Default Travel insurance?!

Travel insurance or not to travel insurance, that is the question?!

My first trip I spent six months in Europe without travel insurance, now in the planning of a second trip, this time to Asia and twice as long, Im thinking about getting some insurance...

Do I really need it? I kind of feel as though I want it, a year is a long time and anything can happen. Does anyone know how the medical costs are in China?

Default Travel Insurance

Hi ,

This is my first post don't know whether I would be able to provide you with the information that you need.
I have always used travel insurance as I am a true traveler. Insurance is necessary when you are traveling to an unknown place with your freinds and family.

Good for peace of mind. The only thing I know of travel insurance from my limited experience of travel is that it can save your ass if something goes wrong with your flight.

I think that travel insurance is very important and necessary especially if you travel a lot and for a long time. This is our life and anything can happen suddenly when we do not expect.

Any insurance is very good and in any hard situations. Same as travel insurance is very good for travellers. Now a days many air companies gives travel insurance with less price and too much benefits.
