Hi. This is another area that I definitely do not know much about just yet. I've seen on many resources that worldnomads.com is a good place to look at some possible options.

In your experiences, is travel insurance definitely important - or have you found it to be unnecessary and not worth it? If you've found it to be important, what do you feel the best option(s) are?

On the trip I intend on doing a lot of hiking and being outside a lot in general. Not exactly sure what other physical activities I will get into, but there will likely be some more action outside of hiking.

Thank you!


Chris

P.S. If there are already good existing threads on this subject, feel free to send me there!
