The way I see it, if you can’t afford travel insurance, then you can’t afford to travel. I must admit, I’ve never heard of SafetyWings before. I generally use World Nomads. I’ll have to check them out. 🙂

Great article. We’ve not purchased travel medical insurance in the past, but I think it is a good idea and plan to make it a habit for all future travel. Your article was very informative and persuasive, so thank you!

Hey Jessie, $250,000 seems like a lot for regular life (I’ll happily accept $250k from anyone who thinks otherwise!), but for travel medical emergencies I’ve been told it’s on the low end. And anything above that would come out of your pocket. Apparently SafetyWing’s planning to increase it to $1million at some point, but until then what do you think?

Ummmm this is awesome, I’ve been waiting for something like this. I hope they are able to expand in the future to be able to totally replace my at-home health insurance and be all-encompassing for me as a traveler. When I worked in the music industry we had something similar for musicians (who are considered freelance, I guess) called Rock For Health. I always thought there should be something like that for travelers, maybe this is it. Right now I just have whatever insurance my seasonal employers provide, and then I have travel insurance when I’m off-season. But there are always months where they don’t overlap correctly, like maybe I’ll have a few weeks where I’m not traveling AND I haven’t started a new job yet (plus when you get a new seasonal job your insurance often doesn’t kick in right away).
