Travel Health Insurance vs. Travel Insurance: Which is Right For You?
from Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast · host Darcy Melton | Nathaniel Mellor
Darcy is still under the weather so it's just Nathaniel in today's episode! If you'll forgive the random tangents and the "um"s scattered throughout, I will try to help you understand the difference between travel insurance, travel health insurance, and at the end, I'll quickly discuss how to bring prescriptions with you on the plane. (Spoiler: you will need the .pdf from this website, or your own note. If you’d like to help out Only A Bag, you can use our affiliate links marked with an asterisk. If you're looking for a simple travel healthcare that's become the gold standard, you can check out World Nomads*. They offer affordable rates, a wide range of options, and plenty of trip cancellation coverage. If you’ve always loved the idea of staying in Italy for an extended period and becoming part of the culture, we can’t recommend housesitting enough. While it does often entail taking care of someone’s pet, it can also be a gateway to seeing Italy in a totally new way. We use Trusted Housesitters* which has a fairly steep upfront cost (a few hundred dollars) but that’s covered with a few nights of a house sit which should never cost you money. Thank you so much for listening! We would absolutely appreciate it if you could follow us and rate us wherever you listen; it helps the podcast grow and it makes us feel like we're making a difference!
