Deciding to go on a backpacking tour overseas and need travel insurance? A backpacking trip can be the holiday of a lifetime, moving from one location to another over an extended period of time.
On your backpacking trip, you can expect to see many different locations, meet plenty of people, have fun and most importantly, discover something new about yourself. Backpacking is becoming an increasingly more popular way to travel. What started as a cheap way for young people to travel is fast becoming the preferred method for a lot of people. Even people well into their sixties are choosing to backpack and stay in hostels/guesthouses, rather than the traditional way.
The reason why people backpack is that it really puts you in the heart of a country. You’re on the ground level, speaking frequently to locals and learning their secrets. This could mean finding a great restaurant that would’ve otherwise been hidden from the heights of your lofty hotel room, or something as simple as a good walking trail.
Because of the nature of backpacking, you are definitely more exposed to the elements than what you normally would be. We recommend taking out a travel insurance policy before you head off to ensure that you and your belongings are safe for your holiday.
