Insure Yourself When You Travel

Some of you may recall that my friend Boon, passed away after an illness. When he was sick, he traveled to China to seek Eastern medical treatment. We were very worried about him because he was not feeling well and on medication. However, Boon got himself covered with a medical travel insurance. It wasn't very expensive but the benefits are great.

At first, I did not know that there s something like medical travel insurance but after Boon bought one, I went online to do some research and found that there are actually quite a range of insurance product for the traveler!

Although Boon was rather ill, he still managed to get medical insurance for his travel, only that it was a little more expensive although I found out that people with pre-existing minor medical condition may be able to get instant coverage without an additional cost.

In any case, I think that it is up to us to shop smartly for our insurance or anything at all. Check the background of the insurance company or ask around for recommendations. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertisement.
