Check your travel insurance
Some travel insurers can be shady and not transparent when it comes to covering you whilst you’re away on holiday. Check and triple check the T’s and C’s when it comes to your insurance and what you are covered on versus what you are not. If you do manage to catch COVID-19 abroad or have an injury, make sure your insurance provider can be contacted at the earliest possible convenience. The last thing any traveller wants (or needs), is an expensive trip on holiday followed by an expensive medical bill home.
