Get Travel Insurance for International Trips
The Problem
You have a medical emergency in Thailand. US health insurance doesn't cover international care. A hospital bill could be $50,000+.
The Hack
Buy travel insurance before any international trip: World Nomads, SafetyWing, or Allianz. Covers: medical emergencies, trip cancellation, lost luggage, and emergency evacuation.
Why It Works
US health insurance typically doesn't cover international medical care. A broken leg abroad without insurance can cost $20,000-50,000+. A $50-100 policy covers $100,000+ in medical expenses.
Pro Tips
- World Nomads: best for adventure travel
- SafetyWing: best for digital nomads and long trips
- Covers: medical, evacuation, trip cancellation, lost luggage
- Credit cards may include basic coverage — check before buying extra
