My Japan recap + a travel essential for your next trip
|
Happy Thursday! I'm home from Japan, and if you noticed by my lack of an email last week... the jetlag took me out! However, Japan was absolutely incredible and is now easily one of my new favorite countries. I'll have my full review of the trip in next week's newsletter, and Japan YouTube videos are coming VERY soon! Until then, I wanted to talk about one thing I NEVER travel without: Travel Insurance One of the things I get asked about the most is travel insurance. Should you get it, and if so, which one? Absolutely, you should have travel insurance, as you never know when things may go wrong. SafetyWing is my go-to for travel insurance because it covers so much, is easy to purchase for days or months, and is affordable. It’s a great option whether you're going on a short trip or traveling long term. What Travel Insurance Usually Covers:
When You Should Consider It:
Other Options to Know About: Many credit cards also include travel insurance, especially premium travel cards. Personally, I get SafetyWing on top of my credit card insurance to make sure I’m fully covered, especially for medical expenses or trip delays. Want to Learn More? Having the right coverage can save you money, time, and stress if something goes wrong. It’s worth taking a few minutes to understand what your trip needs. As always, you can follow along with my current travels on Instagram and Facebook, or reply to this email if you want to chat about insurance... or something more exciting! Have a great weekend :) Sarah Some links in this email are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission if you click the link or make a purchase through the link. This is at no extra cost to you.
