We take advantage of this article related to travels to remind you the importance of a travel insurance, that covers you against any kind of health emergency, repatriation, lost baggages, cancellations etc. Paying this amount always worths it, as even for an insignificant health issue, costs abroad can be truly high. If you don’t have a travel insurance, you can get a 5% discount by booking with the international company IATI.
