Protect your gear
Recently I decided to plan a trip to Argentina. I’ve been to South America before but never to Argentina. I’ve heard so much about the beauty of Buenos Aires, Patagonia and the Iguazu Falls. In fact, when I was backpacking through Brazil a few months ago other travelers could not believe that I was not going south. I was already in the area so why would I not? Well, now that I’m home I’ve realized how right they were.
Since my trip will be during the shoulder months (ie. October) my list of travel gear will be quite different than if I’d planned to go in the summer. I will need some warmer clothes and perhaps even some mitts. Other than that I’ve decided that this time I will bring my laptop. When I was in South America last time I did not have my laptop. I missed it a lot because there were many times that I could have used it to take advantage of free Wi-Fi or go through all my photos. By bringing a laptop though I’m adding to my target potential for theft. Any time you add expensive items to your gear list you become a more desirable target. I will therefore make sure that my travel insurance covers something happening to my laptop.
I enquired with my local insurance agent and they were unable to offer the coverage I wanted for the price I wanted. I began a search online for a suitable policy. I came across an article that gave me a World Nomads review. Everything that I was looking for in travel insurance was offered online by World Nomads so I decided to sign up for a it. I can now go on my trip to Argentina knowing that my laptop is covered if anything happens to it.
