Beware
Travellers who are not covered by insurance are personally liable for covering incurred medical and associated costs. Don't leave yourself in a situation where you may be forced to sell off assets to cover your unexpected travel expenses.

Taking out travel insurance is the one thing you can do to help reduce the likelihood of becoming one of the more unhappy travel statistics.
