So you’ve decided to tick off everything on your bucket list — that’s great!
Whether you’re taking a gap year, or travelling around the world for the adventure of your life, such a trip brings plenty of opportunities that one should never miss. If you’re taking the leap, then there’s one thing you’ll absolutely need to make sure nothing will wreck the joy of travel: travel insurance!
Under30s Travel Insurance offers you just the right level of cover to stay safe and enjoy your trip to the fullest. Once you’ve packed our convenient long-term travel insurance policy, you’ll only need to consider the following safe travel best practices, and you’ll be ready for adventure.
Long-term trips involve a lot of travelling, different accommodations, plus many expenses. The last thing you want is to end up spending more on an airplane ticket or hotel room, or be unable to get from point A to point B on time.
Prepare before you go, and take the time to create a travel itinerary, list down estimated expenses, and get your trip organised so you won’t run into any issues. Also, be sure to research any disease and hygiene problems in the countries you’re travelling to, and get all the correct vaccinations so you won’t end up getting sick and spending time in a hospital rather than having fun.
Pickpockets to fake beggars, and street games — these are just some of the more common travel scams Aussies face abroad. Since you’re new in the city and aren’t probably familiar with these scams, it’s easy to fall for them — so it’s a good idea to get the time to know them. A few things to keep in mind when you travel abroad:
The one glass of booze you’ve planned to drink may soon be followed by a second, a third, and even a fourth. Limiting alcohol consumption while travelling is paramount to staying safe. There will always be somebody ready to take advantage of the situation, whether it’s about stealing your stuff, or even worse. Make sure you look after yourself to avoid such incidents.
Also, never leave your glass unattended, or accept a drink from somebody you don’t know or have just met. More and more tourists have reported getting their drink spiked in clubs, pubs, and bars.
It’s common to feel the urge to go back home when you’re away for longer than a few weeks — but cheer up. There are new people out there waiting for you to befriend them. Just go there and find them.
