There have been several threads recently about illness and safety on the Camino.
I have been looking into travel insurance, as this seems to be a good idea and a reasonable precaution. I’ve never had it before, but I’ve also never taken this type of trip before.
However, when I’ve searched online for plans that seem to offer the right type of insurance, they often exclude those who live in the USA and are traveling to other countries.
I keep finding plans for people traveling into the USA, but for some reason, not the other way around. I’m not finding much of what I want, which is for Americans traveling out of the country, and a policy that would cover any emergency services, hospitalization, or evacuation.
Of course, I trust that I will have a safe and healthy trip! Still, it’s good to be covered.
Do any fellow Americans have suggestions of what to look for, or specific companies or websites to use?
