    Australian Travel Insurance

    Hi fellow Antipodeans, I'm beginning my first Camino (French way) on June 13th and am currently looking for a good travel/health insurance. I'm wondering whether anyone has any suggestions for one they've used in the past that covers such a long stretch of walking? I'm looked at World Nomads...
