I never used to buy travel insurance :-(REISEVERSICHERUNG MIT WORLD NOMAD - DEUTSCH Travel insurance is just about the last thing any of us think we'll ever need. But tourists to Bolivia often underestimate just how remote and distant some tourist attractions in Bolivia are. Most tours in Bolivia are based on adventure tourism or ecotourism and some are difficult to access. Medical centers can be few and far between if you get sick or need medical care. Bolivia is well-known for its poor road infrastructure, high petty theft rate and poorly equipped tour operators. Stories like this fatal Uyuni tour and the 5 bus accidents that have already resulted in 72 dead and 196 injured JUST in January 2010 are what motivate me too. Bus accidents in 2009 killed nearly nearly 100. Express kidnappings are becoming more frequent in La Paz. I don't usually talk about negative things on my site. I figure you can get that in the news every day. My goal is to highlight the positive but this is just becoming too serious to ignore. Please read this article I recently wrote about demanding your tour operator provide safety guarantees and my advice on what to do. This is what compelled me to offer World Nomads travel insurance directly through this site. Only you know what's really best for you. Just stay informed and safe. A note from me: I only recommend products on this site that I truly believe might add value to your trip. Please don't purchase this specific travel insurance if you don't think it's EXACTLY what you need. You can find a really long list of international insurance companies on my other website GoSouthExpat.com if you want to check out more.
I think World Nomad offers some of the most flexible coverage around; I especially like that they give back to the communities YOU visit through their Footprints program so excuse me if I'm a little biased :-) Bolivia can surely use some of that!There are many other unusual and unexpected amenities on their website including things like Government Travel Warnings and the ability to create and share your own Travel Journals free online. Read other peoples' True claims stories, and even download their wildly successful Spanish segments to your iPod so you can Learn Spanish on your iPod. They also offer an Spanish iPod phrasebook. In fact they offer these in many languages. They even offer Travel Scholarships. It's a truly interesting site to visit.
