But do you know the difference between travel insurance and health insurance? Each plays a vital role in safeguarding your journey, but they serve distinct purposes. Travel insurance typically covers unexpected events like trip cancellations, lost luggage, and emergency evacuations. On the other hand, health insurance focuses on long-term medical needs, ensuring you get comprehensive care wherever you are in the world. Before your next adventure, make sure you understand what each type of insurance covers so you can make an informed decision that fits your lifestyle. Whether you're hopping from one country to another or settling down in a new location, being properly insured will give you peace of mind and let you focus on what really matters—your incredible journey. 🔗 Check the link in comments to learn more and make sure you're covered 🛡️✈️ @safetywing #travelinsurance #healthinsurance #traveltips #digitalnomad #remoteworklife #stayprotected #travelsmart #nomadlife #digitalnomadtips #safetywing
