5 Reasons You Should Consider Travel Insurance in the USA
The United States is an exciting destination, and almost everyone on the planet can name something they would love to see and do. This is a country which is so diverse that there is enough to fill the itinerary for many trips. Though whether you’re heading to the States for the achingly beautiful landscapes or a mesmerizing metropolis, one thing will always ring true: it’s essential to consider obtaining travel insurance for your trip.
For those who travel without it, you’ll hear things like “I don’t worry about things which haven’t happened yet”, or “it doesn’t matter if you lose your bags, just travel with things you can afford to replace”, or my favourite, “it’s totally fine – I never get sick”.
And thankfully in most cases, yes, travel goes off without a hitch. Hopefully you’ll never have to understand the value of taking out travel insurance. But, if you have to, you don’t want to regret having brushed off its importance. For that alone, travel insurance is worth considering.

Despite fantasizing about the day I might become a carry on traveler, I’m not willing to sacrifice my luggage. But dealing with luggage at the airport is a huge inconvenience, and that’s obviously why some people only ever travel with carry on.
It would be so lovely if there was someone who could just take our bags for us and make them reappear on the other side!! Someone who would pick up your luggage from your home or office and deliver it wherever you want it to go.
Surprisingly, that’s not a far fetched dream, as I realized when I read Travel With Bender’s review of Luggage Free.

read moreUse Flexiroam X for Free Mobile Data when Traveling Overseas
If there’s one thing most of us expect nowadays it’s a reliable internet connection, and having access to mobile data is perhaps even more important for those who travel. That connection means access to information, money, and methods of communication when you find yourself in a foreign land. It’s how we organize everything from where to eat to finding a route to the hotel.
Mobile data has become such an integral part of our daily lives that most of us would be lost without it. Though international roaming can be ridiculously expensive, so staying connected overseas usually means hitting up a local café, finding an insecure public hotspot, or buying a local sim.
Thankfully, companies like Flexiroam are starting to step in, offering a data roaming solution that lets you earn free data before you travel, helping to avoid huge roaming fees when you’re overseas.
