When is the best time to travel the country?

Get travel insurance for a certain country or time period while travelling?

• Hi, I'm setting off backpacking soon, but as I'm only starting off in Europe and I'm from the UK, I am covered for medical treatment there with my EHIC card and don't need insurance. However I do intend to go further afield later on and it seems most insurance companies want you to get the insurance from your home country. Would I be able to get insurance for a certain country where medical bills are likely to be high, or for a certain period of time while I'm away from home? Will it cost much more? Any reccommended companies for this? I was going to get a years worldwide cover, but it's really expensive and I may end up not going anywhere where medical insurance is really necessary. Thanks. :)

• Answer:

  It's probably better to get it all covered under one insurance from your home country as you dont need to worry about the special terms and conditions of each respective foreign country. If you're a healthy young chap that do not do risky things you dont really need medical insurance but more into accident coverage. Also, avoid visiting a corrupted place which is like jumping into a hell of bombs that can explode anytime, the reason being the people are unfairly treated by the injustice system, they have nowhere to express their grievances than turning to violences towards the innocence as a way to make their voice heard.
