Sign up with SafetyWing for your travel insurance for your next trip Katelyn Jarvis … Giving Back In West Point Katelyn Jarvis has traveled to 150 countries Katelyn is one of many who has been on my radar screen for some time as we passed each other like two ships during the night on FB. I finally got to meet Katelyn in person at the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Yerevan and then learned more about her when she was nominated for the Nomad Mania Awards. So I thought now would be a great time to set up an interview and learn more about her travels. I was curious to learn more about Katelyn's philanthropy and how she combined that with her travels. During our conversation, I was impressed to learn more about her efforts with her organization, Peace Stamps. I believe anyone Chasing 193 is an impressive person, when you are able to marry that with something even more meaningful, even better. This is a reminder that I am partnering with SafetyWing, a travel insurance company. I have been using them personally for over 2 years. And yes, there are a couple of reasons why … let me highlight a couple of the features. First, you can purchase insurance while you are already on the go. Some insurance products force you to sign up only when you are in your home country. Second, you only have to share your initial country on your trip. Many times on some of my open ended trips, I end up adding in additional countries. I don't have to worry about forgetting to update SafetyWing. They have me covered. Third, most countries are covered. Exceptions are Cuba, Iran, DPRK, Syria, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Everywhere else is covered from Mogadishu to Tripoli. And fourth, you do not have to declare a dollar value for the trip. Some other providers force you to list the dollar value of your trip. I really can't think of ay trips I have taken where I am able to calculate the trips costs for one or two months. To me, this insurance is fire and forgot. It will renew every month or you can set an end date. But compared to many of the other products out there, this one to me is the most flexible. So, take a moment, check out SafetyWing, and click on the link to sign up for your next trip.
