On your next overseas holiday, be mindful of these commonly forgotten insurance types. These insurances can help save you a significant amount of money if an accident occurs. Many people who have accidents on holiday are often put in a financial bind. A financial bind may cause significant hardship on a family and cause them stress and loss of assets. Every family should have insurance while on a holiday. Here are the most important types that I have found. 1. Overseas Medical Insurance Emergency and accidental medical insurance policies are necessary if you are traveling overseas. This type of insurance ensures that you are reimbursed or covered for medical expenses during a trip. With overseas medical coverage, travelers are reimbursed or covered when they incur medical expenses during the trip. Some overseas medical insurance will cover pre-existing conditions, but may not cover certain extreme sports. These policies simply require that they are informed prior to the trip. Other policies will not cover prior conditions. Some insurance companies will cover medical evacuation in cases of political unrest or better medical care in another area. 2. Travel Insurance Baggage loss and theft is often a reality of travel. Travel insurance will cover […]
The Algarve enjoys year-round gorgeous weather, but you might want to think twice before donning your skimpiest bikini to wander round town. It can be easy to forget that Europe is so diverse in terms of its culture and customs, and many awkward faux pas can be avoided if you learn a little bit about the place you’re visiting before you go. We’ve compiled some useful information about Portuguese customs and etiquette to make sure you fit in and avoid offending anyone. Greeting People In terms of greeting people in Portugal, it is usual to shake hands with anyone you are not familiar with, including children, whereas friends and family tend to engage in an embrace and a back pat for men and a kiss on each cheek for women. Don’t assume that you know someone well enough for the embracing or kissing greeting too soon, as this may cause an awkward situation. While many shopkeepers and business owners in the Algarve speak English, not all will, so it is polite to ask whether or not they do by asking ‘Você fala Inglês?’ (‘Do you speak English?’) before launching into a conversation. Even if you can’t speak fluent Portuguese, the […]
Spain’s Costa del Sol is rich in tradition and steeped in history and heritage, and it has many customs and rules of etiquette unique to the country. To avoid causing offence and to help you fit in on your holiday to the Costa del Sol, we’ve put together a collection of the key things to remember before you jet off. Family and Religion The first major point to note is that Spain is all about family. Be careful not to criticize any aspect of a Spaniard’s family on your trip, as this will be considered deeply offensive. Also, remember that your own family is considered an extension of yourself, so be sure to inform them of these etiquette tips so that your entire group is prepared to interact with the Spanish locals. The majority of people in Spain are Christian, and many people, especially adults, take their religion extremely seriously. If you’re going to be visiting some of the Costa del Sol’s many churches and cathedrals, be mindful of what you wear. At the very least, both men and women should keep knees and shoulders covered, and nothing too revealing should be worn inside a church. Make sure children know […]
Everyone has a budget, whether it is dealing with millions of dollars a week or you are down to your last five dollars for the next twenty days, you are on a budget. But when you are traveling or taking Rome tours and you only have a couple of dollars to spend each day, this can make you feel like you just have nothing you can do! After all, everything costs money right? Well… wrong. You can get away with having a brilliant day in Rome and only spend some money on food, and not even a lot of money! The key is to know where to go. Get to Know the Community This is especially crucial if you are staying for longer than a month in Rome. Introducing yourself and getting to know the people around the area not only exposes you to the environment and the world around you but if you hit it off well with some people you can bet that you will end up spending some time with them, which could entail things like free meals, drinks, or even being shown around to all the really juicy spots to see how other people that live in the […]
