When travelers must cancel a trip for a covered reason, travel insurance allows them to recover 100% of their covered trip costs. Experience shows that every traveler should purchase travel insurance as soon as they make their first trip deposit. “As soon” means no later than 14 days after the deposit date. Insurance can still be purchased after this timeframe, but it becomes more limited, as pre-existing conditions and certain other coverages may no longer be included. A cou

I’ve been a travel advisor for nearly twenty years, planning everything from luxury European tours to adventurous safaris in Africa. Over time, I’ve learned that travel insurance is not just a “nice-to-have”—it can be the difference between a smooth trip and a costly disaster. Here are a few stories and lessons that have shaped how I help my clients today. The Honeymoon That Needed Protection Years ago, I helped plan a honeymoon to Africa. A former coworker, who I won’t name,

Cartagena is one of Colombia’s most enchanting coastal gems, it's everything a person would want in a trip, vibrant, historic, and full of life.  I always recommend spending 2–3 days in Cartagena’s main historic center , where the charm is strongest. This walled city is full of colorful colonial streets . You’ll find reminders of its militaristic history  in the fortifications built to defend the city from invasions and its significant role in Colombia’s fight for independ

Malliouhana  was the original name of the island of Anguilla , which in the indigenous language means arrow-shaped sea serpent . On my recent visit, I arrived in Sint Maarten , a modern airport equipped with biometric systems that make the arrival process quick and effortless. From there, a scenic boat ride took me to Anguilla—where peace and tranquility await. The beaches are pristine and the ocean crystal clear—no sargassum, no beach vendors, no crowds. Just you, the sea, a

There’s the Costa Brava near Barcelona, known for its charming medieval towns, wineries, Dalí-related sites, Game of Thrones filming locations, and castles. Then there's the Costa del Sol near Málaga — the playground of the rich and famous. One highlight is the Puente Romano, home to 21 restaurants, spectacular villas, and the Nobu Hotel. (Fun fact: it’s named after the Roman bridge located on the property.) Right next door is the iconic Marbella Club. The beach is beautiful,
