If you are reading this site it is probably because you are wanting to move overseas. Kudos to you for that! And I am right there with you!

Now, before you make that move you will likely be traveling trying to figure out where you want to go and whatnot. If that is the case, do not let a medical disaster bankrupt you and sideline those dreams just because you were not carrying travel medical insurance.

If you have medical insurance through an employer or something then you may think that you are fine. Well, think again! A lot of travelers end up finding out the hard way that their medical insurance only provides coverage in their home country or only pays half of the costs. And considering the current exchange rate with the dollar being so low, that half could be a lot.

Why not just get a a travel medical insurance policy. Did you know that you can get one for as little as $1 a day?
