Travel insurance
Contact your travel agent or insurance agent and ask what type of travel policy they recommend. This kind of policy will be necessary in any case of emergency: accidents not covered by your health insurance (particularly important when going for mountain hiking, skiing, scuba-diving, paragliding, biking, etc…), loss or theft of property, costs of cancellation of a journey due to various unforeseen circumstances (sudden illness, accident, fire, etc.). Remember, though, these are only a few examples, and not every traveller needs a full package of insurance. Everything depends on the type of journey, the means of transportation and many other aspects of your travel. It is also worthy to consider protection of your home if you are leaving it empty for a longer period of time.
