As the world climate becomes more interconnected globally and curiosity about the world we live in continues to expand, the trend of students taking a gap year off is becoming more popular. This concept originally started in the United Kingdom and has expanded out to many countries including Canada, Israel, New Zealand and Australia. The gap year provides students with the opportunity to take some time off to work, travel, or volunteer overseas.
That being said, it is important that these students are adequately covered with a gap year travel insurance policy that will cover students overseas no matter where they travel. When choosing the appropriate plan, it is important to consider:
– Does your plan cover you in all the countries you will be traveling to?
– Do you want coverage for non-emergencies?
– Does your plan include emergency medical evacuation and repatriation?
