Why Travel Insurance Should Be Your First Travel Essential

There’s nothing like the thrill of exploring new destinations — the food, the culture, the sights! 🌍

But as much as we plan our itineraries, book our accommodations, and prepare our OOTDs, one thing often gets overlooked: Travel Insurance.

And let me tell you — it’s not just a “nice-to-have.” It’s a must-have.

So, what is travel insurance really for?

Travel insurance is your safety net. It protects you from unexpected events like:

✈️ Flight delays or cancellations
💼 Lost or delayed luggage
🏥 Medical emergencies while abroad
📋 Emergency evacuations
😷 COVID-19 related expenses (depending on the plan)

Whether you’re going on a quick weekend getaway or a long-haul adventure, these little mishaps can turn into big expenses if you’re not prepared.

Real Talk: Do Filipinos really need travel insurance?

Yes — especially now that many countries require it for entry. But beyond that, imagine getting sick abroad where hospital bills could skyrocket. Or missing a flight due to weather and having to rebook everything out of pocket. Nakaka-stress, right?

Travel insurance gives you peace of mind, so you can enjoy your trip — not worry about what ifs.

Quick Tip: Look for a plan that covers both medical and non-medical emergencies.
Some even offer 24/7 global assistance and cashless hospital access. Sulit, diba?

My Take as a Financial Advisor

For me, travel is part of a rich and meaningful life. But lifestyle and financial wellness must go hand-in-hand. That’s why I always include travel insurance when planning trips — whether it’s for business, vacation, or even a quick out-of-town break.

Because when you protect your travels, you protect your lifestyle.
