- Allows you to stay in multiple destinations – worldwide policies can cover multiple countries. This provides you with freedom in that you can stay longer in one destination than you initially planned, or can stop off somewhere you hadn’t anticipated and still be covered.
- Covers extended travel – if you’re backpacking, you could be away for months or even over a year. Backpacker policies cover this longer period of time.
- Protects you in a wide variety of activities – backpackers tend to engage in a wider range of activities and excursions than people heading out on a short beach vacation. Backpacker insurance tends to provide you with cover while engaging with activities such as engaging in water sports, hiking in rural areas, or skiing.
