We enjoy our overseas holidays and use Australian company MyCover for travel insurance

We have lived overseas a couple of times and this has given us the opportunity to make short holiday trips to adjacent locations and countries. Now we are based back in Australia everything is just that little bit further away, however we are still fortunate enough to have the time and budget to make at least one overseas trip each year. We have made a number of trips to Asia, as we are familiar with the countries from our time based in Hong Kong and Singapore. This year we are returning to USA, as we made good friends there during last year’s holidays.

Our planning usually takes from one year to the next, as travel is our main leisure focus and we are usually looking at web sites and working how we can go just that little bit further on this year’s budget. We research flights and when it come to travel insurance we have found that we can buy what we require online at a significant savings to travel agency prices by using the MyCover web site. It has handy information for reference on the cover you are purchasing and was recommended to us by friends. They had been a little less fortunate than us when my friend’s husband got ill in Italy last year and had to spend a day in hospital until they were sure he was right. We wanted to make sure we would be covered if anything like this happened to us, so this is why we have chosen to stay with MyCover.

This year’s trip will take us to New York at Christmas time, which is something unusual for us as we have never experienced a white Christmas. We have some of our family travelling with us for part of the trip and we will be together for the first two weeks of our holiday.
