One Thing You Should Always Do When Booking a Trip Anywhere

by Angela V

If there’s one thing I always talk to my clients about when planning a trip, it’s travel insurance. It may not be the exciting part of booking a vacation, but as a travel advisor, I can honestly say it’s one of the most important decisions you’ll make.

In my job, I help people not only plan their dream trips, but also navigate the unexpected. And lately, there has been a lot of unexpected.

In just the last six months alone, I’ve helped clients deal with trip changes, delays, and cancellations because of hurricanes in Jamaica, severe winter storms, sudden flight stoppages to Cuba from Canada, and, most recently, the situation in Puerto Vallarta. These things are completely out of our control. No one books a vacation expecting something to go wrong, but sometimes it does.
