Our journey started with what felt like endless planning. Our first step no matter where we plan to go is always to check Skyscanner for flights. This platform allows us to compare multiple airlines, play with dates, and explore nearby airports to find the best options for our family of five. (Don’t have a set location: Select your departing airport and click the everywhere feature to find amazing deals to exciting new places) Finding the best deal is crucial when purchasing multiple tickets, so once we’ve identified our preferred flights, we book directly through the airline’s website. We use this approach because it often provides smoother customer service if there are issues with your booking, updates from the airline regarding your flight, and most airlines have perks like miles you can accumulate. For this trip, we chose Copa Air, and they exceeded our expectations with their punctuality, excellent meal service, and complimentary drinks, making our journey comfortable and enjoyable.
It’s important to prioritize travel insurance before embarking on any major trip. For our family, choosing an annual plan that covers all our travels and everyone made the most sense. It ensures continuous coverage so that you’re protected whenever and wherever you travel. Planning with travel insurance alleviates some of the what-if anxiety, allowing us to focus on enjoying our adventures to the fullest. We opted for Allianz Advantage due to the extensiveness of their coverage and the ability for customization, which made the choice easy. Their customization allows you to tailor the policy to fit your specific travel needs, whether it’s adding extra coverage for adventure activities, rental car protection, or higher limits for emergency medical expenses. This flexibility ensures that you’re not paying for coverage you don’t need while still getting the protection that’s essential for your travels.
When preparing for our long-term travels, we had to consider international medical coverage. Though it’s not always necessary, certain countries require it for entry. Traveling with a family of five can quickly become expensive, so finding a cost-effective solution was crucial. We found that Atlas Travel-World Trips not only met all requirements but was also remarkably affordable for our family of five. We customized our deductible and maximum coverage options to fit our needs. What impressed us the most was its extensive coverage network, which spans 270 countries worldwide. In addition, they offer a unique and impressive feature of brief coverage of our home country. This benefit ensures that we are protected not only internationally but also during brief visits back home. This level of flexibility and comprehensive protection is rare among international medical insurance providers and was a significant factor in our decision to choose WorldTrips. This flexibility and breadth of coverage made World Trips an ideal choice for our long-term travel plans. This decision ensures that our family has access to necessary healthcare services wherever our adventures take us, providing peace of mind throughout our travels.
So much of this life ahead is unknown, as we settle into our world-schooling journey, we are so grateful for the peace of mind that comes with having travel insurance and international medical coverage. Prioritizing our family’s safety and well-being will allow us to fully immerse ourselves in the rich culture of this beautiful world. We’re excited to share more of our experiences with you as we dive deeper into Ecuadorian culture and begin our educational journey abroad. Thank you for joining us on this incredible adventure! –OurWiseDecision
