COVID UPDATE - August 2021:
As some borders are opening up to tourists once again, especially in Europe, its great to see that some travel insurance companies are now including Covid-19 benefits in their policies. However, they still have limits and exclusions, so you must read the small print carefully to know exactly what situations you are/are not covered for.
- 1World Nomads Travel Insurance - new section added to cover eight Covid-19 related events for residents of 97 countries from UK & Ireland, some non-EEA European countries, Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America (excluding Brazil).
- 2Covermore Travel Insurance - Australian travellers - new 'Covid-19 Ready' section added.
Other useful sites:
Before you travel, please ensure you check the latest travel updates for your country and which countries have open borders.

About the blogger & world traveller
Hi, Travel Groovers
I'm Lisa
At last count I've been to 71 countries. My path to becoming a Global Gypsy began when my geography teacher took us on a school trip to Singapore. I was so mesmerised by the different culture, food and landscape that I immediately caught the travel bug. After completing a business degree in tourism and working in various large travel organisations in Australia and UK, I backpacked around the world for 11 years non-stop. Even worked on cruise ships in the Caribbean. I believe life is enhanced through travel adventures. My passion is to share my wealth of travel tips to help you travel smarter for less. Find out more
