Figuring out the world of travel insurance can be a tricky game, but our guest this week has done the hard work for you (like literally hiking for three days on a broken ankle) to learn about the ins and outs of the travel insurance game.
I honestly have no idea how my guest this week is still on the road after all that he has experienced in his travels. Let’s put it this way – Sheridan has made 10 different insurance claims already, with three of them being major injuries, and thus he learned quite a lot about travel insurance and what you need to know before and after filing your claims. The fact that Sheridan is still traveling is a testament to his sheer love for travel, and I’m excited to share his story of leaving his home state of North Dakota for long-term life on the road (along with the bumps and bruises along the way).
What we cover in this episode:
- How Sheridan pushed himself to leave his home state of North Dakota and travel the world
- Sheridan’s tips for choosing travel insurance and making insurance claims (which, unfortunately, he learned the hard way)
- How the backpacker route works when traveling alone (Central America to South America
- Some of Sheridan’s favorite things to pack
