A quick note on travel insurance:

Personal travel Insurance is absolutely essential when venturing abroad. When selecting a travel insurance policy at a very minimum you should be covered for medical expenses and emergency repatriation.

We strongly recommend that your policy covers personal liability, curtailment, loss of luggage and personal effects and anything that may be specific for you (possible pregnancy, pre-existing medical conditions etc)

Please ensure you have your policy number and emergency telephone number for your insurance company with you on the expedition (a card for example). If this is unavailable please ensure you have the necessary information required by your insurance company in case of an emergency.
