In the midst of Seattle winter, I find myself often turning to photography from past cruises as a brief consolation. It’s tough to get out much in the winter (it gets dark at 4pm!), and some of the winter blues are relieved by reminiscing over photos from sunnier times in the San Juans, Desolation Sound, Barkley Sound, and other places our travels have taken us.
Photography is a long-time hobby of mine, and I feel photos really do tell a thousand words as they say. So I’ll keep this short and sweet and highlight some of my favorites from the past three years:

Just like human beings, all travel insurance policies are not built the same. Travel insurances vary a lot in terms of the things they cover depending upon the policies. For example, a regular travel insurance will cover your medical fees, lost luggage’s costs or your cancelled trips, but the insurance might not be applicable to someone who has a pre-existing medical condition. Or maybe you won’t need a medical travel insurance at all, which you can find at a much cheaper cost. So remember to thoroughly check all that your travel insurance policy includes, and make sure it matches your needs. That way you will be sure to find the perfect travel insurance policy for you.
There are many companies selling many travel insurance policies, and the same policies also get sold by different companies and brokers. Brokers sell insurance policies of the companies who they are affiliated with, whereas the companies themselves might be selling the same policies at different prices. So make sure you do your research and find the best price you can possibly get.
Depending on how frequently you travel, you can choose how long you want your travel insurance to be valid. If you are someone who goes for a vacation only once or twice a year, then opting for an insurance policy on a per trip basis will be perfect for you. However, if you are travelling frequently throughout the year, then opting for a year-long travel insurance will be much cheaper and hassle-free for you.
Opting for a travel insurance policy right when you book your trip is a great way to feel safe and worry-free right from the beginning. It is the easiest way to book a travel insurance without facing any hassles. However, if you want to get the best travel insurance policy for you, you must invest some amount of time to research after you book your trip. Check with online or offline vendors, get some travel insurance quotes, make sure you know what you need and all of them are getting covered at the best price to find the perfect deal for you.
