Insurance considerations when traveling with friends

Yudi Pratama,

Traveling with friends is one of life’s greatest treasures. Life can get busy, and if a rare opportunity arises for a group trip, it’s best to match it.

However, the last thing you want is to ruin your getaway with an unexpected, costly medical expense or a canceled trip with no pay-out, leaving you with the wrong kind of lasting memories.

Whether you’re about to set out on a bachelor or bachelorette weekend, a girls’ trip, or a relaxed cottage reunion with your oldest pals, you should give some thought to the travel coverage you already have or may need to purchase before leaving town .

Travel credit card coverage versus comprehensive travel insurance

Before looking up travel insurance providers, it’s worth checking whether your credit card offers travel insurance. Many travel rewards cards have built-in travel insurance perks, such as trip cancellation or interruption coverage, accident insurance, lost or

Beginner’s Guide for the First Time Hiker

Yudi Pratama,

Being confident about your skills and ability to go on a hike without encountering any problems is completely normal, but most beginners underestimate the power of nature and overestimate their abilities.

As a beginner, you need time to figure out how some things from your backpack work, for example, how to set up a tent (they’re usually far more complicated than they look) or how to cook on a tiny camp stove.

Becoming a pro hiker takes lots of error and trial and almost all pros will agree when we say that the process of becoming a pro is basically by learning from your own mistakes. But don’t worry about it, we won’t leave you making mistakes without some basic knowledge! Below, there are five do’s and don’ts for the first time hiker – don’t worry, we’ve all been there!

Eileen Ogintz, Tribune Content Agency

Are you ready? Memorial Day weekend traditionally kicks off the summer vacation season. And, boy, do we all need one.

Yes, the economy is uncertain; gas prices continue to fluctuate and air travel delays add to travel stress, but AAA reports that 42.3 million Americans are expected to travel for Memorial Day. Just remember you can keep to your budget by opting for free experiences. There are festivals galore, hundreds of national and state parks and just in Colorado, the Seven National Wildlife Refuges are free and open to the public for spotting everything from moose to bald eagles. Most museums have free nights. The newly expanded Denver Art Museum is always free for kids up to age 18.

Why is travel insurance the next big opportunity for brokers?

Yudi Pratama,

It’s a new era for travel insurance.

Despite economic uncertainty, Canadians plan to spend over $14 billion on vacations this year, according to new data from Allianz Global Assistance, a leading travel insurance provider. Post-pandemic, travelers have become more risk-aware than ever, and almost 90% say they plan to buy travel insurance for their next trip.

“The pandemic has significantly shifted consumer attitudes around travel, forced a number of changes within the travel insurance industry, and shed new light on the peace of mind travel protection can bring,” says Lucy Hathaway, Allianz’s Chief Sales Officer. “While Canadians are highly aware of the need for travel insurance, they don’t necessarily understand what coverage is right for them. With travel approaching pre-pandemic levels, more and more Canadians are turning to their trusted insurance brokers for travel insurance and advice.”

Widespread staffing shortages and prolonged supply chain issues continue to make travel more

Shervani Hilltop, Nainital – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

I never tire of the hills. The wide open spaces and star-filled skies inspire me, define me. In the mountains, there’s always something to learn, and I feel like I am capable of so much more than I imagined. This was me reminiscing about my trip to Nainital, here’s the link. Then we did another blog post on The Naini Retreat, a great place to stay in Nainital.

About the property : This post is about Shervani Hilltop, a boutique hotel located in Mallital. The wooden interiors, manicured lawns and lush green surroundings give the place an old world charm. If you want to escape the crowd and have some time for yourself, this is an excellent option. You get a panoramic view of the mountains from any place in the property, but the Naini Lake isn’t visible from the hotel.

Anantaya – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

Anantaya is a lifestyle design studio that is centered on the philosophy of using traditional crafts in a contemporary style. The gamut of products designed includes home decor, textiles, lighting, furniture, gifts etc. The store is located in the beautiful surroundings of Narain Niwas Palace, a place that provides a perfectly apt background for such eclectic products.

What I love most about Anantaya is the fact that there is a deep-rooted tradition behind each of their products, whose relevance has been so elaborately explained and then the product is designed in a completely unconventional way but nowhere losing on the origins. Whether it is the Cresent serve ware or the Lotus mirror, each item has been conceived not only from the beauty perspective but their being conducive to the overall well-being of a house.

There’s also a separate section dedicated to organic skincare with things like soap, lip balm, aroma
