When I was a backpacker, my low-budget lifestyle often took me off the beaten path, and rarely did I follow a fixed itinerary. Anything could happen, and that was the whole point. In that same vein, it’s important that backpacker travel insurance coverage fits a lower budget yet is flexible enough to work with changing […]
