Travel – Get Cracking With Backpacking

No Comments »
David Collins asked:




Backpacking is a popular method of holidaying, enjoyed by all ages – from students to young professionals.

Whether it be trekking through Thailand, surfing the coasts of Australia or exploring the more spiritual side of India, these trips offer the opportunity to get away from it all and experience other cultures.

But travelling on a budget means that backpackers have an increased risk of crime and suffering some kind of injury abroad – from slips and trips to nips and bites from the local fauna.

It is important to ensure that suitable travel insurance is in place before setting off on such an excursion. Before setting off, travellers should be wary of the costs involved and also ensure they have the correct type of cover for their trip.

There are a number of different cheap travel insurance policies which are specially tailored to meet the needs of backpackers. These policies cover a wide range of factors associated with travelling, and can vary in timescales – ranging from a week to two years.

Backpacker policies can prove to be more affordable than single trip travel insurance policies. It is advisable that potential packers double check the policies and ensure that a number of factors are in place to help cover them through their trip:

Emergency Medical Cover – helps cover any costs in the event of you requiring medical assistance Rescue and Repatriation – helps to cover costs in the event of a medical emergency rescue Baggage and Possessions Cover – an essential part of your cover that helps cover costs of valuables should they be lost or stolen during the trip. Check that the policy also covers admin costs should your passport need to be reissued. Personal Money – provides compensation cover for any lost cash or travellers’ cheques, although the limit tends to be low Personal Liability – legal cover for any accident or injury you might accidentally inflict on another person Holiday Cancellation – should you need to cut your trip short early due to unforeseen circumstances, provides compensation for any monies lost as a result Travel Delay – helps provide compensation for any money lost due to a delayed departure, although this may only apply after a certain amount of time

A wide range of special cover options can be selected to cater for the needs of a backpacking excursion – including protection to cover extreme sports such as bungee jumping and scuba diving, as well as winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding.

Cheap Flights For College Students – Easy Ways To Get Them

Pierre Smith asked:




Privilege is always given to student travelers and the internet has a wide list of air fares at a discounted rate for traveling. There are even websites that solely cater information to address this need for the best air travel deals. There are also sites that provide traveler insurance alongside domestic and international destinations. It is not hard to find cheap flights for college students in these websites.

Other travel methods such as car rentals are also offered in this website. Anything you can think of that is student and travel related services like travel loans, international identification cards and cheap travel insurance, are in statravel.

Check out studentuniverse and you will be amazed with cheapest prices they offer for student travels. The website is a smorgasbord of traveling options aside from the cheaper airway tickets. They have train deals, travel insurance plans, great value in hotels, and the best part is they can help coordinate to travel in groups for educational purposes.

Another stand out travel dedicated website to check out is Travelosophy. Its search engine is amazing helping with tips specifically get the best possible deal for their vacation and home trip. Of course, discount airline tickets are abound here to book.

Hints to Save on Airfares

College students are priority for standby tickets. Bearers of this ticket can get on board the plane at a cut-price fare had there is an unclaimed seat. This makes the student trips at less the cost of the normal rates, which makes it reasonable for students who live it off in their allowances. Standby tickets might give the perks of travelling first class to students even their tickets are discounted since wherever the unclaimed seat is, first class or economy class, the student has the privilege to take that. However, college students can be worn down by being stuck while in the long wait given all seats are claimed in their chosen flights. Worst, it will take them days stranded in the airport due unavailability of flights.

Cheap flights for college students can also take the form of an overnight flight. This is a very early morning flight that you must catch to get a few bucks off the rates. Showing student I.D’s also help to slash a few dollars with the airfare.

BOO! Top 10 Scariest Travel Destinations

No Comments »
Patrick Chong asked:




Some people travel for fun, others for excitement, but perhaps the most alarming genre of tourists are the ones who get their kicks from visiting the most horrifying and ghoulish destinations from throughout history. If you plan on going to any of the top 10 most terrifying places on earth, you might just want to adjust your travel insurance cover to incorporate the possible outcomes…

1. Haunted House

Optional travel insurance: cover for potential ghostly nightmares.

The Winchester Mystery House in San Hose, California, is a well-known California mansion that was built continuously for 38 years from 1884 and 1922, and is thought to be haunted. It once was the home of Sarah Winchester, the widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester. Sarah Winchester thought the house was haunted by ghosts of people killed by Winchester rifles and that only continuous construction would appease them.

2. Eerie Instruments

Optional travel insurance: for accidental execution.

Museum of Execution Instruments, Paris, Fountaine de Vaucluse – Its founder was personally acquainted with the issue – he had worked as an executioner for more than ten years. It comprises execution instruments of all times and nations. At first glance you may consider the giant guillotine to be the most dreadful instrument. But smaller instruments, so ordinary and harmless at first sight, may turn out much more dreadful.

3. Frightful Field

Travel insurance: considered essential for the sinful or senseless.

The field of the Valley of Death in Tibet is full of bones – yogis go there to die; other people to find purification or obtain the secret knowledge. Few return with their original mental state, and it is believed that in the Valley of Death the human sole undergoes a special trial and that sinful or senseless lives are ended.

4. Mortifying Museum

Optional travel insurance: cover for general mental health.

The Museum of Anatomopathology in Vienna is a monument to pathologies, abnormalities, genetic mutations and harsh medieval medicine. Situated in the isolation ward of a former lunatic asylum, even the most cynical tourists agree that this place is horrifying.

5. Chilling Chapel

Optional travel insurance: for bone-related accidents.

The Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic is a small church filled with the sculls of plague victims from the Black Death. The macabre building contains approximately 40,000-70,000 human skeletons. In 1870, Frantisek Rint, a woodcarver, was employed to put the bone heaps into order, and he artistically arranged them to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel. Four enormous bell-shaped mounds occupy the corners and an enormous chandelier of bones, which contains at least one of every bone in the human body, hangs from the center of the nave with garlands of skulls draping the vaults.

6. Creepy Castle

Travel insurance recommended: against bloodsucking vampires and impalement.

Dracula’s Castle in Transilvania, Romania The medieval castle of the famous vampire is situated on the edge of an abyss. After passing through narrow passageways, dark rooms and resonant stone stairs, you find yourself in the bedroom, where, on the big bed with a canopy, the vampire used to **** his victims’ blood. This castle accommodated Vlad the Impaler, one of the most monstrous personalities of the Middle Ages, who had impaled hundreds of innocent people.

7. Horrendous History

Optional travel insurance: against historical fascist dictators.

The Auschwitz Museum is on the territory of the former concentration camp where millions died during WWII. In 1947, in remembrance of the victims, Poland founded the museum and by 1994, 22 million visitors had passed through the famous gateway. Not for the faint-hearted.

8. Terrifying Torture-chamber

Optional travel insurance: for torture chambers

Museum of Torture in Mdina, Malta has a tremendous collection of guillotines, tongs for pulling out nails and other instruments of torture. The application of torture instruments is vividly demonstrated by frighteningly lifelike wax figures.

9. Creepy Catacombs

Optional travel insurance: cover for Parisian entombment.

Paris Catacombs, France In the Denfert-Rochereau Ossuary or Empire of the Dead, far below the city streets of Paris, in the quiet, damp darkness, seven million Parisians lie motionless, their skeletons neatly stacked and aligned to form the walls of nearly one kilometer of walking passage.

10. Gruesome Gulag

Optional travel insurance: for disturbing memories.

Millions of people passed through Gulag in the Soviet Union for the twenty years of its existence. The camps had extremely hard conditions; elementary human rights were violated and minor breaches of regime were drastically punished. Mortalities from starvation, diseases and exhausting labor was extremely high. Today, under the northern sky in Solovki, you can see the deserted barracks, tunnels, punishment cells and depositories with prisoners’ clothes and shaved hair.
