Learn about the benefits of travel insurance for live action role playing, and why you may want to consider coverage before your next trip.
Trusted by:
Whether you are into fantasy, renaissance, steampunk, or horror, the excitement of participating in live action role play (LARP) can be electrifying. You’re able to step away from the mundane reality and responsibilities of life, and temporarily enjoy some adventurous fun in a fictional setting.
Most game masters take steps to try to keep the environment safe, but some things can’t be avoided. If you are attacked by a crunchy, step back too far when blocking, and trip over a tree root, that fall to the ground will bring you back to reality quickly. If you have plans to participate in a LARP event on your next trip, you may want to consider a World Nomads travel insurance plan with adventure sports coverage.
Trip and falls are some of the most common injuries that happen while LARPing. When you’re engrossed in the moment as a player character or non-player character, you can become so consumed in your actions that you don’t pay attention to the terrain around you. Uneven ground and a twisted ankle can be scarier than the horde of monsters coming towards you. Getting hit in the eye with a spell packet is not any fun either. A travel insurance plan from World Nomads could assist by helping to reimburse expenses for things like an ambulance transfer, prescription medication, hospital stay, or other emergency medical needs if you get hurt while LARPing. You will still need to have Government Health Insurance Plan (GHIP) coverage in your home province while you are on your trip though. If you don’t, your total limit for all emergency medical expenses during your trip is limited to CAD $40,000.
Are you planning to explore even more sports and adventures while you are travelling? World Nomads covers more than 250 activities for Canadian residents. When you get a quote, you can check out our Standard and Explorer plans to compare coverage side by side and decide on the best travel insurance coverage for your needs.
You will need to list all the activities that you plan to participate in while on your trip at the time that you purchase your policy. You won’t be able to add or remove activities after you make your purchase, so make sure you add them all at that time.
Level 1 activities like live action role play, archery, canyoning, and golf are automatically covered, but these will still need to be listed when you purchase your policy. However, you will need to pay an additional premium to be covered for Level 2 and Level 3 activities like hang gliding, tandem skydiving, or zip lining. Special conditions may also apply. If you plan on participating in an activity that isn’t listed in your policy wording, you will need to contact us to determine if you will be covered.
World Nomads covers international and domestic trips, when travelling outside of your home province. In addition to emergency medical coverage, travel insurance may help with several other aspects of your trip. For Canadian residents, World Nomads may also offer coverage for:
If you arrive at your event, and aren’t vibing with the plot of your LARP, your adventure travel insurance would not cover you if you wanted to cancel or interrupt of your trip. Some other things that are not covered include:
We’ve learned that every LARP is different, and we encourage you to make sure an event fits your comfort level before participating. Find out ahead of time what type of story you are joining in, and the combat the event allows. Never make assumptions about safety and always ask questions related to the equipment and actions that are classified as safe.
Here are a few other tips we have found to help keep you safe while LARPing:
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms and conditions of the policy. It is important you read and understand your policy as it contains benefits, conditions, exclusions and pre-existing condition exclusions.

Contact the teamIf you’re incorporating pickleball into your travel plans, learn how travel insurance can help in case the unexpected strikes.
Trusted by:
Millions of people have fallen in love with the unique combination of tennis, badminton, and ping pong known as pickleball.
As one of the fastest growing sports in the world, more hotels are building pickleball courts to give experienced and new picklers a chance to get in on the action while they are travelling.
While serious injuries are rare in pickleball, even the best of us have lost our balance and taken a tumble when going for an overhead slam.
If pickleball is on your list of activities for your next trip, you may want to consider a World Nomads travel insurance plan with adventure sports coverage, that offers coverage to protect you both on and off the court, when you are travelling.
Falls are one of the most common pickleball related injuries. You can be proactive and take steps ahead of time to work on your balance, but as you are twisting, turning, and moving across the court, there’s always a possibility of accidents.
A travel insurance plan from World Nomads could assist with things like x-rays, medication, a hospital stay, or other emergency medical needs you may have if you suffer an emergency medical condition and get hurt playing pickleball.
You will still need to have GHIP coverage in your home province while you are on your trip though. If you don’t, your total limit for all emergency medical expenses during your trip is limited to CAD $40,000.

Contact the teamWhat happens when a natural disaster strikes?
Trusted by:
It’s one thing if a rainy day washes out your trekking expedition, but what if a hurricane blows the roof off your home before you leave for your trip? When a natural disaster strikes, it’s hard to classify your trip as anything but… a disaster. But World Nomads can offer some much-needed weatherproofing, with protection for trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and more.
A natural disaster is a natural event caused by weather or climate that causes destruction or loss, such as an earthquake, widespread flooding, wildfire, hurricane, blizzard or volcanic eruption. It could also mean any weather that causes severe and widespread damage, triggering a travel advisory from the Canadian Government or a ‘natural disaster’ declaration at your trip destination.
While the forces of nature are unpredictable, your travel insurance should be a sure thing. World Nomads provides coverage for:
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms and conditions of the policy. It is important you read and understand your policy as it contains benefits, conditions, exclusions and pre-existing condition exclusions. If you do not understand your coverage, or if you have questions, just ask us.
When you’re ready, you can get a quote and compare the coverages in our Standard and Explorer plans side-by side. And please reach out if you have any questions – we’re happy to help.
If you’re traveling to a region that’s known for natural disasters, it's a good idea to do some research to see if there have been any warnings. If you buy a policy after an event is known, and the natural disaster impacts your trip, you won’t be covered for any expenses.
World Nomads travel insurance is designed to help you come unstuck in sticky situations, like when you show up, but your bags don’t. Fill out the quick quote form below and get an instant quote today.
One night, I was on the surf charter boat, in the Mentawai Islands, Sumatra, Indonesia. There was an earthquake and tsunami that hit and completely destroyed the boat. The boat caught fire. The fire spread rapidly and we had to abandon ship. The boat along with all personal belongs were completely destroyed. The fire spread so quickly that there was no time to collect any belongings. The only things I ended up with were the shorts I was wearing, my watch and wedding ring. Almost all my possessions and documentation were on the boat and destroyed.

Trusted by:
The USA is a vast continent of mountains, deserts, lakes and forests, all edged by a spectacular and diverse coastline. Each state is different from the next with unique food, music, people and landscapes to discover.
Whether you plan to eat your way across the USA, hit the hiking or ski trails, or catch big waves, things can always go wrong. It might be a bad case of gastro, a fall on a ski slope or losing your luggage at a huge US airport; but if you consider adding travel insurance when you pack your suitcase, we can help you turn these wrongs into rights.
Traveling can be complicated, but travel insurance shouldn’t be. We keep it simple at World Nomads with just two policies to choose between: Standard and Explorer. Depending on your Country of Residence and the plan you have selected, you may be covered for:
Treatment at an American hospital is very expensive. Traveling without insurance cover could be a very costly oversight.
If you’re planning to hike in the mountains and want to be covered by World Nomads, make sure you speak to us first. Some adventure activities require upgrades to your policy, and some activities are not covered at all.
If your luggage is damaged or stolen while traveling, World Nomads may cover the cost of repair or replacement (within policy limits).
Traveler tip: you can speak to us about our optional upgrades for high-value items you plan to take to the USA.
World Nomads doesn’t offer a one-size-covers-all policy. Some incidents we won’t cover include:
Be sure to read the PDS and General Exclusions for other scenarios and expenses we don't cover so there'll be no surprises if you need to make a claim.

New Zealanders are known for their love of the outdoors, so it’s not surprising kiwis love the USA for its hiking, scuba diving, surfing, camping and so much more. From the Rocky Mountains to the beaches of California, Oregon and Florida, there are plenty of opportunities for adventure.
Whether you plan to eat your way across the USA, hit the hiking or ski trails, or catch big waves, things can always go wrong. It might be a bad case of gastro, a fall on a ski slope or losing your luggage at a huge US airport; but travel insurance could help you turn these wrongs into rights.
Travelling can be complicated, but travel insurance shouldn’t be. We keep it simple at World Nomads with just two policies to choose between: Standard and Explorer. Our policies offer cover (up to the policy limits) for:

If you land at any airport and your luggage does not, we can help. If your baggage is delayed by the carrier for more than 12 hours after your scheduled arrival, we can pay for the cost of your essential items (up to policy limits), and subject to the policy terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions.
