A true claim story

  • This adventure I shared with one of my lovely daughters, has been totally fulfilling in every sense of the word. From the moment we landed in Cuzco, until we left, our experience was momentous for all the right reasons. Being insured with World Nomads added a sense of security, and I really enjoyed the reminders coming through. I will most certainly use you next time I'm off to the Jungle!!!!!
    Kiwi in Peru
  • I was snowboarding and it was icy. I caught an edge on my board and flipped over landing on my back. I injured my Lumber spine and head and could not move at all. I had to be put on a back board and taken by ambulance to Banff Mineral Springs Hospital where I was examined and had x- rays.
    Kiwi in Canada
  • Upon arrival to Spain on the 4th of April I had been displaying fever, headache, exhaustion and dizziness. This lasted for a week, so I went to the doctor at the hospital in Malaga, Andalucia where they gave me a consultation and blood test showing results that indicated a mosquito-bourne virus which makes sense as I arrived in Europe from Mexico a week before the symptoms started.
