Sick in Vietnam.
I was so relieved and grateful to all of the World Nomads team to get insurance cover for my treatment this week whilst I have been sick in Vietnam. Thank you for all your hard work and understanding to manage my complicated case with negotiations and international correspondence. I received a truly professional service from you. U.K resident in Vietnam I was riding my mountain bike when I hit something and went over my handle bars. I put both hands out and broke my wrists and knocked myself out. I woke up in an ambulance and then went to Whistler Health Care Centre where I had x rays and further treatment. U.K resident in Canada World Nomads has consistently matched my expectations as dependable travel insurance. They can easily be reached and address claims rapidly. Look no further and sign up for your next trip.
