Health and travel insurance are essential when traveling, especially for nomadic travelers. It’s crucial to find a plan that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost belongings. Before purchasing a plan, thoroughly read the policy to understand what is and isn’t covered. It may also be beneficial to find a policy that offers direct payment to healthcare providers, so you don’t have to pay out-of-pocket and then seek reimbursement. Always keep your insurance information accessible and inform your insurer immediately in case of an emergency.

Balancing blogging, traveling, and living is about effective time management and setting priorities. We allocate specific times for exploring, writing, editing photos, and resting. Having a routine, even a flexible one, helps us stay organized. We also ensure we take time to just live – enjoying a sunset, a meal, or a walk without the pressure of documenting it. Remember, it’s important to live in the moment too. It’s a juggling act, but with passion and planning, it’s certainly possible to do all three​.
