Hello,

I was wondering if any ex-pats/travellers could help me. I am coming to HCMC in May to teach in May and I plan to stay for probably at least 12 months. What I was wondering was what did you do about travel insurance? I will get backpacker insurance as I will be doing some travelling prior to me settling down but I don't know how long for. The longest I can find is 18 months cover. Did anyone take this option? Is there an alternative once I get to HCMC? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Wiz.

Maybe its insurance you put in a backpack and just "Covers your back"

policy looks ok but if you want coverage included in the qoute for iphone laptop camera, get serial numbers before hand
