Given that I started traveling the world because I was sick, getting an international health insurance plan was a no brainer.

If you're planning to travel long-term – or simply moving abroad – this guide is for you. I'll walk you through the benefits of having a global insurance plan, the top insurance companies serving the global market, how pricing works and the factors you need to consider ahead of choosing a plan, and my 3+ years of experience with my insurance provider.
It took me not just hours but days to research the various insurance options before I left on my adult gap year. I've actually recently researched them a second time because I want to change plans — and I'll tell you my analysis of the present marketplace, and why I've landed where I have. By the end of this post you'll have everything you need to get your own quotes from the one or two companies that offer the right plans for you.
