About Us
Friendly Global is a team of travel insurance experts who know the industry inside and out. With over 25 years of experience working in international travel and health insurance, we are fully prepared to guide you all around the world…safely and healthily. Going on a 10-day excursion to Guatemala? Backpacking across Europe for 9 months? Or perhaps you’re a digital nomad adventuring to Australia for the foreseeable future. Wherever you’re going and no matter your duration, your preparation should include international health insurance, travel insurance, or both.
About Us
Friendly Global was born of the need to simplify and demystify international travel and health insurance. We have seen firsthand how unprepared many people (including ourselves early on) are for the unexpected twists that often come with international travel. Confusing options, complex terminology, and emergencies abroad have left us and many others in the lurch.
Risks for Travelers Without Comprehensive Coverage
When the world calls, it is tempting to pack a bag, grab your passport and take off. Insurance is often an afterthought but it shouldn’t be! It’s not enough to rely on the old, “I’m sure nothing will happen,” mentality. Accidents, medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and sometimes other problems come up in a foreign land. Prepare for the unexpected with the right coverage.
We’ve been there ourselves. It’s tempting to jump headfirst into adventure without a second thought about the “what ifs.”
At first, it felt exhilarating, until reality hit and everything that could go wrong did. After a trip cancellation, we scrambled to recover our hard-earned savings. A medical emergency in a foreign land turned into a financial nightmare when we had to pay out of pocket because we didn’t have international health insurance.
We realized we weren’t the only ones who had dealt with this. Thousands of other travelers faced similar challenges. At that moment, we made it our mission to help all travelers navigate international health and travel insurance with ease and understanding.
