Lorena had always wanted to travel alone but never had the chance. Eventually, she decided to take a flight to Italy to explore the city of Florence.
On the flight to Madrid, she started experiencing severe stomach pain and regretted eating at the airport. By the time the plane landed, she had already been to the bathroom more than five times and felt a little feverish. Lorena was very scared of having to seek medical care in a foreign country.
Her connecting flight to Italy was delayed due to mechanical problems, so she had to wait seven hours at the airport. After sleeping on the airport floor (close to a bathroom), she was finally able to board her flight to Florence. After landing, she realized that her luggage had gone missing. Can you imagine having to buy clothes and personal items while dealing with food poisoning? Lorena felt overwhelmed and didn’t know how to handle the situation, so she just sat in a corner and started crying.
After several days of struggling to solve problems during what should have been a pleasant vacation, Lorena returned home exhausted and disappointed. She got together with her friend Rita for breakfast and told her all about her ordeal. Rita was surprised that she hadn’t purchased travel insurance.
She told Lorena that she had been through a similar experience on a trip to Bali, but that she had purchased travel insurance, which helped cover all her medical, lodging, and transportation expenses. She also mentioned that her travel insurance had provided 24/7 assistance to find nearby hospitals and coordinate her treatment.
Lorena regretted not purchasing travel insurance and realized that it had been a very costly oversight. Rita encouraged her to visit vida.grupotriples.com to learn more and get a quote for travel insurance for her next trip.
