On this Travel Tip Tuesday, we talk about insurance! Now yes, we get it – insurance isn’t an exciting topic but as you start planning to get back on a plane or a train or in an automobile to cross a border – there is more to consider than there was before. We hope things will change but as of right now (according to whenever you read this or listen) it is an amazing idea to plan for everything and that includes travel insurance if you get Covid while travelling and have to quarantine. Jenn shares with us what she has discovered as she is planning to go to Scotland…

There is a lot to think about and prepare before you travel – this is a fact! On this week’s Travel Tip Tuesday we discuss how to not have major travel issues because the one thing you have overlooked is the expiry date on your passport! No one wants their travel plans squashed by passport issues – we talk all about this and ask, did you know certain countries have certain requirements for passports even ahead of the expiry date? Tune in to this travel tidbit that can save you a lot of grief later!

Staying connected is more important than ever these days but what about while you are travelling?  A lot of us use this time away to unplug and recharge but are there reasons you should have access to communication? We say yes!  If your situation allows, we feel it is a great idea on international trips to have at least one cell phone activated with the ability to make/receive calls and also access data. That access could be useful for a wide variety of reasons and on this Travel Tip Tuesday we brief you on all the ways it makes sense for your next big trip!

After 2 long years Jenn left Nova Scotia (finally) and went to visit her best friend in Thunder Bay! She ventured out into this new strange world of pandemic travel and she shares with us what it is like in December 2021 (knowing this could change on any given day), what you should be prepared for and hopefully ease some of your anxiety. *Hint – it is different but not THAT different! A lot of us have yet to get on a plane since early 2020 or before so it’s great to hear a real life account of what it is like out there as we all yearn to get…
