The most essential piece of advice for backpackers is that you must have travel insurance. Should you travel without it you will be exposing yourself to unnecessary risks and dangers on your gap year.

You could end up with huge bills of up to £20,000 should anything go amiss. You also need to insure yourself against your money or belongings being stolen and any other possible events.

It is better to be wise about medical and health care cover, cancellation cover, personal liability cover, personal accident cover and possessions cover.
