The problem with always-travelling is health insurances. I have found that most international insurances (for example Allianz) insure you "worldwide, with a country of residence" meaning that travels are limited to 3 months. Which seems incredibly inadapted to people from generation Y.

You must be farther than 100 miles from your home residence at the time of your medical incident. I believe the catch is, if something happens and you need coverage beyond the end of your current policy, then renewing it doesn't earn you continued coverage for that incident. That would be what they call a pre-existing condition. So you'll notice when you sign up that the longer you extend your policy, the more it costs per month. E.g. 3 months might be $200 and 6 months $600
- abalashov 11y agoIt depends on where you are. In a lot of parts of the world, you're better off paying out of pocket. I would say not just in the developing world -- even out-of-pocket fees for foreigners not covered by social medicine in the EU didn't strike me as being egregious or unaffordable. Then again, perhaps I was comparing them to the insanity in the US.
