Malayan Travel Insurance Review

Traveling on a budget is my mantra. I will do everything to spend the least possible way. I chose to bring clothes enough to use the free 7 kg hand-carry baggage,  I prefer to stay at hostels and I always skip paying for that meager amount of travel insurance. 

Two years ago while on a media trip to Indonesia for 15 days, something happened. The tip of my middle finger (yeah I know!) started to itch so bad. Within 24 hours it turned red and the next thing I know is it developed pus already. It's so bad that I cannot even bend my whole middle finger. Until now, I have no idea where I got the infection. We were traveling from different spots: Lombok, Labuan Bajo, Bandung, Jakarta and Bali.  We visited wet markets, did island-hopping, hard to reach indigenous communities, ate loads of local food et cetera. I have completely NO CLUE how I got it. 

Good thing, this trip was all taken care of the tourism office of the host country.  I was rushed to the nearest private hospital. The lady doctor suggested removing the pus immediately. This means a minor operation should be done. This is not a life-threatening situation but getting sick or involved in an accident outside our home country is truly a nightmare if we are not prepared. 

I was thinking what if this is a bigger health issue that I need to pay hundreds of thousands  (or millions) in cash? What if I don't have a travel insurance? I have enough money and savings but I don't want my hard-earned cash to let go just like that.



Fast forward to today,  in every trip I always avail of health insurance for my peace of mind.  This is not just for myself but also for my family. I don't want to be a liability to them in any way. Even if it is a local trip,  I think this is one of the best things I can do for myself. Of course, this does not mean I will be careless enough to be in situations that I will regret after. I still cross my fingers and pray that I won't use my travel insurance at all!
