Want a quick summary of who I used?
Obvious important item on the list was suitable insurance to cover medical emergencies and with my recently acquired insulin pump medical equipment cover.
First port of call was a Google search and some quick quotes, not forgetting your medical screening to be sure your diabetes is covered. This resulted in quotes ranging from £400-1000 for a year per person.
What is not clear from these quotes is your medical equipment cover, all well and good getting access to insulin but I'm not going back to the 1970s using syringes!
December last year Kinga and I decided we needed a shift in our lives and to take a year out backpacking around Asia.
