Unexpected Incident While Traveling That Will Cost You Dearly
Unexpected Incident While Traveling That Will Cost You Dearly
Here is a real unexpected incident while traveling that will cost you dearly. This is a real life story, from our travel experience.
Back in 2023, Rachel and I travelled to Peru for her sister’s wedding. We spent two weeks in Peru and one week in Cusco. Cusco is located high in the Andes mountains, that serves as the capital of the Inca Empire and is now a major hub for travellers who plan to travel to Machu Pichu.
It was our dream to visit Machu Picchu as it is one of the seven wonders in the world. Cusco is known for its high altitude, and it is generally safe for many travellers.
On our first day in Cusco, one of our friends fell sick and was hospitalised. We were informed that he feel sick due to a lack of oxygen (high altitude sickness). He was hospitalised for one night and it cost him – it was around US$ 1000 per night. He felt better after one night of stay in the hospital but it was an expensive lesson.
This experience taught him the importance of being prepared, so he now always buys a travel protection plan to make sure his journey is protected.
Sometimes, we may not be able to avoid unfortunate incidents, but the high hospital fee can be claimed if we purchase travel protection.
