In the UK, you can rely on the NHS for medical attention and consultation.
However, no matter your age, sex or activity, you are taking risks in a foreign country when going abroad.
A holiday is when you relax and enjoy yourself away from home, maybe in a new country.
Many travelers leave the country of the holiday with a lot of great memories, new friends, experiences, photos and the odd souvenir or two.
Some travelers are less fortunate.
I had the experience a few years back of looking for a travel insurance policy, but I did not complete the process.

When I was young, should I desire anything, it was, “there is no money, too expensive, not a priority” and similar responses.
Nothing was “for free”! You either went and helped to milk the cows, feed the chickens, clean your room, or, you did not get that “chocolate / record’ you had set your eyes on.
It is amazing as to how many people, or should I say adult kids, are still living with Mom and Dad, or had moved back in, as they could not “survive” out in the big world on their own.
