replying to @AndreaFeczko @AndreaFeczko @AllianzTravelUS Yes @AllianzTravelUs covers world wide, at least we've claimed in China, India, and Vietnam and they've been great. I have to admit I also thought of them when I (almost) ran into a cobra in Africa. #travelskills #travelhappy

A7: Camping all the way! You need to rough it out to be more in tune with nature! I feel like glamping takes away some of the experience with nature, since you have more amenities. #TravelSkills

~90% of adventure travel is considered soft travel (walking, kayaking, horseback riding, biking), but high-risk activities like skydiving will disqualify you from travel insurance benefits. More from @AllianzTravelUS here: https://t.co/YGy3mVXPZE #TravelSkills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet A7. There are times when both are OK I think. You're not going to have a really wild experience glamping but sometimes you might want a bit of luxury. For us it would be camping. We wouldn't be able to afford glamping šĀ #TravelSkills

replying to @Heather_Poole @Heather_Poole Street performers/ hustlers/ con artists often know whom to target specifically or make an effort to go after certain profiles. In Italy Iāve had 2 street hustlers fighting each other for the right to attempt to approach and con me. It was slightly funny actually. #TravelSkills
