Do you often think about where you can travel in the winter? Are you looking for warm weather and sun but don't want to travel across the globe? One of the destinations I frequently recommend to clients looking to travel somewhere warm between November and April (but not travel very far) is Costa Rica! This tiny country has so much natural beauty, warm people, beautiful rain forests, volcanoes, beaches, and so much more.

You plan a vacation you've been dreaming about for quite some time and you think... why would I need travel insurance? You're young, healthy, and there is nothing that will make you cancel this trip. Think again... Once a client's itinerary is finalized I always send a proposal for travel insurance. It's not mandatory that they purchase it but highly recommended. Most people think travel insurance is only to to be used in case you want to cancel your trip (and no one ever wants to cancel their trip!).
