Hey ! It's great that you're planning ahead. One key thing to consider is medical coverage, especially if you're going to be in remote areas. Also, see if the policy covers emergency evacuation.

Absolutely. And don't forget to check for coverage on personal belongings. Backpacking often means carrying valuables like cameras and passports, which can be at risk.

Thanks for the input! Do you think policies that cover trip cancellation are worth it? I'm trying to keep my budget tight.

It can be a good idea. Europe's weather can be unpredictable, and trip cancellations can be costly. Better safe than sorry!

It's crucial to balance cost with comprehensive coverage. I suggest checking out a comparison site for backpacker-specific travel insurance options.
