Travel insurance is very important because things happen; you can become sick over there, you may miss your flight....
If you paid your first payment more than 2 weeks ago, getting “cancel for any reason” like family issues or work will be unlikely. Same with coverage for preexisting conditions. I use http://www.insuremytrip.com for travel insurance and https://www.geobluetravelinsurance.com for med/evac. Much cheaper and less complicated that way for me (with a preexisting condition) than trying to cover it all with one policy. I use the premium rental insurance available on my Amex card for car rentals - just $20/rental for better insurance than I can find anywhere. Read the fine print very carefully, call if you have any questions before buying a policy. I get the highest med/evac ($1,000,000/500,000) available with a low deductible because it’s very inexpensive - there are 2 policy choices at GeoBlue, use the one best for your circumstance. Travel insurance is very expensive and not something I always buy. Only cover things that will be paid before you go and are not refundable. ALWAYS buy med/eva
Use an EPA-registered insect repellent. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Treat clothing and gear with permethrin. Keep mosquitoes out of your hotel room or lodging. Sleep under a mosquito net.
