ALGIERS
When travelling across North Africa I made sure that I had the Travel Insurance that I needed. Travelling here in Algeria was no exception as there were many dangers here also..
When formulating my trip through Western Europe and North Africa I made sure that the Travel Insurance that I had taken out was what I needed ..This was for all my accident,medical, and Hospital expenses, Theft and the most important repatriation..We all know of the horrendous cost involved in hospital care and of course the worst scenario.
Travelling is fun and it is hard to think of having an accident but ,...anywhere ...anytime...
I really like to travel with peace of mind and Travel Insurance gives me that. As they say:
DONT LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!!!

Although it is not a very very big problems, you have to be carefull with your belongings in crowded places and slow running traffic. Never carry too many valuables with you. If you will talk with you mobile in a slow traffic, close your window as they may try to take your mobile phone while you are talking.
