Special Links Katelyn Jarvis \u2026 Giving Back In West Point\xa0 Katelyn Jarvis has traveled to 150 countries Katelyn is one of many who has been on my radar screen for some time as we passed each other like two ships during the night on FB.\xa0 I finally got to meet Katelyn in person at the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Yerevan and then learned more about her when she was nominated for the Nomad Mania Awards.\xa0 So I thought now would be a great time to set up an interview and learn more about her travels.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 \xa0 I was curious to learn more about Katelyn\u2019s philanthropy and how she combined that with her travels.\xa0 During our conversation, I was impressed to learn more about her efforts with her organization, Peace Stamps.\xa0 I believe anyone Chasing 193 is an impressive person, when you are able to marry that with something even more meaningful, even better.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 \xa0 This is a reminder that I am partnering with SafetyWing, a travel insurance company.\xa0 I have been using them personally for over 2 years.\xa0 And yes, there are a couple of reasons why \u2026 let me highlight a couple of the features.\xa0 First, you can purchase insurance while you are already on the go.\xa0 Some insurance products force you to sign up only when you are in your home country.\xa0 Second, you only have to share your initial country on your trip.\xa0 Many times on some of my open ended trips, I end up adding in additional countries.\xa0 I don\u2019t have to worry about forgetting to update SafetyWing.\xa0 They have me covered.\xa0 Third, most countries are covered.\xa0 Exceptions are Cuba, Iran, DPRK, Syria, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.\xa0 Everywhere else is covered from Mogadishu to Tripoli.\xa0 And fourth, you do not have to declare a dollar value for the trip.\xa0 Some other providers force you to list the dollar value of your trip.\xa0 I really can\u2019t think of ay trips I have taken where I am able to calculate the trips costs for one or two months.\xa0 To me, this insurance is fire and forgot.\xa0 It will renew every month or you can set an end date.\xa0 But compared to many of the other products out there, this one to me is the most flexible.\xa0 So, take a moment, check out SafetyWing, and click on the link to sign up for your next trip.\xa0\xa0 I would like to thank everyone for their support of Counting Countries, especially my Patrons:\xa0 Lucy Shoe, Phillip Jones, Simen Flotvik Mathisen, Ted Nims, Bisa Myles, Thor Pedersen, Adam Hickman, Ed Hotchkiss, and Barry Hoffner for supporting this podcast.
