International Medical Insurance
One of the most important things to arrange when you're travelling overseas, even more important than booking your flight and making sure you've packed clean underwear, is getting international medical insurance to cover your ass if you fall ill.
Think about it: you land in some far flung airport thousands of miles from home, and you slip and fall on the street. You break your leg, and get taken to hospital. But wait! You decided not to bother with international medical insurance and the cost of setting your leg, prescribing the pain pills and, well, crutch rental comes to thousands of dollars - thousands of dollars that you can't afford.
Obviously nobody can predict when they're going to get sick. Bearing that in mind, there can be nothing more vital than picking up a comprehensive insurance policy before going overseas. It just makes sense.
