 The variety of holiday destinations and activities available to us grows each year. We can now travel to even further flung corners of the globe, and take part in everything from skiing, to white water rafting, to swimming with dolphins. And now there is a travel insurance product to cover you no matter what kind of trip you are planning.
The internet provides a wealth of information on this subject, allowing you to access even the most unusual of specialist travel insurance policies. The best rates are often found online and by using a handy price comparison website you can search for the cheapest deals very easily.
Among the most common policies available is annual travel insurance, which is sometimes referred to as multi-trip insurance. This insures policy holders for the period of one year, covering them for all of the trips they take during this one year period, and at a discounted rate.
If you do not require insurance for more than one foreign trip, then the cheapest and most popular insurance option is a one-trip policy. These policies can be |

 Not only can the internet can be a great place to find and book a cheap foreign holiday, but it can also be a great place to get cheap travel insurance too. So if you are looking to cut down the cost of your insurance bill, simply follow this handy step by step guide
It is a good idea to study some of the jargon used by travel insurance firms before you start looking, as this will give you a much better idea of what you need to look for in a policy, as well as the things that you feel that you can do without.
In order to make sure that you get the cover that you need, it is a good idea to set down exactly what you need from your holiday insurance, so that you can make sure that you get exactly that and no more or less from your insurance policy.
Many insurers will try to offer you additional features to their basic packages at what may seem like an amazing discount, but these features are rarely necessary, |

 Luxury holidays can be expensive at times, so you have to take that into consideration when planning for your trips. But you can still save if you plan well for your trip.
The first thing you need to do, is to devise clear goals. Going there to learn about the history and culture? Or you are traveling for leisure? There are many different goals. Spare a thought for your travel companions, and think about what they want. Tension can be avoided if you talk it over with your pals. Work on your traveling goals together.
The details become clearer once you get your goals down on paper. For instance, if you are traveling to Bali to golf, then focus more your golf plans. Find travel companions with similar goals. Are there any additional tools you need to bring along? Then figure out how much time you need for each activity. If you are going to golf, do you intend to do any business while you are golfing?
Having a range of activities will help prevent boredom. For example, on top of golfing, |

 Travelling the world with nothing more than a backpack full of clothes, a camera and a bucket-load of excitement is one of the most rewarding things you can do in your life. The people you meet, the memories you make and the things you learn about yourself and others will stay with you forever and youll come back a more rounded, content and mature individual.
Whether youre spending one month rallying around Europe or 12 months circumnavigating the globe, there are a few things to remember to do before and during your trip.
Before: No doubt youll be bungee jumping, sky-diving, white-water rafting, shark-cage diving and thats just in New Zealand, so insurance is crucial. Backpackers are one of the most at-risk group travellers out there so dont skimp and get the best protection you can afford.
Immunisations and anti-malarial medicine are crucial in parts of Africa, Asia and South America, so check with your doctor beforehand and dont even think about leaving the country unprepared.
Pack light and dont bother taking toiletries with you. Working on past experience, we always |

 Mountain biking is one of Britain's favourite sports and the majority of kids have a bike these days. UK cycling was the star of the Beijing Olympics, bringing Britain loads of silverware. The Tour de France and other events also have strong British contenders each year.
Taking this enthusiasm and planning a holiday around it is a natural progression, and mountain biking is becoming to summer what skiing is to the winter. It is a sport that can be taken up by pretty much anyone, and unlike skiing all you need to know is how to ride a bike. Every country is going to have some good mountain biking terrain.
For the dedicated enthusiast, or those who simply prefer to follow a sense of adventure, planning a mountain bike holiday from the bottom up can be a great experience. Numerous sources of information and advice will help construct a holiday that suits you down to the ground. Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and other travel books are always good, given that they have info on biking but also all the other aspects such as |

 Youre packed, but are you ready to go? Do you have absolutely everything that you will need for the next few months travelling around the globe? Here are a few things you really shouldnt forget.
When youre still in the planning stages of your trip you should get yourself comprehensive backpacker-specific insurance. Health and safety in many countries youll be visiting is your responsibility so make sure youre prepared for the worst.
You may only ever need plasters and painkillers, but you should still keep a first aid kit in your hand luggage, in case you are hit by something more damaging. Youre likely to suffer from Delhi-belly whilst youre away and not just in India either. Toilets and sanitation are likely to be unsanitary so keep re-hydration sachets and Imodium tablets to hand.
Whilst youre away youll no doubt take an immense amount of photographs, probably more than you can deal with and definitely more than you need. So instead of cropping and deleting too many while youre still on the road, periodically download them on to memory sticks and keep |

 Not many destinations, perhaps none, are beter places to scuba dive than the Philippines. And with good reason. A nation comprising of 7,107 islands in an archipelago with coastal waters in four distinct seas is well placed to provide a huge, rich variation of dives, and has dives suitable for all standards of diver, from the complete novice who has never seen a wetsuit in their life, to the experienced professional. The Philippines has over two million visitors annually, and it is unsurprising to those who know the place that many of these visitors come specifically to scuba dive.
Importantly, all Philippine dive activity is organised by the Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI). For first-timers, the full PADI Open Water Diver program can be completed in roughly four days, and will probably cost around US$300. Learners should always check the certification of the dive centre that they intend to take their course with. The adept should also check this out before diving: it is important to make sure their dive guide, should they be attempting a difficult dive in dangerous waters, is fully |

 Sky-Diving You havent fully grasped the whole backpacker experience if you havent thrown yourself out of a plane from at least 10,000ft after a trip to Australia or New Zealand.
Both countries offer numerous places to get extreme but one of the most beautiful is Airlie Beach in Queensland Australia. Although not as high as some places, the views over the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands more than make up for this.
Bungee Jumping: The ultimate thrill-seeker destination is New Zealand, Land of the Long White Cloud It is here that commercial bungee jumping was born and in Queenstown on South Island you can do the highest permanent bungee in the world, the Nevis.
Youll dive out of a cable car, precariously suspended over a ravine and fall for 8.5 seconds or 138 metres, and get frighteningly close to the riverbed below, before bouncing back up to relative safety.
Shark Dive: Staying in the southern hemisphere, in South Africa you can get up close and personal with the killing machines that is the Great White Shark. Although not exactly |
