Choosing the Right Insurance for Travelling this Summer

We might be approaching the end of winter weather here in Canada, which means that hopefully there are less delays and cancellations on the horizon, but weather is just one example of the types of the unexpected scenarios that may arise and which a smart traveller is prepared for with insurance.
