Travel insurance is required. We have made agreements with a world-class travel insurance company called World Nomads. You can receive Covid Cancellation coverage, stolen baggage coverage, medical coverage, and more. Whether you purchase travel insurance through our recommendation or purchase your own we require all our travelers to obtain travel insurance.

Yes, we will have local medical facilities and doctors available, if needed. However, you are responsible for protecting your own well-being and personal property before, during, and after the trip. This includes ensuring any and all vaccinations, inoculations, or prescribed medications are taken as directed by your local doctor and/or travel clinic for the areas visited.

Not every country we visit requires a visa, but for those that do you will need:

• Valid passport for at least 6 months
• Yellow fever vaccination (if the country requires it)
• Two valid passport size photos
• Where we’ll be staying (we will provide)
• Host letter (we will provide)
• Trip itinerary (we will provide)

All trips are double occupancy. You have the option of a single occupancy upgrade to have a private room. Otherwise, you will be paired with a roommate (you’re welcome to choose your roommate as well).

Depending on which country we’re visiting, you will have a list of recommended shots and vaccinations from your doctor. However, the main required vaccination, in many of the countries we’re visiting, is yellow fever. Here is a list of places you can get your yellow fever shot. You can get this from your general physician or you can visit these options below:

1. http://www.passporthealthusa.com/vaccinations/yellow-fever/
2. https://www.globaltraveler.com/yellow-fever-vaccinations/
3. http://www.travelersmedical.com/yellowfever.htm

Find a local clinic in your area to get it done.

Malaria pills can and should be taken to prevent malaria. Malaria is like getting the flu in the United States. It is something that can be serious, just like the flu. However, most don’t contract it, especially with preventative measures. You need to start taking malaria pills 1 week before you leave, the whole time you’re in-country and then a few days upon return. You can get the pills from multiple locations, including online. The pills are called artemisinin.

These particular pills have been personally tested, have nutritional value, and no side effects – Artemisinin

Everyone has their preference of what pill they prefer but you need to be preventative.. The worst thing to do in this case is to do nothing.

You are given the option to pay in full or in smaller monthly installments by credit card or e-check.

All workouts and dance sessions are highly suggested but NOT mandatory.

Buying Purchase Protection at time of checkout is OPTIONAL. However  we strongly suggest it because when you buy Purchase Protection, you can be reimbursed if  you are unable to attend the trip unexpectedly due to health reasons or something else urgent. Read more about purchase protection here. Please note that purchasing travel insurance is still mandatory to come on the trip. Travel Insurance is separate from Payment Protection. The difference is that payment protection covers your trip if you can’t attend. Travel Insurance covers your expenses ( medical,damage, theft, etc) while you’re in country

There are NO REFUNDS. However, In the rare event that it becomes necessary to cancel the trip for reasons beyond our control, such as pandemic restrictions, terrorism, strikes, acts of governments, weather, etc. we will reschedule or cancel the trip and you will automatically receive 100% trip credit. If you purchase “purchase protection” on your trip through our payment processor when you put down your deposit if you have to cancel for any reason you submit a claim and once it’s approved, our processing company will provide you a refund

In the event that we need to cancel or postpone any trip because of COVID restrictions or regulations Guests with existing bookings will receive full credit of the price paid towards the newly scheduled trip, or any other trip of choice. If none of those options are suitable for the traveler, a full refund of the trip will be granted without cancellation penalty or fee.
