Why there is no health insurance for digital nomads (yet)

As a digital nomad, you enjoy a variety of freedoms that stationary citizens can only dream of. On a daily basis you are able to decide where, how and also with whom you want to spend your life. Should you stay another night in Hanoi, or do you take the next train heading South?

However, these freedoms often come with a cost: Health insurance. Most international health insurance plans only cover emergencies, or their premiums skyrocket once you reach a certain age. Therefore, many nomads remain dependent on the public health insurance of their origin country and will need to return for medical treatments regularly.

It does not have to be like that. Let me walk you through the topic and help you find the ideal solution.
While there is still no perfect one-size-fits-all coverage available on the market there are still good concepts to set up your health insurance globally for long-term location independent lifestyle.
