The United States is a popular destination for Australians. From the forests of California to the moonscape deserts of Utah, and the buzz of New York City to the alpine tundra of Alaska, the United States is a wild destination with plenty on offer. Though, they do have one of the most expensive healthcare systems in the world should something go wrong – which is why it’s a good idea to consider getting travel insurance. We can help with that.
