Friday the 13th with Arch RoamRight
What's the proper greeting for Friday the 13th? "Watch out"? "Best of luck"? "Knock on wood"? In any case, we hope your karmic shield is impermeable today and that you don't encounter any ladders or black cats, especially if you're traveling. Though bad luck can strike anywhere, it's especially gutting when it affects a trip - no one wants to come back from vacation with intimate knowledge of the local hospital or on a first-name basis with the polizia. They say misfortune is when lack of preparation meets reality, and at Local Foreigner, we handle the preparation part to an obsessive degree. But sometimes reality comes out on top, and when that happens, we're all thankful for Arch RoamRight, who have a knack for turning bad luck into "thank goodness." In the spirit of the day, head to our stories for some real-life examples of situations where RoamRight has saved the day. #wemaketravelbetter, but when there's a situation beyond our control, travel insurance may help.
