Show Notes

In this episode of the Let’s Go Together podcast, host Julia Kent sits down with Trudy‑Ann Ritter, Manager of Travel Insurance & Learning Development at CAA Atlantic, to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of travel planning: travel insurance.
Many Atlantic Canadians don’t realize that even a quick trip across a provincial border - or a weekend away within Canada - can leave you vulnerable to major costs without the right coverage. Together, we break down what travel insurance actually covers, how advisory levels impact your protection, why credit card coverage may not be enough, and real‑world examples of how quickly medical bills can climb when you’re far from home.
Whether you’re planning a sunny escape, a cross‑Canada road trip, or welcoming visitors from abroad, this episode gives you the essentials to travel smarter and safer.
