Thank you Nicole Pajer for including me in your Huffington Post article on TRAVEL: “The Common Pieces Of Travel Advice You Should Actually Ignore

“One piece of advice you should ignore is people who say you do not need travel insurance. You do when something goes wrong,” said Lisa Niver, a travel expert and author of “Brave-ish: One Break-up, Six Continents and Feeling Fearless After Fifty.” “I have been in a hurricane on a ship, my cruise company went bankrupt seven days after Sept. 11, medical emergencies, dive accidents. Trust me get travel insurance!”

This month included Rosh Hashannah, Yom Kippur, my birthday and Sukkot. Most of these times I focus on joy and thinking about my goals in the new year. However, it was also the one year anniversary of the horrific attacks on Israel on Oct 7, 2023, and there are still 101 hostages in hell after being taken by Hamas. Please join me in praying every day that they will soon return.
