Joanna and I found our travel insurance plan through Squaremouth, a site that compares plans from different insurers side by side. If you have a health condition, read each plan's rules on pre-existing conditions before you buy. I'm not a licensed insurance agent. Affiliate link.
I also wrote a guide to the types of travel insurance, including Cancel For Any Reason and pre-existing condition waivers.
