Happy Spring

Now that spring is here, the weather is warmer and the days are longer. That means that many of us will be outdoors, enjoying sports and outdoor activities. However, some sports and activities also have their risks. Sometimes, no matter how careful we are, injuries still occur. It's good to keep in mind the type of injuries that will be covered by the travel insurance that au pairs have. High risk sports such as sky diving, scuba diving, and bungee jumping are not covered by your insurance. Au pairs who are injured while participating in these sports will be responsible for any doctor bills that result. Sports competitions, such as marathons, are also not covered. So get out there and get some exercise! But it's probably wise to avoid risky activities that might result in injuries that are not covered by your insurance.

Au pairs who applied though an STS office should call 1.800.871.9211 with questions about coverage.
