When you are working abroad, whether as a missionary, a nanny, or a student, you should check on travel insurance. Standard travel insurance covers any emergency medical expenses, personal accident, personal liability including a rented accommodation, theft, or damage to your bags. Due to the specifics of working outside of your home country with the duration of your stay over 6 months and where the possibility of acquiring the assistance from locals is limited you should rethink your travel insurance needs.
Some of the most popular programs that would require you to travel overseas are the Peace Corps, doing missionary work, working as an Au pair for a family that is either visiting or living aboard, and a student exchange. The Peace Corps and missionary work is similar with the main difference being that missionary work can come from many churches. Both require you to work with underprivileged people, some in the third-world countries. Working as an Au pair is a fancy name for a nanny. Working at this job, you will be responsible for taking care of the children, making sure that they eat on time, take a bath, and go to bed on time. They are also responsible in making sure that the children are entertained when not in school.
Working at any of these jobs comes with some risks. One of the main risks is your health, especially if you are in the Peace Corps or working as a missionary. Some of the places where you will be working at have no running water, or bathroom facilities, and they live in houses with a dirt floor. Working in these conditions you can get malaria or ill from bacteria-infected water or food. You need to make sure that you have an adequate health insurance to cover the diseases you might get. Working as an Au Pair, you should also have a health insurance policy to cover any accidents, illnesses or personal liability. Be warned that certain insurance companies will have a limited coverage for people involved in such types of program so be advised to check out what kind of benefits you will receive from them.
