Hi everyone, as the CEO & a co-founder of Insured Nomads, along with our team (fully remote and globally distributed) it is exciting to get to introduce to you: World Explorer. Having worked/lived across five continents as single, married, then with children, and coming into this with a background in the banking and the insurance industry it is truly a work of love and compassion to build ways to protect the globally mobile. What is the difference? Everything. We all want proactive, self curated solutions. We have built that for you. The traditional approach is reactive and fully claim based. We have built solutions that provide a frictionless, high value, customer/member oriented productized-service in an advanced tech-enabled delivery. API's for our distribution partners for easy enrollment/purchasing which is not done in our space as well. We have re-engineered the design and delivery. Medical limits the amount you desire, from $250,000 to $2,000,000 with deductibles from $0 to $500. No more antiquated systems of a PDF id card attached to an email, you get a member id card that is in your Apple/Android Wallet, and native app (iOS/Android) for access to member benefits. The insured portion is backed by HDI Specialty (A+ rating, S&P and A rating AM Best) and provided/administered by Point Comfort Underwriters. The crisis response in the INC membership is backed by AXA XL. Imagine the world where remote work is here to stay. Geo-positioning tools that envelop you in protection. Artificial intelligence that updates you in changes in protocols. Protection and support has never been more important and smart protection is a must. We protect you, families and your employees in a self-curated environment. You deserve more when it comes to insurance for your time outside your passport country. When you get World Explorer, you enter an unprecedented membership community of insurance protection integrated with traveltech/fintech services for a smart solution for the global work revolution and adventurer. Later this month we will be announcing how payment can be made with crypto currency for World Explorer. "Progress is always the function of increased cooperation." ~ Melvin Airhart It is through collaboration with our you, members, partners, and our investors that we can provide what the world needs. More enhancements are in the works. Share with us your ideas.

@jernigan This is awesome! Digital nomads need insurance for sure! This is what the next generation of remote workers need! 👍
Collin Thompson
@jernigan I know I want proactive, self curated solutions and I've talked to alot of freelancers, digital nomads and agency principals over the years and this is something that we've all been desperate for. I'm so happy that someone with in depth understanding of this lifestyle has taken the time to build something so useful. Hook me up with those APIs looks fantastic!
Andrew Jernigan
@techronin Collin, great news. We will follow up with you on getting a partnership going and APIs to you. 2022 is the year for Intrepid & Insured Nomads
Shaina Shiwarski
@jernigan - It's awesome what you and the team are building. We would love to chat about a potential partnership. We are building a social network for the everyday explorers and would appreciate the opportunity to share more about what we're working on and see how we could potentially help support each other as we're focusing on a similar demographic. Let me know if you'd be open to connecting.

I truly believe that Insured Nomads is one of the most important products built for the 2020s. As people travel more and have more flexibility in their jobs, they need protection as strong as their lust for traveling. With Insured Nomads, all customers get key benefits like: 🏥 Omni-platform care: healthcare provided to you in person, over the internet or via phone or video. 🛡️ Secure from cyber risk: protecting you with a personal VPN, antivirus, and malware protection, + 🚨 Crisis assistance, response & evacuation(CARE): instant response from our alarm centers. ❤️‍🩹 Caring for your well-being: unlimited mental health therapist sessions over the internet or via phone or video. 📲 Phone protection plan: Your device (new or used) protected against costly damages, breakdown and theft. 🛬 Flight Delay: Rest in airport lounges, and assistance with compensation due from the airline. I am thrilled to help launch this to the world and hope you see the value in this company that I do.

I’m so impressed with the innovation Insured Nomads continues to portray in the travel, digital nomad, and remote work space. I can highly recommend their services and this is another great product. Well done, IN team!
Andrew Jernigan
@chase_warrington Thanks so much Chase! It's so good to be able to work with you, to learn from you. 2022 is a great new year!
Interesting - curious about which country is counted as "residence" for the insurance purposes as Digital Nomads will often be going from one place to the next. Are you still assuming some kind of "home" country? PS Congrats on the launch!
Andrew Jernigan
@maxwellcdavis Maxwell, thank you! Residence does not have to be a permanent location and coverage is generally global for the location-independent as you referenced. It's essential to be able to provide flexibility in this type of policy. No need to let us know all the places one will go as it doesn't change the price either.

I cannot stress enough, how valuable this product is: Insured Nomads provides a service to a growing group of people, ties directly into the digital nomad movement, into the new work movement and enables global mobility. That said - it is not just an amazing market fit, it is an incredible effort undertaken to actually make it work, both from an administrative and a technical side. The team of Insured Nomads continues to impress me on so many levels - it is great to see them succeed here as well!
Juliana Jernigan
Jürgen and David, you and the team at Relocate are doing great things for the globally mobile: digital nomad, expat, location independent. We are zealous about our partnership. Thanks @jurgen_pretsch
Saurav Arya
As a nomad, it has always been a pain to find an insurance which provides global coverage and offers best value for money. Not anymore. Thanks Andrew for bringing this product to life.
Roy Rodenstein
Having lived in and traveled to many countries, a simple service like this is a great solution, for myself and also employees hired or traveling abroad. Great job Insured Nomads team!
Sam Parr
Love what @jernigan @julianajernigan are making. Had this problem last year when traveling. Am traveling again next year and will be signing up. Excited to see how this business grows. Big fan!
Juliana Jernigan
Thanks so much Sam! Grateful for you! @thesamparr

Brutal to see how the price changes when you enter your age (hint, it's much higher than the pre-filled 18!)
Andrew Jernigan
@aris_alexis Yes, age does affect health risk quite a bit sadly. We've built it so that location does not change the pricing. You can have a higher deductible lowering the pricing as well since many don't get ill/injured but need to transfer major risk more than the small incidences.

The world has changed, and Insured Nomads is there for the modern workforce and traveler. More of the world is moving towards a flexible, remote-first, global mindset and making that easy is what Insured Nomad's does by covering some of your insurance needs. While everyone is excited to travel, there are certain requirements and restrictions each country has in place today due to the covid-19 pandemic. About 20 countries mandate travel insurance before allowing you to enter the country. Peanut's partnership with Insured Nomads allows travelers to quickly see which countries require insurance, what the coverage amounts are and then to get covered on Insured Nomads' website. We partnered with Insured Nomads to help travelers get covered so they can get on with their vacation. Our integration is incredibly frictionless: simply browse common travel websites like Expedia, Booking.com or Google Flights -- and for the countries that require travel insurance (like Singapore, Argentina, Israel, etc.) Peanut will let you know, and you can then get covered on Insured Nomads to carry on with your trip.

Scott McKeon
This is something I wish I had access to for my travel and remote-working. My team creates hardware products for digital nomads and remote workers, so this is something I definitely want. On top of the fit-for-purpose coverage giving peace of mind, it is great to see more and more delights / benefits that make transit, travel and remote living more enjoyable. Will DEFINITELY be using for my next trip. Well done team! 🎉
Sven Radavics
@scottmckeon1 Insured Nomads and Espresso displays are my top recommendations to all my nomadic friends
Andrew Jernigan
Scott, thank you. One of our next releases will be a protection plan that will cover Espresso https://espres.so/, the 2022 product for remote working and those on the go in remote work. @scottmckeon1

Great product, something I hadn’t really thought of but is clearly important as more people move to nomad digital work - well done!
