Unmissable tips for anyone who wants to travel with kids for a longer period
Oh the dream... Long vacation... Six months away... A year... Maybe an even longer break with the whole bubs. To travel. Working remotely. And above all, a lot of making memories. Not very many people dream of this. And most of them never end up doing it. For various reasons, but the most important, all those obstacles in the way are of the practical kind. What do we do with school? Are we insured? Are we going to sublet? What if something happens in the Netherlands, can we just go back?
We admit that they are no small obstacles on that road. But where there's a will... Right. Unmissable tips for anyone who wants to travel far or for a longer period with kids.
Children, travel and school, a combination that probably causes a big mistake. Because indeed, what happens to children's compulsory education if they are away for a longer period? One option would be to teach your children yourself. And we understand that you are not a teacher, language is not your thing either Oh no, tinkering. But calm downEven without a sense of language, arithmetic or creativity, you can discover the world with the kids.
Check Traveling The Young Ones for example. Tes helps families with children of school age with travel plans. How does that work? Tes guides parents to prepare education together, of course all in consultation with the school. You can go there for everything. From the discussion of the plans and expectations, the time and guidance and materials. She provides guidance and personal advice, but she also has an e-book for some quick information. No suitcases full of school books, but also no lack of good education for the kids. So, that's one less bear on the way.
Insure, insure, insure; another error. A lot of insurers We do not insure you if you go abroad with your kids for a longer period of time. If you do not deregister in the Netherlands, you will keep your health insurance with worldwide coverage for emergency care. But then the problem immediately arises, what many people do not know is that the costs of, for example, treatment or medicines may not be higher than what it would cost in the Netherlands. You pay the rest yourself and in some countries these are high amounts.
But parents who pack their things to travel with children of school age often deregister in the Netherlands. This way you avoid compulsory education, but your right to health insurance also expires.
OOM Insurances has plenty of options for that, in fact that is one of their areas of expertise. For example, there is Temporary Residence Abroad Insurance for if you stay abroad for a maximum of two years.
And then that house in the Netherlands? You leave this behind if you stay abroad for a longer period of time. OOM comes to the rescue again here with the Leftover Home Insurance. If you deregister in the Netherlands, you can still insure your home and contents with this insurance.
Where to begin? So now at the beginning. And planning such a trip is probably a thousand times more fun, but insurance is a thousand times more important. Those dramatic holiday stories about unexpected high costs due to not being insured? It's not going to happen to you.
