What’s the best way to insure items while traveling? (alien.top)

I’ve been on the road for +2 years and I’m starting to wonder if I should insure my big ticket items (computer, camera, expensive jewelry, etc).

I know some home and rental insurance policies in the US cover these items, but as a full-time traveler, I’m not sure I qualify for these plans.

Is there a certain insurance product that covers these items? I know tracker insurance covers these items during transit, but I’m looking for something to insure these items full-time.

Thanks for all the help!

Safetywing.com recently announced they will be offering coverage options for this and some other things like "extreme" sports.

Thanks! I’ve heard mixed reviews of safetywing, but I’ll take a look.

I've used them since 2020 and never had any issues, but I've also never needed to file a claim ... so.

Some people also like to complain about Airbnb, which I've used for several years with nothing but good experiences.
