Perched atop a hilltop with a spectacular ocean view, you can’t miss the small but gorgeous town of Taormina, halfway between Catania and Messina. I had the fortune of visiting Taormina twice on my trips to Sicily while living in Italy, and I love it so much that it’s easily in my top three places…

As a self-employed digital nomad since 2016, I’ve explored an exhausting number of travel insurance options to find one that works for me.

When I heard there was an out-of-the-way Thai island with relatively few visitors and Maldivian turquoise blue waters… I didn’t have to think twice.
