How This Digital Nomad Saved Thousands of Euros with the Right Health Insurance
A true story about how the right health insurance decision prevented financial stress—with support from Beakon Global.
The Background: Meet Lukas, the Digital Nomad
Lukas, 31, is a web designer who has been a full-time digital nomad for three years. He enjoys the freedom of working from anywhere, traveling between Southeast Asia, Europe, and South America. He’s living the dream: working and exploring the world without boundaries.
At the start of his nomadic journey, Lukas underestimated the importance of comprehensive international health insurance. He relied on basic travel insurance, thinking, “Why pay more when I’m healthy and rarely sick?” and “I’ll cover small costs myself; treatments are cheap anyway.”
But then, something happened that changed everything.
The Incident: An Accident in Thailand
While staying on Koh Samui, Thailand, Lukas spent a day at the beach playing volleyball. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL during a game and required immediate medical attention due to severe pain.
He was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors recommended surgery to treat the injury. That’s when Lukas faced significant challenges:
The Costs: The private hospital quoted $9,000 for the surgery and follow-up care.
The Coverage: His basic travel insurance only covered up to $2,000 for emergencies and excluded long-term rehabilitation.
The Uncertainty: Lukas had no one to guide him on the next steps or navigate the situation.
Lukas was left with a tough decision: “Should I pay for the treatment myself or return home for care?”
The Solution: A Better Insurance Plan with Beakon Global
After this costly experience, Lukas realized he needed a tailored health insurance plan to suit his lifestyle. On a friend’s recommendation, he reached out to Beakon Global.
Beakon Global:

✅ Compared multiple international insurance options to find a plan perfectly suited to his situation.
✅ Selected a policy offering:
Global coverage (including Southeast Asia)
Freedom to choose doctors and hospitals
Comprehensive coverage for inpatient and outpatient treatments
Inclusion of routine check-ups and rehabilitation
The Cost: Although the plan was slightly more expensive than his previous travel insurance, the level of coverage was incomparable.
The Next Incident: Lukas Was Ready
A year later, Lukas developed pneumonia while in Mexico. This time, he was prepared with his new insurance:
He visited a private hospital where he received excellent care.
The $6,500 medical bill was fully covered by his insurance.
Thanks to his free doctor choice, he selected the best available medical facility.
Lukas’s Conclusion:
"Without the right insurance, I would have had to pay that amount myself. With Beakon Global supporting me, everything was simple—I could focus on recovering instead of worrying about money."
