Russia Travel Insurance News

Due to the rising political tension between Moscow and many Western nations, Britain has already released a travel advisory warning its citizens about the possibility of anti-UK sentiment and harassment.

Michael Geller, a planner, and architect from Vancouver has worked and travelled in Russia on and off for the past four years. Geller admitted he will be using his Canadian passport and not his British one for his next trip and he is not afraid of any anti-Western backlash from citizens and working professionals.

Geller advised others to ignore the news because none of that will impact their stay in Russia.
