We provide some great free tools to get started learning online and provide an overview of the episodes we're about to release in response to changes to super and government initiatives for small businesses and many more. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast. Hello and welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast. I have a very special co-host with me, Kate. How are you going?
Good, thanks, Owen. I'm back and I never actually ended up leaving the country. So my holiday changed quite a bit and now I'm holidaying inside my house. So that's a different turn of events.
Right, so most of the listeners will be familiar with your holiday plans. You had planned to go to Europe for quite a long time and now you're back home. So what actually happened? Did you get to the airport or how did this come to be?
So I was due to leave on Friday the 13th and on the Thursday morning before that, That was when it was declared a global pandemic, the COVID-19. So when I saw that, when I woke up, I thought, yeah, I better not go. So cancelled the flight. So contests were actually really good and full refund because it was 24 hours ahead and managed to get refunds for most things, which was nice. I hadn't booked too much. And so now I'm having a holiday in my house. So I guess they say, be careful what you wish for. I wanted a holiday. I just, I'm getting it. Not in Scotland, which is sad.
So did you have travel insurance or did just everything refund you? Did everyone refund you?
I had travel insurance, but I had actually only got travel insurance for the medical side of things. So I didn't. after a lot of research, I decided the travel insurance for tickets and stuff wasn't really worth it. Um, who knows given the circumstances, but yeah, I mean, I didn't get the travel insurance refunded. Um, and the airline was really good. Um, all the hostels, they 24 hour advance cancellation using hostel world, which was good.
