Curling Travel Insurance

What is Curling?

Curling is a team sport played on ice where players slide stones towards a target area segmented into four concentric circles. It is known for its strategic depth and precision, often referred to as "chess on ice." Curling is popular in many countries, especially in Canada, the UK, and Scandinavia.
