Thanks you're right the "permanent resident location" has been raised by the companies she has tried so far. However in the FAQ section of world nomads' website it has this - "Do I have to start and finish my trip in my country of residence?
No. You can start and finish your trip pretty much anywhere. This is one of the reasons World Nomads policies are different from those of other travel insurance companies. We have designed them specifically to the needs of such travellers."
