TWO TRAVEL ESSENTIALS
My Price/Benefits Analysis of Travel InsuranceI have never, ever traveled out side the country without travel insurance. As you can read here, I’m proof that travel insurance is worth it! My price and benefits comparison shows that World Nomads is the best deal in most situations. Public WiFi Safety
Hotel WiFi, coffee shop WiFi… they are all public and without a VPN you can have your identity stolen and your accounts hacked. I use StrongVPN when going on public WiFi to do anything financial. StrongVPN also allows me to watch Netflix when I’m out of the country and get around WiFi firewalls in countries that have them. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
