No Internet, No Problem

I realized that I no longer need to turn on mobile roaming or to buy a local sim so that I can access the internet when I’m abroad.

The free internet at the hotel, coffee shops, restaurants, and public areas are enough so I can be connected.

You don’t have to be connected every time. You don’t have to post all your travel activities real time. You don’t have to give live updates or tweets.

You can do all these later when you’re back at the hotel or have a quick check during lunch or dinner if they provide free internet.

Spend the time getting lost. Take a few photos and take more time to discover instead.

Use offline maps. Ask for directions. Talk to strangers. Stop and smell the flowers… and the food.

Internet can wait.
