I've been looking for ways to make international travel a little less stressful, especially when it comes to staying connected after landing.

Recently came across Eterna eSIM, which seems like a handy option for having mobile data ready before arriving at a destination, without needing to hunt for a local SIM at the airport.

For frequent flyers here, what tools or apps do you usually rely on when travelling overseas? Do you prefer travel eSIMs like Eterna, local SIM cards, or roaming plans?

Would love to hear your recommendations and travel hacks!

Hi! welcome to AFF, I use the Airalo annual global sim,. Wise for payments outside of Bank West and Amex Brilliant international fee free cards. And transport apps Bolt/Grab/Uber. That all seems to cover most things for me.
