STAY SAFE AND CONNECTED
There are always two things you want to be sure when you are far from your home country. If you want to be reachable and to be safe in case of any unpredictable situations.
Chances are that nothing bad will happen during your trip. But on the off chance it does you want to make sure you spend the least amount of money possible. So insurance might be a good idea, specially if you get a great deal.
SIM cards are also a must, in the EU for instance, roaming was made available. In most countries we can use the same package we personally use, but if you venture outside of the EU prices spike. Same probably goes for other countries around the world.
