    I LOVE you guys. It’s not like asking my son, who feels it necessary to say, “Okay, Boomer…” when I ask for help. I have to answer him, “DUDE…I’m gonna be 63; it doesn’t come naturally!” So, thank you so much for explaining everything clearly, so that I’m less overwhelmed!
  • I’m not sure if this was mentioned but an agent at my cell carrier told me to always use airplane mode when using WhatsApp because if there is a drop in Wi-Fi, it may move into international calling mode so you don’t loose connection but then you get a bill by surprise later.
  • Just an add on. Maybe before leaving for trip, add some Uber cash (or other rideshare for that country) to account in case there is some mix up or issue with the credit card. this buys you time to correct the issue after you get to where you need to go. Recent experience of mine.

    Great job! Thank you very much!
  • Just great videos for traveling. Glad I found your channel!!!
  • We are headed to Europe for the first time since we left our duty station in Germany in 1989. It's a whole new world! I find your videos very helpful. I am not annoyed by the music and I don't think you talk to much. :)

    Great recommendations. Just saw this, and your other video on cellular international plans. Will definitely take advantage of your travel tips. Traveling in a week, so your channel showed up on my feed in the nick of time. Subscribed ! Thank YOU .
  • @reytravelto1205
    Thank you for the great tips on Apps. Will certainly make my trip to Europe much more stress-free.

    I have to add to your list. You definitely need your Global Health Insurance company app. I work for GeoBlue/BCBS Global and now, post-pandemic, I couldn't imagine seeking healthcare overseas without assistance. Many providers outside of the USA want to have guarantee of payment so you may have to hand over your credit card before you're seen. We (and others) can help avoid that by working with the providers on a direct basis. Individual trip policies are cheap. Your domestic plan might not be adequate.
