Before any trip abroad, two things make all the difference: being connected from the moment you land and being able to pay without high fees or blocked cards. At Viajeterapia we accompany hundreds of travelers every year, and these are the two recommendations we always repeat: a Holafly eSIM for internet and the Global66 multi-currency card for payments.
Travel eSIM: internet from the very first minute
An eSIM is a digital SIM card that you activate directly on your phone, without swapping the physical chip or going to a store. As soon as you land at your destination you have mobile data and internet, without paying for roaming or relying on hotel WiFi. It's perfect for using maps, the translator, WhatsApp and sharing your trip at any time.
The eSIM we recommend is Holafly: you activate it before you leave, it works in dozens of countries and you can forget about surprises on your carrier's bill. When you buy it, use our discount code ASITRIPUK to get a special price.
Why bring an eSIM on your trip?
Because it keeps you connected from the very first minute, without swapping chips or looking for a local store, with no roaming or unexpected charges, and with your maps, translator and messaging working throughout the trip. On a group trip it's even more useful: it keeps you in touch with the guide and the rest of the group at all times.
Global66 card: pay abroad without high fees
Abroad, it's very common for cards to get blocked for security reasons, and being left without a way to pay in the middle of your trip is one of the worst things that can happen. That's why we recommend always carrying a backup card: Global66.
Global66 is a multi-currency account and card that you top up in your own currency and use from your wallet, with exchange rates much lower than your bank's. You download it before you travel, get it set up and carry it as a safe backup. When you sign up, use the code CATQUE9.
Why use Global66 when traveling?
Because it's a backup multi-currency card you always have with you, with lower fees than your bank's when paying or withdrawing abroad, and it keeps you from being unable to pay if your main card gets blocked. It's the perfect complement to the eSIM: one keeps you connected and the other keeps you able to pay, no matter what.
