While you’re away it’s important to stay into with folks back home. Family, friends, a girlfriend/boyfriend all will want to touch base from time to time and check in on their little darling/homie/lover. It is crucial for them to download an amazing app call WhatsApp!

Totally free and usually pretty reliable in terms on signal. I can purchase the smallest internet package (25 MBs) for 24 hours using my phone and call whoever I want for as long as I want! If you use the regular modem that PC gives you these calls will eat up your data so fast BUT if you buy these internet packages and use them instead you can hit your limit of 25MBs and continue to talk because... WHO CARES?! It kind of feels like stealing but hey we’re all good samaritans, right?

Happy trails!
