I just watched 5 videos and feel so much better about my upcoming trip to Portugal. Thank you!!
You guys are awesome. We leave Sunday for 6 weeks of Europe. Your help has been wonderful. Just clicked back into your channel to get Surfshark through your link so you get some credit for us signing up as a "thank you" for all you have done. You are both natural TV voices and could do a live show like Rick Steve's. Since he is older now, there is a gap in the market for young blood like you all. Cheers, Scott and Jane.
Good share on Rick Steve's! His stuff is stellar!
This was super helpful. Some apps I’d never heard of. My hubs is very excited about the Rick Steve’s one. We’re big fans. Thanks!
The SBB Mobile app for the Swiss rail system was amazing and easy to use.
We are leaving in November for our open ended long term travel (retiring). This is very useful! Thanks!
Very nicely done video...carefully thought out practical advice and presented in a slow voice. Thank you.
Excellent! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. Great video and so much useful information.
TripIt saved us from missing our connecting flight in 2018. We bought tickets in Nov for travel in May. 3 weeks before our trip I heard of and downloaded TripIt. Within a few days, I got a notification that our flight time had changed. It turns out, our flight from Omaha to Newark was cancelled and we were rerouted thru Chicago. Unfortunately, our flight in to Chicago arrived 20 minutes AFTER our Aer Lingus connection left. I dont know if I would have caught that had it not been for the TripIt notification.
Check your emails?
Excellent pointers! Thanks
So glad I found you! Very helpful tips for a new overseas traveler
I can't agree more! It is helpful for tourists ~ By the way, I found that I can use code to get discounts on tickets on TRIP ~
Such an informative video! Thank you for providing this information. Holafly will make our lives so much easier.

In Asia, Grab and Get Your Guide were our favorites.
Love love Tripit……you can flights, trains, tours EVERYTHING!!!!
A great start! Keep up the good work!
Always looking to add apps to the range I travel with. Google Translate may be handy but “Say Hi” takes language translation to a new level. You can speak in English and have your phone read it back in the language you require. You can take pics of signs or menus and have them translated. Also “Rome to Rio” as an alternate to “City Mapper”. And lastly “Trip Advisor” particularly when planning your trip to get local advice. Cheers
If I am hanging around, I would say Trainpal covers a lot of transportation issues. You can also try it out!
Very useful and informative video
Due to my travels across multiple continents, the most important phrase I have learned in many languages:
"Thank you. That was delicious!" You're going to learn Thank You anyways so learn 'that was delicious.'
You be the friend of many food kiosks, restaurants, etc.
I love this. I am planning a trip to europe and this is very helpful
Ijust found a 5% off code for buying European train tickets on trainpal a few days ago ❤ just let me know if u need it
I love this thank you!! I’m terrified for my trip in May

Useful thanks 😊
thanks for this video! i will say that google maps may be great in the US and europe but it may not be the best for other parts of the world. for example, i've spent a considerable amount of time in south korea, and if you're there, naver maps is the way to go. another sk example--google translate is good for its sign translation capabilities but if you just want to look up specific words, you may want to use papago. and i think you may need to use a different e-sim app, as well. so definitely research the apps specific to the area you're visiting!
Thank you so much for the valuable tips. By the way, does Holafly support voice and SMS too, or it's just data? I'd like to be able to get a local number.
Thank you thank you thank you❤️🎊🎊❤️🎉🎉
Thanks!!
I use most of these. Adding a couple of your suggestions.
I like Transit as well, but alternate that with City Mapper. I like the interface on Transit better.
Do you use XE for currency conversion?
I'm new here, love the channel! Where's the black hoodie from?
Many good tips in this video. I just hope my phone works. We are going to London and Ireland in September. We were in France 3 years ago and my phone didn't work. I even bought a European sim card that said it would work in all of Europe. I did have an older phone back then. I have a Samsung A53 now. It is an unlocked phone, so maybe it will work.
Tipping is such a bizarre concept, and the fact that you'd need an app for it, just confirms that.
TRIPIT is OUTSTANDING! ♥♥♥♥♥
It's been my experience that google maps is spot on for distance. But not on time. Though I've mainly used it in the Washington, DC area.
This would’ve helped us last week when we spent 15 mins. trying to find colloseum tix at the door!
Wonderful video! Just to highlight, I think you have placed an incorrect app thumbnail for the 'Grab' app (9:58). The app to get a ride is not called 'Grab Driver', but it's called 'Grab'. 'Grab Driver' app is meant for 'Grab Drivers'. And the 'Grab' app is meant for passengers. Just
For the hollow fly, if I have a summer trip can I buy it now or should I wait until then??
Is that the Bluey music in the background?
Do international carriers (KLM) actually weigh BOTH the carry on roller AND the backpack? KLM site says combined weight for whatever you bring on is 26lbs
Holafly is fine if your phone supports e-sim.
If you have Verizon (like I do) you can either pay $10/day for International Service with a lot of caps and restrictions on data use, or you can pay for a whole month ($100) and get it all with unlimited data.
I wen tto Paris for 10 days and I realized that I'd pay $100 anyway so I may as well just get it for a month. They'll even drip the service after 30 days and you don't have to do anything.
(And, no. I'm not a fan of Verizon, it's just what I have).
I have moved from Verizon to TMobile. Heading to Japan with unlimited text and data (up to 500mbp?). Phone $.25/minute; however, using What'sApp or Message you don't have that charge if you have WiFi.
Be really careful when using google maps on south america and even in europe ( Paris for ex). The app does not take in consideration bad and dangerous neighborhoods and you can be quickly in trouble if you follow indications to walk through the city.
Travel = Europe! Man, I'm so enlightened! 😂
I have an iPhone 13, I noticed e-sim didn’t work when I was in Portugal & Spain last yr…😢 Which one I should use??
Hello. Say, do you have a spreadsheet or the like that can help me figure out what my travel to Germany and Italy will cost? Thanks. :)
There's the option of Interrail Tickets for European countries. You select countries you want to visit and travel days. So if you have a rough idea of your plans, that might be cheapest.
Germany has the DB App - which shows you times in Europe. But you can only buy tickets if you're traveling from Germany or back I think.
Citi Mapper only helps if you are traveling to some major cities they support. Outside those locations you are toast.
Google translate conversation mode sounds like a great idea. in reality it works very poorly. (as of the spring of 2024)
Google maps has accurate distance. But here in the DC area … not time.
How does one configure this VPN? Is it an app ? I see it on my phone settings but. Can’t figure out how to use
Is the global tips app only for iPhone?
Should I buy a train pass, a metro pass ?
Nik -- is there a way to delete downloaded maps after trip to clear out space on phone?
this short explains: ua-cam.com/users/shortsxg1zX6ukWyc
Verizon has a monthly international plan for $100.
Hi Nick, I just have a question on tripit. Are you using the free app or the pro? Just want to know if the price is worth it, Thanks again
Currently just the free!
@@awaytogether I’m leaving to Spain soon and I been sending my schedule e-mails and I’m impressed how easy it is. How everything shows in order even if the emails are out of order. THANK YOU.
Tmobil still beats Holafly in Europe
My immediate question is… does Holafly erase the already installed e-sim for your current US provider? or can they coexist? Do I need to reinstall my US provider eSIM when the vacation is over?
Most phones these days have two slots. Your mileage may vary, but in my case, I've been able to keep my home provider, but simply turn off cellular data for the duration of my trip.
We use Holafly esims when we travel. We have iPhones. In settings under cellular data, your regular esim for current US provider will be at the top of the list, then the Holafly esim will be listed next. You should toggle your current provider “off” and turn on the esim from Holafly (also make sure you turn on data roaming for the Holafly plan). You can turn your regular provider’s plan back on when you get back to the USA.
Also, occasionally we have turned on our us provider cellular to do two number authentication (we have an international plan but only good for 30 days or less out of country) and the two seem to work without any problems.
My phone allows up to 2 eSIMs to be ACTIVE at the same time, but can store more. I'm not sure what the max is, but it probably depends on your phone model anyway. I've also found Airalo to be much cheaper than Holafly.
Yo, that tipping one tho!! 👀 🙏
How does Holafly stop your carrier from charging you anyway? They'll know where you are...
You turn off data for your US/home carrier plan and switch to the travel plan . You won’t be using your home plan’s data. You do that in settings under cellular data.
Holafly isn't compatible with all phones.. found out the hard way
My essential is TrainPal🥲can't live without for cheap train tickets
Its for Americans, who never left their state. The list would be the same in 2016.
WOW! How did we ever travel back in the late 1960’s and early ‘70’s around the world without smartphones and “essential must have apps” ?
Somehow….we did it. And had an amazing time doing it.
You knew how to use paper maps, guidebooks, and could converse with people.
@@jema2609 Yep, learned how to use maps and compass in cub scouts and from my father. And guidebooks. And talk to people. You’re right.
Nowadays we have travel apps like trip and trainpal to get around as well lol.
Google Maps was useless in Iceland
Interesting! What worked?
Hi, nice videos you make, but from now on you can make them WITHOUT A FACE MASK?? It's very negative. thank you and have fun traveling!! 🍀👍🏼
Google and Google maps track you. I’d rather Apple Maps.
Thanks!
