    Questions about eSim card

    Use WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or FaceTime (voice only) for calls. Add your country code to your phone# and any others you want to have calls with while traveling. Start a text group at home so everyone is on same thread. Then turn off your normal esim on your flight over. On cellular when...

    E-Sim card

    That’s how it works with single sim phones for sure. Now with the dual sims you can actually have two at once!! The rain isn’t a physical sim, so it leaves a slot open for whatever one you buy. It’s awesome for travel or if you only want to carry one phone for personal and business but have it...

    E-Sim card

    Interesting. This isn’t the case for me (AT&T also). I only have e-sim and phone works just fine. Keeping that slot open for euro travel next year 🤞🏻

    E-Sim card

    This is exactly perfect advice and how the dual sim system should be used.

    E-Sim card

    Use the recommendation above regarding E-sim for the US. We specifically got dual sim for exactly the reason of traveling. E sim is just a sim that your phone company will scan and set up for your phone, nothing will be obvious to you. You would only lose data you saved to your SIM card. Then...

    I find them super slippery and dangerous

    Has anyone used pedicure "slippers" for shower shoes?

    My husband had bad blisters on one foot between his toes. He ended up walking over 250km with one Ecco sandal and one Solomon. He would of wore both but had a bad injury (it was long healed), and wanted a bit more support. Last summer, we went for a longer 42km walk, I forgot my shoes, and so...

    "Buff" question for native English speakers

    The Buff was very popular on the American TV show survivor. Each team had them in a unique color and they wore them in many ways. I knew of Buff branded products for at least 20 years. Increasingly any head tubes are called buffs. I like Camino Neck Gaiter better than warmer. When walking the...

    Best packing practice - what to keep in easy* reach?

    I use lightweight packing cubes. One for clothes, one for first aide (top pocket of pack), which is also where I keep my toilet items in grab and go plastic bag - tp and doggie waste bags -just a couple for emergencies, and a small wet wipe packet. I use a small cube for underwear, socks, hat...

    Eating up data in Spain

    On Vodaphone they round up to the nearest 100mb parcel so it uses data faster. Orange is best. If you buy the “travelEurope” plan you don’t get much data and it’s expensive. Also available on amazon. Using an unlocked phone with Orange you can buy a package per country for cheap. 20euro for 25...

    When Two Hyperlight Backpackers Meet

    Thanks for adding a stealth link back! That was ultralight of you. This reminds me of when while not quite ultralight, after our Camino my hubby and I wanted to see if we could backpack in using our Osprey 45’s. We have a under 2 lb tent we split, used our silk liners, down blanket, carried...

    Women's Lightweight Hoody

    I was going to comment on the leg warmers and say I used medium level SmartWool compression leggings in place of the leg warmer option describes by the OP. You lose the easy benefit of just slipping them off your legs as it warmed up, I did that at first coffee stop. I also wore them flying to...

    Black Diamond hiking poles problems

    You can email them if cleaning doesn’t help. They might replace them when you get back home. One my my husbands poles had a problem (different brand), and that’s what they did.
