Always carry your travel sim card with you it helps you to stay connected to your loved ones back home. If you are going on a business trip than you have to check for messages and reply to the e-mails. For this, you need a strong network sim card which also offers data at a cheaper price.
Some people carry travel sim card with them from their home country while others buy at the entry point (airport). We advise you to buy it before you take off from your home country. Search for the best deal online or take help of your friend or call your existing mobile network company to know if they offer some best international sim plans.
In our experience, it is best to buy a separate international travel sim card. Because this will save your money and they are meant for international use.
6. Longer stays: Longer stays are the only option to explore the beauty of a place. Finding a local friend at the restaurant can make exciting stories. For more memorable trips try to talk with natives but be care full all natives are not friendly.
