When you’re traveling or living abroad, I’ve learned the hard way that data isn’t just for posting stories or pulling up Google Maps—it’s a safety net. In this video, I talk about why we always recommend going with an unlimited data eSIM, because if you run out at the wrong time, you don’t just lose Instagram… you lose your ability to get the call or message you actually need. We experienced that firsthand when our condo caught fire in Da Nang. Shayna was about 5 kilometres away, and WhatsApp is what got us connected immediately so we could get home fast. I break down how we use unlimited data day-to-day (maps, translate, staying connected with friends and family), and why that “peace of mind” matters when you’re an expat family on the move. I also go through the different plan options—traditional destination/region eSIMs where you can pick the exact number of days, or longer-term monthly subscriptions (including unlimited). And if you want to save money, I share how to use our code THEDUFRESNES to get 5% off traditional eSIMs, 10% off monthly plans, or up to 32% off annual plans (it stacks).
