Beautiful! Wouldn’t mind some sun myself! Weather in NL is far less like yours over there 😅 I was wondering how you handle internet while working remotely. I work remotely myself but need to be connected for sending data back and forth. Do you have some sort of magic sim card hack I should know about in case I would want to travel? :)

Yess, well, not magic but I learned a thing or two on the road.

  1. Which simcard to get?

This website can tell you which provider has the best coverage. I have Iliad now, not the best here but good enough.
I believe I have around 170! GB for only 10! Euros a month. France was also very cheap. Netherlands is supposed to be one of the worst countries for data Sim cards
Pretty much all people buy a local Sim in the country where they go. There are also some package for all Europe. If you would prefer that, I can look it up.

I also have a Dutch Sim with 20GB as plan B (I pay monthly so they don't give a fuck about fair use policy.

  1. My router
    I have a Mifi router (Netgear nighthawk) as router for my Sim, with an antenna. It is not perfect (Mainly because it overheats while charging in hot summer days) but it helped me a lot. I need stable connection for calls ad it does what it should.

  2. Be aware of the fair use policy!
    If you wanna stay longer than 4 months, make sure you look up on google what the fair use policy means.

I might get Starlink in the future though, if it suits my travels and it gets a bit cheaper.

Edit: even if you go shorter than 4 months, you can usually not use all your GBs outside of the SIMcards country. It is always wise to look up the fair use policy if you wanna use the simcard outside of the country. I had a Simyo before and that one doesn't work as a hotspot outside of Holland, which means it is useless in a Mifi router

Super useful info! Which specific model of MIFI router do you have? They vary so much in price. Is it 5G compatible? I really wish fair use policies were non-existence. I would buy a good sim card and router and never have a fixed connection anymore :D

I have the M2 without 5g as far as I know. I don't need very fast internet, 4g is usually just fine.

I believe that the business Vodafone doesn't have a fair use policy, but they need a "KVK nummer" before you can get one.
