Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never had an issue with Wi-Fi, not even once.

I do have insurance that would cover those costs.

It's not the easiest journey, right? Especially if you have things that you know have been handed down generation over generation.

I do find it so freeing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get medical evacuation insurance.
โœ“Schedule doctor and dentist appointments when visiting family.
โœ“Wash hands constantly and avoid crowds in small places.
โœ“Downsize in phases rather than all at once.
โœ“Add a second passenger to a booking later to avoid losing multiple deposits.
