Not only that, but if you’re in another country, and try to buy an actual sim card for your phone. You’ll have to go through the hassle of finding a physical vendor in your area, and have to visit that same vendor every time just to reload your card.
With Airalo you can buy eSIMs right from their app, and reload just as easily right from your phone. If you’re planning to travel abroad you might want to consider using an eSIM provider like Airalo.

5. Radical Storage
One of the problems you run into while traveling is not having a place to store your luggage. Maybe you arrived a little early, and your room isn’t ready or maybe your flight was delayed.
In those situations companies like Radical Storage can come in handy if you need a temporary place to store your luggage. Some airports have luggage storage services, but not all.
You can also try to ask the hotel you’re staying at if they can hold your luggage until your room is ready, but just like airports, hotels don’t always offer that type of service. Also, many hotels aren’t responsible for loss, theft, or damage to your items.
With a storage company like Radical Storage they can hold onto your bags, and offer a warranty if anything comes up damaged or missing.

The only advice I’d give since they work with so many different companies. Is that it might be wise to check on the company you purchase the rental from.
Make sure all your information is clear before booking. If possible try to contact the company, or persons in charge, to confirm that all your information is correct, and that your rental is ready before you arrive.
