NOISE SENSITIVITY

Loop earplugs


I use the Loop Quiet earplugs for sleeping (if white noise isn't an option): https://amzn.to/3AYv66d

I use the Loop Engage Plus to filter out background noise if I am trying to have a conversation: https://amzn.to/4d5coHJ

TECH / PRIVACY / E-SIM


NordVPN

A VPN is a must-have when you're traveling abroad or if connecting to insecure wifi. 

Saily e-sim

An eSIM is a great option for travelers who don’t want to overpay roaming charges on their mobile, and want to avoid the hassle of purchasing a physical SIM card. Just like a regular SIM card, an eSIM allows you to use data plans of different providers, usually in 30-day packages.
