The Denali Experience is All a Matter of Luck
The one thing you might not see when visiting Denali is…Denali? Wait, what? You mean the primary attraction for which the park is named; the mountain that I’m traveling for hours to see; you’re telling me I might not see it? Regrettably, yes. That’s precisely what we’re saying.
According to the park’s rangers, only about one third of all visitors actually get to feast their eyes on the tallest mountain in North America due to the nearly constant cloud cover.
The Denali experience might come down to a matter of luck, however if you find yourself one of the lucky 33%, you will find that the views are well worth the gamble.

After years of full time travel, finding a frequent fix of life on the road is a necessity now that I’ve (kind of) re-joined the real world.

read moreThe Pros and Cons of Living Abroad: An Interview With an Eternal Expat
Laura Bronner has always wanted to be the old lady that everyone goes to for a good story. You know the one; she has crazy tales of days gone by, of encounters that make you laugh so hard you cry, and has crumbling old photo albums worn from years of page turning. She wants to be that old lady.
So, six years ago she packed her life into a backpack and hopped a one-way flight to New Zealand. She lived there for over a year, and then moved to Australia for two more. The following year was spent in Korea, followed by a string of other homes; Switzerland, England, Mexico City.
With no plans of ever moving back “home”, Laura has become an external expat. So who better, we thought, to interview on the pros and cons of living abroad.

read moreUse Flexiroam X for Free Mobile Data when Traveling Overseas
If there’s one thing most of us expect nowadays it’s a reliable internet connection, and having access to mobile data is perhaps even more important for those who travel. That connection means access to information, money, and methods of communication when you find yourself in a foreign land. It’s how we organize everything from where to eat to finding a route to the hotel.
Mobile data has become such an integral part of our daily lives that most of us would be lost without it. Though international roaming can be ridiculously expensive, so staying connected overseas usually means hitting up a local café, finding an insecure public hotspot, or buying a local sim.
Thankfully, companies like Flexiroam are starting to step in, offering a data roaming solution that lets you earn free data before you travel, helping to avoid huge roaming fees when you’re overseas.
