Unless you enjoy roaming charges, a European SIM card is a must-have for any holiday or hiking trip to Europe. See below for some helpful blogs in this space.
Translation Services in Europe
With such a diverse range of languages and dialects found over Europe, Ireland, the UK (and the world), having access to a translation service can help smooth over any language barriers. Be that the small print on a visa application, a booking for a tour, accommodation, or transport. It can make life a lot easier to if people are speaking your language.
Visa information and Visa Services
Ensure you know and understand all the visa and travel requirements for your next European getaway. The UK is not Europe, and not every European country is in the European Union. So make sure you have the proper documents and passes for where your next adventure is!
European Weather Systems
Stay updated with the latest weather reports and forecasts for various regions and weather systems. Depending on your destination, you will want to be adequately prepared and equipped for the weather. You may not need an avalanche report in Belgium, but you will want to know about snow drifts when hiking in the Alps on either side of a Swiss Winter.
