Add strong global connections, incredible food, deep history, and landscapes that jump from Mediterranean beaches to the Alps, and suddenly the picture looks very different.

Home Blog North America Last updated: 4 min Costa Rica is everywhere in digital nomad rankings. And honestly, that made me skeptical. When a place gets that popular, it often turns into a digital nomad trap. Higher prices, crowded hotspots, and a lifestyle that looks better on Instagram than it feels in real life.

As a long-time espresso Display user, I decided to give the espresso by Kensington Magnetic Privacy Screen a try. Here’s what you should know before buying one for yourself.

Home Blog eSims Last updated: 6 min China is an incredible place to live and travel, but if you work online... The internet will humble you pretty quickly! Google, WhatsApp, Slack, and Instagram are all blocked by the Great Firewall.You can use a VPN, but it often slows things down enough to make work frustrating. I spent three months working remotely in China, tried a few different setups, and eventually used Airalo’s China eSIM (without a VPN!) for the entire trip.
