Excited to be working with Astrsk PR on a new pay-as-you-go mobile provider called Karma that travelers will love. With Karma, you pay for data as you go, and take it with you on your 4G mobile hotspot.
The concept is pretty neat: Share Wi-Fi. Earn free data. Here’s how it works:
- Every Karma hotspot comes with an open Wi-Fi signal branded individually to its owner (ex: Robert’s Karma)
- The hotspot owner earns 100 megabytes of data each time they share their Karma with a new user
- Invited new users are then gifted 100 megabytes of data
For digital nomads like me constantly in search of reliable internet, Karma is a life saver. It fits in the palm of your hand, has 6 to 8 hours of battery life, is capable of speeds up to 6 megabits per second (Mbps) and can facilitate up to 8 open connections at once.
Sound interesting? You can order a Karma hotspot at yourkarma.com for $79, including 1 gigabyte of free bandwidth. Additional bandwidth costs $14 per gigabyte and never expires.

I have finally received my first print edition of The Long-Term Traveler’s Guide book, which author Jeremy Jones was so kind to ask me to contribute. In the book, I take anecdotal experiences from my travels abroad and turn them into practical, and relatable tips for other young people to learn from.
Some of the topics I contributed to:
- Solo vs. Group Traveling
- Deciding Where To Go
- Budget Savings
- Gastronomic Delight (food!)
- Travel Obsessions
- Reflecting on the Experience
I encourage everyone to find happiness through travel and am always excited to share insight with others to help them make a dream trip come true.

Happy (and safe) travels!
