Travel Resources

This is a running list of things I actually use when I travel. Nothing’s here because someone asked me to add it. I’ll add things as I find them worth mentioning.

Saily eSIM

I started using Saily a couple of trips ago and I’m not going back. You download the app, buy a data plan for wherever you’re going, and it’s ready when you land. No tracking down a SIM kiosk, no roaming charges showing up on your bill later.

At checkout, tap “Got a coupon?” and enter code KIMBER5184 for a discount on your first plan.

💡 BSF Tip — Do This Before You Leave, Not at the Airport

Set up your eSIM plan at home on your regular Wi-Fi. It’ll activate on its own when you land. To check if your phone supports eSIM: on iPhone, go to Settings → General → About and look for “Available SIM.” Most phones from 2019 on are good to go.

Everything I’ve actually bought and traveled with, organized into lists by category. Things like packing cubes, the neck pillow I refuse to fly without, stuff I picked up after learning the hard way I needed it.
