If you’ve always wanted to visit the most magical places on Earth but never knew where to begin, you’re at the right place. Let the magical world of fiction and imagination inspire you and discover the side of the world you never thought existed for real.
Now, if you’re planning on knocking off international destinations from your bucket list, you’re going to need a plan to keep in touch with everyone back home. I didn’t always have a phone plan that carried my data around the world.
Years ago, it was all payphones for me. After that, I got by using data cards. The issue with that is they are usually only found in major cities, but a service like mobile recharge eliminates that problem by refiling your minutes and data online.
