If you made a resolution to travel more in 2025, there’s no better time to start planning than right now. Let’s haul out the suitcase, start reviewing our favourite travel sites, and get started on a checklist to get ready for our next adventure. 

This time, we’re going to tackle the thrill of international travel by making sure we’re staying connected while hopping between countries. Top of the list? An eSIM card for international travel.

For the uninitiated, traditional SIM cards have been all but replaced by eSIM technology, and for good reason: they’re cost-effective, easy-to-use, and perfectly designed for all types of travel.  

Here’s why our first stop on this holiday is at the app store for an aloSIM eSIM, why it’s the perfect travel companion, and how to get one at an affordable price.  

What is an eSIM (and why get one for travel)? 

An eSIM is a digital SIM that’s built directly into your device. It eliminates the need for swapping out physical cards or dealing with annoying activation delays.

With aloSIM, you can download and activate your eSIM instantly and activate it with just a few taps of your screen, giving you instant connectivity wherever you may roam.  

Popular aloSIM destinations 

So, where should we go? aloSIM makes staying connected abroad easy almost anywhere in the world with affordable eSIM plans for the hottest travel destinations.

Whether we’re heading to relax on the beach, exploring bustling cities, or venturing into the serenity of a remote countryside, we’ll be covered with aloSIM plans for individual countries or regions.  

Backpacking through Europe

  • Let’s wander down the historic streets of Seville before hopping on a train to Tuscany. We can hit up a hostel in Hungary, and then swing by Switzerland to round out the trip, all covered with the Europe aloSIM eSIM

Asian cultural tour

  • We’ll hustle through the busy streets of Japan, head to China to experience the Lunar New Year festival, and then take off to a tropical beach in Thailand, and we’ll stay connected with a regional aloSIM for Asia

A North American road trip

  • We can start in British Columbia, Canada and head through the mountains of the pacific northwest, down into the USA through Washington state with a stop over in Seattle for a caffeine fix before heading to the heartland for a tour of American comfort food. Let’s finish up with a cerveza toast in Mexico, all with just one regional North America eSIM
