Nomad eSIM Review

2 months ago | foreverbreak.com | Josh Bender

International travel without reliable mobile data is like driving blindfolded - unnecessarily risky and entirely avoidable. Today's travelers need instant connectivity the moment they land. Physical SIM cards with their tiny trays and foreign-language instructions belong in a tech museum, not your travel arsenal.

Feb 18, 2025 | uvmusicmag.com | Josh Bender

Sun Room is an up and coming band that the rock music scene desperately needs. The band is currently embarking on a West Coast tour which just made two stops in West Hollywood at the iconic Troubadour. Both nights sold out and it was jam packed with kids going nuts as the set carried on. With a ton of mosh-worthy songs in their discography and very little banter in between songs, the 60 minute set flew through like a breeze leaving many in attendance hungry for more.

Dec 1, 2024 | foreverbreak.com | Josh Bender

Losing mobile connectivity the moment you land abroad isn't just frustrating - it's a massive disruption to how we work and travel today.

Duex Max DS Review: For Serious Remote Workers and Digital Nomads

Sep 12, 2024 | travelwithbender.com | Josh Bender

Every square centimetre matters. When your job revolves around sitting in front of a laptop for hours at a time, your productivity is directly tied to how much you can see and do at any one moment.
