I don’t like travel itineraries; I hate being told what time to wake up and where I should go next. But this stubbornness also caused me so many wasted time and moments that could’ve been spent on efficient traveling. So for my recent trip, I asked my buddies to plot a rough itinerary on interesting places in Taiwan so we could save time and effort on our three-day jaunt. Good thing was that I had with me my newest travel buddy, the Flytpack Travel Wi-Fi Router, which kept me connected online during the trip so searching for nearby night markets and updating my social media accounts were never a problem. Check out my latest discovery.
During my two-month Beach Hop Asia 2016 backpacking trip last summer, me and my buddy visited five countries and every time, we had to secure local sim cards just to keep up with our social media needs. The problem with it was that we usually ran out of data and looking for a place to top-up, especially when we’re on far-flung areas, was really a task. We also had an option to connect through our service provider through roaming but the charges might surprise us when we get back to the Philippines (check here for discounted tours, transportation and activities in Taipei).

It
was during my cruise trip via Star Cruises when I first came across the
ingenious overseas pocket WiFi that was rented by a friend. I tried connecting
and was so amazed on the reliable and fast connection even when we’re on high
seas. The best thing was that it had a fixed day-to-day charge that relieved
him from stressing over exceeding limits. I told myself that I will be getting
Flytpack Travel Wi-Fi Router on my next travel.

Depending

as low as PhP180) when you rent a Flytpack Travel Wi-Fi Router. The fee is
based on the number of days you travel starting from your departure date up to
your arrival date. There’s also a deposit of PhP2,800 on top of the rental fee that
will be refunded to you within 7-14 working days after the router is
successfully returned to Flytpack.

address you entered at least one day before your departure and will be picked-up
at least one day after your arrival date (there is a penalty per day for late

How does the Flytpack Travel Wi-Fi
Router work when I’m overseas?
Your
Flytpack Travel Wi-Fi Router is pre-configured so there’s no installation and
configuration needed on your part. All you have to do is make sure that the
router is charged then you just have to turn it on and enable the Wi-Fi function
on your gadgets. Search and select the network name (SSID) on your devices and
enter the password (SSID and password can be found on the router itself). And
just like that, you’re connected to the internet!

| Hello Taipei! |
I
made sure that it’s fully charged when I left home and after the two-hour
flight from Manila, I immediately turned the device on as we touched down. The
LCD screen turned blue and indicated that there’s an internet connection. I
enabled the Wi-Fi function of my cellphone and searched for the SSID as
indicated on the router and entered the password. Then notifications from my
different social media accounts popped everywhere. I was so ecstatic for that
instant connection I had.

| Touchdown Taiwan. |
Now that I found a trusted device that I could rely on when all my travel plans fail (I’m still stubborn when it comes to itineraries), I would never leave the country again without it. Flytpack Travel Wi-Fi Router made our three-day trip more fun as we navigated Taiwan with ease. I will definitely include it again on my future travels.
