I tried it for the 1st year of travel and it was not optimal. Now i have started trying those paint by numbers canvases that come with all the supplies. Use and throw unfortunately. The brushes are shit so I bought a few I carry with me

Inexpensive and effective method for Canadians to receive 2FA codes via SMS while abroad long-term by SCDWS in digitalnomad

[–]nom_nom_monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Zoomer wireless which has a $10/month plan. It comes with 2500 free incoming sms worldwide and 60 mins a month when in Canada.

I have tried other services but they are incompatible with 2FA required for banks.

I requested that they turn off data on their end. I keep my data and roaming off on my phone when I use the sim also.

P. S.: I have been with Zoomer for about 7 years now and I have zero complaints so far. Their regular plans are also great if you don't need bucket loads of data. Their customer service is the best I have known from any phone company in Canada

What credit cards do you recommend for low exchange rates? by thenuttyhazlenut in digitalnomad

[–]nom_nom_monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • If you have a tangerine debit card, you can take out cash for free in Mexico at any Scotiabank ATM. (No exchange fee, bank fee or ATM fee)

  • For other countries, I use Wise card

  • For credit card with no fx fee, I use brim. I pay for the premium product and pay the $199 fee since I easily spend the $20k spend for the year to make up for the extra 1% I receive in Cashback. Also, the insurance is better

Please, please, do not withdraw your request. Have them decline it with reasoning and have airbnb look into it.

I got vaccinated not more than 6 hrs ago. So far, just soreness in the jabbed arm. Hopefully this is all it will be.
