As a
freelance writer and blogger, I rarely leave home soil without staying
incommunicado. After one and a half decades as a service provider, I cannot
afford to disconnect from work hence having constant WiFi connectivity is an
absolute necessity rather than a luxury.
That is
when we discovered TravelRecommends’ TravelWifi router is a godsend for us.
Before our recent and maiden visit to the USA, our past #travelwithwifi
experiences left us with good, positive impressions during our work-play
travels to Japan, Thailand and South Korea.

Bringing TravelRecommends’
TravelWifi along simply enable us to:
Mix Business with Pleasure
Most of
our travels tend to combine work with pleasure. Although we strive to devote
more time for R&R on each getaway, us entrepreneurial business owners can
never remain unresponsive to clients or leave work unattended for long.
With
TravelRecommends’ handy TravelWifi, it is so easy to mix business with pleasure
as we can check emails or attend to work-related matters on-the-go without
disrupting our personal itineraries and recreational pursuits.
Our recent visit
to the US of A was a prime #travelwithwifi example on how we stay connected using TravelRecommends’
TravelWifi as we jetted to Tokyo and Chicago before
hitting the road for OshKosh, Winsconsin and the Twin Cities of
Minneapolis-St.Paul, Minnesota and all the way back.
Stay Safe & Secure
We never
take cyber safety and security lightly on our travels abroad. A safe and secure
WiFi connection is invaluable and by using a dedicated TravelRecommends’
TravelWifi with its own user ID and password, we are assured whatever tasks we
execute online is shielded from prying ‘eyes’.
Online
money transfers, bill payments, hotel and restaurant reservations, car rentals, train and
flight ticket bookings…we managed to carry out so many key tasks with peace of
mind during our travels thanks to the secured WiFi connection provided by
TravelRecommends’ TravelWifi router. No need to worry about the risks of exposing
crucial and confidential information to all and sundry when we log on using publicly
accessible WiFi connections.
Enjoy Instant & Constant Connectivity
The one
step ‘push button’ operation of TravelRecommends’ TravelWifi router makes it a
boon for even the most tech ignorant users. Since 5 gadgets can be connected
simultaneously to the TravelWifi, it is perfect for my family as our three smartphones
and two laptops can log on to the Internet anytime.
We love
how fast the router searches, authenticates and operates instantly in different
cities; from Tokyo to Chicago and Minneapolis, the TravelWifi kicks into
operation mode in less than five minutes!
The
signal
strength is always strong and the broadband speed ample enough to cope
with
three adults’ constant social media uploads, downloads and even video
calls. Another advantage is the TravelWifi battery lasts about 10-15
hours per day so the duration is enough to cover our day and sometimes
night outings.
There
were only 2 rare instances when WiFi connectivity was lost: (1) inside the thick iron walled confines of a U505
submarine in the basement level of the Chicago Science and Industry Museum
and (2) on a short stretch of thickly wooded, red cedar-lined route
during our drive back from OshKosh to Chicago. Otherwise, it was smooth sailing
as far as our #travelwithwifi journey is concerned.
Create Precious Memories & Share Travel Experiences
Thanks to
the seamless online connectivity accorded by TravelRecommends’ TravelWifi, my
entire family had a great time sharing countless experiences as we ate, shopped
and explored our way through Asakusa, Tokyo Tower and Tsukiji during our two
stopovers in Tokyo, Japan.
Likewise,
once we touched down in Chicago, all of us practically had family and friends
back home ‘touring’ virtually with us on our daily sight-seeing and holiday
itinerary. From the iconic Wrigley Field Stadium – home of the Chicago Cubs to the awe-inspiring Field Museum, the Windy City blew us away with its European architecture and fervour for the good life.
Heading to OshKosh, Wisconsin proved to be a real breeze as we drove with guided instructions and directions thanks to the uninterrupted online connectivity provided by TravelWifi. No words were adequate to describe how priceless it was for hubby to reconnect and reunite with old
friends from his college days.
Our daily on-the-go connectivity accorded by TravelRecommends' TravelWifi also enabled us to share blow-by-blow accounts of our planned reunion at my cousin brother's home in Minnesota, and the activities we enjoyed in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Needless to say, the whole FB
kampong in Malaysia and beyond had first-hand insights on what we got up to. Such poignant moments are
priceless to us, especially for my 77-year old Mum whose maiden visit to the US
notches up a significant milestone in her life.
Avoid Post-Travel Bill Shock
Being the
budget-conscious travellers that we are, we did my homework to survey the
different WiFi options available before our impending trip. Although our telcos
offer competitive rates, we find TravelRecommends’ TravelWifi still comes up
trumps as the router allows us to connect up to five gadgets in one go.
There’s
no need to worry about exorbitant roaming charges, no foreign telco partnering
connectivity issues and no need to hunt for and change SIM cards. With promotional
rental rates offered by TravelRecommends going for as low as RM8/day, it is
without a doubt which #travelwithwifi partner we should go with. As a repeat TravelRecommends
customer, I have nothing but praises for all my experiences using the
TravelWifi router on my travel sojourns.
Thank
you TravelRecommends for being such a supportive travel partner in the
creation of so many precious memories for JOM MAKAN LIFE on our recent
explorations to Tokyo, Chicago, OshKosh and Minneapolis. For
