Professional idiot
completing side missions.
I make travel films about the places people tell you not to go, then come home and try to explain why they were wrong. Four years ago I was at an office desk. Now it's full time, and the camera comes everywhere.

What I actually travel with
eSIM data
Holafly
An eSIM, so I have data the moment I land. No hunting for a SIM shop at the airport. In a lot of countries the unlimited plan costs more than a local SIM, so this is for convenience, not for saving money.

Revolut
What I actually spend on abroad. No rubbish exchange rate, and the points transfer out to real airline programmes, so normal spending slowly turns into a long-haul seat.

Amex Platinum
Unlocks hotel and airline status without flying for it, plus lounge access. Big annual fee though. Only worth it if you travel enough to genuinely use the benefits.
