Welcome to my little travel gear corner.
I travel, get lost, try new things, make mistakes, and somehow keep going. Along the way, I’ve found a few things that make travelling easier, safer, and a lot more fun.
Everything here is something I’ve actually used, tried, or found useful on my travels.
📱 eSIM & Internet
Getting online as soon as I land makes everything easier — maps, messages, bookings, translation, and finding my way back when I inevitably get lost. 🐒
These are the eSIMs and mobile services I’ve used or recommend for travelling abroad.
🏨 Hotels & Guesthouses
I love places that are more than just somewhere to sleep.
Friendly hosts, interesting neighbourhoods, local conversations, and places where solo travellers can feel comfortable — these are some of the stays I’ve enjoyed along the way.
💳 Money & Payments
Cards, overseas payments, currency exchange…
Not the most exciting part of travelling, but definitely one of the most useful things to get right.
Here are the services and tools that make handling money abroad a little easier.
📷 Camera & Travel Gear
I don’t travel with a perfect setup.
I just use things that are practical enough to carry around and easy enough to use while I’m wandering through markets, restaurants, streets and random places I find interesting.
Here’s what’s currently in the monkey’s bag. 🐒
🗺️ Apps I Actually Use
Maps, translation, transport, restaurant bookings and all the little apps that save me when I have absolutely no idea where I am.
These are the ones I actually open while travelling.
🐒 Monkey’s Favourites
No complicated ranking system here.
Just things that made me think:
“Yep. I’d use that again.”
That’s enough to earn the Monkey’s Favourite badge. 🐒
