Growing up in Rome, I’ve naturally spent a lot of time around tourists. After all, the Eternal City is one of the world’s most popular cities, and I’ve gotten used to sharing my home with the millions who visit it every year. That said, it's easy to spot the first-timers when I'm out and about, as they're usually making the same packing mistakes over and over again.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — While airport Wi-Fi has improved, Eric Plam, President at SIMO, a global mobile connectivity device company, said it is still public, making it vulnerable. Official networks can be mimicked or compromised. He said if you are logging into bank accounts or sensitive information, public Wi-Fi, whether it’s at the gym, a coffee shop, or the airport, is never the safest choice.  These scams by hackers who target public Wi-Fi networks in airports typically fall into a category known as “evil twin” attacks or “man-in-the-middle attacks. “

Traveling with reliable internet isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s your digital lifeline. Portable Wi-Fi helps you navigate safely, stay in touch, and avoid the risks of public networks wherever you go.

TSA is warning travelers about this type of cyber attack. You may want to think twice before plugging your phone into public charging stations. While they are convenient when you’re on the go and you need to charge up, they can also be tampered with by hackers. This is called ‘juice jacking.’

One of the challenges of living a full-time travel life is figuring out the logistics of where and how I'll work. Regularly traveling to new countries is exciting, but I still have to take Zoom meetings and send updates on a regular basis. I'm self-employed, and nearly all of my business takes place online, so a fast, secure, and reliable internet connection wherever I travel is a must.
