Nomad eSIM
eSIM · Data
Live data the second I landed. No SIM swap, no kiosk line. This is the one I run.
Set it up →Not a list I scraped off the internet. Every service below is one I put in my own phone, my own wallet, or my own day the week I landed.
Some links below are affiliate or partner links. If you sign up through one, it helps fund the show at no extra cost to you. I only list things I use. That is the whole rule.
The first thing you need on the ground, before you even leave the airport.
Live data the second I landed. No SIM swap, no kiosk line. This is the one I run.
Set it up →For your US bank, your streaming, and security on public wifi. The one I keep on.
Get protected →Travel and health cover built for people who actually live abroad, not two-week tourists.
Travel cover built for people on the move, not two-week tourists. The cover I trust for the road.
Get covered →The part nobody films. Visas, residency, the stuff that keeps you legal.
Residency and visa rules change fast here. The person who actually handles mine.
Get in touch →Tourist, student, residency, what each one actually means. The plain-English version.
Read the guide →You can scrape by on tourist Spanish. To actually live here, you cannot.
One-on-one lessons with real tutors. Perfect for learning the porteño accent from an actual Argentine, on your own schedule.
Find a tutor →Holding dollars and moving them cleanly matters more here than almost anywhere.
Still testing what actually works for moving dollars in and out of Argentina. I will not list one until I trust it. That is the whole point of this page.
Coming soonThe handful of things every person moving abroad actually needs. No filler.
Works in any country. The first thing I pack, and the one I never think about again.
See the adapter →Tiny, fast, and it handles the weird outlets down here. Charges everything off one plug.
See the charger →Food. Travel. Toilets. You knew these were coming. Keeps you fresh on the long days when a shower is hours away.
See the wipes →My go-to for the long hauls. The difference between landing wrecked and landing ready to film.
See it →For the long days on foot with no outlet in sight. Brings a dead phone back to life.
See the power bank →In your bag, your suitcase, on your keys. Do not overthink it, just get them.
See the trackers →For a city where the phone is the target. Slash-proof, zip-locked, keeps your stuff yours.
See the bag →I am eighteen months into becoming Argentine, on camera, in real time. Everything here gets updated as I learn it the hard way, so you do not have to.
