Hey we're Phillip and Lidia and we're going to share with
you guys how we stay connected while we travel internationally
All right this video is going to be straight to the point we're going to do speed tests we're
going to show you the products we use so stay tuned we'll give you all the information you
need so that you guys can stay connected too while you're traveling internationally right
now we've been in Mexico for about three months so we've been able to test these products pretty well
and we've been in some pretty remote areas and these products have really helped us stay
connected in order to upload videos and get our work done so instead of having to go to cafes to
upload videos or do our internet work like adding a blog uploading photos creating our website
staying in touch with our friends and family we've been able to do it while traveling and right now
we're actually on a beach in the middle of nowhere and we're able to stay connected and camp out on
the beach which is great just camping on the beach while still being able to work and stay connected
these products have been super helpful and in this video i'm going to go over these products with you
guys so that you can stay connected as well so if you like this video and guys are interested
in the products make sure to hit subscribe and the like button and help us out by using our
affiliate links to get the products that we're showing you today first up we're going to show
you how we actually get wi-fi which is with this product right here it's called glocalme
and they actually do international plans depending on where you go whatever country or region you're
visiting they have all different kinds of plans you can do per gigabyte per month and it's all
different prices depending on which country you go it's actually been super handy for us these
products are a mobile hotspot they give you 4g lte service they're able to tap into all cell phone
towers for example we have sprint or t-mobile and for some reason wherever this isn't working our
hot spot does work it's great for traveling it's battery powered so you just have to recharge it
and you can take it everywhere with you it's just the same size as a cell phone
so it's super portable super easy to use you can just throw it in your bag with your camera gear or
whatever and take it with you wherever you go and it actually surprised us how well it works so that
again that is that's local me they frequently give out sales and good deals for certain areas and
regions so make sure to check it out so that you can stay connected while you're traveling yeah as
you can see here we have a little bit less than 20 gigs left on our plan we use it for all kinds of
stuff from streaming netflix to uploading youtube videos to updating our website to just being in
contact with our friends and family via facebook or instagram or any other social media platforms
i would say the only downside to using this product is that it's run off of 4g cell towers but
with this other product we're about to show you linked up with this we've had really good results
just a great product overall and it kind of blew us away how well it works it's super affordable so
make sure to check out the link and tell them we sent you so let's move on and we'll show you the
product that we use combined with this that helps us stay connected when we're traveling further out
there to more remote locations in combination with the GlocalMe hot spot we use a Weboost with these
two products combined it's almost unstoppable to stay connected full disclosure this video
is sponsored by Weboost but it's only because we reached out to them because we love their
products so much it's really the only thing that's made it possible to really upload youtube videos
while traveling and over landing going to remote locations and surprisingly enough
it actually has been working way better in Mexico than it was for us in the us
which was a huge shock to us but we've been testing this thing out for well over a year now
and we couldn't be happier with it if you're going to be doing van life traveling in your van
or an RV or even a boat i recommend you install this this product is a little bit pricey but it's
well worth it especially if you'll be traveling internationally if you're going out there to
more remote locations this thing is definitely really handy and a must to have so even if you
don't work remotely it's still great to have a mobile hotspot internationally so you can stay
connected with your friends and family as well as stream Netflix and stay entertained watch
youtube for example right now we've been camping outside of pueblo here in Mexico on the beach
in a remote area with nothing around no services at all and we're still able to do what we need
to do to make money on the road also we made a how-to video installing the wii boost we'll put
it up here for you guys so you can check it out later Weboost also has great customer service
they have really good technical support with this product we'll be doing a speed test with
and without it to show you the difference that it makes so check them out the links down below
so again make sure to check these out and stay connected while traveling internationally
all right so let's get into the nerdy details for you guys and do a speed test with the local me and
the wii boost and then we'll do with and without the wii boost so you can see the difference in how
much it actually helps and also let's see if we can do a little cell phone hot spot speed test too
so you can see the difference between the local me compared to a regular cell phone hot spot i'm
pretty sure the local me is going to outperform it alright it's time to do the speed test with the
local me paired up with the wii boost let me turn the screen recording on and bring you guys in here
and as you can see right here we're on gypsy tribe which is our hot spot that we picked the name for
i'm gonna go ahead and go over to the internet type in speedtest.net and go ahead and click go
let's see what it does
now remember this is the local me hot spot with the wii boost connected and just for
reference a little bit of context we're out on the edge edge of getting getting sell signal
just so we can show you how much the wii boost helps and how far out how far out actually the
local me will go and there you go we have 6.5 download speed and 18.5 upload speed and that's
really cool with the local me is it does have really good upload speeds which is killer for
us doing youtube videos so uh keep that in mind now all right now let me show you i'm going to
disconnect the wii boost and then we'll do another speed test and show you just how much this helps
let me just uh unscrew it here right keep it going live for you guys so you know we're not
bullshitting and uh let me run the test now again and we'll show you the difference
with the wii boost disconnected just on the local me hotspot
okay it's doing a little less on the download and then let's see how it goes on the upload
big difference there basically flatlined
yep
we boost disconnected upload speed .39 download 5.78 which is pretty terrible
and even you can see the bars this has 4g lte bars they've gone down to two bars instead of four
and there you have it that's how much better the wii boost actually helps and now while we're here
let's go ahead and try the phone hotspot all right connected to philips iphone and let's try it again
and it looks like it's not even connecting to do the test download test error yep doesn't even work
so there you have it if that's not proof it works i don't know what is so if you guys have problems
