If you have been following along on our Instagram, you know we just visited Amsterdam. It was our first time in Europe and we seriously had the time of our lives! Before we left, we wanted to make sure we could stay connected so we partnered up with Skyroam to try out their new mobile hotspot Solis!

We were so excited to find out that the Solis is a super fast portable WiFi and power charging for international travel! This is exactly what we were looking for!

Skyroam WiFi
