Get 10GB eSIM for Japan on Airalo for USD 6 (New Users) or USD 7.65 (Amaze Card Holders)
As someone who travels quite a fair bit, I have found the usage of eSIM to be a lifesaver - it takes out the hassle of having to physically remove a SIM card (and risk losing it) and you can switch between different lines on the go. I have been using several different eSIM providers but I have recently found Airalo while searching for a data plan in Japan. At the time of writing, Airalo is offering 10 GB of data (via an eSIM option) for just USD 9 - if you are a new user, signing up for Airalo using my referral code MARK6264 will get you USD 3 off. However, you may also consider saving your USD 3 for a different purchase as you can also enjoy a 15% discount on all eSIMs sold on Airalo with your Instarem Amaze Card (and avoid pesky foreign currency charges with the right credit card).

There are plenty of eSIM providers in the market and while Airalo is not always the cheapest, it is one of the most reputable ones around at the moment. Some of the eSIMs for Southeast Asia (e.g. Malaysia) are priced ridiculously, but the one for Japan is fantastic at the moment. The 10 GB eSIM typically goes for USD 18 but for a limited time, it is selling for USD 9 only. As mentioned earlier, using my referral code MARK6264 will knock a further USD 3 off your purchase but if you have an Amaze Card (which you should if you follow The Shutterwhale), you will be able to enjoy a further 15% discount on all eSIMs with the promo code AMAZE15.

I link my Citi Rewards Mastercard to my Amaze Card to avoid paying any foreign currency charges and also earn 4 miles per dollar on such purchases. ShopBack is also currently running a 22% cashback campaign for Airalo so you can seriously double- or triple-dip on these promotions to get maximum bang for your buck.
Planning a beach day can seem simple, but unexpected issues often arise. Mornington Peninsula’s beaches are popular, which means dealing with potential crowds, fluctuating weather, and poor preparation can easily ruin your outing. Arriving late might lead to parking challenges, and picking the wrong beach can limit your planned activities. Many forget important items that could make or break their beach experience, leading to stress and missed opportunities for relaxation.
