LGBT BELFAST

Belfast is a city rich in history and culture, but also in political and social tensions, especially regarding the rights of the LGBT community. Despite progress in recognizing LGBT rights across the UK, the situation in Northern Ireland has been more complex. Controversies over marriage equality and other LGBT rights issues have fueled divisions within Belfast society. However, in recent years, there have been signs of change and greater acceptance, with events such as Belfast Pride attracting more and more participants and public support. Local and national organizations continue to work to promote equality and tackle homophobia and discrimination in the city. Despite the challenges, the LGBT community in Belfast demonstrates resilience and determination in pursuing full equality and inclusion.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Before any trip, it is a good idea to get insurance to cover any inconveniences that could ruin the experience. We always rely on HeyMondo , which allows you to choose the right insurance for every need. We recommend that you always protect yourself with health insurance and coverage for any cancellations, delays and, if you use it, for theft or breakage of electronic equipment. Medical care abroad can be very expensive. Health insurance in this country is not mandatory by law but it is strongly recommended, without it even a routine visit can make you pay out astronomical amounts.

INTERNET & PHONE CALL

eSIM CARD

How many times do we go abroad and the first thing we do is call home to say we have arrived. How often are we in a city on vacation and we need to find a place to eat using Google Maps or the internet. How many times do we need to send messages and photos on WhatsApp without spending a salary.

 

Tired of spending millions when abroad calling or using the internet?

Here is the SOLUTION we use: Holafly, a new technology with eSIM. Order your eSIM on the website and within minutes you will receive an email with a QR code. Just scan it and you'll be connected to the internet right away. You save time, stress and above all do something good for the environment by not having a physical SIM. If you are in a hurry and have to leave tomorrow and have not thought about the internet problem, you can solve it very quickly with this eSIM, and there is no problem that you could accidentally lose it or damage it while traveling. Most importantly, with the eSIM you don't have to change or remove your regular SIM card, you can leave it in the phone and use the eSIM instead of the physical one.

Don't waste time and above all don't spend millions, activate your Holafly eSim.

It's very easy, but how to do it? Just 3 steps and voilà!

Holafly-eSIM-how-does-it-work.jpg
