We live away from our home country of Canada for up to 6 months every winter, and in so doing, we travel many different countries and we come across many different internet scenarios: fast, slow, safe and sketchy! And also, we don't always need or what to be "seen" online! We've been really happy using a great VPN called Surfshark since 2020 and can really recommend it. This VPN offers another layer of safety built in when doing online tasks and seeking online entertainment. We have a great affiliate link for you if you want to try it too. If you sign up as a brand new subscriber to Surfshark using our link, we will both get some free months. Why not give it a try?
