How do I plan a 12 month travel route with eSIM?

Start by mapping your year in broad regions that match the seasons: for example, January–March in Southeast Asia, April–June in Europe, and September–November in Latin America. Then, within each window, choose specific destinations using month-based guides to the best places to visit each month. Once you have your rough route, check which countries can be covered by regional eSIMs and where you’ll need single-country plans. Before each leg of the journey, purchase and install the relevant eSIM profile while on Wi‑Fi, but only activate it when you arrive so the validity doesn’t start early. Keep your home SIM in the phone with data roaming disabled, track your data usage per month, and adjust plan sizes as you learn how much you typically consume in each type of trip (city-heavy, road trip, or beach).
