10 Portugal Travel Tips for First-Timers You Don't Wanna Miss!

Alright folks, listen up! I just got back from an awesome trip to Portugal and wanna share some of the best Portugal travel tips I learned as a first time visitor. Portugal is such a rad country that doesn't get enough love compared to its neighbor Spain. But trust me when I say it's totally worth checking out. And with these essential tips, your first trip to Portugal will be smooth sailing. Let's kick things off with some planning tips.

Coinbase Suddenly Cancels My Account - Now I Don't Trust Them

-- Here's my first post when I got the first email Well would you look at that, Coinbase just went and cancelled my account out of the blue! I've been using them for over seven years to buy, hold and sell different cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Everything seemed fine - I followed all the account verification steps when I signed up, kept my personal info updated, and made regular trades. But then last June I got an email from Coinbase saying they were discontinuing all services to my account by September 25th and I had to withdraw any funds. What's up with that? They didn't give me any explanation for the cancellation either. Literally nothing - just "you've got until this date to pull your money out and then you can't use your account anymore." Rude much, Coinbase?! Needless to say, I was pretty annoyed by this sudden development. I mean, Coinbase is one of the biggest and most well-known crypto exchanges out there. You'd think they...

Plug and Socket Types around the World: Why You Need a Universal Travel Adapter

  Are you planning an international trip? Exciting! But before you go, it’s important to remember that not all countries use the same electrical outlet plugs. In fact, there are currently 15 types of domestic electrical outlet plugs in use worldwide, each of which has been assigned a letter by the US Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITA), starting with A and moving through the alphabet. These letters are completely arbitrary and don’t actually mandate anything. Different regions of the world use different plug shapes and sizes, so you’ll want to choose the correct one for the country you’re visiting. For example, most of Europe uses one type, but Italy and Switzerland each use something different. Don’t worry though, there are many options available to help you stay connected and charged up while you travel. First things first, always remember to bring a Universal Travel Adapter. This is a must-have item for any international traveler. A Universal Travel A...

The email informed me that Coinbase would be discontinuing all services to my account and that I had until September 25th, 2023, to withdraw my funds.
