We all love to travel, but we don’t always have the accommodations that you would have at home. Maybe your hotel won’t have a smart TV with an internet connection, but you want to have a relaxing night after a day of sightseeing and watch something on Netflix. Or maybe the last episode of the new season of the show you are obsessed with, and you don’t want to miss it.
We are here to help you with a couple of useful tips on how you can watch your favorite movies and shows even when traveling.
Check if the movies and shows are aired on a local channel
Sometimes you might be very lucky, and the movies you want to watch will be aired during your vacation on some local channel. The same applies to popular TV shows that might be anyway part of the program. However, this becomes a bit tricky if you are in a country where they speak a language you don’t know. So, in this case, you should count on having subtitles or trying to find a channel in your native language.
Online streaming
This seems like the obvious choice, especially if you are in a fancy hotel with a high-tech TV or you are bringing your laptop with you. There are so many streaming platforms, so you will never run out of content to watch. Let’s not forget all the sites you can use for free or paid content online streaming. On most of them, you can find even the newest movies, of course, in exchange for a small fee you have to pay.
But what if you are not planning to bring your laptop with you just because you know your hotel will have a TV in your room? Most hotels already have smart TVs, but if the one you are going to is not one of those, there is a simple solution — bring your streaming device like Fire Stick TV with you.
It is pretty small, and you can just plug it into any TV. Like that, you will have all your accesses without needing to set up anything again. And especially if you have Kodi installed with all the best Kodi builds prepared. We all get very attached to our favorite Kodi build and add-ons, so we can understand why you would like to bring your streaming device with you.
Something you should keep in mind is that maybe the content you would like to watch might not be available in the country you are visiting. In this case, you should consider getting the best VPN for Netflix. This will not only give you the possibility to mask your VPN and to look like you are back home but also keep yourself well protected. This will be very useful, especially if the TV series you want to watch is aired only in your home country.
Renting options
You can explore renting options offered in the place where you will be vacationing. Many hotels have their own libraries where you can find many new and old titles. If you are not staying in a hotel but at an Airbnb or another similar service, you might be lucky, and there might be a device where you can play DVDs. It sounds outdated, we know, but it might also bring some great memories. And actually, many people believe that DVDs will make a comeback, so who knows, perhaps we will all be looking to get one.
