Nomad Launches New European eSIM Plans for Hassle-Free Travel

niceuser — Wed, 21 May 2025 10:03:01 +0000

Santa Clara, CA 21st May 2025 – Nomad, the global eSIM marketplace and business line of LotusFlare, today announced a refreshed suite of European eSIM data plans that deliver instant, contract-free connectivity in more than 40 countries across the continent.

The launch widens Nomad’s portfolio of pay-as-you-go mobile data products and addresses the high roaming costs that still affect millions of international travellers.

Nomad’s new European line-up includes:

Extensive Coverage: Access to high-speed data in over 40 European countries, including popular destinations like France, Germany, Italy, and Spain
Flexible Data Options: Plans range from 1GB for short trips to 50GB for extended stays and multi-destinations, with prices starting as low as USD $0.96/GB
Easy Activation: Users can purchase and activate their eSIMs through the Nomad app or website, ensuring connectivity upon arrival
No Hidden Fees: All plans are prepaid, eliminating unexpected charges and providing transparency
Long-Stay Options: 90, 180, and 365-day passes aimed at business travellers, study-abroad students and digital nomads.

“Travelling should be about discovering new places, not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about bill shock,” said Sam Gadodia, Chief Executive Officer of Nomad. “Our updated European plans give travellers transparent pricing, 4G/5G speeds and the freedom to top up only when they need more data.”

Tackling roaming fees

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission notes that international roaming charges can reach US $20 per MB on some networks – equivalent to US $20,000 per gigabyte.

Nomad’s prepaid eSIMs eliminate these fees: travellers pay once in advance and monitor usage in real time inside the Nomad app or on getnomad.app.

Transparent pricing and simple activation

Plans start at US $0.96 per GB. After purchase, customers install the eSIM by scanning a QR code; the service activates automatically on arrival in Europe. No physical SIM swap or passport registration is required.

Limited-time launch incentive

Nomad offers a 30 per cent introductory discount on all European plans to mark the launch. The promotion is valid for one purchase per account until 23:59 PST on 31 August 2025 and can be redeemed with the code NOMADEUROPE30 at checkout.

Louis Sim, Marketing Manager at Nomad, added: “Whether you’re visiting Paris for a weekend or road-tripping across several countries, these plans were created to keep you online at affordable/competitively priced local rates while maintaining full control of your spending.”

UK Firefighters in 2,000+ Mile Humanitarian Convoy to Ukraine

niceuser — Tue, 20 May 2025 10:03:01 +0000

Odesa, Ukraine — Left Norwich 19 April 2025: After months of tireless fundraising in the UK, Japan, the USA, and coordinated international support from Norway, a team of serving and retired firefighters from Norfolk have successfully delivered two decommissioned fire engines to Ukraine. The mission culminated with a powerful water cannon salute upon their arrival in Odesa.

The humanitarian convoy, organised by the non-profit Actions Beyond Words (ABW), travelled over 2,000 miles through 7 countries— including France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland—before crossing into Ukraine at the Medyka border and heading to their first key destination: Uzhhorod.

The team – firefighters Chris Standley (Serving Watch Commander), Neil Day, Jamie Hodkinson, Stephen Bond, along with Brian Earley from the Diss & District Rotary Club -met up with Project Leader Simon Massey, founder of the non-profit Actions Beyond Words, at the ABW HQ in Medyka, Poland, along with Robin Yssen, a longstanding volunteer with ABW from Norway. Private donor and humanitarian volunteer, Jonathan Lubecky and also joined us overnight to meet up with the team.

Together, this team would hand over two fully equipped fire appliances, privately funded through donations & sourced from UK firm Angloco, with vital support from Operation Florian.

The first engine was delivered to Uzhhorod, but headed to the emergency services in Pylypets’, a remote Carpathian Mountain region comprising of nine villages. Under martial law, the main regional fire appliances had been repurposed, leaving the community with little more than Soviet-era or handheld equipment. The donation of these “pumps” [Fire Engines with water onboard and a pump system in the back that use hydrants or local free water sources]—along with vital training provided by the UK firefighters on the new equipment, ensuring they can deploy ASAP—restores a critical emergency service to thousands.

Following the first handover, the convoy travelled east to Podilsk, where the team reconnected with a school previously supported by Actions Beyond Words. There, they brought joy to hundreds of children—many of whom have only known life during wartime. The children explored the fire engines, tried on gear, and spent time with the British team in a rare moment of celebration and connection – even the teachers joined in! The team also toured the school shelters, used daily by nearly 1,500 students, offering a sobering insight into life under constant threat. Teachers Natalka Zaveruya and Inna Yefymova planned out the entire experience and we couldn’t be more proud. Firefighter Neil Day (retired) said, “I’ve done hundreds of school visits across my career but nothing compared to today.”

The final destination was Odesa, where the second fire appliance was delivered to the city’s fire and emergency services. Its arrival was marked with a stirring water cannon salute and heartfelt appreciation from local crews and officials.

The team also visited the skeletal remains of the Odesa Emergency Service Response Command and Control Centre, destroyed in a missile strike that obliterated 16 emergency service vehicles and over 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid. What remains is a rusted monument, almost a sculpture of horror: an ever-present reminder of the evil destruction and the immense ongoing need.

Simon Massey, founder of Actions Beyond Words, said:

“This was not just a delivery – it was a mission of solidarity. Firefighters in Ukraine are battling impossible odds, often with outdated or damaged equipment as a result of deliberate acts of aggression. These trucks are more than vehicles; they are lifelines. The journey of this convoy reflects the very best of international cooperation.”

This project was made possible thanks to the generous support of The Pomerleau Family Foundation – Burlington, WDRAC – Tokyo, Jonathan Lubecky – Private donor Washington DC, the Diss & District Rotary Club – UK, Operation Florian – UK, J W Vass Ltd – UK , SignForce – Norwich, West Brothers – Thetford, and Actions Beyond Words’ individual donors worldwide.

With Trucks 1 and 2 now in active service, Actions Beyond Words is urgently fundraising for Trucks 3 and 4, due for delivery in the next 6 weeks, heading into Kharkiv and beyond.

Global Report launched on 5th anniversary of COVID-19 calls for the creation of World Work Organization

niceuser — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 13:03:02 +0000

· 92% think governments are not doing enough to address change in work

· 46% think political / geopolitical issues are more present in the workplace now.

LONDON, UK. February 25th, 2025 – A new global report is set to be released on 10th March to mark the fifth anniversary of the world going into lockdown and calls for the creation of a new global body, The World Work Organization.

The United State of Work is edited by Julia Hobsbawm, Founder and CEO of the work trends network Workathon, and combines essays and analysis from some of the world’s leading players in future-of-work insight with new global research and a call to action to encourage countries to invest in a single institution akin to the creation of the World Health Organisation after the Second World War.

Julia Hobsbawm says: “Work unites us: each day 3.5 billion people work or are looking for work. Other than being born, dying, or searching daily on Google, more people work than they do anything else. What the world of work needs now is a new framework about how we govern, lead, and organise work.

“From the economy to climate to geopolitics to AI and of course, people, workplace, and culture, everything connects to work. Yet work is all too often seen in fragmented contexts, addressed in single-issue silos. Policymakers, executives, and leaders risk missing vital patterns and progress to learn from and act upon.

“2025 has echoes of 1945: A time of rebuild and re-imagination on a global scale is required around work and workplace issues. This is why, at Workathon, we’re setting up The World Work Organization (WWO) to encourage countries to invest in a single institution, which is dedicated to addressing work in all its complexity and which is above all human centric. We must unite around the challenges ahead in a totally different way to before.”

With a foreword by Professor Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University, The United State of Work is a report of two halves. The first is a literary flashback to March 2020 and frames its impact on working life with essays which explore trends, workplace, technology, wellbeing, leadership, and global attitudes.

Contributors include:

Peter Miscovich, JLL’s Global Future of Work Leader and Flore Pradere, JLL’s Head of Research, Global Work Dynamics on the 2020-2025 global transformation of work
Virginie Raphael on founding venture fund FullCircle for work; “Thinkers50”
Terence Mauri on Disruption (and Donald Trump)
Kevin J. Delaney, Editor-in-Chief and Founder of Charter on How America Works Today
Melis Abacıoğlu of Wellbees and Tom Redmayne of Industrious on well-working workplaces
Vicky Pryce on being an economist in lockdown
Brian Elliott of Work Forward and Ben Page of Ipsos on the great RTO debate
Harriet Pellereau of Mind over Tech and Emma Thwaites of The Open Data Institute on tech’s new challenges
Phil Kirschner of PK Consulting on change management
Stefan Stern, management writer and co-host of The Nowhere Office on voices of work from the pandemic
Paul Brannen, former MEP on Biophilic offices: Wood and Work.

The second half presents early findings of a 12-country study looking at patterns in global work post-pandemic, and US/UK white collar research which highlights concerns around government policy, workplace conflict and AI adoption are also included. Lead researched by Katy Scott.

In the final essay, Workathon’s William Corke explains why the way we research work has to change and Julia Hobsbawm argues for a comprehensive reframing of work; explains why “The United State of Work” is not to be confused with The United States of America, and provides a detailed argument for why we need a World Work Organization.

The United States of Work is Workathon’s first published report and will be published on Monday 10th March 2025 online. Pre-order the report here.
