For culinary content creator and globetrotting chef Ina Bilbao, staying connected isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity.

Whether she’s navigating the bustling food markets of South Korea or live-posting from a Michelin-starred pop-up in Taiwan, Ina’s digital presence is as vibrant as her dishes. In this exclusive feature, she shares how Smart Roaming keeps her seamlessly connected, productive, and worry-free while traveling the world.

For Ina, connectivity is non-negotiable. “Before I head out on any international trip, I make sure I’ve pre-booked a Smart Roaming package,” Ina shares. “It’s always one of the first things I do because I know that as soon as I land, I need to be instantly connected to everything—from maps and apps to staying in touch with my team back home.”

One of the biggest challenges for frequent travelers like Ina is managing data usage without falling into the trap of bill shock. “It’s so easy to get caught up in the excitement of a new place and forget to keep track of data usage,” she says. “A Smart roaming package always helps me make sure I’m not running into any unexpected data charges.”

Smart GigaRoam’s transparent pricing and real-time data usage tracking help Ina stay in control, even in the busiest travel moments.

As a culinary explorer, Ina’s work depends on her ability to stay connected. “I’m always on the lookout for new spots to try, whether it’s a local hidden gem or a pop-up restaurant,” she explains. “I use navigation and transportation apps to get around, access e-wallets to pay for meals, and I’m constantly updating my social media for my followers.”

With Smart Roaming, Ina never misses a beat—or a bite.

Ina’s top tip for business owners and frequent flyers? “Never leave your connectivity to chance. Pre-book a Smart Roaming package so that the moment you land, you’re already online. Connectivity is the backbone of staying productive while traveling.”

She also recommends being mindful of data-heavy apps and checking usage regularly through the GigaRoam portal.

Having tried other roaming services in the past, Ina is confident in her choice. “Nothing beats the convenience and peace of mind that comes with Smart Roaming. The packages are affordable, and I never have to worry about my service dropping or getting hit with crazy bills.”

And if issues arise? “Smart Roaming’s customer support is always quick to respond. I can troubleshoot through the GigaRoam portal or check my phone settings to resolve things fast.”

For Ina, staying connected means more than just convenience—it’s about sharing her culinary journey in real time.

Chef Ina Bilbao’s recipe for stress-free travel? A dash of planning, a sprinkle of tech-savvy, and a generous helping of Smart Roaming. Whether you’re a business traveler, content creator, or simply someone who values staying connected, her story is a reminder that with the right tools, the world is truly at your fingertips.

Canon announced the new imagePROGRAF TC-21, successor to the imagePROGRAF TC-20 compact desktop large format printer. As a step up, the Auto Sheet Feeder (ASF) in the imagePROGRAF TC-21, has been enhanced to meet varied printing needs such as production of publicity materials, architectural and design drawings.

The printer’s tiltable panel and flexibility in installation location improve the user experience as adjustments can be made easily. For the first time ever, a large-format printer in the imagePROGRAF series has recycled steel in a part of its body, making it more environmentally friendly.

Tiltable Operation Panel for Easier Viewing

For the imagePROGRAF TC-21, it is designed to be as space-saving as possible. For example, print-related operations like the paper set and ink filling can be performed from the front of the printer. In addition, it has a tilt-type operation panel that provides comfortable and enhanced usability as the angle can be adjusted according to the user’s preferences. Even if the imagePROGRAF TC-21 is installed on a low shelf, users will still find it easy to operate.

Wide Range of Media Sizes and Types

With its versatile media handling capabilities, the imagePROGRAF TC-21 not only supports printing from A1+ roll paper, but also other types of media like A3 and A4 sizes, postcards, envelopes and labels fed via an auto sheet feeder. It can also adapt to printing the same content in different sizes, such as an A1 scale drawing for submission, an A4 drawing for review, a large poster for a restaurant menu and an A6 or postcard-sized flyer for table placement.

Printing Enhancements

The “Minimal Margin Printing” function allows users to print on roll paper with no top and bottom margins, with minimal margins on the left and right sides. The imagePROGRAF TC-21 adopts the image processing method like the higher-end model to print posters in vivid colours even on plain paper, thus making the creations more impactful. The high-capacity ink tank in the imagePROGRAF TC-21 also enables efficient printing and reduces the time required for ink refiling. To express their creativity, users can utilise the free software, “PosterArtist” to create posters and flyers that help bring their vision to life.

Environmentally Friendly Materials

As part of efforts to care for the environment, approximately 5% recycled steel and 40% recycled resin were integrated into certain parts of the printer’s body. In addition, the product packaging is made of recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene foam. With high environmental performance, the TC-21 has been registered as a gold product under U.S. environmental assessment system EPEAT.

KnowBe4, the world-renowned cybersecurity platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management, today offered key travel safety tips tailored to address cybersecurity threats targeting travelers this summer.

As travelers prepare for their summer getaways, cybercriminals look for ways to exploit security gaps in travel plans. The increase in social engineering scams, public WiFi vulnerabilities and emerging mobile device threats highlights the critical need for proactive protection measures. KnowBe4 is offering advice to help travelers lower their cyber risk exposure while on vacation. 

KnowBe4’s top seven summer travel cybersecurity tips include:

1. Beware of Impersonation Scams: Be skeptical of vacation-themed phishing, unexpected booking confirmations or too-good-to-be-true deals. Verify all unexpected communications from travel providers through official channels, not via links in emails or texts.
2. Verify Wi-Fi Networks Before Connecting: Confirm the legitimate network name with staff and use a VPN for an added layer of protection. Fake hotspots are a common tactic used by hackers in airports, hotels and cafes.
3. Implement Advanced Device Security: Beyond strong passwords, enable biometric and multifactor authentication, device tracking and remote wipe capabilities before departing. Device theft remains a primary cause of data breaches during travel.
4. Protect Against Emerging Device Threats: Be cautious of potential vulnerabilities in smart devices like luggage and travel gadgets. Regularly update device software and use reputable brands to enhance security.
5. Back Up Essential Data: Maintain backups of travel documents and critical data. In case of device theft or loss of power, having access to this information will prevent disruptions in your plans.
6. Limit Social Media Sharing: Avoid posting real-time updates about your travel plans to reduce the risk of being targeted for social engineering. 
7. Monitor Your Accounts: Keep an eye on your bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions.

“No matter how far we travel, cybercriminals remain closer than we think,” said Erich Kron, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4. “While it’s easy to let your guard down during a trip, keeping cybersecurity at the forefront can prevent your vacation from being derailed by scams or cyberattacks. With these holiday tips, KnowBe4 aims to equip travelers with practical tools and actionable knowledge to navigate today’s digital landscape securely.”
