9€ for 20GB and it works everywhere in Europe? That sounds like an amazing deal. Can you tell me which provider you're using?

I Googled around and found this:
>Giga International: 9 € - including 20 GB data valid for 28 days. The activation fee is 5 € and the SIM card is 9 €, making the total cost 25 € for the first month and 9 € for subsequent months. This offer is only for customers with foreign citizenship.

Hey, I'm bouncing between Madrid and Valencia. Would be great to meet up!
Email is in profile :)
> How much was the initial cost of the van?
I bought the van for 7.000 Euro.
> How did you maintain your internet connection?
I'm working with 4G. Works perfect all most everywhere in Europe! I use a pre-paid Italian SIM-Card that I can use all over Europe. It costs me 9 Euros for 20 GB. I usually need around 30 to 50 GB a month. So it's roughly 20 Euros per month.

> What would you say is the biggest struggle?
I'm currently in Madrid. Living the van life in big cities is more challenging. Especially if you don't want to stay in the suburbs. I plan to write a article about my city experiences in Madrid soon.
