You can't use O2 data only sims abroad, so you'll need to look at offerings from other networks for your data requirements.

I no longer travel abroad but do visit quite a number of holiday destinations throughout the UK where the Wifi is poor.
I take my PC or tablet. I have a Huawei dongle which needs a sim. I don't use O2,
I bought the dongle about 4 years ago.
I buy a data sim from Amazon. I always buy a pre-loaded sim and find the 3 network gives me the best coverage IN THE UK.
You need to check that any data sim can be used abroad.

I have a TP-Link M7350 4G LTE Mobile Wi-Fi Router which works well, is inexpensive and is available from major retailers.
The Netgear Nighthawk series are very highly though of, but are far more expensive.
I have no experience of using such devices overseas.
