Book a Flight!
google flights
Google flights is the first place I go to find cheap flights. You can easily compare prices, dates and airlines to find the best deal for your next flight, whether you have a destination in mind, or use the explore option to see prices for different destinations on the map.
Skyscanner
Skyscanner is another great tool to find cheap flights anywhere in the world. Use their price alerts to help you get the lowest prices available on any airline.
Don’t forget Data!
Instead of buying physical SIM cards for data when travelling, I use Airalo eSIM. It’s convenient, affordable and easy to download and activate before you arrive. Just make sure your phone is eSIM compatible before you purchase.
Transportation
Welcome Pickups
Need a ride from the airport or to your hotel? Arrange with Welcome Pickups to take you right to your hotel so you can start your trip without having to worry about figuring out transportation when you land.
DiscoverCars
We often rent a car when travelling, so that we have a bit more flexibility and are able to get to some of the off-the-beaten-path spots. I use Discover Cars, an online aggregator that finds the best rates.
Booking Accommodations
Booking.com
Booking is our primary way of finding accommodations when we travel. It offers a wide range of options, from hotels to apartments, and even some cabins and cottages for a more private stay. And there’s detailed reviews to help you make the perfect choice for your stay – plus, many accommodations have flexible cancellation policies.
Expedia
Expedia is another great platform for finding low rates on accommodations. They have a wide range of options to choose from, including hotels, resorts and vacation rentals to fit any style of travel.
booking tours
Viator
Viator is a great place to book tours that are run by locals throughout the world. You’ll find experiences like day trips to Triglav National Park in Slovenia, boat tours to the Coast of the Gods in Tropea, Italy, or tours to Karlstejn Castle outside of Prague.
Get Your Guide
Get Your Guide is another great place to find fantastic experiences when you travel. Find skip-the-line entrance tickets, walking tours with local guides, day trips, airport pickups or even longer multi-day tours with local guides.
