Resources
I can’t wait to help you plan the perfect trip. So I wanted to share all my favorite travel links and resources. I am not sponsored by any of the companies, so you can be sure you’re getting my honest opinion. I hope these travel resources help you as much as they’ve helped me.
Flights
Google Flights
Google Flights is my go-to flight search tool. I always start my search here to see what flights are available. Then I check airline websites and other tools to be sure I get the best deal.
Skyscanner
Skyscanner searches for the cheapest flight options to your destination. They do all the hard work for you so you don’t need to worry about planning.
Going
Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) is the perfect website if you have flexible travel dates and destinations. You just choose your departure location and then wait to receive flight deals in your inbox.
ITA Matrix
ITA Matrix is a software used by many travel agencies and airline websites. In fact, Google Flights uses this software itself. But if you go straight to the source, you can get more complete search results.
accommodation
Airbnb
Need a vacation rental? Whether it’s an apartment, luxury beach house, or a couch to crash on, Airbnb has got you covered.
HostelWorld
HostelWorld is the only place to go for hostels. It has reviews on thousands of hostels. Not to mention, your booking is guaranteed and no booking fee is required.
Booking.com
Booking.com has the largest collection of properties all over the world. Whether you’re looking for a luxury hotel or an affordable hostel, Booking.com has it. So it’s the perfect place to start your search.
HotelsCombined
HotelsCombined compares rates from all of the top search sites, so it’s a great site to search for discounted rates on hotels.

Protect against the unexpected. Travel insurance will cover any lost luggage, theft, emergency medical care, and illness. Don’t leave without it.

Rome2Rio is the ultimate tool for getting around. It will tell you how to travel by bus, train, plane, or boat, and how much it will cost. What else could you ask for?
