Travel Resources

Booking.com is our first choice for booking accommodation worldwide. There are over 1 million trusted reviews and include properties like hotels, hostels, guesthouses  & apartments. The best part is a lot of the hotels offer free cancellation until just a few days before your scheduled date. Click here to get $15 off your first booking.

Airbnb is our prefered method of accommodation when we’re looking for homes or a private room. By renting homes, you can often experience a more local approach to a city. In some cities, renting a private room can often be cheaper than hotel rooms. Click here to receive $40 off your first booking.

Agoda is another popular accommodation platform that is used widely, especially in Asia. Agoda offers some regional deals you won’t find on any other platform.

In the early days, all we stayed in were hostels, therefore Hostel World was our go-to booking site. It’s easy to use, has 1000’s of trusted reviews from fellow backpackers and you’ll find hostels for as low as $5 a night.

World Nomads has had our back for the duration of our travels with easy to use claim forms & quick responses from the customer service team. Their policies cover everything from medical to lost baggage and flight cancellations/delays. Always be sure to read the fine print on your policy!

Momondo is our prefered search engine when booking flights & car rentals. They consistently have the cheapest prices with over 700 different providers.

Skyscanner has made looking for flights easy! Not only does it allow you to book flights with no hidden fees, but you can also compare the cheapest days or even months to travel as well as add flight alerts to stay up to date with any flight cost changes.

Google Flights is another powerful flight search engine especially if you’re unsure where to go! By selecting your home city or the city you’re currently in, you can easily see prices to anywhere in the world. Although this site does provide you with many different airlines (mainly the major airlines), take note that it doesn’t always give the cheapest fares and the price often changes when you click through to the direct airline’s website.

Uber is a worldwide taxi service that offers cheaper fares than regular taxis. By using the app you can request a taxi in seconds, track your driver and pay via the app. No need to carry cash! They also offer food UBER eats. We’ve found UBER to be very reliable and extremely available worldwide. Sign up to receive $20 off your first ride.
