QUICK TIPS FOR WHEN YOU TRAVEL

Where to find Hotel accommodations?

Use Booking.com or Expedia. Both will allow you to also search for flights and rental cars, so it can be a convenient one-stop shop for planning your trip.

Where to find affordable flights?

Skyscanner is my best option for finding cheap flights. It allows you to search for flights by destination, month, or even year. You can also set up price alerts and sign up for email notifications.

Where to find affordable hotel or hostel accommodations?

If you’re on a budget, Hostelworld is a great resource for finding hostels. Hostels are a type of accommodation that offer dormitory-style rooms, shared kitchens, and common areas. They’re a great way to meet other travellers and save money on your trip.
