Plan Your Travels

Here are the resources I use to plan and book my travels, and I want to help you to plan your travels too. If you choose to do so through this site, I get a small commission which goes towards running this site and there’s no extra cost to you.

ONLINE VISAS

IVisa is a good resource to check and apply for online visas if you’re eligible for them depending on where you’re traveling. Some countries you can apply to are Vietnam, Turkey, Malaysia, China, India, Cambodia and Sri Lanka.

FLIGHTS

Skyscanner has been my trusted go-to flight search engine and booking app for years. Dollar Flight Club is also great for finding flight deals to destinations all over the world from your home airport with fares as low as $316 from the US to Italy roundtrip.

HOTELS

I usually check and compare accommodation prices on Booking.com. But you can also browse hotels and apartments on Hotels.com which sometimes offers reward credits that you can redeem later on another trip.

Check and compare car rental rates before you book on AutoEurope which is a one-stop site for rental cars across Europe and worldwide. You can also check RentalCars for great rates in locations worldwide. DiscoverCars is another option if you want to do a thorough comparison.

TOURS

Though my usual travel style is independent, sometimes tours make sense, if you’re going somewhere that’s hard to get to, is expensive to visit on your own, or when you don’t have the time to plan. Browse short and long tours, trips and day trips offered by G Adventures.
