We have been traveling together for over 13+ years, from moving to a different country and settling in many cities and countless weekend trips. Over the years, we have used and loved some of these tools more than others.
Hope you like them as much as we do.

Accommodations
Booking.com
is an amazing resource to find hotel deals from various cities. Their user interface is simple and easy to follow. We are sure you will find room rates from budget to luxury range, all under one website. You don’t have to make a deposit to book a room + you can always reserve now and pay later.
Expedia.com
has an awesome inventory of hotels, tours, and vacation packages in North America & beyond. Expedia.com allows us to stack points & redeem them for free travel and hotels. You can sign up for their rewards points card.
Agoda.com
Need hotels in Southeast Asia or Oceania? Consider properties on Agoda.com. It is also a great resource for flights and transfers!
VRBO
VRBO is a great option to stay long-term or in unique accommodation.
HOTEL GUIDE
Need specific destination hotels and neighborhood guides?
Tours & Attractions Passes
We enjoy taking tours. We also enjoy exploring on our own. Who said you can’t combine both? Some cities are best explored with a guide and in some cities, you just gotta lose yourself to actually experience it.
For short guided tours, we LOVE GetYourGuide – no trip is complete without them! Their Europe selection is quite wider than any other tour providers out there.
Viator
Online tour sellers for passes, tickets, and tours in North America & beyond!
Klook
Use Klook for Swiss Travel Passes, attraction tickets in Asian cities, and more!
Multiday Guided Tours & Excursions
For multi-day tours, we choose Intrepid Travel or G Adventures. Both are small group tour providers and certified B companies.
GAdventures
Perfect for small groups, ages 18 to 35 years, mostly multi-share accommodation.
Intrepid Travel
Small-group tour for all ages, with mid to low-budget accommodation. Special cultural tours.
Getting Around
We try to use sustainable means of travel. And the way we move around in a city, from country to country matters. We limit air travel and renting a car overseas, and craft our itineraries using small group tours, and public transportation (buses, trains, ferries, etc.)
Busbud
We use Busbud to book buses in Europe and beyond. The site compares different operators – their schedules, and fares to give you the best deal!
Eurail
Perfect for Eurail passes, seat reservations, and EPIC seasonal deals.
Travel Insurance & Trip Advisor
Safety Wing
Travel insurance is so important. From protecting your trip against unforeseeable reasons, medical or work emergencies to flight delays and lost baggage, getting insurance is a must!
Trip Advisor
Compare destinations, attractions, hotels, restaurants, reviews, and more. Use TripAdvisor on your phone or desktop!
