As a frequent traveler, I know how much work goes into planning and finding the best deals for your trip so I created this travel ressources page to help you save time and money! Some of the travel resources in this article contain affiliate liks where I earn commission from qualifying purchases at no cost to you and I only recommend products and services I use and trust.
Flights
This platform is the best when looking for cheap flights, it also includes some budget airlines which get missed on other sites to get you the best deals.
Expedia is one of the biggest online travel agencies for booking flights. It offers the advantage of bundling flight, hotel, and car deals so you don’t have to go through the headache of looking separately.
Accommodation
VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner) is similar to airbnb but it is the best place to book cabins, beach houses and cottages whether they are on the luxury side or more traditional. It is especially a great resource if you are traveling with a large group or if you like having space. VRBO also has one of the most competitive prices on the market.
Booking is a reliable platform when it comes to boutique, good values and luxury hotels. The website has one of the largest inventory in the market even for less visited places. Hot tip: It is sometimes good to cross check with Agoda which offers great deals at times, especially for accommodations in Asian countries.
Getting around
Auto Europe is one of my favorite platforms for planning road trips around Europe. The company is reliable and offers the opportunity to get the best deals out of different car rental companies.
Among car rental companies, Sixt usually offers great deals, specifically while traveling in Norway, it is one the cheapest.
Trainline is a super easy to use interface where you can book trains and buses all across Europe, even for very long distances. It is a great one stop portal so make sure you book your ticket well in advance to get the best value fares.
Travel assurance
World Nomads is one of the most reliable travel insurance on the market with good customer service which is super important. You also have the possibility to purchase or extend your policy at any time, anywhere in the world.The best part is that they also cover some of our favorite adventure activities.
Chapka is available for European and Swiss citizens and they offer different
insurance contracts for many type of trips, including long term:
→ Cap Aventure: insurance for your world tour or long trip more than 3 months
→ Cap Assistance 24/7: the assistance and repatriation insurance for your trips
shorter than 3 months;
→ Cap Working Holiday: working Holiday insurance for your stay abroad;
