Flights
Skyscanner is my go-to website to search for flights. As I travel next to my 9-5 job, I am not flexible with my dates to get the best deals. I love that I can select starting country and choose “Explore Everyhere” to find inspiration and cheap flight for my preferred dates.
Pro Tip: Once you select your flight, make sure to get it directly from the provider. This way, you will get the best service and support if your flights get delayed or cancelled.
Accommodation
No matter where I travel, I first check booking.com for accommodation. Genius 3 offers me deals, free-upgrades, and the best customer service.
Pro Tip: When you have long trips, stay at different locations. In this way, you can have more diverse experiences and get closer to achieving Genius 3 on booking.com.
I use Airbnb to find unique stays and experiences such as staying in a treehouse, or a castle in a beautiful European city. I love that they offer so many options to find inspiration stays.
Pro Tip: Make sure to check Airbnb Experiences to learn more about the local culture, hidden gems, and support small businesses. My favorites are local photoshoots.
When I started traveling Europe as a student, I always chose to stay at hostels, whether I travel solo or with a group of friends. Thanks to this experience I have friends all over the world.
Pro Tip: Hostels are usually the most affordable stays in the city centre. Next to shared rooms, some of them also have some double rooms with private or shared bathrooms.
My best helpers
I used airola first time during my UAE and Qatar trip. It was very easy to install, and reach an agent for any questions.
Pro Tip: Some countries have thougher regulation for esims. sometimes It is better to get local prepaid sim.
In the recent years, GetYourGuide has become my favorite platform to book experiences. I love that they have very clear descriptions of activities and also offer free cancellation options.
Pro Tip: If you see “Originals by GetYourGuide” tab, book it! It will not dissappoint.
