Accommodation

Booking has become our go-to service when looking for a hotel to stay in, with its wide selection of locations, simple booking process, and often low prices. We also like how the more you use it, the better the discounts you get on your next hotel reservation. 

‍

Agoda is another excellent resource for finding hotels, particularly in Asia. On occasion, we compare prices from both services and book whichever has the lowest price. Agoda's prices are typically very competitive, and they also offer a number of special deals.

‍

Hostelworld is an excellent resource for finding hostels. It's a great platform for those looking for budget-friendly accommodation options, with a comprehensive list of hostels from around the world. It also offers detailed customer reviews and ratings to help you decide which hostel is best for you.

Transportation

12go.asia is a great platform for booking bus and train tickets in Asia. We like how easy it is to compare prices, schedules, and find the best travel deals.

Travel Insurance

Heymondo is our recommended travel insurance provider. Heymondo offers affordable and comprehensive coverage, making it an excellent choice for both short- and long-term trips. You can also download the app, which simplifies everything from filing claims to getting emergency assistance.

Tours and Activities

GetYourGuide is a fantastic platform for finding and booking activities. You can easily find and book various types of excursions, tours, and activities in locations all over the world at competitive prices.

‍

Viator is another site where we book our activities. Viator offers unique experiences and activities that go beyond what we typically find in traditional travel guides. 

‍

Tripadvisor is a great place to start if you're looking for reviews and ratings of attractions and other things to do in a destination. It can be a great resource with millions of reviews and ratings from users all over the world, but keep in mind that reviews are subjective and opinions may differ greatly.
