Travel Resources

Skyscanner
From the beginning, Skyscanner has been my go-to for booking flights. It never fails when it comes to cheap flights, both domestically as well as internationally. You can filter between departure times, trip duration, and airlines. They even have hotels and car rental options. I’ll always be #teamskyscanner.
Southwest Airlines
Whew, I have nothing but great thing to say about southwest. This is my number one go-to airline for domestic travel. They offer two free checked bags and a free carry on, complementary snacks, allow early check-ins. For a bonus, southwest also travels internationally to a select few countries.
Google Flights
I have only used google flights a few times within my travel career and they have never let me down. Google Flights allows you to explore things to do, hotels, and vacation rentals. Google Flights is usually always the second site I check for cheap international flights.
Hopper
I have never used hopper before, but have heard nothing but great things about this app. According to Hopper, it has the awesome feature of claiming 95% accuracy for flight prices. It also monitors ticket prices for you. I am looking forward to using this app.

ACCOMDATION
Hotels.com
Hotels.com will always be my number one booking site for hotels. When you become a member, you get amazing savings, and you get a reward for every ten nights you stay. Since becoming a member, I have received several free night stays.
Airbnb
Vibes, Vibes, Vibes! Airbnb is my go-to when it comes to booking unique stays. Airbnb has several unique accommodations depending on your needs. From castles to beach homes, to tiny homes, Airbnb has something for everyone.
Booking.com
Booking.com is my second most favorite place to find cheap hotels. Booking.com has properties in 227 countries from luxury to budget. Booking.com has something for any travel style that you are looking for.
Rental Cars

Alamo
When it comes to renting a car, I ALWAYS choose alamo no matter the destination. When you become a member, they have incredible savings. I can always count on them for affordable transportation.
Hotel/Airbnb
If you are looking to opt out of renting a car, check with your hotel or airbnb for an airport shuttle or transportation from the airport.

PLANNING

Research Research Research
When planning any trip, research is key. Pinterest is my number one choice for planning a trip. Pinterest is filled with other bloggers who know first-hand what to expect when you arrive at you desired destination.

PLANNING
Currency Converter
Currency convertors are crucial when it comes to traveling internationally, certainly when you are unfamiliar with the exchange rate. I use My Currency Convertor & Rates because it features over 150 currencies. If you are into BitCoin, you’re in luck. My Convertor & Rates also supports BitCoin.
Amazon
Amazon is the first place I think of when shopping for tech gadgets for my international trips. Depending on the country, they may require a certain power outlet. Amazon provides access to this and more. From tech gadgets to clothes, look to Amazon.
Google Translate
Communication is key when traveling. Being able to understand and pronounce the language is important. I personally use google translate to translate the English language to over 100 other languages.
