This is where I share all of my best resources. These are companies and products that I use on a daily basis.
Wanderlust Resource Guide
AIRFARE
Skyscanner
Skyscanner is a great site to check the best deals on flights. You can use the explore feature if you’re flexible on dates and destinations.
Google Flights
Google flights is also great for this. I especially love to use this for multi-city flights.
TRANSPORTATION
Auto Europe
If you’re renting a car in Europe, I always choose Auto Europe for the best rates and location options.
Rail Europe
If you plan on using trains frequently in Europe, I highly recommend getting a rail pass through Rail Europe.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Airbnb
We’ve used Airbnb all over the world and love opportunities to stay in unique places and live like a local. You can get $55 off your first stay!
Booking.com
If I’m looking for hotels rather than Airbnbs, I use Booking.com. It’s a great site that includes hotels and guest houses.
TOUR COMPANIES
Get Your Guide
I use Get Your Guide for most of the tours and tickets I book. They have a great site with some of the best prices.
Airbnb Experiences
If you’re looking for a unique tour, cooking class, or experience, you can now book them through individual locals on Airbnb
Take Walks
I love the tours that Take Walks offers, from guided history tours to cooking classes, there is something for everyone around the world.
TRAVEL & GEAR
World Nomads Travel Insurance
It’s always wise to have Travel Insurance no matter where you go. You just never know what could happen and the peace of mind is worth it. I use World Nomads for all of my trips.
REI Gear
I love REI. You can get almost any outdoor gear you need at REI. I love that you can buy used gear there too! Such a great thing for the environment. Their stuff is high quality and it lasts.
Lonely Planet Guidebooks
I’m a big fan of online resources (obviously), but I do love a good guidebook. I think Lonely Planet has some of the best!
Especially for Kids – Go Whee App
The Go Whee App is a great resource for families all over the world. Advice submitted by real families. You can search with filters like price, age, amenities, etc.
