Travel Resources
To get good value for money and travel more, you need to have great travel resources. This page lists a bunch of websites and services that I personally use when planning and booking my trips.
Accommodation Booking
Booking.com
Offering more than 800,000 hotels, hostels and apartment worldwide. They also have a free cancellation policy and a best price guarantee.
Airbnb
Find unique home’s and apartments all over the world. It’s a great way to live like a local and save some money compared to traditional hotels. I even have $25 of free credit off your first stay.
Hostelworld
The Best Hostel booking website, I use this to search and book all of my hostels when backpacking around the world.
Finding Flights
SkyScanner
Skyscanner is my favorite flight search engine. With great search options allowing you to search from locations to “Everywhere” it’s a great way to find cheap flights. Head over to my Cheap Flights Page for more tips on finding a bargain flight.
Expedia
Expedia is one of the biggest online travel companies. With lots of options to search for flights and hotels. I usually check them as well as SkyScanner when looking for budget flights.

The ultimate guide to finding train travel anywhere in the world. Lots of information on times, routes and prices. If you are planning a train journey anywhere in the world this should be your first stop.
Volunteering

Looking to extend your trip by volunteering in a hostel or farm. With lots of listings in many countries.Workaway is my favorite website for finding volunteer opportunities when travelling.
HelpX
Similar to WorkAway, HelpX is another volunteer website great for finding placements in farms, hostels, B&B’s and anything in between.
