Planning a trip often means opening several different websites to search for flights, accommodation, transportation and activities. I created this page to help you book your trip and keep useful booking platforms in one place.
Flights
Search and compare flights for your next trip through Expedia.
Accommodation
The right accommodation depends on your budget, who you are traveling with and what kind of trip you are planning.
Hostels are ideal for solo travelers who want to meet people. They also usually offer some of the lowest prices. You can search and compare hostels on Expedia or Hostelworld:
Hotels are a good choice if you value comfort, privacy and convenience.
Apartments and vacation rentals work especially well for families, groups and longer stays. Having a kitchen can also help reduce food expenses.
Guesthouses and homestays often feel more personal and are a good way to experience local hospitality.
Not sure which option is right for you? Read my guide on how to choose the right accommodation for your trip.
Mobile Internet and eSIM
Having mobile internet as soon as you arrive makes it easier to use maps, check public transportation, contact your accommodation and stay connected while traveling.
An eSIM can be a practical alternative to buying a local SIM card, especially if your phone supports it. You can choose and install your data plan before the trip, then activate it when you reach your destination.
Before purchasing a plan, check whether your phone supports eSIM and compare the available data, validity period and network coverage for your destination.
Insurance
The right travel insurance depends on your destination, the type of trip you are planning, and the activities you intend to do. Before choosing a policy, check what is covered and whether it suits your specific travel plans.
World Nomads offers simple and flexible travel insurance. Buy at home or while traveling and claim online from anywhere in the world.
We receive a fee when you get a quote from World Nomads using this link. We do not represent World Nomads. This is not a recommendation to buy travel insurance.
Rental Cars
Even though I have a driving licence, somehow, I don´t drive. But I know a rental car can be useful when public transportation is limited or when you want to explore places outside the main cities. So I would use this opportunity to say thank you to all my friends for driving me trough the years.
Things to Do
I don’t always book a tour. I like exploring spontaneously and at my own pace. I also love reading about the legends and stories of the places I visit—who would have guessed?
However, I find tours very practical for day trips, especially in places without good transportation or when visiting a culture that is unfamiliar to me.
GetYourGuide and Viator offer tours, attraction tickets, day trips and other activities around the world. It is worth checking both platforms because their selection and prices can differ.

Vacation Packages and Cruises
Booking a flight and accommodation together can sometimes be more convenient and may also offer a better price. Expedia also has vacation packages and cruises for travelers who prefer to organize everything in one booking.
