HOSTELWORLD
For budget accommodations, Hostelworld is by far my favorite site – make sure to download the Hostelworld App too! The website/app is extremely user-friendly and makes finding cheap accommodations in any part of the world a breeze. This platform has hostels and boutique hotels available to reserve with many dorm-style rooms and private rooms. Search by location and date to find your perfect affordable lodging. Make sure to take advantage of the reviews left on each accommodation option, as this is very helpful in determining the experience you might have while staying there. It also helps to give an initial sense of the locations of where many hotels are located.
Booking.com
One of the many services on Booking.com is accommodations. It provides an easy way to find a complete list of accommodations for your desired location and dates. It also is easy to see reviews, and prices and to book and manage your stays.
SEAT GURU
Especially for long flights, you most likely do not want to get stuck in a middle seat a seat that does not recline, or a seat with limited leg room. Well, Seat Guru is here for you – the go-to site for picking a seat on the plane. Enter your airline, flight number, and flight date, and a complete map of the plane to your destination will pop up. Hover on each seat, and it will tell you the pros and cons of each.
SKYSCANNER
Looking for flights? Skyscanner allows you to easily compare and book flights. Although it is convenient for any type of trip, my favorite time to use Skyscanner is when I have flexible travel dates or if I am unsure of where to travel to. By clicking the “search everywhere” option, it provides you with a list of places ranging from the cheapest to most expensive flights. Additionally, you can search for a full month of travel dates and it will show you the cheapest days to fly to your destination.
AllTrails
If you are looking to explore outdoor activities on your trip, utilize AllTrails. Simply search your desired location and a list of trails for hiking, biking, running, etc. will come up with helpful reviews, images, and maps. Make sure to download the app to explore on the go as well!
