I’m excited to help you plan the best trips possible, and share all of my favorite travel resources that I use to plan my own travels!
Planning a trip can can be exciting, but it can also feel a little overwhelming with so many options for flights, hotels, and activities. Over the years, both as a passionate traveler and as a former travel advisor, I’ve discovered a set of travel resources that make every journey smoother, smarter, and more enjoyable.
Here you’ll find everything from booking platforms and accommodation sites to travel insurance, tour companies, and handy apps. Each recommendation is based on real experience, so you can spend less time stressing over logistics and more time enjoying the journey. Think of this page as your go-to guide whenever you’re ready to plan your next adventure.
These are the tools I personally use for every adventure — and that I also relied on when planning trips for my clients — whether it’s booking flights, arranging hotels, renting cars, or keeping my data secure while abroad.
Why These Travel Resources Are Useful
Each resource I rely on serves a specific purpose in making travel planning more efficient and stress-free:
- Flights & Accommodation: Tools that help you compare prices, find deals, and book hassle-free. You will notice that I give more than one option as sometimes airlines and hotels run promotions so it can be useful to compare several apps.
- Technical Essentials (VPNs & SIM Cards): Ensure secure internet access, avoid geo-restrictions, and stay connected wherever you go.
- GPS & Maps (e.g., GPSmyCity): Plan your days with offline city guides, download itineraries, and navigate confidently.
- Car Rentals: Reliable platforms that make booking vehicles straightforward, often with better rates than booking last minute.
These resources save time, reduce stress, and help me travel with confidence. They were indispensable when planning trips for my clients, and they’re just as useful for my personal adventures, especially when planning multi-stop trips, last-minute escapes, or exploring destinations that are new to me.
