Accommodation

Airbnb

When we are not house sitting, we rent an Airbnb for a month, so we can get 30-50% off! Vrbo is a great alternative for renting entire places.

Booking.com

We love Booking.com’s free loyalty program Genius which gives us a discount on every hotel booking. In Asia we often find deals on Agoda.

Hostelworld

Hostelworld is our favorite site for booking private rooms in hostels which are often a great, cheap and social alternative to hotels.

Tours + Activities

GURU Walk

Joining a free walking tour is our preferred first activity when we arrive in a new city. They are run by locals and full of hidden gems.

WITH LOCALS

We discovered With Locals in Vietnam and are using it ever since, especially when looking for food tours run by locals.

Get Your Guide

Whenever we look for local tours, skip-the-line tickets or unique experiences we check Get Your Guide. In Asia we mostly use Klook.

Transport + Navigation

Kiwi.com

We use Kiwi.com’s “Nomad” and “Multi-City” features to find the cheapest flights, often with bonus city stopovers at no extra cost.

Discovercars

For road trips or accessing remote areas, we use DiscoverCars.com to find, compare and book the best car rental deals in the area.

Alltrails

Alltrails is our go-to resource when looking for nearby hikes and walking trails. We love their detailed maps, hiking descriptions and reviews.
