The companies I mention here are the same ones we use on our travels. We have tried them and they work well, they are usually the ones that offer the best quality price, and some of them have benefits for our readers.
Here we mostly use Booking.com, but if you’re going to Asia, you might want to check out Agoda; they have a great selection of accommodations. And if you’re looking for slightly chicer apartments, take a look at Plum Guides, very upscale.
We always travel with travel insurance, but after experiencing flight cancellations and Fer spraining his ankle skiing in the United States, it doesn’t even cross our minds to travel without travel insurance. I hope you don’t either, and don’t wait for your trip to get complicated to get it!
Chapka, Perfect for the Working Holiday Visa and the Schengen Visa, as well as for short trips.
Safety Wing, If you’re a nomad, it’s the best there is. It’s also suitable for short trips.
Activity Tours
If you’re looking for free tours in your language, Civitatis is the best option. But if they don’t have the activity you’re looking for, check out Get Your Guide and Viator, with thousands of activities in Spanish, English, and other languages. And if you’re going to Japan or other Asian countries, Klook is by far the best!
