Prepare For Your Trip
Travel Resources
I’ve been travelling for a long time (!) and have learned a thing or two about how important it is to use reliable travel resources. I’m sharing my favourite, thoroughly tested travel resources on this page to help make your travel planning a wee bit easier.
These are the companies I use personally to plan my trips. I update this page often, so you can be confident you’re reading about the best ways to plan your next trip.
Book Transport
Skyscanner
My go-to search engine for flights. You’ll find the best deals in one easy window and can set alerts to make sure you grab the lowest fares. Hello, savings!
Google Flights
I recommend Google Flights for its comprehensive flight search tools and helpful features like price tracking.
Kiwi.com
In my experience, Kiwi.com is one of the best travel resources for trips to remote places or multi-location trips, as you don’t have to book each leg of your trip separately.
💡 Tip: I always check Skyscanner and Google Flights for the best deals!
Book Tours & Local Experiences
Get Your Guide
My #1 place to book travel experiences and activities. You’ll discover guided tours, boat rides, foodie tours, skip-the-line tickets, city guides, and group tours – both large and small.
Viator
An online booking platform for tours, experiences, and activities. Check Viator for extensive activities within the United States & Canada. It’s one of the best travel tools out there!
TripAdvisor
In my experience, Kiwi.com is one of the best travel resources for trips to remote places or multi-location trips, as you don’t have to book each leg separately.
💡 Tip: You’ll get the most out of your experience on small group or private tours!
Book Accommodation
Booking.com
My #1 website for accommodation. I love the perks, customer service and flexibility to change or cancel bookings. I also love that they have accommodation options for all budgets!
VRBO
I much prefer VRBO to Airbnb – all the lovely accommodation options without those nasty extra fees! Take a peek – they have some seriously lovely properties!
Travel Essentials

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps keep your information safe online, protecting you from cyber attacks and hackers. A VPN is an essential travel resource.
