Travel Credit Card

When you are buying all of your necessary everyday things, why not save money on travel at the same time?I use the cheapest option with no annual fees: the Chase Freedom Unlimited.

Accomodation

Booking.com is a great travel resource to help with all of your booking needs. It includes both airfare and most bucket list stays. I also love VRBO for any rentals.

Traveler’s Insurance

Traveler’s insurance is a MUST have for all explorers! I have ran into several situations abroad where this saved my life (literally!). I’ve gotten cellulitis in India and had earrings surgically removed in Vietnam!

Welcome Pickups

Most of the time, I don’t rent cars but schedule transfers instead from the airport to your destination. Welcome pickups is a safe and reliable way to do just that!

Big Bus Tours

If you are in a popular city, these bus tours are flexible, easy, and cheaper than guided tours. Mulitple languages are supported and there are occasionally live guides.
