Travel Resources

I usually start my airfare search with Expedia. Then I cross-check on other search tools to make sure I’ve found the best deals.

Priceline will find you all the best flight options for any destination. You can also find great hotel and car rental deals on this site.

Skyscanner consistently finds me the cheapest flights out there. It lets you search for specific dates or month-long ranges so you can find the days with the best deals.

FareDrop is an app that sends flight deals (sometimes up to 80% off flights!) directly to your phone or inbox. You tell the app your preferred airports, destinations, and price, and this app will find you the best flight deals!

Booking.com has a broad selection of locally-owned and boutique hotels, and reservations are simple and secure.

I always opt for a private room (which hostels have!), but I love that hostels give me the “built-in” option of easily joining group activities. For solo travelers, hostels can be the best of both worlds!

What I like best about Hotels.com is that I can search for B&Bs in addition to a wide range of hotels.

This is my go-to site for a girlfriends’ getaway and for when I want to experience a destination like a local!

Most people think Momondo is just for flights, but you can find some great car rental deals here!

RVshare is the Airbnb of motorhomes. You can rent RVs and Motorhomes directly from owners in your local area or at your destination.

ExpressVPN keeps your phone, tablet, and computer data safe when you connect to public WiFi. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and a VPN service is one of the best ways you can protect your data when you travel

Skyroam gives you unlimited WiFi in more than 100 countries for as little as $9 a day or $99 a month! Plus, you can connect up to 5 devices on it for the same price! Use my coupon code LUCYONLOCALE for 10% off!

Tripadvisor is one of my favorite sites for booking travel experiences. You’ll find fantastic tours and excursions, as well as helpful and honest reviews. Tripadvisor also lets you compare prices on hotels, flights, and cruises to find the best deals.

You can book almost any activity through GetYourGuide. From budget walking tours to luxury catamaran cruises, GetYourGuide can find you the perfect experience. Plus, most tours have free cancelation up to 24 hours before the excursion starts.

Roadtrippers is like a local electronic guide. It’s a road trip planner for the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The app lets you find “off the beaten path” places along your route. Roadtrippers has lots of pre-mapped routes and articles for you to start planning your trips, then you can customize and plan a trip from there! Roadtrippers Plus allows you to plan longer trips, use your maps offline, collaborate with family and friends, and check live traffic conditions. Use my code BTR5QTP to get $5 off!

Determining if I need a travel visa, and then figuring out how to get a visa are two of my least favorite parts of traveling. Getting a visa can be confusing and time-consuming, which is why I use iVisa! With iVisa, the travel visa process is simple and straight-forward because someone else takes care of it for you.

With CityPass, you can get discounted ticket packages for top attractions and sites in North America. CityPass can save you a lot of money if you’re planning on seeing multiple popular sites in some of North America’s largest cities, such as New York, Seattle, Chicago, Orlando, Atlanta, Toronto, and Southern California.

PrivateUpgrades is a members-only travel club that’s part of the Deluxetargets Group, an international tourism agency. PrivateUpgrades gives you exclusive upgrades, amenities, discounts, and promotions for luxury hotels around the world.
