accommodation
& info
Accommodation needs and travel tastes are personal but these resources can help you make the right choices
When I need information on the next town I am visiting I always check out Lonely Planet Guides so I don't miss a detail.
I am a little picky of where I stay whilst I am travelling.
Mainly, I cast the most judgement on the "sleeping" situation as I am not the best at getting shut eye.
So I always look for a decent bed, then depending on the length of stay, the kitchen. A big part of travelling is cooking, to keep your budget down and also because going out every night can ruin the whole experience eventually. Plus, buying and eating the local produce is the best way to support the community you are visiting.
What I like is not everyones cup of tea, so here are some great options to check out for your travels that will keep costs down and help you make some great connections around the planet.
Find hotels at the best prices around the globe. The traveler’s first and independent source of information for finding the ideal hotel at the lowest rate.
Flights
Great sites to find cheap flights to take you around the world...
One of the best things in life is finding great flight deals!
Saving money on flights means more ways of spending your hard earned dollars during your trip.
Check these great sites out for the BEST flight deals all year round.
Hot tip - If you are flexible with dates and love a bit of spontaneity than you will find the bargains.
Try to take your trips during normal "work" times during the year as most people travel over christmas and get stung with expensive flights and accommodation.
All the best deals are during the "down seasons".
If you do not have a specific date set this search engine can show you the awesome possibilities out there and some pretty mind blowing deals.
One of the most popular travel sites and for good reason. Expedia always comes up with great deals.
Another heavy hitter in the travel world and again for a very good reason. You will always find great flight comparisons and accommodation bargains.
