Travel Resources

After blogging for seven years and traveling my entire adult life, I thought it would be helpful for others to see my recommended resources–where I get the best deals and favorite items for smooth travel.

Airbnb

Airbnb

This site is my go-to resource for vacation rentals. Renting a house or apartment is often the best type of accommodation, especially if you are traveling as a family and a kitchen is important to you. After using others like VRBO, I have found that more people rent their places out on Airbnb, so it seems that Airbnb has the best selection. Click here for $40 off your first stay with Airbnb.

Booking.com for the best hotel rates:

Booking.com is a leading site for deals on all types of accommodations, from hotels and B&Bs to villas and guest lodges. They also have a best price guarantee, so you can be sure you’re finding the best deal on this site.

Chase Rewards card:

I did a lot of research before getting a credit card with travel rewards, and this card is an excellent choice. The rewards are easy to use to pay for airplane tickets, hotels, and many other things, even cash back. Find out more about how I use this card to save money on family travel.

Eagle Creek Luggage & Travel Supplies

I love my Eagle Creek packing cubes and travel pillow. The packing cubes have changed my packing completely–they keep me organized and reduce the amount of space things take up. I use extra packing cubes for shoes and dirty laundry. Really, they make a big difference and are totally worth the price.
