Find a Flight

Thrifty Traveler

I use Thrifty Traveler to find flight deals, mistake fares, and award availability without constantly searching on my own. Their alerts are especially helpful when your destination or travel dates are flexible.

Here’s a Tip!

I rarely book the first flight I find. I compare nearby dates, alternate airports, and both cash and points options before deciding which route offers the best overall value.

Book Your Experiences

GetYourGuide

GetYourGuide makes it easy to compare tours, activities, transportation, and skip-the-line tickets in destinations around the world. I use it when I want to see several options, read recent reviews, and keep reservations organized in one place.

Check out my FREE Packing guides!

What I pack changes dramatically depending on the destination. A safari, polar expedition, hiking trip, and luxury hotel stay all require completely different gear. I’m building practical packing guides based on what I’ve personally used, what worked, and what I would leave at home next time.

Where I Book Tours & Experiences

GetYourGuide

GetYourGuide is one of my go-to platforms for finding tours, activities, attraction tickets, and transportation in destinations around the world. I like being able to compare options, read recent reviews, and view cancellation policies before booking.

Local Operators

For wildlife experiences, photography trips, and destination-specific adventures, I often book directly with trusted local operators. I share the exact companies I used inside my individual destination guides whenever possible.
