MENU

Welcome to our travel resources section, a curated list of the best tools and booking sites to help you travel the world. Over the past 20 years of travel, we have used plenty of great companies, but we've also found many terrible ones in the process. Below you will find a list of the resources we return to time and again.

FLIGHTS

Kiwi

Kiwi

While most online tools will only show itineraries where all flights are on the same carrier or at least partner airlines, Kiwi does’t limit its search in that way. 

Skyscanner

Skyscanner

Skyscanner is always the second stop after Google Flights. If you’re flexible with your destination, their “Everywhere” search feature lets you look up the cheapest flight going anywhere in the world.

ACCOMMODATION

Agoda

Agoda

If you are travelling in South-East Asia, we have found Agoda to be most useful. They have established direct relationships for more hotels, hostels and guest houses than any other booking site in this part of the world and is by far our most used option when travelling in Asia.

Booking.com

Booking.com

If you are booking more traditional accommodations, i.e. hotels, hostels or holiday apartments, Booking.com should be your first stop. We use them all the time for ‘home-stay’ options in South East Asia as they have by far the best inventory worldwide, and hotels listed on the site are not allowed to sell rooms at a lower price elsewhere.

Hostelworld
