BOOKING.COM

We have been using Booking.com for years.  When we took our 6 week trip to Europe it helped us keep track of all our reservations all in one place so that we knew we weren't left without a room.  Free cancellations on most reservations which gives you peace of mind when plans change. Most of our posts with accomodations links throughout our blog and podcast will be with Booking.com because that's who we use.

KLOOK.COM

Klook is a trusted travel booking platform that lets you discover and reserve activities, tours, attraction tickets, local transport, and unique experiences around the world—all in one place. Known for its convenience and frequent discounts, Klook is a favorite among travelers looking to simplify trip planning with mobile vouchers and instant confirmation options. We have recently discovered KLOOK is using it to book attractions and transportation in Singapore & Hong Kong for our upcoming trip.

VIATOR

We have been using Viator for years.  When we took our 6 week trip to Europe we booked ALL our cruise excursions using Viator and it saved us 50% off what the cruise was charging with a guarantee to get back to the ship in time.  Free cancellations on most reservations  which gives you peace of mind when plans change or when you find a different tour.  I've also done tours by myself through Viator in Portugal. I was able to explore additional areas of Portugal and meet new people thanks to Viator. 

FLYKITT

We've had a Jet Lag Process for a while now but during the past year, Flykitt is our go to Jet Lag Solution. It's so easy to use, just enter your flight details and follow the app then say GoodBye to JetLag. We won't be traveling internationally without FlyKitt ever again!

DISCOVER CARS

We've typically been loyal to one Car Rental Company for all our travels. Still, recently, they didn't have cars available (or they were costly), which left us looking elsewhere for vehicles.

DiscoverCars.com is an online platform that enables travelers to search, compare, and book car rentals from various providers worldwide.  It works with hundreds of car rental agencies (both big global brands and local ones) across many countries, showing all mandatory fees upfront so there are fewer surprises at pick‑up (whew)!
