My All-Time Favorite Travel Sites & Apps
Yay! I’m super excited to share my favorite travel sites and apps with you. This is me telling all and hoping that you still need me and my blog afterwards. Just remember the little people, okay? Yes, I 1000% use these sites regularly and know them all to be reputable, reliable companies. I stand by every recommendation on this listing. (Now including content creation resources as well!)

Flights
You’ve heard of Travelzoo and Going, but Dollar Flight Club is a secret goodie for cheap flights.
Sign up for Going‘s email list. Or buy Premium. One flight and you’ve got your money back.
Google Flights—duh. If you enter roundtrip info, it populates pricing on a calendar for you. Excellent.
Inspiration
DK Eyewitness Guides have lots of photos, cool walking tours, and even waterproof removable maps sometimes.
Duolingo is fun, easy to use, and—let’s be honest—who doesn’t love Duo, the owl? Ten minutes a day on the app.
It’s my favorite travel girl group everrr, Wanderful. Get one week FREE!
Planning
Bet you didn’t know Google Travel even existed. But it doooes! I like it for attractions info, website, hours, etc.
Rome2Rio is my all-time favorite logistical site. All your options and prices for getting from Point A to Point B.
My two favorite things on Tripadvisor are their hotel rankings and their travel forums. Both are money.
Lodging
Hostelling International is definitely my fave site for budget trips. Save with their membership program.
I rock hard with Hotels.com. Get free stays, free upgrades, and even free bottles of welcome wine!
Selina‘s been coming in hot for the past few years. Think upgraded, co-working hostel space with room service.
Tours
Use Big Bus Tours to get a general idea of your city, and then use it for transportation the rest of the day!
Gate 1 Travel for group tour deals. Drop Jordan Campbell and #751380 to get $50 off your first booking.
Viator is hands down my go-to for any day tours I plan during my travels. Never had a bad experience.
Practical Information
Visit the CDC’s Travelers’ Health page for vaccination requirements and health advisories. (Yes, get vaxxed.)
Department of State for travel advisories, visa requirements, country information, laws and customs.
I always check WHO for a gut check or when I have additional questions the CDC site couldn’t answer.
Content Creation
Create those pesky campaign reports in just minutes with InfluenceKit. Automatically updates. Love it.
After testing a bagilliondy social media schedulers, I finally found Later. And I’m not turning back.
Cheap stationery is a no-no if you want to convince brands you’re a serious creator. Up your game with Moo.
If you’re a creator, you’ve seen them everywhere. And for good reason. Stay22 has done wonders for my affiliate income.
Get a lifetime Ubersuggest subscription for $299. Includes keywords, site auditing, and even an AI writer.
Financial
Get up to 125,000 miles just for signing up! That’s a free international flight. You can just ignore the annual fee because you get it all back in benefits and then some.
I tried Intuit Quickbooks, and both the interface and the customer service were beyond awful. Wave is way more intuitive for us non-financial brains. Highly recommend.
