If you like my favorite travel sites, hop over and check out my favorite travel gear and apparel, too. 

Travel Planning

Lonely Planet: One of my all-original favs. I use the practical country information and Thorn Tree Forum often. Also great for pictorial books!	Rough Guides: Another great informational site. Gorgeous photography. They have an interactive map feature, too, which is pretty cool.
Rome2Rio: Rome2Rio is my favorite logistical site. Need to get from Point A to Point B? This site will tell you all your options and all the prices.	Tripadvisor: I use Tripadvisor for everything. Their forums are super helpful, and I’m a big fan of their hotel rankings system.

Transportation

Bahn: I use Bahn for almost all of my train bookings in Europe. The site is extensive and they have great customer service.	Kiwi.com: A reputable flight booking site, though they really do everything. I love their Nomad travel tool, which allows for multi-city planning.
Google Flights: Google Flights is the perfect wanderlust site. Plot travel anywhere and see what time of year and what trip length is cheapest.	Orbitz.com: Another booking site for everything. Orbitz offers Orbucks rewards, which is nice when you’re trying to save money here and there.

Lodging

Agoda: Hotels, resorts, hostels and more. Get the best prices on 2 million+ properties worldwide.	Hotels.com: $100 cash back rebate with code REBATES20. Travel by 3/31/21.
Hostelling International: My fav hostel site for those budget trips. Save with their membership program.	Vrbo: Rentals for all your vacation needs—individual, family, small group, pet-friendly…

Vacation Packages

Gate 1 Travel: Love Gate 1 and highly recommend it. I like their independent trips, but I’ve heard really good things about their escorted tours, too.	TourRadar: TourRadar also has a lot of good deals, particularly in Europe. Younger, trendier, less expensive tour option. Flights not included.
Intrepid Travel: Intrepid usually has really good deals. Sustainability is very important to them! Please note that flights are not included.	Trafalgar: Higher-end tour company, if that’s your bag. Flights not included. Book a 2021 trip to Europe from the US and save up to 10%!
