Travel resources that I have used

Below are my favourite companies to use when I go travelling. They are always my starting point when I need to book a flight, hotel, tour, or train. These tools can streamline the planning process, save you money, and help you gain access to places and experiences you maybe hadn’t considered before.

Note that some of the links on this page are affiliate links that will earn me a small referral commission at no extra cost to you. 

  • Booking.com : The best all-around booking site. It constantly provides the cheapest and lowest rates and has the widest selection of budget accommodation. And they do flights and for a small fee, you have the option of cancellation which is great depending on the situation.
  • Saily Esim : If there’s one thing you should get before visiting a new country is an Esim. This is a great option for an online Esim. Saves you time and energy, and if you are staying in Indonesia for a longer period of time, this esim is a starting point till you get comfortable and get a local number.
  • Hostelworld : This is the best hostel accommodation site out there, with the largest inventory, best search interface, and widest availability.
  • Get Your Guide : This is a huge online marketplace for tours and excursions. It has tons of tour options in cities all around the world, including everything from cooking classes and walking tours to street art lessons!
  • SafetyWing : This site offers convenient and affordable plans tailored to digital nomads and long-term travelers. It has cheap monthly plans, great customer service, and an easy-to-use claims process that makes it perfect for those on the road.
  • Discover Cars : If you are planning to hire a car to travel around the city you are travelling to, Discover Cars is a car rental aggregator that can help you find the best deals for your next road trip. It pulls data from over 8,000 car rental locations to ensure you always find a great deal!
  • Ekta Traveling : This site offers huge vareity for travel insurance, and affordable plans as well, keeps your mind and health secure when traveling.
  • Airhelp : Should a delay or cancelation happened during your trip, this site can help you with the claims, for eg, in Europe you can claim up to 600 euros depending on the flight delayed length of time.

ABOUT COURTNEY (WhatsupCourtney)

Hey! I’m Courtney, UK-based travel and food traveler, writer and this website explores hidden gems, popular travel destinations and foodie finds.

How I Fund My Travels

You can start a small online income stream while you travel.

A lot of readers ask how travel bloggers actually make money. One way is running small online stores or digital products.

I tested a few platforms, and Shopify is the easiest one to set up and  it takes about 20 minutes.

You can try it here: Start your free Shopify trial

Stay Safe Online while You Travel

Public WiFi in airports, cafés and hotels can expose your personal data and hacking.

You need a VPN to help protect your connection and lets you access your favourite sites while abroad. I use NordVPN for security:
