SafetyWing is one of the best health and travel insurances out there, and the one we recommend to all of our friends and family!
One of the things we love the most about SafetyWing is that their customer service has 24/7 real human support so you never have to go through a bot to get help β and it's easy to make a claim!
Last year, we made the switch to using an eSIM and we canβt believe how simple and easy it is to use!
With an eSIM, everything can be done on your phone before you leave for your trip, so the moment you touch down at your destination, youβll have reception.
There are many different eSIMs on the market, but we suggest using Airalo.
Priority Pass is one of the leading lounge passes β especially in Europe with more than 370 airport lounges across the continent and 1700+ lounges and experiences globally.
We're on the Standard Plus Plan which gives us 10 lounge visits a year for less than β¬300/year (which is a very similar price to buying a meal and a drink at the airport)!
Let's help you plan your next trip to..?
Are you trying to plan a trip but not sure where to start?
Do you want to explore the best of the destination without the stress of planning?
After travelling full-time for almost a decade, we feel like we've nailed down the planning process for new destinations β including how to find the most beautiful hikes, the best places to eat, the most breathtaking views, and the hidden gems.

We can't wait to help you plan your trip!
We use Booking.com all the time when planning our trips β and we've found great deals for both short and long-term accommodation.
What we really like about booking is that they have 3 different Genius levels. Once you reach a new level, you get discounts and free breakfasts at select hotels and places of accommodation.
Oftentimes when we book our place of accommodation, we will check both Expedia and Booking.com to see which platform offers the best accommodation at the best price.
Oftentimes, the two platforms match but some hotels are only on one of the two platforms β and sometimes they are on both but at different prices!
Even after 10 years of travelling, we still love a good hostel stay from time to time!
Sure, we don't stay in 8-bed dorms anymore, and we don't stay in hostels all the time β but occasionally, and in specific locations (like New Zealand), hostels can be so much fun!
We always book through Hostelworld.
When it comes to renting cars, there is one platform we use every time (no exceptions) and that is DiscoverCars!
We've used them to find car rentals in almost 10 different countries now, and they always have the best prices (like $3.3 a day in Crete + insurance).
We have never had an issue with DiscoverCars and we highly recommend them!
If you don't drive, or simply just prefer taking public transport, Omio is a great app to use!
We use Omio to find both trains and buses (they also have flights and ferries) β especially around Europe β and it shows all the options between the different companies.
You can also download the Omio app and buy your ticket on it. Super easy!
GetYourGuide is a great platform that offers over 140,000 experiences on its platform across 190 countries.
No matter where you go, you can always find fun tours and experiences through them.
We've used GetYourGuide multiple times in Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, and the Czech Republic β just to name a few.
Looking for cheap flights?
Sadly the days of Ryanair flights for less than β¬10 are over... But that doesn't mean you can't still find affordable flights β you just have to know how to find them!
We always use a search engine such as Skyscanner to find and browse the best deals.
Skyscanner is a flight comparison tool that shows all the best rates and flight departures in one place. So much better (and faster) than searching individual airline websites!
