BOOK
ACCOMMADATION

We usually use a mix of Booking.com and Airbnb depending on the trip.

Booking.com is our go-to for short stays and flexibility, especially when we want easy check-in, lots of options, and free cancellation.

For longer stays, Airbnb tends to work better. It’s easier to find more space, a kitchen, and somewhere that feels a bit more like home, which makes a big difference when travelling with kids.

My Go-To Travel Resources (What We Actually Use)

These are the tools we’ve actually used while traveling as a family. Nothing complicated, just what’s worked for us on the road.

SafetyWing – This is what we use for travel insurance. It’s simple to set up, flexible if your plans change, and doesn’t lock you into rigid dates. It’s one of those things we didn’t think much about at first… but wouldn’t travel without now.
Airalo – This is how we stay connected when we land somewhere new. No hunting for SIM cards, no stress—just data straight away. It’s easily one of the most useful things we’ve used while traveling with kids.
Aviasales – This is usually where we start when looking for flights. It pulls in a wide range of options and often finds routes that don’t always show up on the bigger platforms.
Booking.com – We use this for most of our accommodation. It’s reliable, flexible with cancellations, and just makes things easy when plans change (which they usually do with kids).
Viator – Good for booking activities ahead of time, especially when you want things organised before arriving. We’ve used it a few times when we didn’t want to figure everything out on the ground.
GetYourGuide – Similar to Viator, but sometimes with different options or pricing. Worth checking both—especially in popular destinations where tours fill up quickly.
DiscoverCars – This is what we use when renting a car. It compares different providers and usually finds better deals than going direct.
