Travelling the world can be scary for some people. Our website is here to provide you with travel tips and to help you to get out of your comfort zone so that you can start to enjoy travel in a different way.

Imagine the pleasure of finding yourself in the middle of nowhere and having the time to enjoy a simple moment in front of an extraordinary landscape.

We update this page on a regular basis and if you don’t want to miss our latest posts, subscribe to our newsletter . Don’t miss the chance of becoming part of our thriving community of like-minded travellers and backpackers.

Travel Tips

Best Accommodation Companies

Below are my three best companies for accommodation. The first one is Booking.com which is the best website to compare accommodation around the world. Most of the hotels or rooms are payable at the property which means you can cancel and if you aren’t too close to the date you lose nothing. It saved me a lot of money when my flight to San Francisco was cancelled. The second is the best site if you love pets. Trusted Housesitters is a website where you can have FREE accommodation in exchange of taking care of a pet. You can read my article about how to travel for free for more information about house-sitting. The last one is Belvilla. This site is for travellers who want to have the freedom of being in a luxurious villa. These villas are ideal for families and you can cook, relax after a day trip.

Lastminute

Best Rental Car

If you need to rent a car for your trip, I advise you to stay with well known rental companies, especially in Mexico where there are plenty of scams. If you travel in Europe, the best one is Europcar. I have used them many times and have never had any complaints.


Train Tickets

Travelling by train is the best way to see the wonders of Europe, and with Rail Europe you can see 28 countries and 15,000 cities and towns in Europe with the widest selection of train tickets and rail passes. Eurail Global Pass is the best solution to travel in Europe, check out our article about the Eurail Global Pass

City Pass

Do you want to skip the line, or buy a city pass to save money? Here are the ones I have used. Go city is where you can buy a package for the best activities in the city and you will save a lot of money by using it.

Travel Insurance

Don’t underestimate the importance of travel insurance. When our recent trip to San Francisco was cancelled, we were so relieved and happy to be able to reclaim our money for unused hotels, tickets, etc.  Check out the box below for good deals. Look out for the special insurance designed for backpackers! .
