Resources

Below you will find the ultimate list of travel resources. We live in an age where travel companies are a dime a dozen.

Hundreds of travel companies and websites endlessly vie for our attention. But which ones add value? Which ones should you trust? Let’s find out! Now, as travelers, we are very driven, hard-working, and focused.

After all, it takes a lot of work to make your dreams a reality, and discipline to save every penny to earn enough to go on that next trip. (Go ahead and give your self a hearty pat on the back.) One reason I put this travel resource list together is to reward us for our hard work and make our lives a little easier. Are these all the best companies in the world? Probably not, there are probably some great companies I’ve never heard of or used (If you know one shoot me a comment)

However, these are companies, websites, resources I use, trust, and get my stamp of approval. If you find this post useful, then consider bookmarking it so you can reference it on your travels.

They have recently expanded to cover a lot more of Asia. 


Expedia

A couple things I love about Expedia is that they offer great flights and deals. 

One reasons I like this sites is that they offer a rewards program that gives cash back on certain bookings.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile is the best phone service for traveling overseas. You get unlimited free text and 2g data in over 100 countries. While 2g isn’t the fastest it is awesome getting off the plane and immediately being connected. 

Eat With

Eat With is a cool service that lets you grab a home cooked meal with some locals and other travelers. 

Each host sets there own price for the meal and can be a cool way to connect with locals.

REI

REI is one of the best places to grab backpacking gear online! Get everything from backpacks to solar charges!
