Tips for planning the perfect trip
Planning a trip is really one of the most fun things to do. In this post, I give you the best tips for planning the perfect trip
How to find cheap hotels
Hotels are often a big part of your travel budget. But with these tips, you can hopefully still find cheap hotels.
Useful websites to plan your trip
Accomodation
Booking is THE site where I book all my hotels. It gives you a lot of flexibility: you can often cancel for free, and you often only have to pay after your stay.
When we go somewhere with a group of friends, a hotel is often less convenient. We then use Airbnb to find a nice holiday home.
Flights
With Skyscanner you also get an overview of all possible connections and airlines. But I think the best feature is that you can enter ‘everywhere’ as a destination. Very useful if you do have a certain period in which you want to travel, but the destination does not matter.
Google flights not only gives you the cheapest tickets for your trip, but also shows the evolution of prices and the possibility to find better airports.
Tickets and excursions
Tripadvisor is my go-to website to find out what to do. We also always use Tripadvisor to find restaurants.
Via Tiqets you can buy tickets in advance for the main attractions in many cities. That way you don’t have to queue anymore.
Through Get Your guide you can easily book your tickets and a huge number of tours
Transportation
I don’t just use Google maps when planning trips. You can also save maps in advance so that you can use them offline.
Auto Europe is a website where you can compare the prices of different car rental companies.
With the Thalys, TGV or Eurostar you are in the middle of different (capital) cities all over Europe. Easy, fast and comfortable travel by train.
The website for traveling by train through Europe.
Planning
To write out the travel planning, I use OneNote. This is useful because it is standard with Microsoft and you can work with several persons in documents. Handy if you are planning a trip with others.
Pinterest is the first thing I use when looking for travel inspiration. You can find everything here: from road trip tips to restaurant tips and guides on what to pack.
Other blogs are also a great source of inspiration.
Favorite books
Over the years I have read many great books about travel. Either they were set in a particular country or they were about traveling and exploring for yourself. Below are my favorite books.
