Recommendations

Explore my handpicked newsletters that spark ideas, inspire creativity, and keep me informed.

CHEAP FLIGHTS

  • Going.com : This might be the only discounted flights website you need. It’s a paid service that sends you notifications when deals become available, but they expire in a couple of days so Act Fast!! 

  • Secret Flying: This website emails you about free flight opportunities and even better… it doesn’t cost a thing!!

  • Skyscanner : An older, but still reliable website that’s also FREE so there’s no reason not to use it. Use the "Explore the World" feature and set your departure date to "Whole Month" to find the cheapest deals.



  • *Above are Affiliate links at no additional cost to you.

INSURANCE

  • Safety Wing: I use Safety Wing as my travel insurance because the plans are flexible. You can easily insure a 1-week trip for like $11 dollars which is less than the cost of a cocktail at the bar.

TRAVEL GEAR

  • Compression socks: Sitting for extended periods of time is not good for the body, so keep yourself healthy enough to go on more trips. Link

  • Apple AirTags: Consider getting Apple AirTags for the peace of mind of always knowing where your luggage is. Link

  • Smart Phone holder: It's a foldable sheet that can be used as a stand for your iPhone or iPad.Link

  • Packing cubes: Having a separate container works wonders for keeping clothes wrinkle-free. It also makes packing/unpacking much easier.Link

  • Donut Power Strip: Power outlets are always in demand, but sometimes they're in weird spots. I use this bagel because it's lightweight, and I don't have to think about it. Link

  • Travel Case Organizer: Cable organizers can be a pain, but this is what I use to keep my cables organized. Link

  • Backup batteries: I like these backup batteries because they have three important components for me: 1. They have enough power to recharge my phone multiple times at once, 2. Are small enough to put in my pocket, and 3. Are sturdy enough to survive a fall. Link

  • Yoga Mat: I use this thin mat to get my stretching in even when I'm traveling. Link

  • Jump Rope: It's so easy to bring a jump rope with you for exercise because it weighs almost nothing and takes up no space. Link

  • Liquid IV: Great for hydration to keep you from dying. When you're traveling, it's time to live it up!  Link
