HEALTH + SAFETY
- World Nomads: With as much as traveling can cost and how unpredictable life can be, we always buy travel insurance to protect our trips. Perks of having travel insurance: medical expense assistance, emergency transportation, peace of mind for delayed or lost luggage, credit card shortfalls, and so much more!

PLACES TO STAY
TOURS
- Viator
- GetYourGuide
- Airbnb Experiences
TRANSPORTATION
- Google Maps: We utilize Google maps for every trip we take. We love it because it also shows you train times and platforms when visiting foreign countries or U.S. cities with train/subway systems.
- Turo: Browse unique cars for rent by local owners in the US and Canada (soon extending to other locations).
- Uber: I think by now everyone is familiar with this popular rideshare app. In our experience, it’s usually more cost-efficient than a taxi. You’ll also always know the estimated cost of your ride before you go so there shouldn’t be any surprises.
TRIP INSURANCE
Many travel credit cards now offer trip insurance but if you don’t have this available to you or need extra coverage I highly recommend purchasing supplemental travel insurance. Two companies that I recommend are World Nomads and SafetyWing. I have personally used World Nomads in the past but switched to SafetyWing because they have pandemic coverage. Other frequent travelers that I know also swear by these two companies.
