Travel Resources
Overview
After so many years of traveling, to so many places, in so many ways, we figured we’d gather all the resources we use in one place to make it easier for both us and our readers to find.
This page includes a range of links to helpful travel resources we’ve used or researched and now recommend. We’ve split the section into the major components of planning and completing a trip. You’ll also find a few specialty areas like House and Petsitting.
Hopefully, you’ll find everything you need to plan the perfect trip, no matter how long it is, where you go, or how you get there.
Note that the categories include some companies and products we’ve partnered with. (see the disclosure statement below.) We’ve used these companies personally, been recommended by trusted family, friends, or travel buddies, or researched them thoroughly before adding them to the list. The information also includes a few in-depth reviews of products, places, and organizations, and we’ll add to that collection over time.
