Below are my favorite companies to use when traveling. They are always my starting point whenever I need to book a flight, accommodation, tour, or car rental!

Hostelworld – This is the best hostel booking site; it offers the largest inventory, the best search interface, and the widest availability.
Booking.com – The best overall booking site. It consistently provides the cheapest and lowest rates and has the widest range of budget accommodation options. In all my tests, it has always been the site that provides the cheapest prices.
Get Your Guide – This is a great online marketplace for tours and excursions. It offers many tour options in cities around the world, from cooking classes and walking tours to street art lessons!
