Hey there! So you’ve stumbled upon this blog. Nice to see you here because we’re diving into my top sites for travel planning that’ll make you say “Why didn’t I find these sooner?”

#1. SkyScanner

Think of SkyScanner as your personal flight fairy godmother. It is so easy to use! You can explore the world with just a date in mind or click ‘Explore’ for the ultimate adventure roulette! This site is always my go to when I am just starting out my vacation planning.

#2. Booking.com

Book flights, hotels, and even a combo deal—all with a few clicks. It also offers the convenience of booking experiences. With just one login, you can seamlessly manage your flights, hotels, and even purchase tickets for activities. You can manage everything from one account because who has time for multiple logins? #winning

#3. Viator

This is one of my favorites. Need tickets to that underground jazz club or a guided tour of the local brewery or looking for thrills? Viator’s got your back with tickets to every attraction under the sun. To me, it feels like this site always has the best local deals.

Bonus: Their customer service is as awesome as their offers!

#4. Google Flights

Google Flights is always my go-to website. I’ve noticed that it consistently finds the best deals when I’m planning trips. Once you’ve decided on your destination, Google Flights is the place to go to get the best prices. Google Flights not only shows you prices for dates near your departure, but it also lets you track those prices.

#5. TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor is another travel site that lets you book stays and experiences all in one place. What I really like about TripAdvisor is that it not only offers booking options but also provides lots extensive reviews. If you’re ever debating what activities to do or which trip to book, TripAdvisor is always my go-to.

So, these are my go to sites for stress-free vacation planning. I hope that by using these websites, you’ll reduce your planning time, allowing you to fully enjoy your vacation without the stress of organizing it. Happy planning!

Travel smart, live inspired!
