Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks
Book Your Flight
Find a cheap flight by using OneTravel. It’s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned.
Book Your Accommodation
You can book your hostel with Expedia. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Kiwi as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels.
