If you use these links, I earn a small commission (or a referral amount, which I will declare) at no cost to you. If you’re going to be booking the trip anyway, using my affiliate links costs you nothing but the time to click, and really helps me to justify putting more time into this website, creating more, better content for you for the future. It’s a win/win, and I hugely appreciate you for it.
I only share affiliate links for brands/products I think my readers would find useful. There’s links on here for accommodation, flights, trains, tours, attraction tickets and e-sims, so please do scroll down this page and see if there’s anything you need.
Klook-for tours, attraction tickets and hotels
I first started using Klook when visiting Hong Kong, as I wanted to pay for activities before we flew so we could budget easier. A lot of the tickets I bought had skip the line, which was really useful.
Get your guide-for tours and attraction tickets
I use Get your guide about as often as I use Klook, which is a lot. Sometimes I find one site has many more options than the other for a destination, so it’s always worth checking both.
Booking.com-for hotel or apartment bookings
We use booking.com for hotels, and often for apartments too. They have a wide variety of options and we find the website really simple to use.
Hotels.com-for hotel or apartment bookings
Hotels.com is another site we often use, comparing prices across both platforms to find the best deal. Sometimes we find a better option checking the second site so, as with the activity bookings, it’s worth having a look at both.
Expedia-for hotels, apartments, flights and car rental
Expedia is an all rounder that lets you search for everything you need travel and accommodation wise. It’s a really good resource when you want to book everything in one place.
Airalo-for e-Sims, allowing you to use your phone abroad
Since buying an e-Sim compatible phone, I always have data no matter where I am, without having to hunt out a shop to buy a local sim. Airalo offers sims for the whole world, including some multi country ones if you’re going to be moving around. It’s a lifesaver.
Trainline-for UK train travel, and many other countries too
I always book trains via Trainline. It’s the most known train booking site for a reason and I’m really pleased I can work with them with my affiliate link for train travel.
Omio-for trains, buses and flights
Omio lets you compare different types of travel and it’s useful to plan a journey without having to look at lots of different websites
Monzo-for fee free transactions and cash withdrawals abroad
I opened my Monzo account for the fee free use abroad, and now use it as my current account because I love the features. You can do multiple savings pots, and even get paid at 4pm the day before your usual payday, which can be really useful.
If you use my referral link and make one transaction within 30 days (so just use your card to pay for something) we each get a mystery reward of £10, £20 or £50.
Currensea-to use your day to day bank account abroad, fee free, without having to transfer money to another account
My partner always uses Currensea, which is linked to his current account, so that he can spend easily whilst saving on the fees his current account would charge if he just used that card.
If you use my referral link, we each get £10 once you’ve spent £100 abroad.
Nord VPN-if you need a VPN to work abroad
Nord VPN is the VPN we use whenever we need to work abroad. It’s reliable and trustworthy and has never let us down
