Helpful Resources For Planning Your Next Journey

I love to use Skyscanner and Google Flights for flight research.  These search engines will give you an extensive overview of airlines worldwide.  From there, you can choose to book through those sites or visit the airline directly.

Two favorites include Booking.com and Agoda (for Asia).   

The rates are competitive, and results will give you a variety of choices from 5-star hotels to guesthouses.
