Travel Resources I Personally Use

Flights & Accommodations

When I’m planning a trip, I use Booking.com to compare hotels, apartments, and unique stays in one place. It’s especially useful for checking reviews, flexible cancellation options, and finding accommodations close to food spots and attractions.

Travel Gear & Packing Essentials

I keep my packing simple and focus on gear that’s lightweight, durable, and actually useful on the road. These are items I’ve used personally or versions I’d confidently recommend to other travelers.
