I use these sites more than any other to book accommodations.  They have some of the largest selections of hotels and apartments worldwide.  And— you can earn rewards the more you use them.  I always love a reward! 🥳

eSIM Cards (International Phone Service)

GoogleFi – We use GoogleFi for our cell service all the time, even when we are at home in the United States.  The prices are very reasonable, and we love that we never have to change SIM cards when we switch countries.  We just have to be sure to click in the app to switch to the international plan before we leave the US each time.  It’s very simple!
Airalo – eSIM options all over the world

Airport Lounge Access

Priority Pass – Gives you access to lounges at most major airports around the world.  We love having access to the included meals, drinks, resting areas and even showers sometimes.  We actually have access to it with our Chase Sapphire Reserve card, but you can also purchase it here.

Purchasing a visa

iVisa – Some destinations require a visa.  Go to iVisa to see if one is required for the countries you plan to visit.  You can order it from there if it is needed.

Using Credit Card Points

We collect and use credit card points as much as possible.  We use them for flights and accommodations.  If you’d like to see how we use them click here.  Below are our favorite cards.  We appreciate you using our links below, as we get bonus points for our referrals. 🙂

*Note! I only recommend using credit cards if they are used responsibly.  They should be paid on time and in full each month in order for them to be worth using.
