Budget Travel Adventures : Budget Travel Adventures Five travel websites we couldn't live without Posted on 18. Nov, 2011 by Jess in Top Lists, Travel Tips A friend of ours is getting married next summer and already daydreaming about the honeymoon to far away, exotic places. Doing a search for a trip to Bali, they discovered the airfare to be far out of their price range (traveling in summer from an airport that is not a major hub). Also, with so many hotels boasting to be the best or most romantic, they were feeling planning fatigue before ever really getting started! Because we travel 365 days a year and are always trying to find the best deals on transport, tours and accommodation, we were able to help them out by looking into several different flight options and giving advice on how to find the right honeymoon hotel. That got us thinking – what travel website could we NOT live without?
