Accommodation

Finding the best priced accommodation while travelling is a key way to keep your budget low.

Below I’ve listed my favourite ways of doing just that, helping me to spend less and travel more …

Agoda.com

With a price guarantee and a huge range of accommodation options, Agoda.com is a great choice to book somewhere to stay, particularly in Asia.

Stay with locals or like a local as you venture into other people’s homes in destinations across the globe. Acting like community, airbnb provides individualised accommodation and interactions between hosts and guests, which oppose the impersonal feel of hotel rooms.
