We only recommend products and services we’d actually use ourselves for the itineraries on this site. Here’s the short list of what we personally rely on for trip planning, insurance, and booking tours — this page will grow as we test and add more.
Travel Insurance
Whether you’re taking a short city trip or stringing several countries together, we think travel insurance built for flexible, longer-term travel beats a standard two-week vacation policy. We use and recommend SafetyWing’s Nomad Insurance — it covers 180+ countries, can be purchased even after you’ve already left home, and bills monthly instead of requiring a big upfront payment.
Tours & Activities
For skip-the-line tickets, day tours, and local experiences, we book through GetYourGuide in every city we cover on this blog — you’ll find a city-specific link at the bottom of each itinerary post, or you can browse everything directly below.

More Resources Coming Soon
We’re actively testing a few more categories and will add them here once we’re confident recommending them: accommodation booking (Booking.com / Agoda), airport eSIMs for data on arrival (Airalo), and a packing list built specifically for short 2-5 day city trips. Check back, or subscribe to the newsletter in the sidebar and we’ll let you know when they go live.
Disclosure: some links on this page are affiliate links. If you book through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you — it’s one of the ways we keep this site running and free to read.
