These are a few of my favorite resources which have helped me in my travels…
WhatsApp – This is the preferred tool for hotels, guides, private transfers to communicate with you in Europe
GetYourGuide , Tripadvisor, Viator– Great for booking excursions, experiences and skip-the-line tickets
Expedia – I’ve used for booking short flights and stays
Booking.com – I’ve used it for booking accommodations
Trainline – Great for booking train tickets
Ferryhopper – Use for booking ferry tickets in Italy and other Mediterranean countries.
NS App and NS International App– The official train app for the Netherlands
The following travel guide books are ones that I own, have used, and recommend. I took the photos, and you can see some of the books are a little worn and dog-eared from use. You can click on the link, and it will take you to Amazon. I am now an Amazon Affiliate but had all of these prior to my affiliation.
