AFFORDABLE ACCOMMODATION
When it comes to finding homey accommodations, Airbnb doesn’t disappoint. I’ve found several “unique homes” here, too. You can rent an island, stay on a boat or sleep in a castle.
I love Booking.com and its “book now, pay later” tagline. Not to mention their FREE cancellations! Whenever I’m in a spontaneous trip, I check Booking.com first.
On a budget? ZEN Rooms has the lowest prices in South East Asia! This is my go-to site whenever I’m strapped for cash.

TRAVEL INSURANCE
If you’re going to travel, this is a necessity.
World Nomads is one of the best travel insurance providers out there. If you’re thinking that you won’t be needing this, think again. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
BLOGGING
For cheap domain names, I use namecheap.com
If you want to start blogging, I’d recommend getting your domain here.
When it comes to professional blogging, you’ll need a great host. Siteground is superb for me. Plus, whenever I’m in a pinch, their customer service is the best there is!
Wondering where I got my theme? It’s from Divi. You can choose here all sorts of themes for different types of websites. They literally have everything!
TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY
For vlogging and taking photos, Ryk and I use the Canon G7x Mark II. It’s pretty lightweight so we love taking it when traveling.
We recently bought a Fujifilm XT3 and have been loving it! Ryk and I use it when taking high-quality shots and videos.
Buying the Case Logic Camera and Laptop Backpack was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve done in my entire life. It can fit both of the Canon G7x and Fujifilm XT3 with a lot of space left for camera lenses and a drone! Plus, we can put the Sun Pak 2001 tripod on the side.
When you have a camera, you’ll want a tripod, right? We got ourselves the Sun Pack 2001. It’s pretty easy to use.
The Ifootage Cobra 2 a180 is one of our favorite photography gears to bring. We love mounting our cameras on this baby.
GoPro Hero Black 7 is everything we ever wanted from an action camera. We bring it everywhere and use it to shoot videos or take photos.
Our DJI Mavic 2 Pro with Fly More Kit Combo has changed the way we travel and take travel photos. If you want to level up your travel photography, this badass is a must-have.
