HOW TO TRAVEL THE WORLD BY TRAIN

Trains are one of my favorite transportation options. When my wife and I were in Bangkok back in 2012, we took an overnight sleeper train to Chiang Mai and managed to have a great sleep, waking up rested in a new city the next day. It was far better than taking a bus. Trains provide a smooth (usually) and slightly romantic experience through scenery you may never see otherwise. Trains are also usually more comfortable than buses and if you can get a bed, you’ll save money on accommodation as well. Here are some websites to get you started.

HOW TO TRAVEL THE WORLD BY WATER

Sometimes you might not even need a plane to get you where you want to go. Niall Doherty from ndoherty.com has been travelling around the world without flying for the last three years. He may jump on a one-way cruise or do the unconventional thing and book himself on a cargo ship heading across the Pacific ocean for 26 days. While you may not want to be as extreme as Niall, taking a boat rather than a plane might just be the adventure you’re looking for.

TRAVEL THE WORLD BY AUTOMOBILE

Some of my best memories of travel have come from road trips. One of those special trips was back in 2011 when my wife and I took a 40-day road trip from Alberta, Canada all the way down the coast to San Diego, California, and back up through the deserts of Nevada, the red landscapes of Utah and the gushing geysers of Yellowstone National Park. It was absolutely incredible. We had the freedom to go wherever we wanted to and we could change our plans on a whim. Below are some tips for renting cars.

The Best Way to Book Cheap Flights

Once you have a destination in mind, it might be time to find a flight. If you’re like most people, you’re probably looking to find the best deal. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place.

Below are the best options for finding the cheapest flight.

Skyscanner

(www.skyscanner.com)

Skyscanner is my go-to tool for finding cheap flights anywhere in the world. Skyscanner does a good job at scanning different booking engines, which enables you to search multiple sites in a matter of minutes. If you value things like flight duration, flight times and so forth, there are features that bring these options into the results. If you find a flight you like, you’ll simply be redirected to the site that’s offering the fare. No charge. Not ready to book? No problem. You can also choose to get price alerts, which means Skyscanner will email you when a better deal comes up. 

PRO TIP:
If the flight is offered through one airline (not multiple airlines), consider checking the price on the airline’s website first.
