​

What travel websites do I use for searching cheap flights?

​

I usually use Google Flights to search for the flight options that I’m interested in and then book the flight at the airline’s official website. Usually I do this because it just feels safer booking directly. I like Google Flights because it is easy to search for what I want and I can see the cost of flights throughout the months.

​

Some Low-cost airlines I use

  • Ryanair

  • Wizzair

  • airbaltics

​

Others I like

  • Finnair

  • KLM

​

What websites do I use for searching Hotels?

​

My personal favorite is Radisson Hotels and I am a premium member of it. Being a premium member, I get early check-in, late check-out, free room upgrade and discount on food.

 

But I also use Booking.com where Radisson is unavailable or too expensive I have never had an issue booking with them and you get Genius discounts for having an account. I really like their dashboard that shows you all your dates and where you’re staying. It just makes my life easier!

​

What are some travel tips which I use myself when planning a trip?

​

  • Always check what is the best time to travel. Many times, flights and hotels are cheaper during off season

  • Check Hotel connectivity to the places you want to travel

  • Check the available cab operators

  • Check the public transport app and also if there is day pass option

  • Restaurants - I always check Vegetarian/Vegan Restaurants & also Indian Restaurants

  • Instagrammable Spots

  • Activities to do

​

​

What is the usual length of my trips?

​

I like to have unlimited short trips, so usually the length varies from 3-4 days but there are places like Dubai, Turkey where the trip lengths where from 7-10 days also. 

​

When did I started travelling?

​

I started travelling after I moved to Europe, making the most of Schengen Visa which gives freedom to travel 23+ countries without a need of applying for Visa.

​

Can I help make a customized travel itinerary for you?

​

Ofcourse! I would be very glad if I can help make a customized itinerary for you or even answer any of your question about a place you are travelling to. Drop me a message using contact form on the Contact page or message me on instagram @goingaroundglobe

Is this my full time profession?

Along with travelling, I am author of a cookbook and love to organize cooking workshops. Read More here
