Companies We Use to Help us on our travels
Don’t you love it when someone recommends you a great restaurant, movie or cafe with the best coffee? We tell friends and family about our good and not so good shopping experiences. Why waste time and money on shopping experiences that are less than satisfying.
In fact, isn’t it true that we are often more likely to tell others about our dissatisfied services or purchases than our success stories. Here we would like to pass on some positives.
There are a few companies that we have used regularly that we believe have helped our travel adventures to be highly successful and we would like to recommend these to you.
If you choose to purchase from any of these companies using our links below we may receive some commission from these companies, at no extra cost to you. Of course we will only ever recommend things that we like and use ourselves.
TrustedHouseSitters
TrustedHouseSitters is our go to house sit provider. Virtually all of our house sits over the past three years have been sourced through their website. They are great to deal with, provide a professional and easy to use platform, give excellent support to their members (owners and sitters), and cover most of the globe. From all our dealings with them we can say that the “Trusted” in their name is well deserved.
Lonely Planet Publications
Successful travel experiences begin with careful planning and we have found Lonely Planet guide books to be an excellent source of relevant information when planning our trips. Lonely Planet guide books cover every aspect that you can imagine about traveling so that you are well informed and can be well prepared before you even leave home. We can not stress enough how important it is to plan ahead, which is why we have confidence in recommending Lonely Planet guidebooks to you.
Hotels.com
Our house sitting lifestyle requires us to travel often as we move from one house to the next. Although there are usually not many nights between our house sits we do need too (and enjoy) a hotel stop-over along the way. Hotels.com has served our needs well at all times. On occasion when we have had to reschedule our bookings we have found that nothing is too much trouble for the helpline staff to reorganise for us. Hotels.com offer a wide range of accommodation types with very competitive rates to suit almost every budget. We do not hesitate in recommending Hotels.com to you.
