Hostelworld – We find hostels a great option for their social environment. As well as being wallet friendly, many hostels also organise social events, group tours, and activities that encourage guests to connect and explore together.

Paul Camper – If you are looking to hire a campervan, Paul Camper has a great selection in Europe and Oceania.
Car Rentals
Discover Cars – This is the best place to get a great deal on car hire! However, their ratings aren’t always accurate, we always double-check the company on Google before booking to make sure we’re getting the best deal with the best company.
Other Handy Tools
Airalo – For the best data packages and easy to use eSIM solutions, we use Airalo.
Radical Storage – We use Radical Storage for the best short-term storage solutions. When TA passes through Liverpool on her way to the Isle of Man, this is an absolute lifesaver for her luggage while she peruses the high street.
