Travel Sites:
kayak.com - We use kayak for its explore feature, especially for short spontaneous trips with flights. You can find some awesome deals by plugging in upcoming dates and using your local airport!
hotels.com - This is one of Kate's favorite sites! She uses their rewards program and receives free rooms and other amazing perks!
airbnb.com - As host ourselves we enjoy checking out Airbnb’s in new places especially when we are staying in a particular place for an extended period of time. We have found Airbnb's are far cheaper the longer you stay! If you are interested in being a host please follow our link and receive a $25 bonus when you book your first stay.
VRBO - Like Airbnb we are also hosts on VRBO and when staying in a place for an extended period we find these to be far cheaper then hotels but also more homely with amenities like full kitchens.
