THE (google) travel hack
As a broke young adult, I don't like spending money. However, I do like doing fun stuff. Like traveling. Here's how I have saved a bunch of money in the last years: Google flights.
Google flights is an incredibly useful tool, it gives a great overview of a bunch of different destinations and compares different airlines and different dates.
Go to: www.google.com/travel/flights
Fill in your starting point, but leave the destination empty.
Click on explore.
For the best results change the date to 'flexible dates'.
(this can show the cheapest option in the next 6 months which is ideal if you aren't too tied to a specific date)
The map will show all the best flight options.
For example, I tried this hack today (18th of July 2023) and I found the following deals:
London - Lisbon (roundtrip) -> € 37
London - Barcelona (roundtrip) -> € 40
London - Vienna (roundtrip) -> € 41
London - Copenhagen (roundtrip) -> € 40
London - Venice (roundtrip) -> € 37
London - Athens (roundtrip) -> € 47
London - Rome (roundtrip) -> € 46
Yes, these are roundtrips. That means London to Lisbon and Lisbon to London for 37 euros. The big thing here is that these deals have always been available but they are just hard to find. I very much recommend to just give it a try and hopefully it will help you save some €€€.

If you’re a city person, but love waterfalls, you gotta come #visitsingapore 📌Save this post for a few #traveltips! The #cloudforest is home to one of the world’s largest waterfalls at 35 m tall (surpassed by the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport - see my previous reel!) Swipe for some views of this gorgeous site. Go to #gardensbythebay and visit this cool (23°C to 25°C) indoor site. I wanted to post this because this view won’t be available again until 1 April 2023! My little one and I are going to check out the temporary avatar installation at the Cloud Forest and are pretty excited. This original view is really majestic in its own right. My #traveltip - get that first picture of the waterfall right as you enter, but also head to the side for some great views with fewer crowds too!

Paris Travel Tips
Paris | Brussels | Bruges | Paris Food | Travel Tips
We flew the new PLAY airline with stopover in Iceland. They made traveling to Paris very affordable: our round-trip tickets in August were $470 each, though they did make you pay for carryons, water, and anything else you can think of. You can find well-rated hotels in great locations like next to the Louvre or right in the Latin Quarter for just under $200 for a family or 4. While there’s a range for food, you can have a good sit down meal for less than the cost of a meal in Boston. The exchange rate is almost 1:1 so very much in our favor.
Paris is beautiful everywhere you go. Be sure to look around as you walk around, you might see a historic church or a pretty fountain. Give yourself time to just wonder around. With a GPS (even without data) you can't really get lost. I especially enjoy walking around in the morning when it’s quiet.
You'll walk a lot - 15-20,000 steps for me daily, and half as many for my kids. Be sure to rest and take breaks, e.g at one of the many cafes.
French are quite friendly! - Just try to say some basic French. We didn't have much problem with the stereotype of rude Parisians, except maybe one very stressed waiter who had a bunch people trying to order. Some useful phrases:
Bonjour - Good morning, hello, good day
Bonsoir - Good evening
Merci - Thank you
S'il vous plaît - Please. Short: SVP, so e.g.
Les Toilettes, SVP? - Restroom please?
L'addition, SVP - Check, please
Where to stay
We stayed in 2 different areas since in between we stayed with our friends. For the first I chose the Louvre area because it’s a great way to be introduced to Paris. You can take easy walks to see the Louvre, Royal Palace, Seine River, Musee d��Orsay across the river. It’s also a short walk to Opera House and other sites. There are also a number of good restaurants near the Palais Royal area.
The other area we stayed at is the Latin Quarter. Also great for site seeing (Notre Dame, Seine, Pantheon) and restaurants, plus more convenient and affordable. We stayed in an apartment in an authentic courtyard, overlooking a very busy intersection starting from very early morning. I love the bustle all around, good the double windows made the apartment quiet. This area is also close to Sorbonne the famous university, making things more affordable and international.
Getting around
The density of Paris plus a focus on climate change means there are a lot of great transportation options. The Metro is quite convenient: there's almost always a stop close to where you are. Buy a pack of ten so you don't need to stand in line for tickets. Kids 12 and under are free so just walk one in with you.
Taxis are convenient and affordable. You can wave one down at the busy street corners. Just be warned they often don’t take 4 people, probably due to Covid concerns, not allowing one to sit in passenger seat. We also saw some hydrogen-powered taxis and many more Toyota hybrids.
- Not able to find a Taxi? You can always order an Uber, which can be quite affordable. We enjoyed talking to Taxi and Uber drivers in Paris, who are often immigrants and asked us about where we’re from.
- Paris is super bike and scooter friendly. Next to the Louvre on Rue de Rivoli, there's a ridiculously wide two-lane bike path, and only a tiny one lane for cars. Else where there are bike-bus-taxi lane in the roads.
- Lime and Tier scooters are everywhere. You can ride the Lime scooter with your Uber app. It did take us some time to figure out how to rent one, as the apps only take debit cards, not credit. Lime is a bit easier to brake than Tier the competitor, but the latter allows you to book more than one at a time. Our kids and we had a lot of fun riding around in scooters. Note you do have to return them to designated areas, so look for them near where you go.
Shopping
Food shopping is for sure one of the highlights of the trip. First we love staying with our friends and checking out their local cheese and sausage store where we can get recommendations and samples. There are separate specialty stores selling wine, meat or fish.
On the same block as our Latin Quarter rental is a Monoprix store that was a lot of fun to shop at. We got pears for the equivalent of $0.75/lb, and apples for $1.5/lb. There’s freshly squeezed OJ for $1.59 per bottle. And lots of takeaway options like salads, sandwiches and sushis. The store is a popular upscale chain that’s found throughout urban areas. Just check out their amazing deli meat section that’s also quite affordable. The prices vary by store and clientele.
Franprix seems to be a competitor chain that’s more pricy. I found it interesting they have digital price tags making it easier to adjust on the fly.
At the premium end of the spectrum is Galeries Lafayette, one of the Les Grands Magasins or fancy department stores. We visited their gourmet shops selling high end bakery items, spices, even one specializing in truffles.

Cell Phone Service Overseas: How to Stay Connected
Staying connected while traveling overseas can be a challenge. Whether you're taking a quick business trip to another country or you're embarking on an extended vacation, having access to reliable cell phone service is an essential part of staying in touch with family and friends back home. In this blog post, we'll discuss some of the options available to you for getting cell phone service overseas, so you can stay connected while you're abroad.
Check for International Plans with Your Carrier
Before you take off, take the time to check with your cell phone carrier to see what international plans they offer. Most carriers offer different international plans that include data, text and talk minutes. These plans vary in cost and features, so it’s important to do some research and find the one that best fits your needs. You may also want to consider renting a device or buying a local SIM card for use overseas. This could be a more cost-effective option, depending on where you’re going and how long you plan to stay. Finally, if you have an unlocked GSM phone, you can purchase a local SIM card in the country you’re visiting.
Use a Local SIM Card
Local SIM cards are relatively easy to obtain and can provide you with access to the local network. This will allow you to make calls, text and use the internet while traveling abroad. You can usually buy these cards at airports, convenience stores, and other locations near your destination.
Before purchasing a local SIM card, make sure to research which network providers are available in the area. You should also double check that your phone is unlocked and compatible with the local network. After that, it’s as easy as inserting the SIM card and you’ll be ready to go!
Use Wi-Fi Calling and Messaging Apps
One of the most convenient methods for staying connected while traveling abroad is Wi-Fi calling. Most smartphones support this feature and it is free in many places, such as airports and cafes. Another way to stay connected while abroad is to use messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Skype, and Viber. These apps allow you to send messages, make video calls, and even make audio calls for free or at a minimal cost.
Keep Your Phone in Airplane Mode
By turning on Airplane mode, you are essentially turning off your cellular connection. As such, you won’t get charged for any roaming fees or data charges. When you are in Airplane mode, you can still access any of the apps that you have already downloaded onto your device. You will also be able to make and receive Wi-Fi calls, so if you are using a VoIP app like Skype or WhatsApp, you can still stay connected with family and friends back home.
Rent a Portable Wi-Fi Device
Portable Wi-Fi devices are small, pocket-sized devices that allow you to access the internet no matter where you are. They come with a SIM card that you insert into the device and then you’re able to connect to the internet using a secure connection. These devices are incredibly convenient and make it easy for travelers to stay connected while on the go. You can use them in multiple countries, and they even work in some remote locations that don’t have traditional cell phone coverage. This makes them perfect for those who want to stay connected without relying on international roaming plans or buying a local SIM card.
Staying connected while overseas is imperative. Choose the best option that works for you and enjoy your travels!
