Hotel Recommendations
These are the top hotel recommendations I have as a travel blogger who is obsessed with unique accommodations (bonus points if it has a view!)
MY TOP PICKS!
Affordable but Epic hotels
Bali, Indonesia = $100/night
One bedroom villa with pool
Cairo, Egypt – $65/night
Double or Twin Room with pyramid view
Paris, France = $170/night
Deluxe Double Room or Superior Room with Balcony.
Hoi An, Vietnam – $30/night
Any room is great; the pool is shared with all guests
Amalfi Coast, Italy = $100/night
Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Sea View
London, UK –
£700 a night. It will fit up to 4 guests so that works out to be £175 a person per night. Book the 2br with river view
Best Travel Insurance
Don’t ever leave without travel insurance! I used to skip travel insurance because I thought I didn’t need it but I was completely wrong. I now always get it and it’s been a life savior. I recommend Safety Wing because you can buy it abroad and it works for longer than 45 days. A lot of insurances limit how long you can be out of your home country but with Safety Wing, that won’t matter because it’s designed for long term travel.
