How to save money on AirBnb
There is absolutely no need to pay full price for an Airbnb, in case you didn’t know. Have you ever heard the phrase ‘ask and yea shall receive?’, well this is where that totally applies. On the Airbnb platform there is an option to contact the host before booking. I use a standard template that I just copy and paste (adjusting slightly for each listing, depending on the circumstances and the ask) to request a discount. Click on the link and I’ll be happy to send you my template.
Trusted Housesitters 25% off membership discount
If you love animals, why not look after one (or two, or three…) while also staying for free? Since accommodation is one of the most expensive parts of travel and boarding pets is not exactly cheap (plus the pets get to stay in the comfort and security of their own home) this is a total win-win on both sides! I use a match service called Trusted Housesitters, who offer sits all over the world and you can get 25% off membership via this link!
Groupon has the best prices for thousands of activities
Make sure to sign up to the discount Groupon for deals on local and foreign hotels, restaurants and activities. They offer deals that are typically between 50-70% off regular the prices. My friends and family actually call me the ‘Groupon Queen’, a title I am most proud of because I score so many incredible deals, at home and abroad. Groupon is available in many countries across the world – check here to see if it’s available in yours…

$40 off your first 10 rides with Lyft
Lyft operates in the United States and Canada and are a ride-sharing app (just like Uber). They set specific requirements on the vehicles used by drivers and have several different categories or levels of service. While Uber and Lyft rates are fairly equal, a recent study showed that in a busy area such as Los Angeles, Lyft actually has a smaller surge charge. If you’d like to give them a try, feel free to grab your ride credit with my link.
