PLANES, TRAINS, & AUTOMOBILES
These are a few of my favorite things:

Best cheap flight notification services:
- Everyone always asks how I find my cheap flights (Peru for $240, Philippines for $550, Guatemala for $220, Barcelona for $320... you get my drift.) Usually, I start my day using the "everywhere" function on Google Flights and just daydreaming about all the cheap fares I see that morning... but if you're not trying to spend your morning aimlessly staring at a map, try one of the options below:
- If you sign up for the free version of the options below, chances are at least one will send you a deal for free that another would consider "Premium." I get, on average, 5 or so emails from the below companies and I'm only signed up for 1 premium subscription. I post some of my favorites on my Instagram!

Oh, you're still using *insert other flight search engine here*? STOP. STOP USING ANYTHING ELSE. Google Flights is the GOAT.

Dead set on where you're going and when you want to be there? Enter in your info, click search, then take a look at the Date Grid or Price Graph if you have a smidge of flexibility. If not, snag the best option or hit "Track Prices" if you aren't ready to take the plunge yet.

You can also track specific flights rather than routes, if you select your flights and then choose to "Track Prices" for that selection.

Not sure where to go, but know your dates? Leave the destination blank to see a map with price.

Not sure where to go or when? Leave the destination blank, click "search", then edit the dates on the map page to select "flexible dates" and poke around from there!

The absolutely best if you're trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B, but aren't sure if the best way would be a train, bus, plane, taxi, etc. This site was a lifesaver when travelling Europe, where the transportation modes are endless, but the price and the time spent commuting can be differentiating factors
