Trusted Travel Planning Resources
Plan your next adventure with ease. Learn how to plan a trip and save money while doing so! Below are our top three resources when it comes to planning a trip. Keep browsing for more resources and learn how you can make the planning process easier and save money on your travels.
The Dyrt
Hey, fellow campers! This one is for you. We use the Dyrt app to find the best campsites. Just search your destination and you can browse all nearby options. You can find prices, phone service info, and campsite features. This is free, but if you're an avid camper, I suggest paying for the pro plan. You can download maps and more to use offline, and there are discounts you get, along with other perks.
Hopper
Looking for cheap flights? Hopper is a mobile app that's a great tool to use when looking for the cheapest flights no matter where you are traveling to. If you are flexible with your travel plans, you can see when the cheapest flights are. They have a calendar with color-coded dates that show when the cheapest vs. most expensive times to travel are. You can also search for rental cars and hotels to find the best deals.
Maps Me
Especially in places where you don't have phone service and your languages skills aren't the best, Maps Me will come extremely in handy. This app allows you to download maps for specific areas, cities, or even countries. You can remove downloaded maps and download new ones as you travel the world. You can also save locations and get directions; super helpful if you're unfamiliar with a place and language.

The planning portion of a trip can be very stressful, especially if you are keen on having everything very organized. But thankfully, there are many resources to make your life easier when it comes to planning a trip!
