Accommodations

One of the main things to making your next trip smooth is having the right accommodations and being fully prepared for the upcoming journey. Over the past two years we have seen and experienced the good, the bad and the just plan questionable when it comes to places to stay. That’s why we stick with these main booking sites. They offer amazing customer service and protection to make sure you are always satisfied.

We book a stay almost every time we arrive in a new location. We have never had a bad experience with our Airbnb host (thankfully) and if something does happen to go wrong Airbnb will cover you no matter where you are or what time it is. If you’ve never signed up for Airbnb before, you can sign up using our link below. You’ll get $40 off your first rental, and $50 off any Airbnb experience.

GET YOUR $40 OFF

Booking.com is where we go for booking Hotels. Agoda is under booking.com but is less responsive so we stay away from them. If we’re looking for a nice hotel to stay in this is where you should look.

Booking.com Savings!

Below are videos we have made on specific accommodations we stay in.

Sometimes if you are traveling to a location for longer than thirty days you can book directly with the owner. This is a little bit riskier and normally comes with a downpayment. Most people do this in places they plan to live for six months to a year. If you would like to know where to start looking for accommodation like this we suggest Facebook groups. All the Facebook groups for the Locations below are linked directly under the video of that location.

Puerto Morelos, Mexico

If you want to try and rent this same place you can find it on Airbnb under Casa Palma or check this group for more local rentals available at discount prices

Seoul, South Korea:

If you are looking to stay long term and don’t mind paying a down payment you can check out this group to rent an apartment directly from the locals.

Penang, Malaysia:

Penang Property Sale / Rental is a great place to start looking if you are trying to stay long term in Penang, Malaysia.

New York, New York:

NYC can be a hard place to find rentals. This Sublet | Share| Rent Group may be the perfect place for you to start looking.

Delhi, India:

South Delhi Rentals is a great place to look in Delhi for rentals over sixty days.

Jaipur, India:

El Nido, Philippines:

Dumaguete, Philippines

Dumaguete is the perfect place to live in our eyes. The relaxing beautiful countryside is surely one of the most relaxing places we have visited. Check this local run Rental group to check for accommodations.




Krabi, Thailand:

When we stayed in Krabi we found the most beautiful townhouse with a shared pool right outside of town. We managed to get it for way cheaper by contacting the owner directly through Krabi / Ao Nang Rental group.

Chiang Mai, Thailand:

If you have heard of Thailand you have most likely heard of Chaing Mai. With its growing popularity, it may be hard to find the perfect place to stay long term. We highly suggest checking the Facebook groups for the most recent listings at a discounted rate.

Langkawi, Malaysia:




Mexico City, Mexico

Mexico City was one of the hardest places to find accommodations within our budget. Many of our friends that live there year-round suggest the many facebook groups they offer. The ones we had the best luck with were Mexico City and Foreigners in Mexico City. These have both locals and foreigners in them so you are sure to be led in the right direction.

The first of many posts from our trip to Costa Ric The first of many posts from our trip to Costa Rica. This was not only a much-needed trip away from the computer but a great opportunity to celebrate my 30th birthday! ⁣
⁣
This was the first trip I have ever been on that I didn’t plan a single thing. I didn’t look at any maps I didn’t care where we went, just wanted to spend some much-needed alone time with @jrherrm. ⁣
⁣
A couple of things we learned….⁣
⁣
 It rains a lot in the rainforest 😂 🌧⁣
⁣
When searching for wildlife, you need to look closely or pay for a guide that has a telescope. ⁣
⁣
Make sure you bring some @western_rise clothes because they are about the only durable and quick-dry clothes that were actually able to dry with the humidity in the rain forest: Discount Code DIVERTLIVING⁣
⁣
Bring an umbrella, Rain jackets won’t cut it.⁣
⁣
When booking a rental car, just expect your price to double from what your reservation says.⁣
⁣
Spend an entire day in the hot springs, but make sure your reservation is made no later than seven days in advance⁣
⁣
Hiking shoes and water shoes are a must⁣

We just arrived in Tel Aviv and I have to say this We just arrived in Tel Aviv and I have to say this is truly one of my favorite cities I have ever visited! Every city and place in the world has positives and negatives and all of these differ by each person. When you research a city or visit a city you have to be open to knowing you will not like everything about each place.⁣
⁣
And that brings me to this point. ⁣
⁣
I hate the Negativity, the constant bad-mouthing of people and places based on a select few. To be honest, if I listened to everything I saw or heard I wouldn't travel anywhere due to rumors or fear. ⁣
⁣
If I have learned anything over the years it’s this, just because you see something on the news or a post on the internet doesn’t mean you should jump to conclusions. Make your own decisions, learn first hand what the people are like what the food is like, and come to your own conclusions. ⁣
⁣
Be open, be accepting, be courteous and be careful what you believe.⁣
⁣
The people in Israel have been nothing but incredible. I really don’t think I had one bad interaction the entire trip and I can’t wait to go back and see more!⁣

Sometimes trusting complete strangers can lead to Sometimes trusting complete strangers can lead to the most rewarding adventures. ⁣
⁣
When it comes to travel and research you can spend hours researching all the best things to do and see but nothing will compare to the suggestions from locals. Almost every place I travel to I always make sure to ask all the locals we interact with what their recommendations are. ⁣
⁣
Today's recommendation led us two hours into the jungle to some pretty incredible caves and waterfalls. ⁣
⁣
I ended up leaving @steveyalo at the cave, this is the last I saw of him the whole trip. I think he may still be there doing Thai chi in the jungle⁣

Have you ever been to a ski resort and not gone sk Have you ever been to a ski resort and not gone skiing!? This is a pretty common thing to do in New York during the month of October. ⁣
⁣
Riding the chairlift up at @bristolmountain this past weekend was amazing, taking in the long ride and just enjoying the company and scenery. It was a great weekend for fall activities. ⁣
⁣
I am currently working on another Puerto Rico Vlog while planning another trip. This trip is to a new continent and three new countries I’ve never been to. Really really excited, any guesses where it will be?⁣

An island I need to see 1000 more times. Some plac An island I need to see 1000 more times. Some places you travel you just want to keep visiting and Puerto Rico is one of these places for me an interesting blend of cultures with an incredibly rich history.⁣
⁣
I have so many friends from the military that are from PR and they always talked about how diverse it is. I can say PR really does have the best of everything, beaches, waterfalls, food, rainforest. You name it, they have it. Bonus - It's only a $250 round trip ticket from NYC 😆⁣
⁣
Honestly, all these @cuts shirts are perfect for this hot island life. This stuff is super lightweight, wrinkle-free, and great for travel! Head over to the link in my Bio for 15% off!⁣
