One of the most common questions I get when someone learns about my plans to travel the world is....
How are you getting the ticket?
I have NEVER used a travel agent in my life. By the time I started traveling independently the internet was a viable wide spread resource and I've always booked my tickets and such online by myself. Well, I found this travel company that specializes in trips like what I'm doing.
AirTreks specializes in booking round the world travel. They're used to booking one way airfares and know which places are cheaper to fly in and out of. They know which places you can add to your itinerary for little to no extra cost. But most importantly, they're friendly, helpful and won't pressure you!! On top of the great service they provide, they have more resources than I know what to do with to help plan. Articles on how to budget, how to make sure you have enough money, how to cut back on costs and help your bank account if funds are running low, etc.
So when I found their website, I filled out the little inquiry thing with a crazy itinerary that's been scaled back quite a bit over the last several weeks. Still thinking I would just do all my own bookings while I was traveling. And then I got the email from them and I knew my life would never be the same! The ease and convenience of being able to have someone else do all the leg work for me was overwhelming. And the best part is that I'm not getting charged an arm and a leg. The prices that I've been quoted by AirTreks are comprable to the prices I've seen while doing my own searches on flights.
I have to say, AirTreks is AWESOME!!! And no, they have not paid me to post this, nor do they know I'm posting it. But now you all know my secret for how I'm arranging my flights.
