Travel, health, and wellbeing

I couldn’t not have a section on travel, health, and wellbeing on my travel blog.

For me, as a long term traveler it is so important for me to stay healthy because getting sick or having and accident abroad is not only incredibly stressful, it’s also inconvenient and can end up being very (very) expensive, especially if you don’t have insurance!

Plus I’m a yogi and wanted somewhere to put all my yoga blog post…

On this page you are going to find lots of blog posts about yoga, healthy eating, fitness, and of course insurance.

Travel insurance...

Like most other travel bloggers I do recommend World Nomads, and not just because I get a nice payout if you book through my link (which is nice of course). I recommend them because they are the best, they aren’t the cheapest, but it is the most flexible plan you will find if you are wondering the globe long term without any real plan.

However I must admit, now I’m a little more stable and not jet setting so much I am now using Safety Wing Digital Nomad insurance. For me right now they are the best (and cheapest option. I just pay a monthly premium and there is no long term contract, I can cancel at anytime.

I wrote up a thorough review of both, which you can read here.

Feeling nervous about traveling solo for the first time?

Believe me when I tell yo I’ve been exactly where you are and I know exactly how you feel.

Thats why I wrote this book. Its the book I wish I’d had to read when I was planning my first trip.

It’s just a short read, but it’s packed full of helpful advice to help you feel more confident about your trip.

This is an amazing book! I’ve been thinking about traveling solo for a long time but couldn’t get over my anxiety. After reading this book, I am about to plan my first trip! The only downside is it’s a bit short. But still helpful and a great read!

Book your trip now

Are you ready to book your trip? Well to help you get the best deals and service here are the companies that I personally use to book all of my travel online. I always shop around before booking anything, but these are my tried and tested starting places.

Skyscanner – I’m a bit fan of Skyscanner, it is who I use to book all of my flights. I often will check other like Google Flights or Momodo, but I always go here first and it is who I book 99% of my flights with.
Booking.com – I LOVE booking.com especially when I can book and cancel free up until a certain point, mostly because my plans are forever changing. It’s easy to use and has one of the widest selections.
Airbnb – I’m not a huge user of Airbnb, but sometimes I do like to use it, and I ALWAYS check it before I book anything else. You can get some really cool places to stay here, and it is especially good in places like Cuba. If you don’t have an account and you click on this link then you will get $36 off your first booking.
Hostelworld – If you are looking for hostels then this is a great place to check first. They often have additional places that you won’t find on Bookin.com.
Agoda – Although I don’t use it as much as booking.com, Agonda is especially good if you are traveling in Asia as they really do dominate there.
Workpackers – If you want to travel on the cheap and save money on accommodationg then you need Workpackers in your life. You can read more about it here. If you click this link to sign up and use the code CLAIRESITCHYFEET then you can get a 40% discount on your membership!
12Go – If you are traveling in Asia and want to pre-book your transportation then 12Go is a fantastic site to do so. They have buses, trains, and air travel.
RentalCars – Looking to rent a. car while you are away? I always book through Rental Cars as they do a search of all of the big sites and find the best deals.
Welcome Pickups – Very occasionally getting from the airport to my accommodation is a total pain in the butt, or I’m traveling in a group and it makes sense to arrange a pickup. When I do I use Welcome pickups.
World Nomads – If you are looking for flexible travel insurance then it’s World Nomads all the way. I wrote all about insurance here if you want a more thorough review.
SafetyWing – AsI’m a Digita Nomad and not moving around quite so much anymore I personally use SafetyWing now for my health insurance. I wrote a full review here.
Viatour – Sometimes it can be a little expensive, but I like Viatour for somethings, especially if you can get a discount code! It’s also great for inspiration.
Klook – If you are traveling in Asia, then Klook is great! You can book all kinds of tours, activities, and train tickets, plus they even have sim cards and WiFi.
