I travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape me.

When I tell you I have booked *dozens* of tours with Viator, and I have never been disappointed. These include:

• Sunset boat cruise to Capri (see picture of me absolutely thriving) (minus the motion sickness)
• 3 day tour of the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye
• Day trip to Ireland's Cliffs of Moher and  Aran Islands, then another day trip through Northern Ireland
• Rainforest tour in Costa Rica
• Morning Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum tour, combined with an afternoon Vatican tour. Not sure if I'd recommend that in 95 degree Roman summer heat :')

I've been using Booking.com a ton recently, more so than any other booking site. Why? Three words: flexible cancelation policy. 

I like to book my stays early and often. Otherwise, all the good stuff gets booked up and you're left with a one star guest house with a broken A/C unit in the jungle. Or something like that. 

With Booking.com, I can book 10 hotels and then worry about what locations I'll be visiting, what fits into my budget, or which has the best beach front views, later. Make sure to write down when the last day to cancel is or you could be learning the hard way, much like a spontaneous weekend trip I booked (and did not make it) to the Hamptons. Don't be Carly. Cancel what you don't plan on using!!!
