Traveling in the U.S.? Here's a tip for inexpensive accommodations
USA

There are plenty of accommodation options around the world. For more info, please see our accommodation section, or see this website, which will provide you with an unbiased price comparison for hotels globally. Book early so you can spend all of your time on your vacation exploring the area, eating well, learning, and discovering the local culture. After all, isn't that why we travel?

One of the best parts of traveling is getting a good night's sleep. With these tips to finding a great place to stay, you'll be asleep in no time. Other useful tips I find for sleeping well in new places:

• Bring a sleep mask and ear plugs - that way, light and noise won't interfere with your sleep (I don't like early mornings).
• If you really need to focus on a sound, there are plenty of apps for your smartphone that provide nature sounds (waves, rain, etc.) or even white noise. This might be helpful if you have small kids that resist going to sleep in new places because they're so excited! Start the sounds a few weeks before you travel, so that they know it is a bedtime ritual.
• Drink a nice cup of sleepytime tea before slippin away to dreamland.

And, well, you know me. Always hungry...

Looking for great food? We have a plethora of Foodie Finds - our restaurant recommendations - for around the world. I guarantee it'll make your mouth water and trips bubble up in your mind. If you have a great restaurant to share, please let us know in the comments!

Where are you headed next?

Safe travels!
