Only what we use ourselves, from our home base in Nice. If we ever add affiliate links here, they'll be marked, and they never change what we recommend.
Getting around
- Rental cars: we rent cars for most trips now, usually with OK Mobility, or any company you can pick up from at Nice airport.
- Trains and buses: we buy tickets directly from the train or bus company. Trainline is great for ease, but sometimes tickets cost a lot more there, so compare first.
Flights
We find and book flights through Skyscanner.
Where we stay
Mostly camping now, because everything else got so expensive. We book directly with the campsite.
Money
- Capital One Venture card
- IHG credit card, which earns us hotel points too
Insurance
We don't buy separate travel insurance. Our regular insurance is through Insubuy.
Phone and data
French SIM cards at home, and Airalo eSIMs when we travel.
Apps we can't travel without
- Google Maps
- Claude
