For outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Enterprise for your car rental needs.

 What I love about Hotels.com is that you can earn a reward night for every 10 nights booked through their website, and that can be used at any hotels.com hotel booking in the world!  Since I travel all around, I love the flexibility of not being tied to one particular hotel chain 

I use Swagbucks.com along with hotels.com for extra cash back and hotel coupons!  I go to the Swagbucks site and search 'Shop' for Hotels.com  They have various coupons and will also tell how many Swagbucks cash back you'll receive for booking (100 SB = $1).  Swagbucks can be traded in for gift cards or PayPal cash!  It is free to join and you can also earn swagbucks for many of your everyday activities too such as using its search engine!   You can get a 300 SB Bonus when you earn 300 SB in your first 30 days using the link below.

If you do not want to travel with your regular cell phone or cannot find an affordable plan to use with it, I highly recommend buying a separate phone you can put a local SIM card in for the destination you are going to.   My personal favorite are unlocked Blu phones - click below for one with an excellent camera, 128 GB and amazing battery life! (Hint: You can also get SIM cards on Amazon too and set up before you arrive!)

I use Fiverr for so many things - podcast logo design, podcast editing, promotions, music, business card design, etc. 

My favorite courses on how to grow and monitize your social media account are 'The Daily Courses."  She offers a social media audit course, a course on how to make money, and a course on social media growth secrets.

I use Canva for all my graphic designing needs such as media kits and Instagram story templates.  

I use Shutterfly to make incredible photo books of my travels.
