I feel like it's my duty to share these AWESOME things with you
1. www.seatguru.com
This website is the BUSINESS. You type in your flight number, they'll give you a seat map of the plane and tell you which is the best seat, which has the most leg room, which has powerpoints for your laptop, you can compare seats on different planes and see which one has cooler stuff, better in-flight entertainment, which is cheaper and lots of other cool things. Check it out.
2. www.airbnb.com
Ever wanted to rent a tree house for a week? Or stay in a castle? Or in an igloo? Well, with this website, you totally can, and it's not even expensive. You can also rent ordinary places too, if you're boring like that. Basically, if people go away, or they're not using their place, they advertise it here and you can rent it out and it's a LOT cheaper than staying at a hotel and usually a lot more comfortable too. They have some pretty interesting places on there, you should have a look.
3. www.blablacar.com
Ever heard of couchsurfing? Well, this is like the car equivalent. When people are going somewhere, they advertise it on here, and people like me, who do it on the cheap, will message them saying "Hi, I'm Cary, I'm awesome, can I please get a lift with you", they check out your profile, you check out theirs and ba-da-bing ba-da-boom you have a lift.
4. www.couchsurfing.com
I'm pretty sure you've all heard of this, if you haven't, then... get with the program. You can stay with people for free, and in return you let people stay with YOU for free. It's all very lovely and kind.
5. www.rome2rio.com
Ever wanted to get somewhere, but hadn't a CLUE how? Well, with this website you just type in where you are and where you want to go and they'll give you a list of ways to get there, be it with trains, buses, ferries, flights or a combination of all of the above.
That's my good deed for the week. You're welcome.
