Therefore, I hope that you will find these travel resources useful as well.

Accommodation
Booking.com is the portal I use to book most of my accommodations. The prices are usually slightly lower than on other portals and you can browse over 2 million properties in 226 countries and territories.
Hostelworld
Hostel World is the go-to booking portal for hostels around the world. There are no booking fees.
It usually lists a wider range of hostels in Asia than other platforms.
Airbnb
I use Airbnb when I look for long-term accommodation and when I want to experience what it is like to live like a local.
Please use AirBnB consciously and as originally intended.
Flights
Skyscanner
Skyscanner is great if you are looking for flights to your next destination.
