These are sites & services that I use when traveling internationally (I am posting this here as people offline keep asking which companies I use).

Google Flights: locate inexpensive tickets (alternative is Skyscanner)
Airfordable: make layaway payments on airline tickets months in advance
Booking & Airbnb: secure a reasonable hotel or rental home at a reasonable price.
Trip Advisor & Airbnb Experiences: identify enjoyable activities in the area
Passport Health: identify needed vaccines or medicine against regional viruses or deadly bacteria
Global Rescue: can evacuate you if you become
- sick or injured
- trapped due to natural disasters
- stuck in an unstable political environment
Satellite phone: checkout Iridium, but there are plenty of options available elsewhere
Wise International Debit Card: Convert money into local currency & avoid exchange fees. You can also establish a presence at a local bank without visiting the bank using their services
YouTube: watch videos of previous traveler to avoid breaking local laws & navigate around trouble spots
Google Translate app (iOS, iPad, Apple Watch, or Android): translate signs, letters on packaging (like grocery stores) or foreign letters on the go

That’s it! Enjoy!
