Everyone knows about them, right? Lots of bloggers make money off referrals. However, I mostly see my blog as mostly a way to document things I do. If the info is useful to someone, great. Some posts I try to make useful--many are just anecdotal.

That being said, if you can use my referral codes, please do!

Booking.com
You get $25 back for a trip of $50 or more, and I get a $25 credit 
** You can be an existing customer ** 
The first website I go to for checking out prices of hostel and hotel-type accommodation.

Airbnb
You get $40 travel credit for a trip of $75 or more, and I get a $20 travel credit
** Must be a first time customer **
Airbnb is another good website to check for accommodation, especially for places where even hostel dormitory rooms are too expensive. It can be of value particularly when traveling with another person, as private rooms on Airbnb can often be found for cheaper than private hostel rooms.

Transferwise
Get a free international transfer of up to $500, I don't get a benefit unless at least 3 people do this
** Must be a first time customer ** 
Low-fee international cross-currency money transfers. For best value, change from the default
