Here’s a Tip!

If you’re traveling in a group, consider booking directly through the airline. Some offer group rates and extra baggage allowances. This can provide fare guarantees, ensuring everyone pays the same price. It can also streamline problem-solving for issues like flight cancellations, rather than a third party.

Navigate like a local

Scooters and Rickshaws

Scooters and Rickshaws In Vietnam, Cambodia, and most of Southeast Asia, and Auto-rickshaws, known as tuk-tuk are common for moving around the town.

Ride share apps

You can use App-Based hailed Cabs such as Uber, Bolt, or local equivalents (Grab in Asia). They track routes and share trip details with emergency contact. In most African cities, Uber and Bolt are also widely available.

Local Buses

If you have to travel to smaller towns, buses (15 – 20 passengers) are a great and cheap alternative. No need to book ahead. Simply go to any local bus terminal.
