Your 2026 Travel Questions, Answered

What is the best travel insurance for backpackers on a tight budget?

For backpackers, we recommend looking for flexible, long-term policies that cover adventure activities and offer high medical limits. Brands like SafetyWing and World Nomads often provide the right balance of affordability and essential coverage for long-term travelers.

How can I find truly cheap last-minute flight deals?

The key is flexibility. Use search engines like Google Flights with flexible date grids, set up price alerts, and consider alternative airports. Our Deals & Savings page is updated weekly with curated mistake fares and promotions.

What's the most important feature to look for in a travel backpack?

Beyond size, prioritize comfort and harness system quality. A properly fitting torso harness is more important than extra pockets. Look for bags with adjustable, padded straps and a breathable back panel for long travel days.
