On The Beach In Bora Bora

Experienced travelers know that booking direct gives you a lot more protection when things go wrong. Most only learn this after having to cancel or change a flight. There are also a lot of rules and policies that come into play, and knowing the refund options is part of planning too.

I had fallen into the routine of doing all of my research and comparison within the one booking platform I typically use. That was until I started researching the area around a property, and stumbled upon the same place cheaper on another platform. That's how I ended up with a fantastic place on the beach in Bora Bora that was looking like it was going to be out of my budget. Here's a clever way to compare across platforms.

My takeaway here is to use the unexpected downtime to make the rest of your travel easier. And if you know me, you'll know I love doing things for my future self. Those things you didn't have time to research or decide on before you left? Now's your chance.
