Book an Experience

I love using GetYourGuide to book guided tours and experiences that help me get an overview of a city, enjoy local experiences or learn history.

eSims for Data

Get access to data from the moment you land, making it easy to call a rideshare, check exchange rates, and contact loved ones. Airalo makes it so easy to set up and top up!

Travel Insurance

You never know what can happen while you’re on the road, and you don’t want to put yourself (or your friends/family) out! So get insured with SafetyWing - they’ve been super reliable for me.

My promise to you

My recommendations are based on my own experiences and preferences, along with tips from people I know and trust. Working with partners like Booking.com, GetYourGuide, and others helps me keep this site running and allows me to keep investing in honest, helpful travel content — at no extra cost to you. Win-win! 💚

At Travelynne, I aim to give you as much useful info as possible so you can learn from both my wins and my travel mishaps. I do my best to work with trusted partners and share transparent, real reviews — of course, every trip is different, and your experience may not be exactly the same as mine.

Still, I’ll always keep it real and only recommend things I’d use myself.

If you have questions, ideas, or want to collaborate — I’d love to hear from you!
