These exceptional travel sites will help you find the perfect destination, show you how to pay for your travel expenses and everything in between.

Discover America
Many people think of travelling abroad when they imagine an exciting trip, but there are many beautiful, culturally diverse and unexpected locales right in the United States as well. Discover America is designed to first help you narrow in on the perfect location for your upcoming getaway and give you examples of other trips through real travelers’ blogs. After you’ve decided on a place, Discover America provides you with information about lodging, transportation and financial planning to make sure your trip goes off without a hitch.

National Geographic
National Geographic is a no-brainer when it comes to learning about exciting places, but what you may not know is that this beloved travel publication is also a great resource for planning your own trip. The Trip Ideas page of National Geographic’s website is broken down into categories such as family trips, tours of a lifetime, road trips, and beaches and islands to help you plan an adventure worthy of its own magazine spread. 

Lonely Planet
Long regarded as the best travel books for backpackers around the world, Lonely Planet has since expanded into an impressive website that will have you daydreaming of your next big getaway. On the Lonely Planet blog, you’ll find breathtaking photos, travel journals from staff members, tips for safe and affordable travel and a vast online community for fellow adventurers to share their own stories and advice.

Some yummy pasta dishes adorn the menu, as do meat entrees like Hanger Steak with spring onions, Suckling Pig Porchetta for Two and Ham’O’Day with mustard rye. Fish entrees include Curried Mussels with cauliflower, Shrimp Salad with celery-apple remoulade, and Big Eye Tuna with fennel.
