Buy your flight ticket on Skyscanner
Skyscanner is an app that lets you search for flights (you can also check car rentals & hotels). The interface is intuitive and you can easily compare different criteria such as price & time, direct flights or not, etc. There are no hidden fees and you can even set up price alerts. If you’re an adventurous person that is looking to fly somewhere at a cheap price, you will love this: enter the city you’re flying from and select “everywhere” as your destination, you’ll be amazed with some of the results!

Airbnb for a local experience
Airbnb offers all sorts of options from renting a room or flat to local experiences such as walking tours or local guides. You can easily communicate with the hosts before booking a place and you won’t be surrounded by tourists! So if you’re avoiding a touristic vibe, I would definitely recommend Airbnb.
