As you can imagine, traveling full-time for the last 4,500+ days, through 80 countries, across all 7 continents…ALL while creating content and running HoneyTrek is pretty full on. To make all the magic happen, we have a few tricks up our sleeve and a handful of invaluable HoneyTrek partners! Check out some of our favorite resources, they could just become an arrow in your quiver of awesome!
What’s a good video…without great music? After dabbling with various royalty-free services for years, we finally found a royalty-free music library we could count on for quality songs that fit the vibe of our travels. It’s less than $15/month and you can whitelist all your social media accounts so you never have to worry about getting flagged or demonetized again!
When people hear that we live on the road one of their first questions is…”How do you get your mail?” The answer is simple: We have a physical address (not a PO Box) where we get everything sent, and it all gets digitized so we can read it immediately from anywhere in the world, if we need it sent to us, they only charge $1 over the cost of postage. Your Best Address is family-run, and honestly, the kindest & hardest-working outfit you could imagine!
We used to wonder if our emails actually reached the intended recipient (or landed in their spam). And even if it does land in their inbox we never knew if they opened the email. Those days are over thanks to MailTracker! It’s on the pricier side, but if it helps you close one deal per year it more than pays for itself!
Wherever or whenever we travel, we rest assured our health, transportation, and belongings, and most of all, any hiccup is with our Allianz All Trips travel insurance. A must-have for any frequent traveler! FYI: We use the All Trips Premier Plan and it covers every single flight/rental car/luggage/hotel/cruise/etc ALL year!
We all need a rental car on occasion…and over the years we have found that Discover Cars has the best prices domestically and abroad. Obviously do your own research and compare, but you might as well start here as your baseline…and scoop some sick deals!
Southwest has been our go-to airline in North and Central America since 2014. Hands down the best frequent flyer program in the world, including their companion pass which allows us to fly BOGO and be able to afford so many more trips. Plus, an airline that gives everyone free baggage and snacks is looking out for their people. Grab one of their credit cards, and feel the LUV!
As nomads without a fixed address, Amazon’s lockers have been the go-to way for us to receive packages around the US. Also, their affiliate program from our product recommendations is one of the many ways we support our small business. Shopping from our links is so appreciated!
We used to host with another provider (with the initials BH, lol), and our site was always slow, crashing, and didn’t rank well for SEO. Then a friend recommended GreenGeeks. Porting our sites over was a breeze, our site is blazing fast now, and our pageviews have nearly doubled thanks to page speed and better SEO ranking. Not to mention our email delivery went up a lot on their servers.
