Thanks to the internet, we now have so many resources at our disposal to help us discover a new place.

Whether it’s finding a highly-rated hostel on Hostelworld.com or sussing out the best breakfast cafe on Spotted By Locals, there are hundreds of website out there to help travellers on the go.

Blogs are also a really good resource for following other like-minded travellers and gaining tips and advice on certain places.
