Activities
Viator
Travel marketplace packed with travel experiences from half & full day tours, classes, tickets to local events, airport transfers, and other transportation options. Since this is a consolidator, it’s important to read the reviews before booking!
Context Travel
Tours and experiences led by local scholars and highly-trained specialists. Context is perfect for deeply curious travelers. This B-Corp also offers fantastic tours tailored for families to keep the kids interested! I highly recommend any of their tours.
EatWith
Foodies will love this global community for shared food experiences. EatWith offers unique culinary experiences to meet locals and learn about the culture through food. Use Refer a Friend code = 2BCA411E to save $12 on an experience over $105!
Flytographer
Hire an amazing local photographer, anywhere in the world! Give yourself the gift of professional photos to capture the memories of your special trip. I’ve booked Flytographers in Lisbon, Maui, and Slovenia and have cherished the photos!
Urban Adventure
If you’re going to a big city, check out these half and full day tours led by local guides. They are owned by Intrepid, the world's largest B-Corporation certified travel company. Their tours are a phenomenal value and a great way to meet locals.
Project Expedition
Project Expedition is another global tour and transportation consolidator, so check reviews prior to booking. If you are going on a cruise, they have a special Shore Excursion platform that offers the same guarantees as the boat, but for much better prices!
Accommodations
Virtuoso Hotels
Virtuoso is the leading global network of agencies specializing in luxury and experiential travel, with more than 20,000 advisors. If you find a hotel you want to book, please reach out to me at hello@carpediemtraveler and I can assist you in getting the Virtuoso amenities!
Plum Guide
Expertly vetted home rentals around the world. Like airbnb but better due to their superior guarantees and customer service. If you decide to book a property, I would be SO appreciative if on the checkout page, you select the "I have a code" and "I have a partner code" and enter "carpe-diem-traveler" - it doesn't add anything to your costs, but would give me a small referral commission :)

Vetted accommodations tailored to digital nomads and long-term travelers. I created this personalized bundle for Lisbon & Rome for 2 weeks each.
Flataway - Long Bundle
Vetted accommodations tailored to digital nomads and long-term travelers. I created this personalized bundle for Lisbon & Rome for 2 months each.

Co-living and remote working community. Most of their trips are geared towards early to mid-career digital nomads, but they do offer special editions for families!
