Travel.
I've had some amazing opportunities that have brought me to many different places in the world. In many cases, I've stayed in hostels, or with someone I know. I seek out the most authentic exposure to what life is actually like in any place. I talk to people about their lives. Not only is this incredibly fulfilling and informative, it also tends to be much more affordable!

Stay.
Vacation Rentals
Vacation rentals are my preferred accommodation method when I'm traveling. I'm partial to Airbnb because I think the user experience on their platform is second to none. I'm aware of some of the criticisms of the vacation rental industry, however I will continue to support hosts that utilize the service in its intended form. I believe when used correctly, vacation rentals provide mutual benefit to guests, hosts and their communities. Check out some of the Airbnbs I've stayed in below. I highly recommend all of them for your next trip!
Hostels
Aside from vacation rentals, I've also really enjoyed my experiences in hostels. I've stayed in hostels in a handful of places all over the world. If you're open to it, I highly recommend staying at a hostel the next chance you get. Here are some of the hostels I've been to:
