How to Use Google Flights’ Explore Tool

Sep 7, 2020

The way everyone uses Google Flights is not the way I make the most of it. I have talked about the $375 roundtrip tickets that Tyler and I booked to Copenhagen, a place we had not previously considered going and where we had one of the best dining experiences ever, but we didn’t just randomly search “Copenhagen” with some dates and hope for the best; we used the Google Flights' Explore tool.

What We Miss About Traveling

May 21, 2020

Katie and Megan

We are both fortunate that we, as well as our friends and family, are in good health. We have great jobs with a company that treats us well. We’re at home in Florida with our loved ones. It feels silly to complain about our “cancelled vacations,” but it goes beyond that.
