EXPLORE INFORMED is a travel show where we dig into the details of travel, investigate an interesting topic, or attempt to answer a common question -- all with the goal of hopefully learning something new so that next time we go exploring, we go better informed.
We hope to provide information, advice, and education in the form of travel tips, travel hacks, travel essentials, and even travel warnings or things to watch out for - so you can explore the world a little smarter.
Please Note: Unless otherwise noted, I am NOT being paid or reimbursed to talk about specific travel brands (e.g., airlines, hotel chains, tour operators). My intent is to simply offer my true, honest opinion based on what I know, research, read, etc.

Do not be scammed, do not buy Expedia insurance, I canceled my trip two days before because a partner of my son has covit19 and we have to quarantine while we do the tests and they do not recognize that as a valid cause.

[@zypher5732]

Well speaking from what I experienced, they're actually a different company but they partnered up with expedia so they can sell their products . And covi was so sudden and it wasn't covered due to unknown reasons. At least its what the representative from the insurance told me

[@dogbsas]

By commission. They get a 15% of what the hotel's make. APX. Period. Bye.

[@gigsz2982]

Jai shree raam

[@marysheridan7694]

AVOID BOOKING WITH EXPEDIA!!!

[@judyengle7728]

Intro too long and boring

[@hostellingaroundtheworld9694]

Booking.com are the worst plataform for hosts!!! Don't use that!!!

[@marysheridan7694]

Agree! Any company associated with Expedia are dreadful, and Trip Advisor is another one!
