Welcome, smart traveler!
This is your place for actionable travel tips, tricks, and advice.
You’re here because:
- You want to travel responsibly and affordably.
- You seek authentic and meaningful interactions on the road.
- You don’t blindly trust what the mass media says.
- You know the world is much safer than the news suggests.
- You’re ready to explore the globe at your own pace, with an open mind and heart.

How 33 Travel Tips Was Born?
Just like you, we were fed up with the same old regurgitated “advice” dominating the travel industry. As avid travelers, we craved actionable tips that are genuinely helpful and easy to follow.
That’s why one day, while sipping dark beer and stuffing our pretty faces with local delicacies in the stunning city of Bratislava, we exclaimed, “Enough with advice from people who’ve never ventured beyond their hometown!”
Seated at a table, we grabbed a piece of paper and hastily sketched out a plan to create the most valuable travel website.
Yes, it’s a bold claim, but we have the experience to back it up. We know how to travel, what to see, and how to save a penny or two while maximizing your destination experience.
But what good is all this knowledge if we can’t share it with others, right?
This leads us to the idea behind 33 Travel Tips.
We’re here to guide you in choosing the best places to visit, the most enticing spots to eat and drink, and the most comfortable accommodations. All without draining your wallet or sharing a room with a dozen snoring strangers.
And before you wonder, “Why exactly 33 travel tips?” – here’s our answer.
In our vast experience, 33 is the ideal number to comprehensively cover a destination’s must-know tips, activities, and insights. Sometimes it’s a tad more, sometimes a bit less. But in most cases, 33 is the sweet spot to cover all aspects of a travel destination.
