With the incredible rise of social media, the way we travel has changed.
It used to be a case of picking a destination from a brochure, before visiting a travel agent to make a booking in person.
This could be a long process from picking the place to finally jetting off, and holidays were selected based on photographs and recommendations.
The rise of the internet has changed all of that; now we can see glamorous destinations all over our Instagram feeds, feel the envy at another incredible travel vlog, and take advantage of last minute deals.
Cheap flights are a regular deal, and we can book our flights to travel the world at the touch of a button.
Our chosen destination can be easily swayed by seeing our favourite vlogger sipping cocktails on a golden beach, or looking chic at a local market.
As an added bonus, travel bloggers often have crucial insider information, and can offer a number of tricks and tips to get the best deals on your holiday.
