Many people write to us asking for information on how to find accommodations during their journey. Accommodation concerns are common when embarking on an adventure. However, there is good news, and this concern is completely unfounded, especially in today’s world. Let us explain why. Firstly, technology has made finding nightly accommodations infinitely easier and more straightforward than ever before, and this is thanks to apps that you can download on your phone, such as Booking, Kayak, Trivago, and Airbnb. These apps easily bring all the accommodation possibilities in a specific geographic area to your phone. Even if you don’t speak a word of English, you can use the app in your own language and book any type of accommodation (hotels, B&Bs, campgrounds, agritourism, apartments, etc.). You can do exactly what we’ve done hundreds of times: At a certain time of the day, let’s say around 3-4 PM (if you plan to stop around 5-6 PM), you can take out your phone and search on Booking, setting the geographic area where you want to find accommodation as the country you plan to reach by the end of the day or when you’ve decided to stop. You can also search using the “search around me” option. (The important thing is to make a reservation at least 1 hour before your arrival at the accommodation to give the Hotel time to prepare for your arrival.) Just check the NorthCape4000 route map, choose a town or city ahead of your current location, and use the booking apps to find your preferred accommodation in that location. We assure you that there’s nothing else you need to do to find a different place to sleep every night. This simple process is how we’ve found accommodations all over the world, even in the most remote and less serviced areas, which, by the way, are far less developed and served than Europe, one of the world’s most developed and serviced continents. Participants in all previous editions have done exactly the same, and no one has had trouble finding accommodation. You should approach it with the mindset that adventure means finding what you need along the way, and in Europe, there is hardly ever a problem doing that. On these apps, you can search for available accommodations, sort them by price, reviews, distance from your current location, and various other filters. It’s all extremely simple and always available in your language to avoid misunderstandings or booking issues. All you need is a debit or credit card, and you can book a reservation without any problems in 10 seconds. Plus, many accommodations accept bookings with free cancellation. Easier than this. If you’ve never booked accommodations with these apps, download Booking.com, Expedia, or another booking app on your phone right away and get familiar with it. It’s important, just like with other aspects of the adventure, that you arrive at the start after becoming familiar with all the tools you’ll use during the journey, and we can guarantee that instant booking apps will be one of the tools you’ll love the most. They provide freedom of choice, transparency, and, most importantly, the ability to book with very little notice, which is crucial when you’re embarking on a self-supported adventure where plans can change from day to day. We remind you that the entire raid takes place in one of the most civilized, serviced, and safe places on the planet: Western Europe
