Which country is best for a budget adventurer, Indonesia or Vietnam? I’m planning a one-month trip with my boyfriend, and we’re both looking for an adventurous and unique experience. I initially thought about going to Indonesia for its amazing volcano hikes, cultural experiences, and beautiful beaches, but I’ve heard it can be pricey. On the other hand, Vietnam is known for being budget-friendly, but it seems mor…

Wife got rejected for India evisa So my wife born in Canada got rejected for India evisa. The remarks said “you may apply for regular/official visa at nearest Indian embassy. My question is has anybody got rejected for evisa but then got approved for regular visa in the passport? The reason she got rejected is because her parents are born in Pakistan. What are the chances she ge…

Turkish Delight: dispatches from Istanbul. 🇹🇷 Got lost in Istanbul for a little bit at the end of November. Without a doubt it’s one of the most electric and dynamic cities I’ve been to. Hope you enjoy the photos. submitted by /u/chicagoose3

Best time to visit Olympic National Park I’ve seen mixed reviews when the best time to visit is. I want the full Washington experience. I don’t want it to be dry and hot when I go if that makes sense? I’d love to experience actual rain in the rain forest but not extremely muddy or dangerous? submitted by /u/Flashy-Love5033

Just came back from a 10 day Solo Trip to Dubai It was so boring ! I regret it The City has no soul at all. One minute you feel you are in Pakistan the next Kuwait and the next you are in Los Angeles. And not in a cute Multicultural paradise way because the different worlds in Dubai do not mix. When you are walking around in Dubai Mall is the only time you will see the local native Arabs and they are walking around in thei…

Solo motorcycling through Mongolia or Kyrgyzstan? 29F Not sure who out there might have some insight but I’m planning a trip for June to visit somewhere in Central Asia. I’d like to rent a motorcycle while I’m there–both look like pretty phenomenal places to ride through. I’m not hell bent on riding across the entire country by any means. I’m interested in doing a horse trek, staying with the noma…

Best Travel Headphones for a Big Head? I’m looking for headphones for our family for an upcoming 13 hour flight but so many reviews talk about how tight and snug they fit. One of the adults I’m buying for has a huge head, big enough that he can’t wear a ball cap because none of them fit. Can anyone recommend headphones that adjust large enough to fit a huge head? submitted by …

Refund for the outbound ticket only after having paid a round-trip Here’s my situation: I purchased a round-trip ticket (Paris–Mumbai–Paris) through BudgetAir.fr. I’m considering either canceling or modifying the return leg (Mumbai–Paris), but I need an idea of the possible refund amount before making a decision. When I contacted customer service, they said I’d only find out how much I could get back after com…

Is it normal to feel *totally* wiped out after just a few days of travel? I used to travel a lot when younger – I’m now in my 30’s. Took a round trip this week for work, first time traveling solo in almost 20 years – ! Dang! Since coming back all I want to do is sleep, lounge, watch shows, but even my body hurts/throat is sore/head aches a bit almost like I’m sick. It’s day 2 of this after being back now! Is this norm…

What is going through international customs like? Is it different than same country flights? I’m about to go on my first out of country flight in a few months. I have crazy high anxiety and going through security is already stressful, and it would help a lot to know if there are any differences and if so, what they are between security for a flight in the same country and customs/security for international flights submitted by /u…

Nice packing cubes you would love to receive as a gift? I’m looking to give packing cubes as a gift for a family who travels internationally on long trips all of the time. She appreciates the finer things so I want them to maybe look nice and be higher quality, but obviously don’t want to compromise their usefulness. I’ve seen lots of recommendations for budget packing cubes, but are there any splurg…

LHR to CGK 50 min layover (Qatar Airways) I’m flying from London Heathrow to Jakarta Hatta airport. There is a 50 min layover in DOH. I will have checked in luggage. Is 50 mins enough time to catch a connecting flight? Will it be enough time for bags to be transferred? Taken from Google flights. Flying with Qatar the full journey. Single ticket I’m assuming. Edit – connection, not lay…

Halfway through the trip, friend getting on my nerves Going in, they weren’t open to planning in-depth. I predicted scenarios where there would be uncertainties around stay and other arrangements. They said “we would figure it out”. And I agreed. Didn’t want to be overbearing. This was supposed to be a budget trip, so when I ordered a dish that cost a tiny bit over our budget, she shut down like a…

Favorite single-location destination? My wife and I are avid travelers, mostly international (we live in California, USA), but since having kids travel has become a lot more complicated. I know, what a shocker. We’re traditionally very active travelers, hopping from spot to spot every two or three days on our 1-2 week trips, but that doesn’t work for us with a 1-year-old and a 4-ye…

Question – Ferry times on Isla del Sol, Bolivia and current situation Hello, I’ll be spending a night on Isla del Sol in Bolivia in Yumani. The next morning I’d like to visit the north of the island. I know there was a conflict for many years on the island that essentially divided the north and south and no tourists were allowed to visit the north. It’s hard to find any official information on the status of this…
