How do you feel after getting back from a fun trip? The trip I just got back from was Thanksgiving in a different state, staying with people, family friends, that had invited me over (I’m a student away from home). They were super hospitable, took us around on hikes and the scenery was amazing, and I loved meeting and hanging out with everyone, especially the people my age. So it wasn’t any crazy…

Travelling through India with a visible difference Hello all, I would just like to post here in order to advise that if you have some sort of physical difference that travelling through India will possibly present some difficulties. I am an experienced traveller, having been to 64 countries, so I am aware that social and cultural norms differ from place to place. I also have facial scarring, on…

Mid-life Gap Year: Fun or life-changing? My wife(30F) and I(33M) are debating putting our life on hold to spend a year abroad, but only want to do it if we think it could fundamentally change us for the better. Otherwise we’ll work, retire, and then travel. QUESTION: Has anyone else ever left behind a perfectly good (if not great) lifestyle to travel for a long period? Was it worth the…

I regret travelling with my situationship. I recently embarked on a 9-day cruise with three couples, all of whom I love and have traveled with extensively in the past. Since I was the only single person on the trip, I decided to bring along a girl I’ve been talking to for a while. We’ve been friends and have recently started hanging out more seriously, but it’s still early in our relatio…

Got randomly selected to join Clear? I was going through the regular security line for the airport and was pulled aside and told I could join Clear for free and cut the line. I was a bit suspicious but went along with it. After entering my email and phone number and getting my face and eyes and whatnot scanned I then had to scan my ID. After it errored out a couple times the worker…

Flying with Juneyao Airlines Hi! Me and my friend are going to Japan next year. We wanted to book via Juneyao Airlines but we were shocked at some reviews, while other reviews were pretty good. We are flying from Brussels via Shanghai to Osaka. Some of our questions are: What if the first flight gets delayed so much that we won’t be able to make the next one? How is the cu…

Where in Mexico to go? Husband and I are talking about traveling to Mexico or Costa Rica in May next year. We’ve never been to either. I’ve done research into costs Rica for a trip we were supposed to take in 2020 but then covid. We have a 3 year old son who will be joining us. We aren’t really resort people. Usually we like to get out and about in the city and explor…

Europe in mid-January? My husband and I are looking to travel to Europe in mid-January for a holiday weekend (4 days). We’re located in Florida, USA so I am not looking for warm weather. We’ve been to London in January and liked it, but we have a trip planned there for April. I wouldn’t be opposed to Paris, but we went in 2024 so it would be cool to go somewhere new …

50th Anniversary in New Orleans Planning a 50th Anniversary for my parents and adult siblings/spouses in New Orleans in April. Looking for very special, fun, or VIP-type experiences (either dining or activities) beyond the usual to make this really memorable for my mom and dad. (Something like Mosquito Kitchen would have been perfect except my SIL doesn’t do seafood.) We have …

What do you consider to be a low review on sites like Booking or Hotels.com? I made a post earlier asking for opinions on a hotel with a 6.4 on Booking and 7.0 on Hotels, and was surprised to hear so many people say they’d never stay at a hotel with reviews that low. I know those reviews aren’t great, but I wouldn’t have put them in “don’t book this under any circumstances” territory. So what do you generally consider t…

Upscale small towns? Hey everyone, How are you?

Travel Router We stayed in Dublin recently for a work trip/vacation and one of our hotels had open WiFi. Just curious, does anyone travel with a travel router for security or is it useless if the hotel wifi is unprotected? submitted by /u/Capt_Gremerica

Gift ideas for older travellers? My parents are in their late 60s and will be travelling to Vietnam and Thailand from Canada in a couple of months. I’m thinking about what to get them for Christmas and wonder if there’s anything that would make their flights/travel more comfortable, or something that would be useful for them while they’re there?
