I’m planning to visit Gotland and more specifically the Bergman Center on Fårö Island in perhaps May next year, as part of an Interrail trip – ie not driving myself. From what I can see, there is a bus that would take me from Visby to the ferry to Fårö, …

Traveling with layovers in Dubai I am travelling with my boyfriend and we have layovers in Dubai going and coming. My boyfriend is having dental surgery before traveling and will be receiving codeine which threw us down the rabbit hole of legalities in Dubai. Long story short, he will be leaving his codeine behind but he is a pot smoker and I’ve read horrors about travels in Du…

Flight cancelation compensation by 3rd party Hi, which 3rd party you would suggest to apply for compensation of flight cancelation? I used AirHelp for one claim almost 5 months ago ago and haven’t got compensation yet.

Searching for a new carry-on for my next adventure Looking for a new carry-on with wheels that I can easily pick up for any stairs, uneven streets etc. Ideally max carry-on size. I don’t want backpack straps since I’d normally bring a backpack “personal item” with me and don’t really care about internal organization. Prefer soft-sided but not picky. I typically travel with just an overstuffed ba…

3 days USA getaway suggestions? I have an upcoming 3 day off in early December and I wanted to visit a US city on the east coast. I’m from Canada, F28 travelling solo and I would take a flight to travel. I like nature and hikes so places around a national park would be nice. I’m not a fan of shopping or museums. Night life is not a priority but I can see myself going out for o…

Mexico esim for pixel phone Works! Just wanted to leave information about how Mexfon eSIM works for google pixel 7. Cheap plans, got a ~$8 6gb plan all done via email. Uses TelCel data.

How exactly are you supposed to fold and pack a lot of clothes? Every way I try seems too dense and takes up more space than it should. So maybe I’m overthinking this but… I’m moving abroad and trying to pack most of my clothes into a large luggage. I have tons of tshirts (the thick/heavy cotton kind), tons of socks/underwear, couple pairs of shorts and sweatpants, one single pair of jeans, and two sweaters. The order I’m trying to pack in is shirts>pants>sweaters>socks/underw…

Go slow locations in South East Asia? I’m taking 6 months off work (February to July) and looking for a few suggestions on places to set up. I want to book an apartment for 2 to 4 weeks and just take it slow – not rush around ticking off tourist attractions. Perhaps do some day trips here and there. Only one I have locked in so far is Chiang Mai and I like it because it’s big enoug…

Where’s somewhere that you found to be surprisingly hotter or colder than you expected? Just going off stereotypes of somewhere before someone chimes in with the “should have done your research” comments. Mine included: Spain during winter. Most northern European’s impressions of Spain are from summer holidays on the Costas. It came as a surprise to see the country under thick grey cloud, rain and chilly winds during January. Hon…
