A week long trip to Italy These are some photos from a beautiful trip I went on to Italy! My favorite sight was at the top of the Rose Garden in Florence (1st picture). Beginning the trip, we first arrived in Rome and spent time at the Colosseum (2nd picture), the Roman Forum, Vatican City, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and some basilicas. Then, we traveled to Amalfi an…

Thoughts on paying for convenience? What are your thoughts on paying for convenience while traveling? I’m not talking about things like nicer plane tickets or hotels, but things like paying extra to skip lines, paying extra for front row chairs at the beach, paying to get a great table in a restaurant, etc. I am personally all for paying for convenience. However, I just saw a Face…

Where in central or southern Europe did you enjoy solo traveling the most? Hi guys, male in his 20s here. I have never been out the country nor been on a plane ever before and I have been considering lately to solo travel for a week somewhere in central or southern Europe, I thought about maybe Spain, Poland or Germany, not really sure. I wanted to hear from other people where did they enjoy the most and felt “welcomed…

Airport Staff – How regularly do people ask for free upgrades? Is this really still a thing in 2025? Being awkwardly British, I can’t think of anything more horrific than asking for a free upgrade. I was waiting to board a flight from Dublin to Seattle last year and some American bloke who was apparently in the Army was kicking off with the gate agent as they wouldn’t give him a free military upgrade. Needl…

14 days in Australia – Itinerary advice Hello everyone, I’m planning a 2 week vacation in Australia this April with my parents (67yo and 70yo), it’s the first time for us all. They are okay physically but not super active in their day to day. Due to their age, costs and distance (we’re travelling from the UK) it’s unlikely they’ll return in the future. I’m thinking of hitting the “ma…

Guadeloupe!!! Before my trip to Guadeloupe, I couldn’t find a ton of info about what to expect or plan for – at least in English. So, I’m here to share my experience in case another curious traveller finds it useful. Guadeloupe is French speaking – not in an “everyone still knows English kind of way,” but in an “everyone actually speaks just French” way. Tha…

First time traveling, is Hungary great to go to ? So I think next year I plan on traveling for my first time for about a week (8-10 days) and I’m wondering if Hungary would be a great trip ? I’m 21 and I’d be going by myself but I’m fine with that. I have fascination with Hungarian history as I think it’s neat how they were a nomadic people that eventually settled to where they are now. I’ll de…

On the…

India E-Visa Question: Date of Flight Leaving or Date of Landing? A potentially stupid question but I am applying for a 30 days tourism e-visa for India. Should I put the day my flight leaves as the expected day of arrival (March 9) or the day the plane will actually land in India (March 10)? I read that arriving later than your expected day of arrival can be an issue but then also that they won’t let you boar…

Travel journal apps that leverage Google maps? Are there any travel journal apps that depend on Google maps mainly? When traveling, I use Google maps extensively for basically everything. It would be super nice if I could create an entry that links to a specific Google maps location, and that entry shows up on some map UI. Along with uploading pictures and some text of course. I’m building …

Why is there so much pressure to travel in your 20s, and why is it downplayed when you start in your 30s? If you were able to travel in your 20s, that’s amazing! But I feel like there’s this huge expectation that you have to travel in your 20s or you’ve missed your chance. The way people talk about it online makes it seem like if you don’t see the world before 30, you’ll never experience it the “right way.” I’m 28, and I dream of traveling, but I co…

I will have a week+ break between the two conferences. What do people recommend for a female solo traveller that don’t break the bank? FWIW I’m Australian but not caucasian (and wear hij…
