India remains a mystery I am at the end of 2 weeks solo in India . It has been a fascinating and rewarding trip. I’ve travelled a lot (40+ countries ) and I like that at some point you start to get a sense of the people ,their motivations , what their lives are like day to day, how their community works . Region A doesn’t like region B that sort of thing. I didn’t real…

Our trip to Florence last week My wife wanted to go to Florence to see the La Specola museum especially to see their anatomical wax models (photo’s 9-11). She makes models herself for various subjects. To get there, we drove from the Netherlands to Florence with a stop of 2 nights in Switzerland for a hike (photo’s 1-3) which was spectacular. Afterwards we drove further to Fl…

Wrong e-visa entry Hey, has anyone had any trouble entering Vietnam with the wrong e-visa entry? I recently applied for an e-visa and received approval. However, I mistakenly selected Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) Airport as my entry point instead of Hanoi (HAN) Airport, where I actually intend to arrive. Will this cause any issues upon arrival, or am I safe since I sele…

Where have you been able to travel as a US citizen with a criminal record? unfortunately I made a poor decision when I was 18 and although I have totally turned my life around.. the implications are that I still have a criminal record. I am now 35, so the crime is from many years ago and I have never gotten in trouble since. I am finally making money to fulfill my dream of traveling, but I’m afraid of how this old reco…

My Vacation is booked but my passport was sent back to my country Hey Reddit first post here but I just have a question. I have a trip booked for next week Friday. My passport was ordered from Ireland to Canada and apparently got here on the 25th on January. I live on campus and got no notification or message that my passport had arrived till my mom randomly checked and saw that there was a letter for me to g…

Kenya plastic bag ban question for upcoming trip Hi all I’m aware that plastic bags are banned but what I’m unclear on is if it’s all plastic or just single use? UK and USA security expect a 1L bag max, and most of the time they’re thick plastic, silicone, etc. Additionally, for carrying medicine I usually use a Ziploc and instead was hoping to use something like this but am unsure it’d permit…

What is the best time to go to the Grand Canyon without the crowds? I know there can be snow and cold temps early in the year, but ideally what time frame is ideal and what is a good place to stay. submitted by /u/Key_Path9679

How long do you recommend visiting Washington DC I’m planning some budget-friendly trips around the U.S. that are easy to get to from Boston! To keep things simple, I even bought six identical gray T-shirts from Amazon—less packing, less stress. One place I’m really excited about is Washington, D.C. I’d love to see the national monuments and explore the Smithsonian museums. Since I’m a remote …

Need help with a USA visa question, hope this is the right place Hello! I am currently on a 4 month trip through the USA and Mexico. I entered the USA with an ESTA, and am now in Mexico until late March, when I will shortly visit New York before heading home. However; I am not sure if I can legally enter America again. For clarity’s sake I’ll try to keep this concise. -21st of November: entered USA -26th of D…

What are some truly unique experiences or places only found in certain (or very few) locations in America? I am looking for attractions that are not found in many places and are truly unique. For example I will be told to go to an observation deck that is “one of a kind” in NYC, but its not that different from an observation deck in Chicago. Same with art museums, zoos, escape rooms, and parks. Yes, each of these are unique in there own way, but the …

15.5 hr United flight vs 18.5 hr JAL flight (Chicago -> Tokyo) I am going to be traveling to Japan in a few months and haven’t flown internationally. However, I’ve heard that JAL and ANA are a lot better than US carriers. The two options in the title are about the same price, but I’m wondering if the additional time (due to a longer layover) from the Japan Airlines flight is worth it over the united flight….

Where to go in August?? My bf and I are looking to go somewhere mid-August; about 7-8 days. We are based in the US. I was thinking Madrid and Barcelona but have read that the heat can make it unenjoyable….. Open to all ideas, we like a mixture of culture (so museums, historic sites, etc), hiking/outdoors, and we are big foodies. Looking to spend around $4,000 USD tot…

where to recover from burnout — quiet, cheap, and sunlight? So I want to go backpacking through asia and wanted to start in Japan and maybe hang out there for a bit. However I’m currently too burned out to start such a big adventure. Or in the very least I feel like if I did start it, it wouldn’t hit right. I’d miss out on too much of it by not being fully present. Am I crazy for wanting to go to a place…

Trip to Cracovia with my girlfriend Hi everyone, can anyone help me with a doubt I have? I was thinking of leaving with my girlfriend for a week-long getaway together in April and I was thinking of Krakow in Poland as a destination, has anyone been there on holiday and can tell me that a whole week is perhaps a bit too much to spend there? Thank you 🙂 submitted by /u/FoxU_…

Best option of these for exhaustion and feeling down? Hi everyone, I decided to go to Madeira this month. Its low season and the prices are great so I will be able to go last minute. I’m debating between 2 itinerary options and I would appreciate any insight to which one you recommend be better for me. I’ve been extremely down lately and stressed so I don’t know which one is better for me: Madeira …

Dubai Itinerary / Abu Dabhi Day Trip – Need places to visit recommendations! Hi r/travel! I needed help with my itinerary, which I’ve updated from my previous post! I’m looking at making an itinerary for a week’s stay in Dubai. I think I’ve got most days sorted out except for a trip to Abu Dabhi. I’m not sure what to do. I would love some recommendations to fill up my schedule! Stay Location: Palm Jumeirah Day 1 (Half Da…

Alternatives to Google maps for finding restaurants? I’m generally a “See what’s good in the area when it’s time to eat” type of person. Historically, I would just search google maps for “restaurants near me” and then filter for what was currently open and highly rated. But, like so many things, it looks like it’s become victim of the enshitification of the internet. Anyone found decent alternativ…

Egypt, December 2024 (Cairo and Sharm El-Sheikh). A positive experience! Greetings to you all! I bet I am not the only who has gone down that rabbit hole of threads about other people’s experience while traveling to Egypt, so I would like to share mine. Firstly, I am from Colombia, and I feel this is important to mention, since probably what I would not see as terribly alarming would be the opposite for someone who …

Vienna & Budapest 12 night – should I split half and half or spend more time in Vienna? I am taking my 78 old year mom to visit Vienna and Budapest during the first two week of May. We are staying twelve night. I am debating whether I should I split my trip evenly between the city? or is there more to do in Vienna than Budapest? I was think of doing 7 day in Vienna (including 1 day trip to Bratislava) and 5 (half day for transfer) …
