Peru Trip In May I’m planning a 9 day trip and I am interested in visiting Peru with my husband. I’ve gone twice with my parents to visit extended family in Lima and to visit Machu Picchu. But it’s been 10 years since I’ve gone. I mentioned my desire to go to Peru to my aunts that live there but they are essentially scaring me out of going. They kept telling me …

Random Passport Check in Budapest Had a late flight and was walking to hostel in Budapest around 1 AM when two guys in police uniforms + safety vests came up and asked where I was going and to see my passport. First day and i was tired so handed it over without thinking. They flipped through and one guy looked like he scanned it with a phone or something before giving it back. I…

April destination (Asia) – help me decide! Hi, planning to travel with the family this April for just over 2 weeks, I’ve 2 kids age 10 and 12 who are good travellers. We’ve always loved Thailand but really would like to avoid huge crowds of instagrammers (if you get me!), and anywhere that’s more seedy. We’re looking for a bit of adventure, great food, and white sandy beaches with good s…

My plan is: 1. Travel to Aurangabad by train after I land. Stay in a hostel in Aurangabad. Visit Ellora Caves, then return to Aurangaba at the same day.

Recommendation on best guide and safari specialist for a Senior trip to India (Golden Triangle, Rajasthan, Bandhavgarh Tiger Safari) My dad is celebrating his 70th birthday this year, and is asking me to plan a trip to India. Since the trip will just be for my senior father, myself (F), and my sister, I would much prefer to arrange a tour operator or local guide. Does anyone have any recommendations on highly personalized but still professional tours companies / guides? We p…

Rate my (very rough) Chile itinerary Hi all, I’m planning a two-ish week trip to Chile (on rather short notice, but stuff fell through at work and I work in a profession where, if time suddenly appears, you take advantage and plan a vacation) in February. So far, I only have a rough outline, which leaves out the lake region, which bums me out, but I’m not sure how to fit it in. I …

Argentina to Bolivia Advice Hi all, I’m planning to get a late bus from Salta in Argentina to arrive in La Quiaca early in the morning. Is it possible to make the border crossing and get the bus from Villazon to Uyuni in one day? Are there any collectivos that go from Villazon to Uyuni? Any experience of this trip would be much appreciated! submitted by /u/Beautiful…

Travelling Across Italy/Europe With Baggage Hello! I’m currently planning a trip to Italy for about 10 days and will be travelling from Canada. I’m looking to spend 1-2 days in Milan, Venice, Bologna, Rome and Naples. I know that’s a lot of ground to cover with such limited time but I believe it can be done. While planning out my trip I’ve come to conflict deciding on whether to travel fr…

Need Recommendations for Phoenix & Sedona, Arizona, United States My partner and I will be vacationing in Phoenix and Sedona, Arizona in late April of this year. I’ve been to Phoenix a few times in my childhood, but just once as an adult about 3 years ago. I’ve never been to Sedona but it’s been on my list for a while! He has never been to the great state of AZ. A few things to know: I think we’re going to fl…

Asked to a wedding in Sydney, Austrailia in November 2025, also want to go to New Zealand if I am in the area. I have no idea where to even start. I have 3 weeks of vacation and I can start on November 12th and end on December 2nd to have some time off before I return to work. Or I can take time off later in November and return mid December. This would mean going to Austrailia first then NZ, and fly home from NZ which is looking like a 3-4 leg journey. S…

U.S. Emergency Passport Transiting through AMS Let me preface this post by stating: I do not NEED to enter Amsterdam as far as visiting goes… I have had my passport stolen in Istanbul, and will hopefully be getting a US emergency passport in a few days. Here is my issue… The Netherlands doesn’t allow you to enter their country with an American emergency passport. I am flying from Istanb…

What country/culture ended up being way different than you anticipated? Just thinking back on how amazing my Poland trip was this past summer, and how much different the people were than I had anticipated. You always hear about the Polish face or how there’s little to no emotion, even my Polish friends here in the states joke about it. I also read a lot of history and it’s no secret that Poland has had a rough past……

Singapore: day trip to islands I have 1 full day left to spend in Singapore and was wondering if going to one of the islands accessible by ferry (Batam, Tanjung Pinang) would be worth it. I would probably try to walk around a bit and not go with a organized tour. Has anybody done this before? I’ve already seen everything in Singapore (I’ve been here multiple times) so am look…

Serious question: is there a worse airport than CDG? I’m traditionally kind of an airline apologist – all things considered it’s pretty wild we can hop on a rocket and cross the globe in a day, and there are certainly worse things than difficult travel logistics. But is there a worse overall airport than CDG? I’ve traveled quite a bit but every 5-6 years I fall into the “it isn’t as bad as I remem…

Sunwing – To Buy a Toddler Airplane Seat? Hi all, My husband and I are taking our 18-month old to Mexico for a week leaving tomorrow. We flew when he was 10-months and bought him a seat and he didn’t use it at all. So, this time around we didn’t buy him his own seat. Long story short, he’s way more mobile now and the more I think about it the more he thinks he needs a seat. I looked at…

Camino if you don’t like walking? Looking for advice/experience from both people who decided not to do the Camino de Santiago, or who deprioritized the ‘authentic pilgrimage’ and what you still liked about it! My family (60+M recently got into portaging + main trip-planner w/ 130% walking speed, 60+F happily walks 1-2 hrs on weekdays and more on weekends w/ 120% walking speed, 3…

Colombia’s Eje Cafetero and Bogotá — the perfect trip, until it wasn’t TLDR – I fell in love with this country and its amazing people. On my last day I witnessed a shooting and did my best to stop the guy from bleeding out. I’ve been in Colombia for 18 days now. It’s my first ever trip to this beautiful country and for the past few days I’ve been thinking about writing up all my wonderful experiences and sharing th…

How to get over first time jitters? I’m planning a trip to Greece in March but it will be my first time leaving the country. I’ve always wanted to travel, but now that I’m actually going to do it, I’m scared! For context, it’s just a general feeling of anxiety. I don’t fear anything specific happening that has me feeling uneasy. I will be going with my significant other who has d…
