Camelback trek and desert camping: Morocco or Egypt? So my partner and I are looking into going to Egypt and are bouncing the idea of doing a 2-3 day camel trek/tour with desert camping (1-2 nights), so on camelback most of the time, traveling from camping spot to camping spot. I couldn’t find many like that in Egypt when looking online, except on dodgy-looking websites very similar to one I trust…

FRA to YHZ via YUL I have family members traveling to YHZ from FRA via Montreal. They are quite nervous travelers and also not in the best physical shape and don’t speak English or French.

I was leaving the long stay car park and missed my turn so I ended up going through the drop off, it says charges start at £6 and are done through ANPR. does anyone know if the charges start immediately? Will I be charged for not stopping and just driving through? Seems a bit unfair considering there isn’t any way to turn around submitted b…

Cities (worldwide) with a similar vibe to Tokyo? Last spring my boyfriend and I met up in Tokyo (I was coming off a three week solo trip in Vietnam and he was coming from the US). We spent 10 days there and had a fantastic time. Lots to do, amazing food, lots to see, fairly easy to navigate (once you get used to the fact that there are 5 different privately owned train lines), and it definitel…

Which capital city gets a lot of hate that you loved visiting? It’s common for people to shit on visiting capital cities. They often get labeled as too touristy, too crowded, unsafe, inauthentic, boring, etc. I don’t understand how people can get bored in a city with millions of people and ton’s of attractions, but everyone’s entitled to their opinion so I respect that. So what’s a city you visited that ge…

Photos of Iran Photos from my trip to Iran in 2019. It’s such a beautiful country, and I guess most people don’t know that because of what’s in the news. But the people were so friendly, the architecture mindblowing, the landscapes out of this world, and the food so delicious. I dream of going back there one day. Strength to all who are fighting for freedom t…
