What am I missing about Rotterdam? I moved to Rotterdam about 3 weeks ago and will be here for just under 6 months for an internship. Before this I lived in the beautiful medieval city of Leuven, Belgium and will be going back there for a bit to finish my degree (which is why I’m here for an internship).

Crap airlines rank I travel around 250 days per year, so a fair bit of flying. After my latest go-around with GOL, I thought of who is the worst. In my experience: Philippine Airlines (thieving staff in YVR and “don’t give a fuck” management) Air Canada (Useless, arrogant staff who cannot be fired) GOL – just idiocy and utter lack of communication Air Asia – Fuc…

First time solo traveling, need some help picking a destination as I’m running out of time. Bit of a weird scenario, but without going into much details, this week work notified me that I need to take 2 weeks out of my banked vacation days before the end of the year. So I’m trying to find a good location to solo travel to between Dec7th-Dec25th. Unfortunately a lot of the places on my bucket list are just not that interesting in winter…

Any advice for long road trips? Me and some friends are planning a 4000km road trip around Europe from the UK (where we live). There will be 8 of us in total between two cars, but we’re all pretty young and inexperienced, and don’t have any idea what we would do if a car breaks down. The trip is in the summer next year but we’re planning it early on now. I was wondering if som…

New Orleans – didn’t love it! Almost everything I read about New Orleans is how much people love it!! Recently spent four days in New Orleans and didn’t love it. On paper, it’s everything I look for in a city. Walkable, cool architecture, restaurant scene, a unique vibe. However, just sharing some thoughts: The French Quarter was quite dirty, and there were a lot of homeles…

Where to next after Japan and China blew our minds? Looking for recommendations on where to visit next for our trip in 2025. As many people here coming from the “West” (in our case Latin America) we are getting obsessed with Asia in general, so far with Eastern Asia. We spent 3 weeks in Japan last year and 1 month in China and Hong Kong this year and we absolutely loved our time there, some of th…

Argentina…..MEH! After reading a recent thread about how wonderful Argentina is, my thoughts after visiting last month. I was a couple of weeks and visited Buenos Aires, Bariloche, El Calafate, Ushuaia and Iguazú. From best to worst: Iguazú: the falls are really astonishing. Ushuaia: very interesting, unique place El Calafate (Perito Moreno): definitely worth …

Costa Rica Perspective I’ve recently read some rather negative things about Costa Rica on this sub. My wife and I would like to visit as a “pre-baby, we’re still having fun” trip within the next year. I went to Costa Rica with my cousin in 2015 (before wife) and had the time of my life. We rented a car in the Osa Peninsula, eventually going to Arenal, and on to San Jo…

How viable is visiting the south Asian countries if you’re really sensitive to air pollution? Title. I would love to go to India (both north and south, I’m intentionally leaving this vague), Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, etc. but frankly I have a low tolerance for air pollution. I was in hanoi and felt awful the whole time because of the poor air quality and I understand much of the region is much worse in that regard. I don’t mind the ge…

Dear God, CDG is horrible There are currently 2 passport officers in all of Terminal 1 and all the automatic gates are closed. I’ve been in line an hour and have moved forward maybe 15 ft in the line. Definitely never flying out of here again! Take a train to another city to fly out of. It really is not worth it. submitted by /u/ToWriteAMystery
