Travel for Christmas Gift Hi friends! Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this: I’m the “crazy aunt” who’s always traveling and enjoying the world. My family envies my ability to travel (nurse life/single life). Growing up, we used to take a lot of family vacations, but it seems that’s gone away since we kids have become adults. Being that Christmas is around the corner…

Peru and Ecuador the year before, so we would l…

I think it’s rather pretentious and is mainly due to people not wanting to admit that traveling as a tourist is just kind of frivilous and fun, so referring to themselves as travelers and not tourists gives…

Has anyone used Trip BFF or similar apps to make friends when travelling? I’m thinking of using it but was curious if it’s good or even if it’s safe considering you’re literally telling strangers you’re in a foreign country alone. So I’m a bit cautious to use those kind of apps. submitted by /u/Sad_Sheepherder_9552

Albuquerque, New Mexico Reviews I am thinking of doing a trip to Albuquerque in the spring and I am wondering if people who have traveled here could let me know what it’s like? I’ve seen articles saying that it isn’t safe and the city is run down but I’ve also seen some really nice things about it. The bottom line is, I just don’t know because I’ve never been there. If anyone …

I need this tattooed on my arm: No matter how cute, do not pet stray dogs and cats. I’m in Vietnam and goddamn, I knew better, but this kitten approached me, started purring and rubbing against my legs and I gave it a few pets. As I’m walking away, the little bastard lashed out and gave a decent scratch on the leg. I’m writing this from the clinic as I wait for my rabies vaccine. submitted by /u/Narrow_Yam_5879

Some hostels have lockers but I guess these are more designed towards backpacks fitting in them. Wha…
