India E-VISA application – what you need to know if it’s not working for you! Ok, so my family and I are heading to India soon from Canada. 5/6 of us applied for the e-visa with no problem, but my mom’s application would not go through.

Canada eTA I’m flying to Mexico and back via Canada and just got an eTA. During the application they asked me for details of my flight. There was only an option to fill in the details for a single flight. So I reckoned I might have to apply for another eTA for my flight back. When I got the confirmation of my eTA I saw it’s valid for 5 years. Am I free to …

Peru, 4 day Inca Trail operators, why the cost difference? I’m trying to pick the agency for the 4 day, 3 night Inca Trail trek, and the experience seems to be virtually the same (judging by the itinerary, inclusions etc), yet the pricing is: Alpaca Expeditions: $845 AB Expeditions: $770 Machu Picchu Reservations: $715 So I was wondering if there is any significant difference in reality that I may hav…

Things to do in/around Addis Ababa I’m going to Ethiopia late spring/early summer with my family. It will be our 4th time there, and on previous trips we’ve spent a decent amount of time outside Addis (Dire Dawa, Harar, and Hawassa mostly) but due to some safety concerns, the plan is to stay around the capitol this time around. I typically end up as the one in charge of our itine…

Hostels in Singapore….what the hell is going on? TLDR: bad experience with other guests in Singapore hostel – seems to be quite a common experience from reading online. Anyone know why this is the case? For context, we have been travelling across Asia for 3 months and have stayed exclusively in hostels. Fom Istanbul to the Philippines and many places in between – it’s certainly not out first …

Rude Travel Companions? My husband and I have couple that we have taken several “couple” trips with. We roughly live 1,000 miles from these friends, so we don’t see each other only a few times a year. We always looked forward to these trips and had a great time. The last 3 years they started inviting their friends from their hometown. We don’t know the people they have…

It will take around three weeks and we will be in either the north east or south east come the last Thursday of November (depends on when we choose an exact date, still a lot of time to decide). After watching a few videos it occured to me. What do you…

Has anyone actually had a good experience in Cartagena recently? We love old colonial towns and the travel influencers have me wanting to add it to my Latin America itinerary. But seeing a bunch of posts on here has made me question what the experience is actually like. Seems like most people have found Cartagena to be a bit seedy and have too many aggressive street vendors. Has anyone here actually had a go…

Trip report: 10 days in Europe with 4YO, 38YO, and 65YO Itinerary: 3 nights in France, 2 in Germany, 2 in Switzerland, long layover in Germany on the way back. We traveled exclusively by train, bus, etc (no cars). Wins: We opted to leave the travel stroller at home, and I’m so glad we did. So many more stairs than I remember! A stroller would have been a total PITA. A small backpack for the 4YO ful…

The ones who actually explore the whole country instead of the biggest cities, and don’t waste time speaking about unnecessary details. I have watched videos of Lucas T Jahn and Harmen Hoek and absolutely love these channels! Hoping to know more in similar format. submitted by …
