South America – which country would be the best one for my first visit to the continent? Hey there, I visited 39 countries but have never been to South America. About me: – I don’t speak Spanish or Portuguese – I am in my mid 30s – I will be traveling from Europe – perfect time: mid or end of 2025 – I’ll travel with my boyfriend – I love food (emphasis on meat and spicy food), drinks, sightseeing, and I usually skip museums or thea…

As I get older, my love for travel is the same, but my appreciation for home is increasing greatly Does anyone else feel this way? We spent a great week in a far-flung country with food and culture greatly different than our own (in this case the US). However, after a week of language difficulties, awkward interactions, the staring (oh god the staring), and generally being “an other”, it feels great to come back to home soil. submitted …

Chalco/xico area of Mexico city That is where my husband is from, and we know it’s rough. We live in the US but he goes home to visit every couple years. Myself and our two kids have never gone because he’s been afraid. He’s finally ready to take us to the general area. I know downtown cdmx is great, but what would be the closest decent-ish area to look for a hotel so we could…

Trip with kids in December Hello, would love some ideas from travelers with kids on where to go in mid December for about a week. Kids’ first trip was Costa Rica and they loved it. Turks & Caicos and USVI islands were both suggested but we are not a family who is happy sunbathing on the beach for 7 days and I am concerned these might all be fancy hotels and hanging on th…

Flew Lufthansa for the first time (multiple flights), will try to avoid them in the future. Here are my impressions. What a trashfire of an airline Lufthansa is! I’ve flown a lot over the years – since I started keeping track, I have 420 flight segments listed, but there were plenty more before that. The majority of my flights have been on US and European airlines, but I’ve also flown on some others. Until a couple of months ago, I had never flown Lufthansa. I…

But we are struggling to put this puzzl…

I’m looking for an airline from the PH to USA that will allow me to bring my cat with me (preferably as carry-on but if not, then check-in will be my last resort) (‼️) I don’t mind having to have multiple stop overs if it means allowin…

Friends do not eat out when traveling We’re two couples on a six-day trip, and everything’s going smoothly – no bad vibes. But I’d love some input from people who typically don’t eat out while traveling. When planning this trip, our friends mentioned they’d be fine with “going to a restaurant” (in the native language it could be understood both ways). I took that to mean eating out …

Cathay Pacific Boston > Hong Kong WiFi? Next weekend I’ll be flying BOS>HKG on Cathay Airbus A350-1000 (16hr non-stop). Anyone been on this route or the A350-1000 plane for long haul fight and used the wifi? How was it? Often long haul flights wifi is a crapshoot with 300+ people trying to share the same connection. submitted by /u/net1994

Lanyard wallet or no? So I have this wallet I wear on a lanyard around my neck and this sling thing that goes over my chest. I am headed to some major South American cities and I’m starting to wonder if the anti-pickpocketing benefit of my stuff doesn’t balance out the “calling attention to myself” part. I am not white and might pass for a local from a distance. Any …

Best American places to travel close to Christmas? I was looking into taking a trip to Banff and Canmore up in the Canadian Rockies for a winter wonderland trip, but the potential -20° F temperatures and cloud coverage keeping me from even seeing the surrounding mountains turned me off. I’m American so something a little closer to home (the Midwest) would maybe be more ideal. I’m open to somethi…

What’s up with people walking around taking video at airports? At Bush airport in Houston right now and I’ve seen multiple people walking around holding their phones in front of them taking video. Not just short little scan of the crowd at the gate, but wandering around the terminal while recording. One seemed to be on a video call (or maybe narrating her video?) but the two others I couldn’t tell. I can’t …

Looking for opinions on 2 days in Brussels vs. Antwerp I am in the midst of planning a trip for early June 2025 where my wife and I fly into Amsterdam and spend about 2 weeks traveling through the Netherlands, Belgium, and a little bit into Germany.
