Do you know people that just dont like traveling, despite having the possibility to do so? I’ll explain my question better: do you think traveling is “just” an hobby/passion like many others (and thus some people may not like or enjoy it), or do you think everyone would travel the world if they had the money, time and condition to do so? Do you personally know people that, despite being able to do so, just hate traveling and dont find…

Obviously it’s far south and I guess the weather won’t be great then….

Customs questions for both a stop in the UK and final destination in the U.S. My wife and I took our first big trip out of country. We have been in Europe for 2 months and long story short, we recently came into a bit of money and wanted to treat those we love so we’re bringing home a lot of souvenirs. The logistics of heading back is that we fly out of Rome. We will land in London for a layover, however, since we will h…

Don’t fall for this scam if you’re travelling to Thailand. My friend who was travelling with me to Thailand decided to hire a motorcycle. The rental company took his passport to be sure that he has to pay. The company didn’t mention anything else. He was happy with the deal. However, only days later, he had to return the motorcycle. Here’s where the scam comes in. When he arrived at the rental company,…

I desperately need a vacation that is relaxing where I can disconnect from work. Any roadtrip ideas? It’s been a rough couple of months and I need a break.

A cabin somewhere sounds nice, even better if it’s not too far from a …
