Is it bad after my trip to Japan I have lost interest in traveling elsewhere? Pretty much the title. I use to have dreams of traveling the world. However, after spending a month solo in Japan, I can only seem to fantasize about my return. I had the time of my life. Perhaps I could have an equally amazing experience elsewhere. However, I felt so at home. From the kindness of others, to the food, cleanliness, public transpo…

4 nights in Mexico City + Teotihuacan day trip Wasn’t sure what to expect from Mexico City. Based on what I was reading online I expected a gentrified tourist hotspot filled with gringos but that’s definitely not the experience we had. As the only Spanish speaker in a group of 6 i found that verrry few people knew English and the vast majority of the city is filled with locals and we didn’t …

Why when I add a second passenger to air travel on Google flights does the fare PER person increase? When I search Google flights for ONE person for example it says $500. Then I add a second passenger to the order and it goes to $1300 instead of $1000. Why does it do this? Thanks submitted by /u/LifesOptimist

Sail Croatia vs Koda Sail Hello! Looking for any insights between the two companies for a Summer 2025 trip (as part of my honeymoon). Fiancé and I want a fun way to see Croatia and also meet people! We plan on extending our trip for a few days in Spilt where both week long cruises end. We are in our early-mid 20’s, enjoy sight seeing and exploring but also enjoy partyin…

Where to get (real) medicine in Morocco? Hello everyone! I have been in Morocco now for 2 weeks traveling from Essaouira to Marrakech, Fèz, Chefchaouen and now finally Tangier. Unfortunately, I have gotten quite sick – I have fever, need to throw up and so on. Since I used all of the medicine I brought from back home, I wanted to buy something. However, it seems to not be possible. In …

Kashmir is heaven on earth Travelled to Pahalgam, a small town I’m Kashmir, this summer. It’s truly the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I am pretty confident that nothing can beat that in future as well. People are very frendly considering there’s heavy tension between locals, the govt and terrorists. The only scary thing was there was a terrorist attack just 5km a…

Which Side Should We Stay on for 5 Nights at Iguazu Falls Hi All, We’ve decided to spend 4 days/5 nights there and I’m very excited! Trying to decide if we should stay at La Reserva Virgen on the Argentina side or if we should find some place on the Foz side. I like the seclusion of La Reserva Virgen, but its far away from the main part of town and getting around by taxi might be too much of pain. I l…

Insurance help – Canadian Hello, I am going on a three week trip to Europe where I will be doing some hiking. Nothing crazy/no rock climbing or super high altitudes (over 3000m) but a multiday hike through the mountains. What sort of insurance should I look in to or where should I start? I have pretty basic credit cards so not covered under anything there and no insuran…

How much should someone budget for an 8 day trip to London For some context, I (27F) am headed to London (first time flying overseas) in October and I am wondering how much should a single person budget for. I am speaking more to the cost I will incur while exploring the city, not the accommodations. We plan on going out to eat, have a drink somewhere, museums, tours, shopping etc. I was thinking budget…

What’s the coolest random act of kindness you’ve experienced while traveling? I was road-tripping through the Midwest last month, and my car broke down in a tiny town. Then an old guy from a nearby house saw me struggling. He came over, offered to help. A great experience. submitted by /u/Conleyc0315

Riga Latvia (May 2024) — An underrated gem I went to Riga in May 2024 during my 4-month study abroad term in Prague. This was part of a longer trip where I went to Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, and Helsinki. Riga is often known to be one of the more boring capitals of the baltic countries, however, I really enjoyed Riga. I was blown away by the architecture and I found that there was a lot of …

First time flight passengers assistance Hi, is there any special assistance that airlines provide for first-time flight passengers who are scared to fly and don’t speak a word of English? My mum is mid 60, she’s healthy-ish (not big health issues), and she is planning to visit me in the US from Italy. She has never flown before, she doesn’t speak English and she is just scared to be i…

Car rental vs Uber in Anaheim Me and my boyfriend are taking a (basically weekend) trip to Anaheim this fall and we’re trying to figure out our transportation when we get there. He wants us to rent a car but I’m not a big fan of the idea for a few reasons: 1. I don’t feel comfortable driving in places I’ve never been 2. He’s never actually /driven/ there either (he’s origina…

Choice of Antarctica cruise 2025: GAdventures vs Intrepid Hello all, in the coming season I am going to fulfill one of my biggest travel dreams: go on a cruise to Antarctica. Now I am facing the choice between two companies and the choice is hard. And decided to go either with Gadventures in their Antarctica Classic (https://www.gadventures.com/trips/antarctica-classic/8340/) or Intrepid (https://www.i…

Cabin Bags and Ryanair My family are traveling to Paphos this week, and we’ve gone with Ryanair Priority, which means 4 Cabin bags and 4 Rucksacks (that fit under the seat). We need to take medication and special sunscreen for one of our boys, which is larger than 100ml, which means one of those cases would be better off in the hold. Do we buy a hold suitcase (50 eu…

Does traveling to visa exempt countries increase your chances of getting other visas? Does it matter if you have an empty passport, or one full of visa exempt countries? submitted by /u/zubeezubeezoo
