Beach Destination in Bahia, Brazil I want to spend three full days on the beach somewhere close to Salvador at the beginning of October (Sun-Thu). I want somewhere with calm waters for swimming/snorkelling, but I am not interested in surfing. I also need to rent an umbrella and a sun lounger. It would be good if there were a few restaurants to choose from, but I don’t need dozens…

First Overseas Trip to Switzerland Having been in Sydney my entire life, just seeing these landscape was just breathtaking and awe-inspiring. submitted by /u/jsleamer1008

A week in Colorado My wife and I thinking about spending a week in late August in Colorado to celebrate our anniversary. We do not have much experience in traveling and have never been to Colorado. Most of the itineraries I see posted online seem to involve a lot driving from city to city, but we’d rather have a ‘base camp’ that we can stay at and do smaller day t…

Questions about Peru as an inexperienced traveller? Work is going to be pretty slow within the next 3 months or so and I’m hoping to plan a trip somewhere within that timeframe. I’ve always wanted to see Machu Picchu, and Peru is the top spot on my bucket list. I’d love to do some hiking (Incan trail maybe), visit the Sacred Valley and sleep in one of the hanging rooms, eat some good food, see so…

21 day solo road trip list. Another year and another solo trip to explore the states and national Parks. I live in Kansas and will be going all the way to California up to Washington before making it back home from there. The way I do my trips is each day is a new place. I car camp and usually try to find a truck/travel stop like Loves for the onsite showers. Here is the i…

Questions to ask the undergrads I’ll be chaperoning on a 10-day trip to Nairobi? I’m a 40-year-old American female who will be accompanying 4 American male students, ages 20-22, on a teaching trip to Nairobi next month. I’ve arranged travel for these guys before, but this will be my first time going with them. We have a very rigid itinerary, basically teaching from sun up to sun down with only one morning “off,” so we litera…

In May of 2024 I spent 5 days in the largest and most remote ghost town in Canada, in Anyox, British Columbia. Anyox, British Columbia is located approximately 60 kilometres, or 37 miles, southwest of Stewart, British Columbia and 20 kilometres, or 12 miles, from the tip of the Alaska Panhandle. submitted by /u/Freaktography

Advice on flying with Ethiopian Airlines (EA) from London to Zimbabwe? Hi all, I am planning a last minute trip to Victoria Falls and the most convenient/affordable flights are currently with EA. Unfortunately, couldn’t plan in advance due to work commitments and can’t afford to be paying over 2k for flights alone so BA is out of the question. I’ve never flown with EA before – it says it’s a 4-star airline on Googl…

Funniest cities: Where did you laugh the most? Is there a place that put a smile on your face or made you laugh a little extra than all the others? Not because of your travel companions but because of the culture or lightness of the place. Mine is probably NYC because I always see organically weird behavior that amuses me. Runner up is the island of Ischia, Italy where the locals put a smil…

Salkantay + Inca Trail Trek Hi everyone! Me (F29) and my boyfriend (M29) are currently looking into Peru this October. Hiking to Machu Picchu is a must for us and because we couldn’t decide between the Salkantay and the Inca, we are trying to do both! TreXperience offers this experience with the option to start on the 24th October (6 nights, 7 days). However, they are stru…

Is there such a thing as geology field trips for adults? like 5-10 days in Chile or the American West with either camping or multiple daytrips from a nearby home base? I’ve been watching some videos covering the Perseverance rover’s exploration of Mars and it turns out I find it fascinating so now I have a new itch to scratch (hat tip to Mars Guy on YT). Also the astronauts trained for it during Apol…

How does a group of seven get from Split to Pula? We are a group of seven Belgian students who just graduated high school and want to travel through Croatia. We have to get from Split to Pula but we have a tight budget and want to take the fastest route possible. Our initial plan was to go by train, but we found out that the rail connection is pretty bad between these two cities. We are aware t…

How do you feel about people who say “Wow it’s so cheap here!”? As someone from a developed country who talks to other tourists from developed countries while travelling in developing countries, many people talk (a lot) about the cost of living: price of food, housing, transportation. They say “wow it’s so cheap here! Did you know this food/bus was only 2 dollars/euros??” Yeah I assume you knew that before y…

Human Trafficking in an Uber If you are using an uber in Barcelona, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. My friends and I took an uber last night and had a horrifying encounter. As tourists in the country, we have been using uber to get around. Yesterday night, our uber picked us up at a bar and was supposed to drop us off at our hotel. Upon getting in the car, our driver began conversing w…

Chile / Patagonia in November, Japan in March, or both? So where I am, tickets to Santiago aren’t actually too bad. A few hundred USD round trip. And my partner and I would mostly be staying in hostels / camp sites (I’m aware it’s still the shoulder season in November in Patagonia so not ideal camping). But we’ve been talking about doing that trip for a while now. My aunt approached me recently abou…

If you have travel insurance (either standalone or through a credit card – please specify) what mishaps did you NOT get reimbursed for? “Read the policy,” we are told, so we do. We have peace of mind – until something actually happens on a trip and the credit card insurance or standalone policy you were counting on turns out to not cover what you think it should. The legal team is always on the lookout for ways to avoid paying. I did have one experience with a standalone policy …

Balkan trip: tips asked Hey all, My partner and I will be touring trough the Balkan this summer. We will be travelling by car and hop from capital to capital starting in Prague, going down to Skopje. Then from Skopje back up to Ljubljana. We have some experience travelling but we have both never been in the Balkan. We would like to know if there are some (unwritten) r…

Insurance question: Pet cover included. Hi there, I’m heading off for 10 days in the sun soon, much needed as I’m in the UK and the Summer weather will not be making an appearance. I’m currently looking at insurance and my other half reminded me that I need one which includes a limit of pet cover, such as covering costs for accommodation if we’re delayed, vets etc. However, I’m really…
