Asking border control to stamp on old page rather than new? Please forgive me for what is a very silly question. Basically my passport only has 2 full pages left (many years, but lots of stamps going back and forth between UK and Europe). I’m planning a trip at the end of the year and will need to get a visa for that and need at least one blank page. My plan was to renew my passport but my embassy (I …

My car crashed and burned over a thousand miles from home on a cross country trip! On a cross-country car trip, I thought seriously about renting a car so I would have more peace of mind driving through rural areas far from home. But in the end, I decided to drive my own old car and hope for the best. What a mistake! My old car broke down in the middle of nowhere outside of cell phone reception and miles from an auto repair sh…

Frontier is AWFUL – Your regular reminder They charge an extra $25 if you need to buy a bag at the airport because you forgot to do it online. They won’t disclose that though, and don’t even make it clear what the charge is for. They charge $100 for a bag being 1 pound overweight, so I hope you have an accurate luggage weight at home. They make you stuff your personal items into carrier…

Unpopular (?) Opinion: There is no “best” airline Assuming you’re comparing apples to apples (ie, full-service carrier to full-service carrier, LCC to LCC), then there’s just not a lot of differentiation between carriers flying the same/similar route. Especially in economy class. Economy seats are essentially identical across all airlines and aircraft types. The legroom is essentially identical…

Older (30+) travelers who stay at hostels, what do you struggle with in comparison to your younger hosteliers? Definitely the partying and alcohol. I love a good party as a 33 yo but it’s just so damn hard to keep up with the younger crowd and their energy. Bar and club hopping till 6 am in Spain? I’m down for two days with a nasty hangover. Fun nights but ouch my head. Planning to go Berlin this October. Going for the techno scene. Hope I can keep up….

What’s the best *city* park you’ve visited? For me, it’s a toss-up between New York City’s Central Park and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Central Park for the overall design and wealth of adjacent museums. Golden Gate Park for its wonderful Botanical Garden and Conservatory of Flowers. submitted by /u/StakedPlainExplorer
