Tenerife for hiking, cycling, and general being outdoors (November) My partner and I are going to Tenerife in November, with the intention of (hopefully) good enough weather to do some hiking, take in some road cycling or light mountain biking (she’s more of a ‘gravel’ rider really), and probably have a few chill days. We’re there for a week, and flying in to TFS. What’s the best sort of area? I’m sure I’ve als…

5 days in Colombia: just Medellin/day trips or explore the coffee region as well. Outside of Cartagena/Bogota, I’ll have around 5 extra days – and I definitely want to include Medellin. Just wondering if it’s worth exploring a bit of the coffee region at that time, or if it makes sense just to stay in Medellin for the 5 days (perhaps throwing in a day trip or two)? Also, if the coffee region IS in fact a doable day trip plea…

What’s the bulkiest thing you brought back from holidays and how did you transport it back home? The question is meant for people who went on holidays with a plane, ferry or train and bought something very bulky. The bulkiest I’ve brought home is a 10kg carpet but I’ve seen redditors talking about bringing a table home, and this made me curious. Thank you! submitted by /u/EAccentAigu

Vacationing in San Francisco right now because I was told the city was clean and safe again. Just want to give people my take since the truth is in the middle. I went to San Francisco in 2017 and loved the city. As a gay man who loves historic architecture and photography, you can’t do much better. Unfortunately, I saw a lot of news during COVID-19 that the city was basically Mad Max dystopia and decided to postpone my post-COVID trip. This past year I did a lot of reading and r/SanFrancisco basically …

How many weeks out of the year traveling is “a lot” for you? What would that number be for you guys? I have a government job so luckily I can travel internationally around 7-9 weeks a year which feels like a lot. On the other hand I know people who travel internationally for 2-3 weeks a year and that’s a lot for them. submitted by /u/ThrowawayT890123

Where to go around Marseille? My girlfriend and I will be traveling to Marseille August 5 for a soccer/football match on the 6th, and have to return to Paris on the 10th for a flight on the 11th.

Japan vacation payment method; first independent trip! I’m going to Japan with my partner for 3 weeks in December, and its my first vacation ever that I’m fully paying for.

We also like adventurous a…
