Advice needed on Oman itinerary! Hi everyone, here’s my itinerary in Oman. I won’t be renting a car (that’s a definite, I’ve put much thought into it but I’m not confident enough at driving and happy to pay for tours). I love: nature swimming, pottering about the streets checking things out, eating local food, chatting to people, spectacular nature, old religious sites, having …

Did you prefer Korea or Japan? Hi all! I’m Canadian, F27 and recently went to Japan for 6 weeks. While I was there I had a ton of other travellers raving that they LOVED Korea and Seoul was a cooler older sister to Tokyo and had more to offer. In what ways did you find the countries vastly different? I loved the night-life in Tokyo but at times felt a little unsafe. Aside f…

Is an 8 hour layover in London enough time to do something fun? I have an upcoming trip where I have this rather long layover at gatwick. I’d prefer not to spend 1/3 of the day in the airport, so I’m wondering if it’s enough time to go into the city, do something fun like a museum/grab some food, and then get back to go through security and go to my gate. submitted by /u/djazzie

China was awful Take this with a grain of salt, as I didn’t really go there by my own volition, as I was helping a family member, but nevertheless, I ended up traveling around China via train. There were a lot of positives and I don’t regret the trip, but now that I’m out of there, I’m NEVER going back unless I’m dragged there kicking and screaming. The place i…

10-days in Montenegro? I’m wondering if anyone has any experience travelling to Montenegro. My boyfriend and I are planning a trip around mid/end of August. We want to stay for about 10 days and were planning on flying into Tivat. We’ve been told that Kotor is a nice place and it looks gorgeous, but we are open-minded to stay anywhere. We are also open to stay a few n…

I have 14 days but I also have friends and family in England which leaves me with roughly 8 days for the tour. I’m looking for any recommendations.I have and still looking on the Internet but I can’t seem to find a tour wh…

Help! Trip ideas for 5 week vacation. I’ve never posted here before so I hope this question is ok. Quick backstory- I’m a 34 yo F and work in healthcare in the US. For the past 2 years I have used all my vacation time to either care of my parents or for my mental health after losing my brother, grandmother, uncle, and dad in a little over a year. The only trip (besides camping) I’v…

Dumb question about the Dead Sea My best friend and old roommate is Israeli from boarding school in the USA. I am Palestinian. It breaks my heart, but we will never ever be able to meet again. I live in Jordan, so she is not able to visit me- and she lives in Israel so I am not able to visit her. She has done so much for me and I love her to pieces. We can meet obviously somewh…

Monserrat- tour tour or go on own I am traveling by myself to Barcelona for a whole week. I am debating on going to Monserrat on my own, or booking a tour. I really love guides who give you the history, stories, etc. but all the stuff I am reading on Viator is that: a. Many of the tours start on one giant bus then break out into different experiences, which I DO NOT want to do (…

TJ Cops got me and it is getting worse,I have cut my visits in half and soon I might not go back at all! I get it Everyone in Mexico is sick of the privileged white American complaining about trivial shit. Well I am white definitely privileged to be an American but my complaining is far from trivial. I have been going to TJ a few times a month for the last few years I probably spend around 500 us dollars each time I visit . Yesterday I crossed the …

Is Buenos Aires “nightlife” as a solo female safe? Hi everyone! I’m staying in Palermo SoHo soon and have 3 activities planned that start around 7 and end around 11pm on weekdays (using nightlife in quotes because it’s not really lol). I plan to Uber home but so many things on Reddit travel forums I’ve read said to never be alone in BA as a woman…and that it’s only ok to walk around alone during…

Would It Help If I Sleep in the Time zone of the Place I’m Going to on the Plane? Hi, I’m going to Australia from Ireland soon and its about a 24 hour journey. I was wondering will it help with jet lag at all if I sleep on the plane during what would be the night time in Australia? It’s a late take off so I’d be awake through the first flight and the layover and going to sleep a couple hours into the second flight. Would this…

For those who’ve been to Japan, what makes you go (or want to) go back again? Let me highlight that I’ve already been to Japan and spent the better part of a month there. While I certainly enjoyed my time there and feel like I can spend more time to explore places I didn’t get a chance to, personally would rather to go to new parts of the world. Based on where it’s located, Japan is far for most of the members of this sub…

Arriving in Guatemala City at night — Safe? Hotel/bus recommendations? Hi, my partner and I are planning a trip to Guatemala for about 2 weeks. The flight arrives to Guatemala City at around 10pm. I have a family friend who plans to pick us up from the airport and drop us off at a hotel for the night. Has anyone arrived to the airport at night and how was that for you? Does anyone have any recommendations for hotel…

Best places to visit in Southern USA? Spooky, haunted, scenic, hikes, waterfall, cemeteries.. anything really! I’m flying to Los Angeles at the end of July, and I’m driving home(Illinois), but I plan on going all the way to Georgia and then home. I love spooky, creepy, haunted places, waterfalls, swimming, and scenic views! I want to stay somewhere remote one night to see the stars, just not sure where yet! I will be traveling alone, so I won’t be doing …

What are some fragrant places you’ve been to on your travels? Recently came back from a holiday in Cornwall in the far southwest of England, we were walking down a rural road and the fragrance of honeysuckle just kept hitting us. It was divine. Then we went on some hikes along the coast and again the honeysuckle was making the trail smell so good. I also came across many butterfly bushes, they are fragran…

What’s something you started doing back home because you were inspired by it during your travels? I started keeping real bread in the house. I also appreciated the way people dressed so nicely on a regular day in other countries. I’m now rethinking my wardrobe. submitted by /u/Curious_Cat318

Plug for Seattle: Space Needle, Glass Museum, Amazon Spheres I know Seattle has been getting some (probably well deserved) bad rap about the safety issues in the downtown area, but I do think it’s still a very interesting city. If you stick to the tourist areas during the daytime you will be fine. The Space Needle was renovated in 2019. They got rid of the revolving restaurant but it’s now a revolving gla…
