Tips for flying solo with infant and toddler I am flying solo with my six month old and three year old in about a week. I am a little stressed about moving through the airport. I am planning on wearing the baby in my ring sling, and debating pushing the toddler in an umbrella stroller. My biggest concern is that we have a short layover at a big airport. How do I quickly get all three of us…

Surf/yoga retreats in Portugal I’m looking at heading to Portugal (solo) in the fall and am interested in doing a surf/yoga camp. In terms of surfing, I am a beginner so will definitely need lessons. Since I will be alone, I am looking for a somewhat social environment – people in their late 20s to mid 30s. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. It’s almost my firs…

Scandinavian letters in name | Travel to Australia and Japan Hi! I am going to Melbourne and Tokyo later this year, and I am lucky enough to have been named with a lot of Scandinavian letters in my name (Ø, Å). Do any others have experience with this in these countries. In my Australia visa I have changed the “ø” to “oe” and the “å” to “aa”. Do you think this will cause any issues. Thanks in advance! …

Often times I hear/read advice to eat somewhere that’s not in the main tourist areas of a place to really get a good food experience. Do you find that to be true? Maybe it’s the cynic in me but I can’t help but feel that it’s sort of gatekeepy. Like in a “You didn’t really have that food because you got it in the tourist areas” sort of way. …

World Map Decor Hello World Travelers, Im up to 40 countries! As I work my way towards traveling the whole world, I’d love a nice big (like at least 4 ft across?) world map to place push pins in for the places I’ve visited. I’ve Amazon searched around and while there’s tons of options out there, I can’t find what I’m looking for. My guess is that the chances o…

I was living in Japan for the last 3 years and I fell in love with the country (at least when it came to traveling). Specifically what I mean by “Japan-like” places is – Great nature Easy to get around using public transport Rela…

Australia seems similar. But these days, we no longer get copies of prescriptions. They’re sent directly to the pharmacy, with a sticker on the bottle with prescrip…

On one of the days, there is some free time, and I want to go to Plodda Falls while the family will be in Inverness I’m only 21, so I’m too young to rent a car, and none of the rest of my family wants to go; so my options to get there are pretty limited I’m finding I ca…
