Tips to avoid theft in Barcelona? I’m going to spend five days in Barcelona and am doing my due diligence in plenty of ‘research’ online beforehand. So.. it seems like theft as in pickpocketing/purses being grabbed while out on the town is pretty rampant.

Had a guy come into the hostel one day, warn everyone that he tends to “yell in his sleep” and that night from about 2am to 6am he was screaming curses, thumping th…

Multi-City flight – can I avoid self transfers? I’m booking a flight from BNA to TPE, then SDK back to BNA. When using Skyscanner, my flights will be spread across 3 different airlines, with a self transfer at each connection.
