Is it normal for hosts to lock you out if you don’t provide ETA? Hey, I had a situation earlier today that I’m still stewing about and wanted to find out if this was at all reasonable. So I’m visiting Ireland for the first time and booked an accommodation in Derry. I spent most of the day hiking and driving.

is Georgia safe travel? possible political problems I would really like to visit Georgia (the country in West Asia/Eastern Europe). I know it is normally safe, as mentioned in many posts.

Do you think this could be…

I see a lot of posts about Europeans complaining about American bread not being good quality like it is in Europe. Apparently bread always comes in the top lists of complaints for Europeans who visit US (cheese too and chocolate). I am from Mexico, we are not really a bread nation (we are a tortilla nation) and our most popular bread is Bimbo, w…

I was injured on a United Airlines Flight. Any suggestions on what do to next? Basically the luggage bin above me broke free and fell onto me with the luggage inside. I was in the middle seat. My back was really hurting for the next couple of days, as well as my ribs where I was pushed into the seat. United Airlines is not being very helpful, and it feels like they are trying to just wait me out. Beyond “hire a lawyer” whi…

What is your ” just” place that others would travel halfway across the world to see? I recently moved to Poland. As the summer season arrives, I keep hearing people say that they are ‘just’ going to Croatia. This is wild to me, since I went really out of my way to visit Croatia. Then again, in Perth, where I’m from, people often talk about ‘just’ going to Bali or ‘only’ going to Thailand. This got me thinking, what is the “just”…
