Here is what I am looking for Walkability: I prefer taking in the sights on foot. So I’m looking for cities that are walkable. This is a priority. Public Transport: For large cities, I’d like to select a city with a good public tr…

London/the Cotswolds Post-Trip Notes submitted by /u/omegaskettle

I created an illustrated map of the Amalfi Coast with all the towns you should visit. Enjoy… 🙂 https://preview.redd.it/k3v453wfu53d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f010d4d4e30a90e9b2efe187db0484440f39a3e2 I always find the standard Google maps a bit too busy and full of unnecessary details. A simple graphical map often helps me plan out my trip and get a “feel” for the lay of the land before digging into more specific details. So …

Flight got cancelled by “partner airline”. Neither airline wants to take responsibility I flew MCO (Orlando) to AMM (Amman) last week, with American Airlines handling the domestic portion of the flights (MCO – ORD), and Royal Jordanian handling the international component (ORD – AMM). The tickets were officially booked via RJ.com, however. On my return, the last leg of the journey was CANCELLED by American Airlines (ORD -> MCO). I …

Smart Luggage Tags, Do You Actually Use Them While Traveling? I’m looking into the different smart luggage tags to track my bags in case they get lost or stolen. As you may be aware there are lots of them in the market. But, one thing I don’t understand is how they stay connected to wifi to be tracked in the first place. In the product reviews, this seems to be a key issue. Are you thinking of getting one?…

Traveling Africa with minimal “tour guides” I’m planning a trip to africa (specifically uganda and tanzania maybe more) as a lone man and I’m wondering about how much tourist companies are needed. Ive always preferred a more independent, flexible travel regiment rather than using tour guides or companies, but with africa it seems a little different in that guides and whatnot seem more nec…

10 of my most memorable overseas travel experiences from the past 34 years This is in no particular order. It’s interesting to me that the things I remember most are not the Colosseum in Rome, or the Louvre, or Westminster Abbey or the Sydney Opera House — it was the experiences and people that were unique to where I was visiting. https://preview.redd.it/xsfeuemvm33d1.jpg?width=3816&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30894b55350c…

Is something happening with Airbnbs in Italy? So my mother has been planning her dream trip for months now. She can’t talk about something else since…Halloween. The trip is in a few weeks now. Tonight she calls me because all of the Airbnb she booked a while ago cancelled on her on the same day. First two bookings just got cancelled by the hosts in Turin and Milan. Now the Firenze one has b…

4-hour layover in SCL or a full day stopover? Hi everyone, I’d appreciate some help deciding if we should travel from Cusco to Buenos Aires with layovers in LIM and SCL, or by cutting the trip with a full day (2 nights) stopover in Santiago. My parents are older so I am looking for the less tiring option for them. On the one hand, a 15-hour trip and 2 layovers are a lot, but I wonder if goi…

Don’t want to go to Hyatt Vacation Club Presentation and don’t care for the free trip anymore A Hyatt Vacation Club rep talked my boyfriend and I into going to a timeshare presentation in San Diego next month in exchange for a free vacation to Hawaii if we attend. We put down a $50 down payment. After we came home I searched on reddit and it seems like the vacation itself sucks and the presentation sounds like abuse, especially because w…

Azerbaijan Baku scams Just got back from Azerbaijan and though the country is lovely I would never go back there again because of all the scams. I understand that every country has its fair share of scams but in Azerbaijan it felt like majority of them are out to get you for as little or as much as possible. The scams I faced are – Scam 1 – As soon as I stepped out …

noob questions, 1st time flying by myself! What’s the difference between Carry-on and personal items? I know both go inside the plane with you, does both of them go in the overhead thing? what does “1st checked bag for a fee” mean? does it mean you’re only going to be charged for the 1st checked bag, if you have more than one they’re free. submitted by /u/Logical_Maybe_7204

I’m 20 so open to suggestions for 21 year olds but prefer suggestions of stuff I can still do now. I’m also an introvert but would like going places where it’s easy to make friends. Any solo activities.. I don’t know. Need an escape so anything will do honestly. I live in …
