Thank you! submitted by /u/Communicati…

Norway: How much “expensive” are we talking about? Planning a solo trip, around 10 days early July, still nothing fixed. I was considering: half trip around Bergen (Trolltunga hike, then one or two fjords), and the other half Lofoten Islands. Now, the accommodations I’m finding are pricey but doable. The guided hike fees seem fine to me, I’d rather go safe than die with a couple of hundred buc…

Travels I need to book way ahead of time I recently did a trek to Hang Son Doong in Vietnam. It’s the largest cave in the world, was first explored only in 2009, and has strict limits on the number of tourists a year (around 1,000). Because of this, the waitlist can be quite long, and I had to book the tour about a year (!) ahead of time just to get a spot. Despite all the advance plan…

Trip budget and compromise I’m planning to go on a trip with my best friend and two of my other friends but my bestf is a miser and according to him good food and staying in a good hotel doesn’t matter much while travelling. The only thing he keeps in mind is to fucking click good photos and not anything else. He doesn’t gives a shit about comfort and stuff. I can’t even …

Traveling to China with knife Hey, I’ll be traveling to China in the coming days. I’ll get in visa free, as I am German. I’m coming from Japan, I bought an expensive high quality kitchen knife here. Do I have to worry about anything when Im transporting it in my checked in luggage. Usually I wouldn’t worry, but I’m not sure about China, Ive had weird experiences there before…

Favorite travel moments If I told you right now to write down your favorite 3 travel moments of all time (with no time to think about it – in my opinion it could change 50 times; I guarantee if you ask me next week they’ll be different), what would come to mind? Here are mine: Sitting on the side of a Nordic ski trail in Chamonix in the sun drinking mulled wine with …

Microwaveable sterilizer bags for baby bottles during travel Hi I will be travelling by air with my 4 month old baby. I have to formula feed her, so I’m a bit confused about the bottles management. If i take a steriliser bag that you have to microwave, can i ask the air hostess to microwave? submitted by /u/Money_Worry1691

Leaving airport without checked baggage Flying DENVER—> MIAMI —> BONAIRE. I’m checking baggage all the way through but have almost a 24 hour layover in Miami. Is it ok to leave the airport for a night in a hotel room without retrieving the luggage? I assume because it’s already checked through then I won’t even have the chance to get to it anyway and as long as I’m back for flight #2 …

Is it okay to stick to my solo vacation plans after my friend didn’t chip in to help with planning and now wants to change them last minute? For context – I’ve been friends with this girl for about 6 years. We are polar opposites in many ways (she’s spontaneous, messy, and an extrovert while I’m a planner, neat freak and a hardcore introvert) But somehow found common ground to maintain a long distance friendship all these years. Last 3 years of my life have been terrible due to diffe…

Fill in the blanks: “you have to try (food) if you go to (city)” What are some signature dishes from specific cities? It’s easy to discover cuisines for general regions, but what about less common dishes or dishes that originated somewhere specific? Some examples: – pizza in Naples, Italy – deep dish pizza in Chicago IL, USA – cheesesteak in Philadelphia PA, USA – wings in Buffalo NY, USA – hot chicken in Nas…

France Vat refund – is there anyway to get the full 20%? I’ve read about the intermediaries like Global Blue and Wevat that work out with you getting 12/13% refund but is there any way you can get the full 20% back eg doing it all yourself? Going to France next week and looking to make some big purchases so the 7-8% difference will be a big chunk of change if I can figure out a way to get it. Super gr…

It feels like a drug addiction I thought if I went on trip to a land far away once and experienced all the things that have been on my bucket list and went on multiple long haul flights on premium airlines, I would be satisfied. But after having done that, I keep longing for more again and again, and that’s a scary feeling lol! submitted by /u/cuteness_dc

Sit on the beach and do NOTHING – Recommendations Needed My husband and I are typically adventurous travelers who like to jam-pack as much as possible into any vacation. We’ll rent a car and drive a few hours if there’s a good museum, national park, or even a unique restaurant we want to try. However, we’re coming off a very stressful three months of 2024 with three deaths in our family, one of which …

Air BnB host suggests tipping The instruction letter from our Air BnB host says that a gratuity is expected and provides a generous guideline for the amount. This would be in addition to the usual admin and cleanup fees. Is this common or expected at Air BnBs now? This my first solo trip, but this news sucks. submitted by /u/Honest_Historian_121

Looking for northern Italy itinerary input! Hello! My partner and I are planning a trip to northern Italy and would love input on our rough itinerary from locals or people who have traveled the area! We’re flying into Venice late on 9/17, planning to stay there and shake off the jet lag on the 18th (1 full day). From there, we were thinking of taking a train to Lecco on the 19th, stay un…

Most convenient ATMs in London and Paris for currency exchange? We’re flying into Heathrow, and taking the train to the Kensington area. We will already have Oyster cards. I’ve heard that you shouldn’t try to exchange in the airport ATMs due to the fees. We’re then taking the Eurostar to Paris, headed to 9th arrondissement. Are train stations on the list of places you shouldn’t exchange? submitted by …

Traveling to Mexico on a conditional green card – what is immigration screening like? I received my conditional green card and will be visiting Mexico for four days. My greencard and passport use different names since my country will not allow me to change my name to match the greencard (weird laws). During the immigration screening in Mexico, do I show both my passport and greencard? Should I bring my marriage certificate to pro…

Destinations off I5 or 101 for Kids I am driving up Interstate 5 from Sacramento to Seattle with my family this July. I have two young daughters, 5 and 7 years old. We have 2 weeks for the trip, so we plan to take our time and stop several places along the way. However, I have no idea what destinations are along the way that my kids would like. We are willing to venture off the fe…
