Looking for travel apps/magazine/article recommendations Hi, I’m looking for travel apps/magazines/newsletters etc that would keep me up to date about cool things happening around the world and help me plan my trips accordingly. I am a student and not that great in world affairs. I came to know about the total solar eclipse last week through Instagram reels, which is sad. Had I known 6 months in advan…

Flying with something a bit weird in my checked luggage. I can’t find guidance online about this. It doesn’t seem against the rules and airport staff couldn’t really give me a clear answer so thought I’d ask it here just in case others have experience to share: ​ I want to bring something a bit weird in my checked luggage for a flight from London to Prague. ​ Specifically it will be a small undersink …

Going to South Africa safely Hello everyone my wife and I are interested in going to South Africa in September or October and have started doing some research. A lot of the things I see on Reddit make it sound incredibly unsafe especially Johannesburg but when googling the results come up that it’s relatively safe but to use caution. Does anyone have any personal experience…

Rest days in family trip itinerary? Hello! I’m planning my first longer (for us) family trip with multiple locations – 12 days, 3 nights per location. We’re a family of four, two kids 7 and 5. Husband and I were discussing building how to build rest time/days into the itinerary. Do you schedule rest/off times during your trips like this? And if so, what do those days look like? I…

Washington DC Travel Hello! This is gonna seem like a dumb question and I’m curious to people who have been to DC what you’d recommend. I am going to DC for a work conference later this year during summertime. Two questions: What is the weather like during summer and Is it worth renting a car if I’m staying in the city? For context, my company rented a car for me…

I need to get to Gibraltar in 2027. What is the easiest way? After an amazing experience in 2017, the spot I picked to watch the 2024 solar eclipse was a complete and utter failure. It isn’t even busy enough here to justify staying the night. So now I’m going to make myself sick obsessing over getting to the next significant* solar eclipse, which will cross over the Mediterranean in August 2027. I’m goin…

Travel all-season jacket I’m looking for a wind and rainproof jacket that still is breathable. I’m leaning towards not insulated because I rather add layers underneath if needed. However it need some thin material on the inside so it doesn’t feel crappy on skin when wore in warmer weather. Pockets are mandatory both inside (should fit an iPhone Pro Max) and outside han…

Is there anywhere in the world where you DON’T get ripped off by airport cabs? I’ve come to the conclusion that either I’m a complete idiot, or this is some kind of global scheme to rip off tourists. Either is possible honestly. I swear I’ve never been anywhere that the price I’m charged is even remotely close to the “that cab ride shouldn’t be any more than X” info you find online. My last go round was in Lisbon, where al…

Who believes in the idea of travelling with just one backpack? I love it when I just travel with one backpack. It makes life so much easier and really you can wash clothes and do other things without having to lug around luggage. Anyone follow this philosophy? submitted by /u/dylan3883

Activities in Cancun/Tulum for a non-swimmer. Hi, I(31F) am traveling to Tulum/Cancun with my boyfriend next week and would love to know all the activities a non swimmer can do. I see a lot of things mentioned online require swimming which is making me wonder if this trip is even worth it. I do not have aqua phobia so I do not mind stepping into water with life jacket on. My boyfriend knows…

Anyone take the greyhound Denver to Pueblo before? Looking to travel Denver to Pueblo via greyhound in the near future. Wondering if people have taken this route and their thoughts. I’m not freaked about being a solo female traveler on the bus and will be buying pepper spray and sitting near the driver on the way there. (For reference, it’s essentially a direct route with one stop at a ski resor…

What’s an airport that you refuse to transfer/fly-out of due to bad experiences? After missing my transfer flight and having to stay overnight in Dallas-Fort Worth three out of the three times I’ve flown through that airport, I refuse to connect through there ever again. Although I did say that after the second time it happened, but thought I’d give it another chance, so that’s on me 😂 submitted by /u/padma_Iakshmi

I will be going for a 10 day trip to Peru for the second time this Thursday and want to do 1 multi-day trek (3-5 days) or multiple day hikes, as I would like to reserve the remainder of my time in Cusco indulging in all the food you can imagine! My first trip was only 6 days and the Salkantay Trek took up the majority of it – I don’t know if my …

Is it an unwritten rule that you can’t sit down in France if you’re young? I swear I don’t know if this was just a bad day but two people at different times had me getting up from the bench at the bus station when I was just sitting next to them (not even attached to them, we were just on the same bench) both times they said I was too young to sit down and forced me to get up and the second time a guy even called me a …

Different price for Rental car in US vs European website I’m looking to rent a car through Expedia for a US trip, and for a EU trip, in both cases the same car in the same dates with the rental company has lower prices on the EU website than in the US one.
