What’s the worst you’ve been ripped off? For me it was in Bratislava in Slovakia in about 2004. I was going to a football (soccer) match and had booked a trip that included a hotel and a ticket. In a time before Google maps we didn’t really know where the hotel was, but I made a note of the address and texted it to myself. Our flight was getting in about 1:30am which wasn’t ideal but o…

The ritual behind travelling is getting exhausting for me, anyone else? I still like travelling, that is, going to different destinations, flying, and experiencing different cultures and cuisines.

Airport security took a copy of my passport. Hello everyone. Just landed in Olivia, Italy a few hours ago. After we got through airport security checks right before we were about to go out(me, wife and 2 yr old) we were asked by the customs if we have something to declare. And then after they finished the checks on luggage they took only my passport and made a copy of it. 🤷🏽‍♂️😅 Any idea w…
