Is there more to Sharm el Sheikh than its beaches? I’d like a more active trip with long hikes and sight seeing, and I’m also super interested in experiencing the rugged natural beauty that desert / arid landscapes have to offer. A nice beach to relax on for a day or two would be nice. Am I able to get what I want from a holiday to Sharm el Sheikh? Can I head inland to experience more mountainou…

Traveling to India with girlfriend for 3 weeks. Need advice Hi! My girlfriend and I are traveling to India for 3 weeks and we fly out Monday. We are going to a Hindu event in Vrindavan for 5 days, but will be traveling around afterwards.

Best Africa Itinerary If you were only able to go to Africa once in your life (I mean maybe that won’t be the case but let’s assume that way), what would be a good itinerary? I have around 2.5 weeks and will be ending in Capetown in late October for the marathon, so I figured we’d spend 5 days there. Should I pair it with Tanzania (Zanzibar and a safari in the Seren…

Airbnb host lying about “damages” because I didn’t stay longer I told the host I originally intended to stay close to 3 months, booking a week at a time, but only stayed 1 month. I let them know before I checked out I was leaving. I have a travel job so I’m sure they just saw $$$. Well now they’re claiming a high price point for “damages.” Example: $47 worth of damages for 6 wash clothes and 2 hand towels. …

Is our driver in South Africa overcharging us? Copying over my post from the South Africa subreddit as hopefully this will reach a wider audience (for those who have been there before): We got a local driver to drive us all around for 5 days starting from Durban airport and ending at Johannesburg airport, with several stops in between. We agreed on a total fee of R35k at the beginning, which…

Round trip from Granada I’m just back from a trip to Andalusia – starting in Granada, my main destinations were the Gorafe and Tabernas deserts. I’m still in awe of what I saw, the sheer scale and emptiness of the landscape, rock formations I did not expect to see anywhere in Europe, pure tranquility of it – I hardly came across other people. November was a perfect ti…

I’m 25 year’s old and I have Saved $9000 to travel to USA. I’m from India and I have saved Rs 7.5 lakh ($9000) to travel to the USA. Flights from India to the US are expensive.

Reminder to stay safe Me and my gf are on our first night in Apia, Samoa and have just been followed by a group of young men. We left a restaurant and noticed some people walking behind us but didn’t think too much of it. As we walked back to our hotel they crossed the road at the same points as us and turned down roads whenever we did. Our hotel is on an unlit stree…

COBRA expiring next month and medical insurance when traveling overseas Hello, I’m a U.S. citizen traveling to the South Pacific next month. I was laid off a few months ago and have had Kaiser through COBRA paid by my company.

Wife had named changed by Global Entry interviewer My wife went in to do her Global Entry interview today. During the visit, the interviewer looked at her passport which shows her name as “Last Name”, “First Name” “Middle Name”. As an example I’ll use Mary Elizabeth for first and middle name. The interviewer said that her name in the system was wrong, and changed her first name to Mary Elizabeth…
