First bad experience with Airbnb I’ve never had a bad experience with Airbnb, up until recently. Well, there was always the usual deception from when an accomodation that looks great in pictures turns out to be actually really mediocre, but my last experience makes me wonder if I really want to keep booking with them. Without further ado, here’s the story. I’m leaving out some …

What resources can you suggest for European WW2 focused tours? So I’m looking to go on some kind of guided tour next summer. I’m thinking something in the vein of 1-2 week long trip through Germany and/or Poland that would be like a bus tour. I’ve travelled quite a bit, but my dad, who I’m going to travel with, has not. He’s kind of a typical boomer History channel WW2 buff. So I’m looking for something tha…

Is Tijuana a good place to visit for someone who doesn’t drink or party? I’m American 29M, and I’ve heard all my life how Tijuana and the other resorts along the coasts of Mexico are big for drinking and partying. But I’m interested in history, architecture, and culture. Would Tijuana be a good place to visit for those things? Edit: thanks for the info! Didn’t know much more about Tijuana and Cancun, wasn’t sure if t…

Is Puerto Rico considered domestic flight from US? Sorry for the silly question but I’m European and I’m not sure about this. I will be leaving Orlando to San Juan with Southwest and it seemed to me that Puerto Rico is considered a domestic flight, but I’m asking for confirmation. Does this mean I should arrive at the airport 2 hours earlier instead of 3 (for international flights)? Is the Orlan…

Which is cheaper and easier for an English speaker who loves castles, Romania or Slovakia? I’m going to travel next year, I will rent a car and travel around one country for about a month.

Want to take my mom to the Galapagos Islands but I need some advice on how to do it Hi everyone! My mom has had a dream for years (might be going on decades at this point) to go to the Galapagos Islands. Like she has a nature DVD she watches some nights and she always tells me how much she wishes she could afford to go. Truth is, my parents could afford to go if they saved a little, but my dad is a homebody & hates flying. But …

18 days in Mexico (looong post) This was the first time I visited Mexico. My goal from the start was to make it more of a scouting/exploration trip than just staying for many days in one place and just chill on a lounge chair for hours. I also love to walk. I ended up walking 20km-25km per day, with my record being 31km (Bacalar). I visited CDMX, Puebla, Oaxaca, Puerto Escondi…

Meat in India question (not what you think) I have a trip to Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai coming up. It’s my understanding that in the Indian religion you can’t eat beef. I have a very Strange medical condition that requires me to have access to beef, as it’s the easiest food for my stomach to digest. I can subsist on chicken and vegetables but after a few days I am in a real pain. Does any…

Advice for a one day visit to the Everglades from Miami Husband and I are hoping to take a trip for 3-4 days mid-January. We would stay in Miami (maybe Coconut Grove), rent a car, and drive to the Everglades for one of the days. We are interested in diverse landscapes and especially wildlife. I am having a hard time figuring out how to best strategize our visit. We would likely go to the Everglades o…

Manchester -> Chicago… what’s the deal in Dublin? My mother is flying from Manchester to Chicago with a change in Dublin. The Aer Lingus website has her with layovers of between 1hr 40m and 2hr 20m… but is this actually enough time? Will she be required to do Irish Customs and Immigration? Since it’s a connecting flight, I assume no. The Dublin airport website says “The US Preclearance (USCBP…

What is unique to Thailand, so we should definetly experience/buy it while we’re there? What should we definitely experience/buy when we’re there? We’ve heard coffee, food, massage and beaches! But is Thailand also known for tea- should we go to a tea plantation? Isn’t Thai dance famous? Thanks for advice! submitted by /u/morganselah

Scheduling days for Amsterdam -> Ghent -> Paris Hi all, I’m traveling to Europe in a couple of weeks and would like broad thoughts on my schedule. 3 Days Amsterdam, 3 Days Ghent (with possibly a day trip to Bruges), 6 days in Paris. Or should I give one more day in Paris to either Belgium or Amsterdam? I’m into museum, history, architecture if that helps. I see posts around here that say that…

I’ve been trying to figure out an itinerary, and so far have decided on 6 days in each country.

Is it better to buy an outlet adaptor in advance or locally when I arrive? Going to Denmark and Sweden next weekend, not sure if I should buy in advance. From what I can find online Denmark can be type C, E, F, or K, and Sweden is C or F. I’ve read the universal adapters aren’t always great in terms of charging speed and that sometimes the multiple pieces don’t fit well together. Any suggestions on what to buy or wheth…

We have been doing research on what cities to visit and hikes to plan but there are mixed reviews given where the weather is at that time of year and some trails that look like they will be closed. Does anyone have recommenda…

Luggage Bag Dimensions I know this might be a bit basic doubt but this is the first time I will be travelling abroad. I have planned my trip from Mumbai to Los Angeles in the Singapore Airlines and as a student concession they are allowing me to carry three 23kg checked-in luggage bags. I checked the baggage allowance page on their website and it mentions this: ” The …
