Money stolen from wallet but they left my cards. Should I block them? My friend’s apartment in Chile got broken into during halloween and I’m just realizing I’m missing money and items from my wallet which was in the apartment. They left my credit and debit card which I thought was weird until I realized all they needed to do was take a picture of my cards. Im thinking whether or not I should call my bank and bloc…

Looking for a beach town/city in Mexico Hi all, I’m looking for a beach town to visit in Mexico. I love San Juan, PR, but I live 15 minutes from the US/Mexico border, so that makes going to places in MX so much cheaper and a lot of times quicker. What I loved about San Juan/PR: Good mix of night life/going out and beach/nature. Cancun doesn’t sound like it’d be my vibe, but open to ch…

People who get eaten alive by mozzies: what are your prevention and treatment strategies? Hi everyone, I live in Scotland, which has very few biting mosquitoes. Whenever I travel anywhere warmer they feast on me. I seem to be incredibly attractive to them and get bitten even when my travelling companions don’t. I often react badly with itchy, raised red welts, I’m also very pale which makes them look even angrier! I would appreciate …

Take a trip to New Zealand / Australia with or without my toddler? New Zealand / Australia is my dream trip. My husband and I have been talking about it for years. We’ve talked about going in a few years for our 40th birthdays but who knows what stage of life we will be in then and if it will be feasible then (we are contemplating having a second child sooner than later and I imagine it could be more difficult …

What’s the chances of getting JetBlue to put me up in a hotel for an overnight layover that they caused? Hi Travelers, I’m going to Colombia in January. When I first booked the flight, I was leaving Boston 5am with a layover in Ft Lauderdale and then getting to Medellin in the afternoon, all in the same day. I got an email from JetBlue that my flight from Boston is now leaving the night before and flying out of Ft Lauderdale the morning after. I’d…

Do I really need to arrive 3 hours early for an international flight? I haven’t flown internationally since I was a child, but I will be going to Scotland from the U.S. tomorrow. I recently traveled domestically, and I got through security pretty quickly on my first flight. Then I waited for a little over an hour. My home airport is pretty small. I plan to only have a carry on. However, my research and an email fr…

What is the best way to exchange currency? I’m traveling to Canada next year and I’m wondering how to best exchange currency before I go. I’m traveling to Kingston to get tattooed, and the artist only accepts cash. I will need to covert about 2000-3000 from USD to CAD.

Taiwan is everything I expected China to be I’ll get flamed for this, but here it goes. I spent two weeks in China earlier this year and I was… dissapointed. For a country with such rich history the cities I visited were surprisingly plain, uninteresting and sterile. Add to that the language barrier, the great firewall (which is a nightmare, VPN or not), difficulty with the simplest tra…

Going through security/TSA requirements I often read travel blogs that say toiletry bags must be taken out and put on a tray. Same with any food/snacks brought in a carryon. But I have never had to take them out. Last week I flew out of Newark Airport and I didn’t even have to take off my shoes or remove my electronic devices and put them on a separate tray. I didn’t have to take off …

Vacuum-sealed sea salt This sounds so dumb, I know, but I really love collecting different kinds of salt. I’m currently in Greece and a lovely bartender gifted me a vacuum-sealed package of it. I’ve only got a carry-on, and I’ve placed it directly on top of everything (obviously not trying to hide it, but I know what it looks like). How much shit do y’all think I’m go…

Airport seat etiquette On a flight today and heard a heated argument in the row next to me. Turns out the person infront had fully reclined her seat, meaning the person behind had less leg room. They said they’re tall so dont have much as it is. Got quite seriously at one point as one accused the other of kicking the seat on purpose, and the cabin crew needed to step …
