I have a flight to Munich (and then the USA) scheduled for 20/10, and I just learned about the announced general transportation strike in Italy.

Does anyone else feel unreasonably generous when travelling? I realise that I am truly head empty when I’m overseas. Busker singing decently? I’ll give them money.

Sail Croatia Navigator Premier Cruise Experiences? Hii, after looking into Yachtweek, Sailweek, Sail Croatia, and Medsailors, I believe Sail Croatia was my ideal choice for my friend and I(both 24F). We wanted more of a party scene with some sightseeing, A/C is a must for us(especially since we are going during July)and having our own bathroom is a nice bonus. Has anyone been on the premier shi…

Who designed the shop layout at CDG?? Got to CDG a bit early, had about 1.5 hours to kill before my flight home after getting through security. In any other airport I would go find a pub or restaurant to sit in, have a coffee/beer and a snack. But I show up, and in the entire “hall”, there are a total of two small cafeterias serving only bread and coffee with nowhere to sit (and wit…

Where are the most extreme places you’ve ever been? Ive been nomadding the past while and have gone to a lot of countries that people regularly travel to. I’m starting to get more interested in breaking out of my comfort zone and into the more extreme places as in geographics, climate, politically, socially, etc. For example, have seen some people travelling to places like Antarctica, and others …

Kenya trip report Here are pics from the terrific 2.5 week trip to Kenya I just completed. For those who are interested, here is the itinerary: Safari: (5 nights).

Can’t pay with the phone Here in Australia I can’t remember the last time I went to a place and couldn’t pay with my phone. It’s years ago and I’ve not carried cash for over 10 years. I was really surprised that in the majority of places I visited in the US this year, I couldn’t pay with my iPhone. They looked at me like I had grown two heads. Not only that, most place…

Denied entry to China with under 24h transit Hi all, I recently traveled from SEA to Europe with a 15h layover in Bejing, China. I originally planned to get out of the airport and explore the city with the 24h transit free policy (I wasn’t eligible for the 72/144h policy) but the immigration officer denied my entry. Therefore, I though I’d come here to share and ask for your opinions on wh…

Going on holiday by myself – shall I do it? Hey, I am thinking about going on holiday to the US in a few weeks. I really don’t want to go alone but I have asked my friends and no one wants to come with me. I’m 27 now and I’ve been wanting to go for many years. But if I go alone it means some costs will double like rental cars and hotels although there is a great offer going on right now w…

El Salvador – 10 Day itinerary Trying to decide my itinerary for my 10 day trip with my girlfriend in El Salvador. We will be renting a car but want to just kick back and relax in 1 or 2 spots. Our first night will be in San Salvador. Would it be silly to just book an Airbnb for the next 9 nights in El Tunco and just chill there / do day trips from there. Where else would y…
