Extended high season in Europe? I lived few years ago in the French Riviera for quite some time and I remember that high season meant terrible crowds of tourists from July to August, but September and October were relatively calmer and actually perfect to travel around. Just returned for a short trip with family, and the cities (Nice, Cannes, Monaco,…) were packed!, hotels pa…

Bulgaria in September Vi hiked in the seven lakes Rila national park, visited the Rila monastery and visited Plovdiv a beautiful and lively city. I would definitely recommend.

Why do people think it’s ok to watch videos/play music on their phones on planes etc without headphones? I mean wtf? When did this become acceptable and who are these neanderthals anyway? What makes you think that the people around you want to listen to your entire YouTube playlist (which is invariably crap) for the duration of our journey? Didn’t your mothers teach you any manners? submitted by /u/MidtownJunk

Is there someon…

Is Jalisco safe? Hi. We’re supposed to go to a wedding in Jalisco. We’re American and have never been to Mexico and our Spanish is very basic. I took it in highschool. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has any safety tips or cautionary tales? I’ve read that we should “reconsider travelling” to Jalisco due to safety concerns. Is it really that bad? I’ll be h…

Ryanair changed my flight and none of the options they offered me were good. Is there something I can do? I had a flight booked from Dublin to Sofia departing on the 9th of December (a Saturday) with the return on the 11th of December (a Monday). They changed it to the 8th of December (a Friday) to the 10th of December (a Sunday). It’s not a huge change, but to me it kind of is as I can’t take Fridays off of work as it’s a big day. I contacted their…

Yet another Petra post We did the “backdoor” route from Little Petra, best route to take. It’s approx 16km to the main entrance, took roughly 5 hours with lots of pictures stops.

I got totally ripped off on a taxi in Cancun, which I knew at the at the time I was getting ripped off but I didn’t really have any other option.

I am 30 years old in Canada and I have never had the opportunity to travel before (aside from a few family vacation road trips and work travel).

Moving a cat from the UK to Australia – experiences with pet quarantine Hi, I have just moved to Australia from the UK and have had to leave my cat in the UK but am hoping to bring him out with me.

For reference – my cat is Siamese and known to be very needy in te…

Our idea involves staying in a hotel for a week and travelling around the neighbouring towns and act as if we’re tourists, visiting popular locations, doing fun activities, and even…
