I just got back to the States from traveling around Europe for 6 weeks with my wife and 1.5yo son. Here is what I learned. At first I was considering just posting a reel of pictures from my trip and collecting some modest comment karma, but instead I’d like to share my experience in a way that might benefit others who might be thinking of extended trips to Europe with a child of a similar age. Old enough to walk and enjoy things, young enough to be free on all modes…

Planning to travel from Dubai, UAE to Yerevan, Armenia. Planning to travel to Armenia from Dubai some time this year or next year. Probably 4-5 days on my own as a 23 years old female. I haven’t travel anywhere alone except for going to Oman by bus and coming back to Dubai the same day. I’ve been reading and watching videos about Armenia and it’s really nice, and just wanted to gather insights from …

First solo travel, where to? Hellooo I’m looking at my first country to solo travel to, and it will probably be in December, but I need some recommendations from the fellow experienced travelers I will preferably have a budget of around 2800$~ that I can spend on hotel, hostel, food, shopping, train tickets etc, but not plane tickets. I hope that I can spend at least 2 wee…

Bali Trip Review All, This sub (along with r/bali) was instrumental in planning my honeymoon to Bali, so I wanted to follow-up with a travel review and a high-level overview of my thoughts about Bali. For background, my wife (35F) and I (33M) spent 10 days total traveling to Bali (and then 3 more days in Hong Kong) from the United States: Where I stayed. Ayana…

Travelling Malaysia for 5 weeks Hi all! My girlfriend and I will be travelling to Malaysia for the upcoming 5 weeks (mainly because of the beautiful nature and culture). We were wondering if we were missing some big things or if we go to certain places that you would say are not really worth it. Thanks in advance for all your advice! We are very excited to visit this beautiful…

Do you take an extra day to recover from jet lag when you get home? We came back to the US from Europe in the afternoon and I went back to work the next day. Everyone thought I was crazy- I thought I would get a good nights sleep and feel pretty good but turns out I did feel really jet lagged. Do you bake in another day to recover when traveling from far distances or try to power through? submitted by /u/…

Full time travelers, will you ever settle down? I’ve been backpacking SE Asia for the last year and I want to travel and live nomadically for a long time! I know people who have done it into their 50s it’s wild! I have a few questions for nomadic people: Do you think you will ever settle down? If so how would you buy a property or workout the visa stuff. I know some countries are easier than…

First time solo travelling – here are some thoughts! I went on a three day two night trip to Bologna and overall I’d rate my experience a 7/10! I’ve always been the ‘baby’ in my family so planning this whole trip was a brand new experience for me. I decided to buy some tour packages with audio guides and food vouchers. Whilst I enjoyed the freedom, it did feel a little lonely. I’d sit at restaura…

After a few weeks of international travel, I can’t wait to go back home. What’s your experience? I like travelling internationally with my family. However after 3 weeks max, travel starts losing its excitement and I can’t wait to go back home. Spectacular and exotic sights start feeling mundane and losing its appeal once you start getting used to seeing plenty of it. I think psychologists refer to this as hedonic adaptation. I prefer to do …

During the flight, my phone automatic…
