Does anyone else feel like they are traveling to find their home in the world? My parents are both from different countries, and I grew up in Canada. I get that Canada is meant to be a multicultural place, but it always felt like Canadians only accept you if you can fit into their culture perfectly. Despite living there for over half my life, I still grew up being bullied for my immigrant roots and I still feel like an out…

New Year Eve in Tokyo or Bangkok? Me and a good friend (both 27M) are debating whether to visit Japan or Thailand for 2 weeks during New Year Eve. Other than personal preferences, the only difference is the weather which should be summer-like in Thailand as opposed to Japan which should be winter-like. Anyone has visited both could give us some recommendations? Even if you have…

Ryanair cancelled my girlfriends return flight and the route has no other dates. What to do? I live in Helsinki. My gf lives in Slovenia. She will be visiting me October 24 to November 6th. She just got an email today that her return flight via Ryanair from Helsinki to Venice on November 6th has been cancelled. She wants to have them reroute rather than refund but Ryanair stops flights between Helsinki and Venice for the season and Nove…

Aer Lingus made us miss our connection, delayed 5 hours, and switched the seats that we paid for. Currently sitting in DUB Airport because our flight from AMS was delayed 30min, causing us to miss our flight to ORD by just a hair. Our next flight is in 5 hours and they gave my wife and I 2 middle seats not even next to each other. We paid for seats that were isolated (aisle and window seat next to each other) but they apparently didn’t have …

I wear a mask when I fly because I have an autoimmune disease and I have to. Not because I’m trying to grandstand or make a point. Please stop staring at me and making me feel like a turd. I have an autoimmune disease so i likely have to wear a mask forever when I travel post covid, which sucks. I travel for work all the time. no, I dont enjoy wearing a mask for a 12 hour flight…I dont enjoy it on a 2 hour flight, but i have no choices here. What makes it suck worse is the nonstop staring and judgement i get for it. So. The next…

Why are almost all TripAdvisor Q&As over 10 years old? I’m sure everyone is familiar with this, you type a question into Google related to travel. A TripAdvisor link shows up in the results and it’s like 12 years old and the conversation is closed. submitted by /u/Acceptable_Isopod598

People who travelled (or are travelling) through their 20s, how did you do it and whats your life like now? I’m 25 and already feel super old, probably partly due to the fact that I didn’t go to university so I’m basically in the same position as 18 year olds. I worked on and off since I was like 15 but with covid I basically took a 3 year break and relied on my savings. I’ve realized that I can’t nor do I want to work a typical 9-5, I get way too bor…

Stay in Seoul and just do day trips or stay in different cities? I’m planning a trip to South Korea in November for around 2 weeks. I’ll be going with two young kids (5 and 9). I’m just preparing accommodation right now and just wondering if the country is small enough that I can simply just stay in Seoul and just do day trips to various places – or if I should say spend a few nights in each of the different …

Update: I was suddenly worried about a big trip and here’s what happened Original post TLDR: we were about to go on a major trip and I got worried at the last minute about something major going wrong.

The transfers to and from the ship (Euro river cruise) were seamless. The entire trip …

Best countries to visit for an avid outdoorsman from America? 29M, solo traveler here. I love hiking, camping, swimming, backpacking, and biking. I’m in good physical shape and have been involved in those kinds of hobbies since I was like 3 or 4. I even survived getting stranded in the Smokies for 4 days once. So I’m definitely ok with a little bit of danger. This will be my first ever international trip. …

In Philippines right now and none of my cards work in ATM. How can I get cash? I have two credit cards and a debit card. I’ve tried each at over 20 ATM’s. None will let me withdraw cash. They all say something like “we cannot process your request”. I called customer service and they were no help at all. The area I’m in is virtually all cash, none accept cards. I’m totally stuck, any advice would be helpful. submitted b…

Driving into Oslo from TORP Sandefjord airport in January? TLDR: Looking for advice – are the road conditions between Oslo and TORP Sandefjord in January easy enough for a few wimpy Brits to drive safely in rental cars, or are they too snowy and icy? Hello lovely people, My partner and I are trying to organise a trip to Oslo for a small group of family for my partner’s dad’s birthday and we’re hoping f…

Can you fly with syringes in your checked luggage? (BA flight) Unfortunately it’s not prescription, I have these peptides that I inject. The syringes aren’t loaded, the vials are separate. Everything is safely wrapped in plastic. submitted by /u/bennyj22

Disgusting Etihad Airways (and probably stuff that other companies do) Picture this: You bought 2 tickets on March 23rd for a flight Milan-Seychelles on September 28th. You arranged, booked and PAID everything including accomodation, rent a car, a ferry, a wedding and even travelled via car from Croatia to Milan for 7 hours and stayed there for a night so you can be fresh for the flight (because you got the tickets…
