What’s the most memorable interaction you’ve had with a stranger while traveling? I’ve been inspired to ask this question by a very pleasant interaction I had with a solo traveller yesterday near the Sacre-Coeur in Paris’s Montmartre district. She was an elderly woman (looked early 70s) from Canada’s Alberta province. We had a lovely discussion about Canadian winters, the U.S. (the excited states of America, as she liked to c…

TSA Precheck eligibility & psychiatric hospitalization I have a bunch of travel coming up and was going finally get precheck to make it easier. One of the very first qualifying questions asks if you’ve ever been involuntarily hospitalized in an inpatient psychiatric hospital. If you answer yes, it says to reconsider applying. A couple years ago I went to the ER (voluntarily!) looking for help and a…

European “Slackpacking trip” w/ Parents Last summer, my parents and I traveled to Portugal and walked along the Algarve Coast, about 8-12 miles per day, staying at different hotels/bnbs each night. We didn’t bring any kind of camping gear, but we got to some pretty isolated stretches of coast. It was great, and we want to go on another similar trip in July 2024. Length: 10-14 days Bud…

Mexico City or Tulum I’m planning a solo trip to Mexico for my birthday at the end of the year. I’m 22F and pretty well traveled but this is my first solo trip. I’m deciding between Mexico City and Tulum–leaning towards Mex. City but the price of flights is making me hesisitant especially because I’m only going for 3-4 days.

Seattle: LA or Vancouver Hi everyone. My bf and I (from the UK) are going to a wedding in Seattle next summer and we were thinking of making it a longer trip since we are going so far (around 2 weeks or so). We both would also like to go to LA and Vancouver and obviously they are in opposite directions with one closer than the other, so I’m looking for advice whether do…

Warm winter destinations for LGBT New Englanders looking for a SAFE place for myself and my non-binary (very androgynous) spouse to vacation in the winter. We often go to Florida to see my snowbird parents but I don’t want to give FL any of my gay money. Spouse is a chef, so would love good food. Bonus points for cool farmer’s markets or similar – they really loved Pike Place Ma…

Solo week in Europe in December for a 50 year old guy, suggestions? I’ve never traveled solo.

I’m a chill guy, and I’m happy to take my time just absorbing the sites and trying the local food and drinks. I do love art, and architecture …

Best US city to visit with my gf in Feb? Hi all, I’m thinking to surprise my girlfriend with a 4-5 day trip to a US city next year in mid-February (many cities might be too cold!) I considered New York and Austin – but I’d like to get some wisom from the community before I book flights. I worried that Austin actually might be a letdown somehow… and New York we’ve both briefly visited…
