Very shy female wanting to visit Schengen zone countries. I have some questions. Hello there, I am a very shy female and planning on visiting Schengen zone countries next summer (2024). Right now I’m thinking about visiting Switzerland, Germany, Estonia, or Slovenia. I start off by saying I’m shy because it makes travel very hard for me especially asking for help and getting around. I have been wanting to visit Europe for a …

Travelling to Japan alone as a person with anxiety Hi guys, I’m finally able to travel for the first time after saving up money. All my friends are either busy or say they dont have enough money saved up yet to go with me to Japan. I have terrible anxiety but I’m working on it with medications and exposure therapy. I think traveling alone would help a lot as well but I keep getting bad thoughts …

Is it possible to do Africa on a moderate budget? Hello Reddit! I have just got back from 4 months solo travelling around Europe and now planning my next trip! I feel a lot more overwhelmed with Africa as it seems to be a lot more expensive, bigger distances to cover and slightly less transport options (e.g. no trains). After some initial research I have narrowed down the places I want to go t…

People who’ve been to 5+ countries, which do you most want to go back to? I’m considering a trip. I have 2 kids so travel is kind of high effort and I prefer to minimize travel except when it’s really worth it! So I am seeking ideas of places that (in your experience) are really worth the time and effort of traveling. Japan is one on my list, Thailand also sounds promising. submitted by /u/TikkunCreation

Which 4 cities in Australia? I (38F, Canadian) may be visiting Australia next year for about a month. I’d like to choose 4 places to stay for about a week each (can make some shorter or longer once I choose the locations). I may stay within the city, might do a bunch of day trips to nearby places, likely a combo – again, will depend on the place. Regarding day trips, I do n…

Diyarbakir, Turkey 🇹🇷 The unofficial capital of Turkish Kurdistan. One of the most surprising things about Diyarbakir is how developed it felt. It feels very traditional yet very modern. It is imbued with loads of historical sites, ranging from Armenian churches to ancient Roman walls. (One of the largest walled fortifications outside of the Great Wall of China) Eve…

Any travel group recommendations for Europe Tour for seniors (post-COVID) I’m hoping to take my parents (65F & 70M) on a Europe tour next year and would like some recommendation travel groups. This would all be our first time travelling to Europe. My parents can walk a few blocks but I really would like to reduce their travel time on foot, if possible. They can walk up/down steps without any issues as long as it’s not…

How to travel to countries with a Cashew/Pistachio Allergy? I’m feeling really discouraged right now because I’m noticing that the countries I really want to go to (Vietnam and Thailand) have a lot of foods that contain Cashews, which I’m really allergic to. Even if I learn the phrases necessary to ask if a dish has cashews/can be cooked without, it still makes me anxious that the possibility of an aller…

hotel prices dropped, should I cancel and rebook This might seem like a silly question with an obvious answer but I’ll ask anyway. The hotel I have booked in Prague dropped in price and is about $200 less for 4 nights. I emailed to ask if we would get the lower price or the one at the time of the reservation and was told the price would be what is on the reservation. We did not pre pay and the…

Jetstar sent me a different person’s details (name, address?) (Illegal?) Hi, I’ll try keep it short. This morning I changed a flight I had to a week earlier, on Qantas classic rewards. Originally was LGA -> DFW -> MEL. There was no availability for this a week earlier, so i opted for a longer LGA -> DFW -> AKL -> MEL. No problem, I get home a week earlier. However, this is where things get weird. I receive an email f…

Note to budget travelers: Avoid Kiwi at all costs (scammed) I recently had to fly back to the United States from Europe to attend a funeral. I had a flight scheduled through Kiwi that would take me from Budapest to Frankfurt and then Frankfurt direct to the US. I’ve flown with Kiwi dozens of times since around 2017. I always knew they were cheap and tried to screw you over on fees and all that, but overa…

Voluntourism- my experience and questions for the community. Background: I discovered GIVE volunteer through the little green flyers that float around my university campus. My main goal for the summer was to volunteer or work with a company or program to help individual people. I also have studied arabic and historical linguistics in college…So when I saw the Tanzania program I thought it would be perfect…

Am I crazy? I was looking at flights from the eastern United States to Australia just for fun and had a weird realization. The cheapest way to get from where I live to Sydney is a Southwest flight to Honolulu and then a Jetstar direct to Sydney the next day. The combined round trip fare totals $880 ($480 Southwest / $400 Jetstar). Anywhere else that I look,…

Am I screwed with allegiant?? Back in February I booked plane tickets for a family reunion which is taking place next week. This morning my wife went to print everything out and noticed there were no confirmation emails or anything from Allegiant. Trying to help, she went ahead and booked the tickets again thinking I never did it back in Feb… I’ve been waiting for a represen…

I have a four day weekend free in Japan to do a small trip this November. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ll be staying in Osaka, but willing to fly or take a shinkansen for the right destination. I’ve been to most major cities in Japan and a few areas off the beaten path. I currently have November 2-5 free during my upcoming extended stay in Osaka, and I want to do a small trip, preferably with nature. But because it’s a holiday weekend, things a…

Are they using “fake” alcohol in all-in resorts? Hey folks, Just a quick question, I’ve been to two resorts (2021 and now) from TUI. One in greece and the actual one in Cabo Verde. For some reason, it seems that the alcohol they use to prepare cocktails, etc… is less strong than usual or at least is not strong enough to make me a little bit dipsy. Is that correct ? Are they using some sort o…

Krabi vs. Koh Lanta Honeymoon (Thailand) We are going to be traveling to Thailand for our Honeymoon fall (late November/early December) and are interesting in going to Krabi or Koh Lanta for four night. The two resorts we are deciding between are the Rayavadee (Krabi) and the Pimalai (Koh Lanta) and we will coming from Phuket. Both look amazing, but was curious if anyone had a perspect…
