Obese guy nervous to travel Europe I’m in my mid 40’s, 6’2 and currently 410lbs. Most people think I’m no more than 350lbs because I’m big all over but it’s definitely all there. My wife really wants me to take her to Europe next year. I’ve put it off for years but it’s not fair to her. She’d like to go to France and Spain. I’m really worried about fitting into taxis etc. As it…

Am I crazy to quit my job to travel? I have the opportunity to live with a family member in Thailand for about a year or two. I just graduated college in May and I have worked at my current job for a few months. I have a good amount of savings and I am considering leaving in January. I spent a month there after I graduated and absolutely loved it. Has anyone done this and regrette…

Netherlands short stay Schegen visa rejected. What doc should I add? I have to be in Amsterdam in mid-October for 2 weeks for study purposes. I applied for the visa in 3rd week of Aug and found out today it got rejected. The reason they gave was “no justification for purpose of intended stay provided” and “reasonable doubts as to intention to leave the territory before visa expiry” I sent the document provided by…

1 Hour 15 Minute Layover Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) Hi everyone! I am planning on taking the flight shown below. There’s a 1 hour 15 minute layover and I’m concerned if that is enough time to catch the connecting flight especially because it’s a different airline. Does anyone have any experience with this airport and/ or short international layovers? Will I be okay? Thank you in advance! subm…

How and where to spend a week in Spain over Christmas. I finally get to go to Spain and it will be over the Christmas holidays. Flying into Madrid. I’m thinking maybe skip Barcelona. Get a car or take the train and see Seville, Granada, maybe Ronda. Will I regret skipping Barcelona? It looks beautiful but since I only have a week it seems smarter to stay in the Andalusia area since there’s so much t…

My trip last month to Sulawesi, Indonesia submitted by /u/jarsun_carpincho

How do you deal with laundry while on a longer trip? Granted, we’ll be staying in mid-end hotels for two weeks around western Europe (my parents and I), so it’s not like we’re out in the wilderness without facilities, but wondering how people generally deal with this. I’ll be carrying a smaller suitcase so might have to do more laundry runs. Do most hotels have laundry services, or is it necessary…

Tunisia vs Egypt vs Turkey, where to go? Me and my girlfriend have decided to go to one of these countries for the first time. We’re planning to catch one of the few mid-september offers for around 1500€ total, for 5-6 nights. We’re not much interested in outdoor activities, just occasional walks, spa’s and aqua park, and maybe nightclub once or twice, we just want a good rest to recha…

Independent Papua New Guinea trip report First of all, I want to say that the people in PNG were incredible. Amazingly friendly, almost everyone we met on the way would say hello and often share some stories. I haven’t shaken so many hands in 4 years. Itinerary Rabaul Everything started by arriving in the infamous Port Moresby (POM). I began by visiting Rabaul for 5 days, staying at th…

(2023) What’s the tipping culture like in NYC? I am planning a trip to NYC coming December and I have read a lot of stories about tipping culture in the US, causing it to kind of daunt me. For instance I have read anekdotes from Redditors being asked to tip at even serviceless facilities like self-service coffee machines and employees getting angry when you don’t tip, or tip ‘too little’. He…

Burnt out parents need an escape and barely travel anymore *Edited for more clarity* Travel December 2nd – 6th (4 nights) from NYC – 4 hourish flight Budget for resort/hotel around $2k for 4 nights – used to pretty nice accommodations but don’t have the funds for what we really want. I also feel like I may want Adults Only because I’ll feel guilty when I see parents with kids. Beach – crystal clear wate…

East Timor is cool. Great people, beautiful country, pristine reefs, and no tourism 😳 submitted by /u/freddyblang

Room didn’t have power all night, hotel offered small refund I booked a one night stay directly with the hotel. At ~10PM there was a power outage in our room, and the after hours number was unattended. Crucially we did end up staying overnight. The next morning the access cards to the room also failed to work. We brought up these issues on checkout and were informed that the hotel would investigate. This…

Going to Thailand for work- where else should we go? Hi everybody, my husband and I are traveling to Thailand for work the first week of February. We’re thinking to might as well extend our stay and see some other places too. We would like to visit Singapore- but we’re considering maybe a third place? 3 places would be our max. We’ll be in Thailand for about 6 days and then 4 days or so in Singapo…

United vs American Airlines I was just curious to see which airline everyone likes better. I’m hoping to be traveling more in the next few years and these two fly the most out of my airport (O’Hare) so I’ll probably be using them most of the time. I’d like to pick one and try and stick to it as much as possible to get rewards and whatnot so I was hoping to also get opinion…

How to prevent severe jet lag on arrival? Hi all. I’m flying from eastern US to France in 2 days and I’m wondering if some of you experience my kind of jet lag and if you have tips to lessen it. Every single time I arrive to Europe it takes me about 2-3 hrs before I feel like I’m going to pass out from the exhaustion. I start feeling dizzy, I get headaches, I feel desoriented, weak, and…
