Wrong Name on ticket Hi everyone! So my partner just bought plane tickets for all of his friends for a bachelor party but he realized that he accidentally put one of his friend’s middle names as his first name (imagine he’s Juan Pablo Gutierrez and he just put Pablo Gutierrez). They are flying out of a small airport in Spain. Are the chances very high he will not be…

Paris and Italy? I’m planning a trip for two weeks for May 2024. It would be my first time at Paris but my partner’s 2nd time going. It would be both our first time going to Italy. We do have a family event in Positano in 2025 but we would also like to experience Italy together alone, for our first time. We’re interested in going to Florence/Rome. If we do Franc…

Falling in love with a place Not sure if this is a common discussion but haven’t seen any posts on it so far. Anyway, has anybody ever absolutely fallen in love with a place whilst travelling? Spent a month solo travelling in a country I barely knew and had no interest in until my family who lives there invited me on a whim. Now I’m packing my bags for my flight tomorrow an…

Is Marseille safe? Myself and my partner (23f and 24m) have a 24 hour stop over in Marseille whilst travelling next week, we booked a hotel in vieux port and planned to get the metro from the airport to st Charles, walk to the hotel then probably Uber back to the airport (our flight is at 10pm) However when speaking with our friend who used to live there, he said …

What’s your opinion on young people going into debt just to travel? I’m on travel tiktok a lot and I keep seeing a lot of tiktokers and comments on there encouraging “the money will come back but you’ll never be in your early 20s traveling Europe/Southeast Asia again” mantra. Now when I mean debt I don’t mean things like student loans or hospital bills. I mean like credit card or personal loans. A travel tikt…

Is this passport too damaged? My dog got a hold of my new passport. The corner is chewed up (pic 4), but otherwise, the interior is fine. Maybe the biggest issue is that you can see the tiniest of tears in the corner of the info page (pic 3). I’m going to Colombia in March and potentially Europe this fall. Do you think I need a new one? submitted by /u/JuicelessJamie …

Traveler’s diarrhea making me never want to travel again It feels terrible and I had to cancel my itinerary to rest in bed. Such waste of time. My fault, I should have been extra careful with water and food. Too late now. Damage is done I want to be in my bed n watch national geography to see beautiful parts of the world instead of traveling n getting sick submitted by /u/Insight116141 …

What are some of your go-to things to do in a new place? A few of mine include going to a local coffee shop, thrift store, bookstore, or comedy show (good for when traveling to a different city or town). For more outdoors/exploring nature trips, I like to find 1 semi-challenging hike with a summit view, going to a body of water like a stream or lake, and/or kayaking, swimming, or biking. If I manage …

Booking.com is a disaster I booked a nonrefundable hostel one day earlier than my flight was due to arrive (my fault). I realized the mistake 2 months in advance, and requested a change through the booking.com app that was ‘Confirmed’ by the property… except I guess it wasn’t ever confirmed because my reservation is still for the original dates. The hostel contacted m…

Do you tip when you go on free walking tours? I always tip as a courtesy but notice that quite a number don’t. Do you? Whether you do or not, why? In my mind it’s cheaper than other tours and I almost always enjoy my time submitted by /u/iamlostpleasehelp_

Seeking Advice Re: Delayed Baggage. Airline only offering 50% of clothing expenses Going to try keep this as short as possible but looking for people with similar experience or who can offer advice. ( I do not have travel insurance In 30th June, myself and my partner flew with Norwegian Air from Copenhagen to Dublin. Our baggage never arrived at the destination airport, which was a 20kg bag with all our clothing, toiletries, s…

Has anybody traveled to all 50 states? Just curious to know if anybody else has this goal and if they reached it. Right now, I’m at 41/50 with Hawaii and California being my favorites so far! submitted by /u/Kiah1371

Travelling with a criminal record I was convicted of burglary when I was 17. I was an idiot, young and with the wrong group of friends at the time. Although I was 17 when charged with the offence. Due to the sheriff constantly deferring the courts date for nearly a year, I got my sentence when I was over 18. I wasn’t given anything hefty, just a few hours unpaid work. I am now i…

Parents are so bad at planning a vacation Recently went on a trip to Canada & NY (we’re from California) w my parents and it was awful. Basically my mom would book flights in the late night to early morning, we would arrive at our destination at like 7am, but wouldn’t be able to check-in to our hotels until 4pm. Hence, we’d explore the city in the meantime carrying all of our luggage ar…

Where in Mexico + Central America? I’m an Australian and we are looking to go to Mexico to celebrate my wife’s 40th. Group will be between 30 and 40 years old but no children and don’t mind a bit of partying. Given Australians don’t generally travel to Mexico we don’t have a good idea of where to go. We are looking for good beaches, restaurants and more relaxed party places (ie …

Visiting DC, Virginia and NC in October? GF (32F) and I (30M) live in France and have two weeks of PTO mid October. Our main interests when traveling are nature and history/culture. We’re not into fancy dining / clubbing / shopping. Our destination has to be Zika-risk free, ideally not too far from France because we’d be only staying two weeks, and with decent weather (October). We co…

Realistic for 5-6 months in Asia So was looking to travel Asia for about 5 or 6 months next year really depending on how much I save between now and then. Don’t have much planned and not set on all the countries SEA: Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam SA: India (I have been to North, west and South) and absolutely loved it so I want to travel through some places I missed, …

Student exchange in Lisbon or Ljubljana? Hello travelers! I’m doing erasmus exchange from February 2024 and I’m having a hard time choosing between Lisbon and Ljubljana. Ljubljana gets some points just because it seems more peaceful, not overcrowded, smaller community… Also better location to travel to other places (+ Slovenia itself is a beautiful country). On the other hand, Lisbon…

Katsuo-ji (Japan) is criminally underrated Katsuo-ji temple is a relatively unknown and remote temple that fails to come up on anyone’s itineraries. But this hidden gem is certainly worth visiting. There are “daruma” absolutely everywhere, and finding them is like finding easter eggs. They are purchased at the top of the grounds, where there is a stunning view of the forests and mountain…

booking.com has removed the ability to filter based on Air Conditioning When using the web browser, I no longer have the option to filter by “Air Conditioning” under “Room Amenities”. I can however now filter based on Yukatas, Game Console, Suit Presses, and Air Purifiers… but that isn’t really a good trade IMO. I have tried searching in a few different regions, and using different browsers. Is everyone else seein…
