I didn’t collect my luggage before leaving Rome airport… I took Ryanair from Puglia to Rome, then transferred to a different airline to get to America. I didn’t know that I had to collect my bag from the Ryanair carousel before moving onto my connecting flight. Neither airline says there’s anything they can do. I am currently in America and my suitcase is in Rome: how in the world do I get it back? …

Solo travel to the beach, want to leave things in my hotel room so they aren’t stolen, but how to handle getting back to the hotel room itself? If you were headed to the beach or to a pool solo, and wanted to swim, and didn’t want to bring your phone or wallet with you, how do you handle getting back to the hotel room itself? I don’t want to leave the little keycard by itself on my towel or something as that is my only way back to my room. Bonus question… IF somehow I do lose the keyca…

Speaking Local Phrases When Traveling Dumb question but something I had never thought of before. I (US citizen and English is my only language) am currently traveling in Spain. I have traveled in a handful of countries in Europe before but this thought never occurred to me since most people I speak with also speak English. For simple phrases (please, thank you, etc.) is speaking in…

Amalfi Coast – Furore, Praiano, Positano. The whole Amalfi Coast is stunning – I would recommend staying in Praiano if you want somewhere less touristy and packed like Positano. In my opinion, the best way to see most of the spots is to go on a boat tour particularly if you are not confident on a scooter because the local bus and taxi drivers take no prisoners. submitted by /u/ni…

Experiences from Georgia (the country) Beautiful country with very unfriendly people for the most part. I crossed over from Armenia and was shocked to see the difference in warmth between the Armenians and the Georgians. Unlike Armenia, you will be scammed by most of the taxi drivers and the touts you’ll see in the central parts of cities. Airport authorities were probably the coldes…

Booked a specific flight to enjoy the scenery of Iceland/Greenland/Northern Canada. Cabin crew strongly enforced closed window blinds on a daytime flight. Just landed in Vancouver after a 10 hour slog from Europe – booked a very specific daytime flight that flies over Iceland/Greenland/Northern Canada as its been on my bucket list for a while as I’ve always wanted to see the scenery from above. Very sad to have made the trip today and saw very little of it as the cabin crew strictly enforced windo…

Frontier ALL-YOU-CAN-FLY is a scam that could be sued… Oh man, I need someone to actually go out of their way to sue frontier for this scam. I paid 49$ enrollment fee to join the all you can fly and quickly after reading the conditions saw that you still have to pay taxes that is “supposedly” 15$ for domestic and around $110 for international. Anyways, to keep it short. When I first bought it I was …

On a business trip, how can you politely refuse to hang out with colleagues on the weekend? Around 2-4 times a week, I need to travel internationally for my job. Most of the time, it’s just me travelling to meet with colleagues living/working in this country. I would spend week days, lunch and diner with them, but they would go back to their life on the weekends, letting me breathe and have time for myself. I am an introvert, so I need…

2 weeks in Egypt 🇪🇬 Egypt was simultaneously the most fascinating and frustrating place I have ever traveled. I would go back in a heartbeat though. A dahabiya cruise, Nefertari’s tomb, Abu Simbel, and Dendara Temple are must-dos! submitted by /u/Shot-Still8131

From US taking a sabbatical abroad and looking for medium term travel insurance So the SO and I are taking a planned medium term (4-6 months) sabbatical to Asia, and we’re from the US, so we’re looking for some good option for travel insurance. We don’t plan to return to the US for that duration, so we might run into the 90 day per trip problem. Our plan is to home base in Taiwan, and then go to various countries around th…

Christmas in Europe! Austria or Germany Howdy everyone! I’m heading to Europe in December for the first time. In the itinerary I’m heading to Munich, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London and Prague. However, I have a small gap of additional days and I’m wondering- from Munich do I either: Head to Nuremberg for two nights with a day trip to Rothenburg. Or, head to Salzburg for three nights w…

How do you not get lost when traveling? Or is that half the fun? Sometimes I think about going to Japan. I have a horrible sense of direction and I’m afraid if I went into the subway/underground I’d get lost or stuck in an infinite loop and never get out and see anything. I’m only half joking. But part serious. When you’re travelling around a new area how do you not get lost? Or maybe it’s a thing to get on a…

Colombia Recommendations! My girlfriend and I, both mid 20s, are landing in Bogota late tonight for a three week trip! We intentionally didn’t book anything so we could be free to roam about and do whatever seemed to excite us as we went about or days. So I’m wondering what everyone here would recommend for places to see that are off the beaten path, maybe less touristy …

Travelling while in a relationship Hi guys, I’m in a committed relationship and planning a trip. I’m unsure if it’s worth having my partner join me for part of it or if I should go solo. We have different travel preferences, and I worry it might limit my experiences. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on traveling while in a relationship. How did it impact your relati…

What do you do with your backpack at the beach when alone? I travel alone and will soon be in Europe. I would like to visit some of the beaches and swim. I won’t have a car or anything like that to lock things in. What would you do with your stuff – i.e. backpack – while you’re in the water? submitted by /u/Suntelo127
