Just came back from China, some simple tips mostly about food culture and some about travel My reason for going to China is actually personal and I have only inserted a few tourism in this recent travel. I stayed in Shanghai and Shandong Province. I have also previously (2019) visited China: also Shandong but I went to Beijing instead of Shanghai. Anyway, here are my tips: Astrill is a great VPN to use. I used the 7 day trial in my la…

Visit NYC or London in November? Debating whether to visit London or NYC November 18-25 from San Diego, CA. Background: 29, traveling with husband Spent 1 week in NYC in 2021 & 2 days in London in 2022 (loved both cities) Interests: food, history, art & things like comedy shows, theatre, etc. Budget: we’ll end up spending relatively the same amount in either city – so this isn…

Going to Milan, Italy for a week this Wednesday. I can stay in Europe for up to 3 weeks more. Where is the best “direction” to go from Italy to visit as many cool places at a calm, brisk pace? I am not the one visiting Milan, just phrased the title that way for simplicity’s sake My cousin is going to visit a friend in Milan (from Canada) this wednesday. His plans for the summer are open so I’m heavily encouraging him to visit other countries (as well as exploring Italy itself) for a few weeks. I did a 3 month loop through Europe about…

Do yall and or how do yall reflect on your travel experiences? Like the title states I guess. I have one more night to go and it’s feeling bitter sweet. 🙃 I love my country but would like to explore the world if I could get a break long enough that is. Feeling all kinds of emotions as I usually do from previous trips. I really enjoy the lifestyle of countries outside the u.s. but make a living in the home…

Lost/delayed baggage with possible food inside that was not reported at customs – how screwed am I Flew from WAW to IAD with a layover in MUC yesterday (August 26) (Lufthansa and United). Flight LH1613 and LH414, respectively. One of my checked suitcases was not loaded onto the plane in Munich because I got an email from Lufthansa. I tried to file a complaint online and it asks me if I have anything to declare so I remembered I probably had s…

I want to go home. My (37m) husband and I (27f) booked a tour of the ‘Great Italian Lakes’, where we’ve travelled from London through to Lake orta (7n/8d) by train. Proper looking forward to it all year. Maybe it’s my ignorance, though I’m leaning towards the the way it was advertised, but I had no clue it was a full-fledged GROUP touring holiday. We are now stu…

Scotland by train Hi, I’m trying to book a train from Edinburg to Inverness and then Inverness to Glasgow. I noticed that it’s much cheaper when you do round trip vs one way. Is there a way to do a multi city trip without paying so much more? submitted by /u/Cacorm

Disposing water bottles on Avianca flight during boarding Hi everyone, I have flown Avianca a few times and have traveled to several other international countries throughout. Today, while boarding my flight from Bogota to JFK, they had crew members right outside the plane check everyone’s belongings to make sure there were no water bottles being brought onto the plane. I was wondering if this was norm…

Little known ways to get cheap airfare? I always stumble across stuff like this but I never make note of them. Websites, airlines, etc. Like, there was one airline that was advertising on NPR lately that specializes in flights to Germany, so you can (I guess) usually do better with them than a big name carrier, for a flight to Munich or where ever. My wife and I want to visit either V…

Can I travel to Portugal with a passport that expires in 6 months? I am American, and my passport expires on April 7th, 2024. Can I travel to Portugal for a work trip with a departure date (the date I’ll be leaving Portugal) of October 12, 2023? I know the Schengen area has a 6 month pasport expiration date rule, and I worry that I’m cutting it too close. Any advice? Thanks! submitted by /u/Receptorofkn…

How to pay for things in Japan? Hi, my family is taking our first trip to East Asia next year by going to Japan. Never been. Anyway, I had heard both that American credit cards might not work there AND that they use cash a lot? What is the truth? What’s the best way to pay for things on a trip to Japan (we will be there 10 days). submitted by /u/solojones1138 …

Can I wear long pants to Spain or will it be too hot? Im going to spain this week for 9 days and all I’m taking are long pants and skirts because I have chopstick legs and feel terrible about exposing them. Even in Canadian summer I never wear shorts in public. My mom is making a fuss about me only bringing long bottoms because she says im gonna be too hot so Im wondering will it be too hot to wea…

European multi-country trip planned, unsure which train pass (or not) to use. I am traveling from the US to Europe in mid September and am seeking advice on train transportation.
