Costa Rica Indecision Hoping for some honest opinions to help with this decision. Some friends and I are taking a trip to Costa Rica this November. We are flying into Liberia and planning to stay a few days in La Fortuna and then a few days at the beach. We are looking at Playa Hermosa and Playa del Coco. Would love opinions about each to help us make our decision. T…

Any need for cash while traveling to London? Europe seemed pretty amenable to credit cards earlier this year and used cash at a minimum. Trying to decide how much is enough to exchange for a few days in London vs if even needed. Appreciate y’all! submitted by /u/anappaadaykpsdraway

Unmarried foreign and arab travelers in Egypt Hello! We are a couple with moroccan (him) and german (her) passport looking to travel to a decent resort. I know it’s not possible to share a room for unmarried egyptians in Egypt and if we both were European it wouldn’t matter as well, but are there special rules for arab/muslim travelers? Thanks! Update: Pickalbatros hotel just told me they w…

Which airline crew has been consistently the best or the worst After traveling with all different airlines, many more than 3 to 4 times. I think Air France crew has been very consistent, always smiley, friendly, very well trained (IMO), problem solvers rather than ignorers. Delta also has amazing crew onboard, Emirates crew goes out of their way and often knows what they are doing and won’t hesitate to give…

August 2023 trip to Morocco. Some pictures and my itinerary/opinion. First six pictures are Chefchaouen. It’s a beautiful place but it gets very crowded, I’d recommend staying there at least a couple nights and getting up early in the morning so you can enjoy it without the crowds and all the souvenir stalls. The views from the Spanish Mosque are breathtaking. There’s a river right where the path uphill begins wh…

My Central Asian trip (part 3 – Tajikistan) Continuing off from the posts I made in July about Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, here are my Tajikistan travel photos. After this the only country left is Kazakhstan, and I will make an itinerary post with tips for anybody interested in travelling Central Asia. Tajikistan was a stunning country, both in nature, architecture, and people. I didn’t do…

Chisinău, Odessa and transnistria 10/6-19/6 Without doubt the most interesting trip I have done by far. Flew to Moldova then got a bus to Odessa, got the bus back to chisinău then bus to transnistria and cab back to Moldova. Wasn’t the most straight forward route but then these days that area isn’t the most straightforward to traverse currently. submitted by /u/Crafty-beggar

Have you traveled to both Pompeii and Herculaneum? If so, which would you recommend if I could only go to one? My wife and I have 3 days in Naples to visit Caserta, the birthplace of my grandma. I desperately want to do both, but our schedule only has time for one. I’ve read so much about both and it really seems 50/50. I’m not sure what should be the deciding factor. I plan to return to the area to do the other, but it may be 15 years+ later. If you …

Passport Question Hello, I recently got married in January. We took a couple months because we had to move and had some career changes and we are now planning our upcoming honeymoon, does anyone know if I can still use my “old” passport with my maiden name on it as long as I bring my marriage certificate? All of my info has changed, SSN, ID, etc. I just want to k…

How to deal with money on long trips I’ve seen a few comments from people saying they have done 6mo to 1 or even 2 years of traveling to different places. My question is, how do you deal with money? For a long term trip… do you bring enough money with you and then start converting little by little to the currency if the country you’re in at the time? How do you deal with 6+month…

Ireland in March? I am trying to plan a trip to Ireland this March. I’m a teacher so I thought I would take advantage of my spring break. I genuinely cannot decide where to stay. I teach history so I would love somewhere with historical sights to explore. I’ve been looking at Killarney, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and Dingle. Can anyone please give me some pros and c…

I don’t have a lot of time to spare but I definitely could spare 2-3 hours each day for a 4 day stretch to see some stuff. I’m planning to see mt.

Don’t take Uber from Orlando Airport Rather than pay airport parking, we decided to use Uber to get to and from Orlando Airport for our last trip to Europe. We had no issues going to the airport, but trying to get home was a nightmare. Three different drivers all tried the same scam. They cancelled the ride as we got to their car. They claimed it was a system issue, or that we canc…

What did you do before it became commonly accepted as unethical? This post is inspired by the riding an elephants thread. I ran with the bulls in 2011, climbed Uluru in 2008 and rode an elephant in 2006. Now I feel bad. I feel like, at the time, there was a quiet discussion about the ethics of the activities but they were very normalised. I also climbed the pyramids, and got a piece of the Berlin Wall as a so…
