I just can’t stomach how much more expensive lodging is. Yet, these places are booked! Just for reference, I live in the SF Bay Area. Before and during COVID-time, me and my gal would like to take weekend road trips. For example we would go down to the central coast…Pismo Beach was one of our favorites. We would typically budget around $250/night for a 2-3 star hotel. Often times we would book last minute. It was great to just …

Anyone else kinda dislike their home country when returning from traveling? I know there’s so much to be grateful for in my country, and I really am, but… I don’t know why, I just never felt like I belonged here? And whenever I travel and return home, that feeling gets like amplified a million times and I kinda start to hate it here. Every little thing starts to annoy me. But mostly just… people. Their attitudes, th…

Hawaii calls for tourists to visit Maui as unemployment claims surge I know there’s been a lot of posts and comments saying people shouldn’t visit Maui or even the entire state of Hawaii because it takes resources away from residents. Hawaii is now specifically asking you to come spend your tourist dollars. Just avoid west Maui. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/25/hawaii-calls-for-tourists-to-visit-maui-as-unemployme…

Do trans-pacific flights make the cabin dark? I have some mild flight anxiety, I can do late night flights no problem because of the lack of visual stimulation. But daytime flights cause anxiety, overstimulation. I’ll be flying from SFO -> NRT via Zipair early September, and it’s a 5:20pm flight. I dont need pitch black, I just enjoy “sunny out but curtains blocking” degree of light at mini…

Draft europe itinerary Hey all. As I’ve said in recent posts I was looking to try to book a Europe trip for next summer. Even though it’s super early I wanted to book it when the later summer flight dates drop so I can get the best prices. I wanted to ask y’all to rate my draft itinerary. I’m gonna make more with less destinations this was just one draft. All dates ar…

If there’s one thing travel has given me, it’s perspective. Seeing something on the news/online doesn’t hit the same as the visceral feeling of being there in person. Case in point, I was walking in broad daylight in a major US city recently, cars whizzing by, surrounded by people. Many of whom seemed to be aimless souls, some shirtless, some shouting obscenities at the sky. Clearly homeless and struggli…

Why do hotel websites suck? This really isn’t a rant; I’m more baffled than irritated. I mostly book B&B’s and small boutique hotels, and cannot tell you how many times I’ve encountered one or more of the following: uninformative or non-existent pictures of the rooms; web submission forms that can’t accept entries; info@xxx email addresses that are never monitored; booking…

Just came back from Egypt and we had a fairly positive experience OK, there’s so much negative posts here that a good experience would provide some perspective. My gf and I just came back from Cairo. We were bracing for a hell of a fight but really, it wasn’t that bad at all. For some background, we are 35 (m) and 30 (f) and have traveled extensively. To be clear, I don’t recommend Egypt to first time travel…

We´ve already booked the accommodations and planned the route. This will be the route: -Starting in Kent -> New Forest -> Torquay -> St. Ives -> St. Austell -> along the west coast up to Bath ->…

We need a word for that feeling where your trip is ending, you’re excited to go home, but sad for it to end. There’s really no feeling like it in my experience. That cusp when you start looking forward to going home but you’re clinging on to your last moments after a long trip. Bittersweet to say the least. I really don’t know how I’d describe it. There’s some desperation, reflection, optimism, bargaining and melancholy. Anyone else thought of this? …

The weekend in Den Haag I love this city. It is magical. The weather is windy most of the time, but despite that, there are many interesting places that are worth visiting. The only downside is the enormously expensive parking. 🅿 submitted by /u/bnicovski

What’s it like to travel to and from the Philippines as a foreigner? The Philippine Bureau of Immigration recently just implemented new rules for Filipinos traveling abroad as tourists. It drew flak from the Filipino community because it seems that they almost don’t want you to travel with the amount of requirements. Although, the bureau insists that these measures are in place to prevent/lessen the occurrence of…

Going to Saudi Arabia So I’m going to Saudi Arabia in September for a friends wedding for a week and to be frank I’m quite worried, everything I’ve seen online isn’t exactly making me excited to go. So my question is as a 36 year old male what should I know? The do’s and do not’s. What to watch out for. This is literally the first time I’m leaving Canada so any advic…

Norse airways How is Norse airways so cheap? They have tickets that can be $100-175 per person from NYC to London when all other airlines according to Google flights are $400-500 per person during summer (looking for 2024). What’s the catch? submitted by /u/Upstairs_Bison_1339
