Anyone with a drug related felony get into Japan recently? When I (usa) was young and dumb in my 20s, I made a pretty dire mistake and got arrested for a felony drug charge. I only served 11 months, but being a drug related felony, I’m still nervous about going to Japan. I would like to hear from people who have been in the same situation and knowingly checked that “No” box. Ideally some anecdotal know…

DO NOT use Priceline.com! Warning! Thought I’d pass along the information and advice here as well as Priceline is trying to fraud me. I booked a ticket on August 13th when I saw a decent ticket… When I tried to book it, it told me that the payment could not be completed and that the flight I selected was sold out… Ok fine. I booked another ticket which was not sold out and t…

Your best experiences /recommendations for nature related trips (e.g Safaris / tours Zoos / etc)? One of my main interests is nature related travel “stuff” involving wildlife (could be birding, feeding unique animals, staying in farms, aquariums, anything that you really enjoyed. doesn’t have to be expensive , but hopefully replicable by others who are interested). Through reading comments in random threads I have learned just a bit about wh…

China – Cash vs WeChat Pay or AliPay Haven’t been to China in about a decade. Back then I just did strictly cash, but what about in 2023? Would I be better off just doing mobile payments this time around? submitted by /u/Hutongs

What can I buy for someone as a gift for their 30hr travel to Africa? A teacher of mine is leaving next week. She’s doing some kind of wilderness tour. She’s been really great in the time I’ve known her, and I want to give her something of use for her travel/trip. The only idea I have so far is a Tile for any of her belongings. I know she’s basically set in most other regards. Can anyone else think of something a …

Weekend getaway I live in northern Kentucky. What’s a decent weekend getaway that’s around a 4 hour drive? I’ve googled it and every site says the same thing and most likely is paid for by those locations. I want something unique and different. We love to go hiking, trying new places to eat, site seeing, zoos, museums. We’ve also discussed flying somewhere che…

How do you explain this very strange sequence of events? TL;DR: my girlfriend suffered a very minor injury in an hotel in Tbilisi, which we politely reported. Less than an hour later for some reason a 10/10 review was left on booking.com about such hotel, coming from my girlfriend account, but she didn’t do any of that.. Hi everybody. This is my first post on this community..me and my fiancee are comp…

Which is that one medicine which you always carry with you on international trips? I was on a Europe and england trip this spring season. I carried all the possible medicines with me but I forgot to carry antihistamine cream. I never needed it in India so it was never in my list of medicines. I got bitten by an insect in england when I went for a walk in a countryside park. The bite didnt show on my head but I had pain in my e…

12 day itinerary – Porto, Lisbon & Madeira Partner and I are visiting at the end of September from Toronto, and have been taking our Portuguese lessons with Duolingo very seriously! Here is our (fairly detailed) itinerary so far – anything glaring that we’re missing?

Free (not organised) beaches in Greece Hi, we’re heading to Naxos, Paros and Milos in a few days and are there for the next 3 weeks. Do you have to pay for the beaches in these places, or can you just lay towels down in open spaces and swim for free? I’ve struggled to find information online as everyone reviews the beach clubs, but I’d like not to pay €15 or more every day for three…

Do you learn about the history of your travel destination prior to arrival?? Title says it all—do you ever make a point to learn about the history of the country/city you’re going to visit? And if yes, are there any resources you recommend? I doubt I can find the time to read full books, but I’d like to have some background to make my trip more meaningful submitted by /u/Prestigious_Bag9758

What’s the ideal amount of resting days for a long trip? I’m planning a long (60-70 day) trip to Europe, and I’ve included many cities and small towns (most of these I’m planning to visit as a day trip). I’ve realised that my schedule became too packed with transportation (51 of my 70 days include transportation from/to somewhere else, whether it’s a flight, international train travel or a short regio…

Last week i was on vacation in munich with 3 friends. On our last day, instead of taking the train back home, we ended up drunk at the airport and bought a plane ticket to Nice 50 minutes before departure. A bit spontaneous but turned out to be one of the best experiences in my life! submitted by /u/New_Cod6544
