French Polynesia – which island? Booking our 10 year anniversary trip and looking at either Bora Bora or Moorea. Any feedback on these two? Is there another island that I should look at? And we have to go thru Tahiti, is it worth staying a few nights there? We only have 8 days. Our preferences: over water bungalow, gorgeous water, some mountains to hike, and awesome excursions/…

Where to live in Europe for 8 weeks in the summer/fall? I’m a 31 year old currently married, no kids at the moment, and living in NY. I’m in a fortunate position where I’ll be able to take a work sabbatical next year, for 6-8 weeks (leaning towards the 8). It’s only partially paid, but it seems like an awesome opportunity to live abroad for a bit, as my wife could still work remotely at her US job. W…

Extortion in Cartagena? So I was walking in Cartagena in a central touristy area. Had had a few beers and was only a short walk to my hostel. Some guy starts walking with me tryna sell me weed and at first I said no but then he went down to a fair price and I fancied some. So after paying 80,000 for 5g of weed (roughly $20) I was walking and was approached by a guy say…

Help Planning 17 Day Europe Trip Hi all! My wife and I are planning one last Europe trip before having kids. I am 32M and she is 36F. We like architecture, food, shows, sightseeing, and towns – not so keen on hiking (especially since she is pregnant right now!) Here is my rough draft which is currently at 18 days. Anything you all would suggest cutting out entirely or shortenin…

~7 hour layover in AMS, enough time to do anything or do we just stay at the airport Have a flight to BLQ that (originally) had a 2 hour layover in AMS. That got changed by the airlines and now its a ~7 hour layover. Usually with layovers I just hang out at the airport, but 7 hours seems like a long time. We will be arriving from the US, so i suppose a longer layover is better than super tight one. Is it a long enough of a layo…

Is Zika a concern in Argentina? Husband and I are thinking of going to Argentina in March but are also actively trying to conceive.

Cost of flights are reasonable from Vancouver and accommodation/food/transportation is supp…

Stopped at US Customs Before Entering Canada I’ve never had this happen before. I was driving back to Canada from the US and before I could drive to the Canadian Customs I was diverted to the American Customs where I was questioned and a quick search of my vehicle was conducted. When I was released I drove to the Canadian Customs for a much less involved discussion about my travel before I…

Travel insurance for frequent, short trips I live in the US near the Canadian border and often visit. I have a severe health condition and once wound up in a Canadian hospital being forced to pay over a thousand dollars out of pocket BEFORE they would provide emergency treatment. Needless to say I have purchased private insurance every time I’ve visited since. The thing is, I’m usually o…

Tourists taking my baby’s picture …. I thought I’d ask here because this isn’t the first time it has happened. I am currently in a very international city on a vacation with my family. Today at a tourist attraction there was a tour group from another country. About a half dozen tourists came up to me and my baby to take out picture – mostly of her but I was in some of them because…

Costco International? I (23M) have worked for Costco for 4 years now and have just learned that a brand new store has opened in Auckland, NZ. I graduated college last December, got full time but have never left the country and I lust for travel. I have a passport waiting for me to use it. Costco was a great college job, has good benefits, and pays the bills currently…

Mt. Cook or Franz Josef? My wife and I like to hike and are going to NZ in the summer of 2024. Which route do we go? I’ve seen some people say that Franz Josef is a lot more driving and may not be worthwhile if we’re not going to heli. It seems like we should pick Mt Cook? submitted by /u/EminentDominating

America, Asia, and Australasia My partner and I have just finished up a 6 month trip “around the world” and I thought that some people might be interested in hearing about it!
