How much should I budget to visit Spain? My dad is renting an apartment in Barcelona for a couple of months and wants me to come stay with him. I already bought my plane ticket and am super excited about it, but I’ve never been to Europe before. I’m an American and have travelled to most of the states and Canada but that’s it. How much should I budget for miscellaneous activities, foo…

Just a reminder to be careful, our recent experience in Dublin Note: I’m not writing this to deter anyone from travelling, just reminder to not let your guard down while on vacation. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Dublin and would go back in a heartbeat. Wife and I just got back home from a trip to Ireland. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the country was and how hospitable everyone was. We spent t…

Caves without being a climber suggestions? Anywhere in the world, though I live in CO, USA. I’m not a climber by any stretch of the imagination, not looking to be hooked up to ropes… What I’m looking for are really impressive/beautiful/unique caves that one can walk or crawl through. I don’t mind squeezing in tight spaces. I just think the damp, dark strangeness of them is so enchantin…

A guide to driving in Peru If you are anything like me you like to travel at your own pace without having to rely on to many people to get you from point A to point B. This desire almost always leads me to renting my own mode of transportation, and doing my own driving, so that I am not at the whim and fancy of a bus driver, taxi, Uber, etc. Seeing as how I have not seen …

Cancellation by owner, then ghosted for refund. What should I do? Hi all, my partner and I had booked a B&B experience at a bed and breakfast in Michigans UP over a year ago (called Milkweed Inn if you want to know). We were supposed to go this past week 8/7-8/9 for our reservation, but they cancelled the week (7/31) before citing a family emergency. We were very sad but we understand that things happen. They …

First time traveler, I am having troubles know where to even begin? I have a lot of vacation time I am being forced to use. I will most likely be using the vacation time anywhere from Feb – April of next year. So I figured I would look into actually going on a vacation. I am a 28M lives in Canada and only ever been to Florida, Quebec and Michigan. Only Florida was a vacation but I was 13 at the time. I’ve always…

Best city to take a train tour through the Swiss Alps? Girlfriend and I are in Bern until Wednesday the 16th, and we’d love to do one of those train rides through the alps. I know there aren’t really any train tours in Bern, but we’re more than willing to commute to Lucerne/Thun/Basel/Interlaken early in the morning if it means we get to see some beautiful sights. What are some good-value train ride…

City Review: Belgrade – One of the underrated destinations in Eastern Europe, If you enjoy nature, water activities and a chilled night life. Belgrade is the town you want to visit. https://preview.redd.it/vbdk86s5hwhb1.png?width=6912&format=png&auto=webp&s=9687d0c9bdc27173628902033c82f1b090e50631 Affordability Rent Airbnb was pretty affordable, I paid like EUR700 for 17 days for a 1 bedroom in the City center, but I’m sure you could find something cheaper than this. Groceries Got stung with these a couple of times in small…

Places I’ve travelled that show off the exorbitant wealth of the upper class of that time Places I’ve travelled that show off the exorbitant wealth of the upper class of that time Two places I’ve travelled that really stand out for me, for showing just how insanely wealthy people can become: William Randolph Hearst’s Castle (or mansion) on the California coast. Guy had a house built on top of a hill 100 years ago because it was a cam…

Female solo traveller feeling uncomfortable in my hostel. Should I leave? I’m in a hostel in Montenegro. I chose it because of the good reviews. I’m a female in a mixed dorm. Not only does the door to the room not close properly, but the bathroom in the room has a broken lock. The amount of times I’m having people barge in while I’m on the toilet is insane. People aren’t even knocking when they see the door closed. Li…

A coloured woman in Sicily I’m born and raised Singapore. 🇸🇬 I moved to Sweden 🇸🇪 some years ago for studies and have there since. During a recent 3-week visit to Italy, specifically Sicily, I encountered some challenging experiences that caught me off guard. As a conscientious tourist who contributes to the local economy through my spending, I actively seek out Sicilian …

Do you leave the 5 Star Resort when you travel to a tropical destination? I was all excited to visit with my friends who spent ten days on a tropical island in Asia last month. They spent about 40 hours in cars, airplanes and airports from Jamestown North Dakota USA to get there and arrived after dark. They took a taxi to a fancy resort hotel and then never left the resort the entire ten days. I asked them what they d…

One week in Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest, what are the main places one should absolutely make time/money to visit? I’ll bee 4 days in Vienna, 1 day in Bratislava and 3 days in Budapest. I don’t have a very large budget to spend on entrance tickets, but I also don’t want to just see the cities from the outside. In Vienna I’ll probably buy the Vienna pass of 3 days, with this you can see everything from a list of 70 places as long as you do it inside those 3 d…

Hotel cancelled and refunded my money even though I stayed there?? Checked into a hotel on Sunday the 6th. We checked in one hour early and they gave us one of the only rooms that was available at that time. We stayed and checked out on the 8th. Didn’t do any of this electronically (the checking in and out) we did it all with an actual person at the front desk. A day after checking out we received a full refun…

Has anyone ever found their hotel or guest house so comfortable and cozy that you didn’t leave to go out and do anything? I wouldn’t expect someone that’s on a short trip to do this and miss the limited opportunity to sightsee. I’m on an extended trip. Arrived in Ipoh, Malaysia yesterday, and I love this guest house I’m staying in. It is so clean, so comfortable, the staff are so friendly, the cafe/coffee bar downstairs serves amazing food and coffee. I haven’t set…

Minack Theatre in Cornwall, UK – An outdoor theatre built into the side of a cliff Gradually evolving over the last 90 years, the Minack Theatre started as a place for Rowena Cade – who loved putting on plays and making costumes – to stage her local production of The Tempest on the rocks near her house. So much of it was built with her own two hands, as she famously trekked down to the beach below every evening to collect big …
