International Phone Line Hello, I am based in the US but traveling to a different country every month.

Wife is afraid of international travel This is probably going to come across wrong, but I hope not. My wife and I love traveling… but to different ends.

We’re about to go on a cruise where Cozumel is a port of call. She flat out s…

International travel to asian while pregnant? My husband and I were supposed to do at least one international trip before trying for kids(THANKS COVID!) since we mostly do domestic travel. We’re thinking about trying next year. I want to go to China. But of course it will depend on if and how far along I will be. We won’t have vacation for another year because of a new job. I’ve been to Ch…

Opinions on self-transferring for an international flight? I have been looking at flights to Mexico from the UK and it would be much cheaper on the way back to fly from Mexico City > Cancun and then from Cancun > UK. However, it would have to be a self transfer. Would arriving with checked luggage with 3h50m time be enough to factor in delays or should we just completely avoid it? We are looking at sav…

This might look right to the untrained eye, but these are actually mostly wrong. You might also see things like: MAW-cuh-sin for “moccasin” These…

JFK customs is an international embarrassment So if you come into T4 customs it looks okay and they have Global Entry kiosks just like at T1 however at both terminals there are no simple Egates. Thus forcing EVERYONE yes including those unlucky few who get a flag with global entry to speak to an officer. Why not simply install E-gates like other countries have? Also if you fly into T1 get…

Should I tell bf about international trip or keep it a surprise? My (22f) boyfriend (22f) mentioned a couple weeks ago how cool it would be to go to Paris during the Olympics. I’ve been able to acquire a decent amount of miles through my credit cards and I’ve never been to Europe, so I really want to surprise him on Christmas day showing him that I booked us flights to Europe next July. I was thinking three w…

I travel with daily pill medicine all the time but I’m moving to a different country and will need to bring along a 3 months supply of my monthly injectable medication. It’s not insulin, it is an auto injection pen though and the box it comes in is quite large. It does need to be refrigerated at all times and can on…

Online website selling to international customers – VAT/tax issues Right now I believe my EU customers have to pay taxes upon receipt of my goods. My items are handmade/costume jewelry and usually cost less than 20Euro. Only a handful of my customers are from EU and I’m wondering if the additional payment of VAT is the issue here. Also wanted to know if there is a way for online sellers (like me) to charge VAT …
