A Lonely Holdout Where Republicans Still Resist Trump: Utah Bolstered by Mormon voters’ distaste for MAGA politics, the center-right is trying to reassert itself in a ruby-red state.
Some love for Lonely Planet guidebooks Hey everyone! I’ve seen that people believe that Lonely Planet guidebooks have become worse and worse and closer to an Instagram post because of the more visual approach. While I would agree that maybe they give less info on accomodation, restaurants and public transport, I am actually quite a fan of this new format. I believe that most of the i…

Online alternative for Lonely Planet I always take a Lonely Planet with me when traveling, but this time I’d like to travel as light as possible. Anyone has some good recommendations for an app for smartphone that’s similar to Lonely Planet? Don’t mind paying a bit if it’s good. Edit: I’m traveling to Vietnam for a month btw submitted by /u/Ninaa4life

I hate the new lonely planet format. I’ve always gravitated towards them because of their low-image, high-detail formats. But the new guides have many more pictures, many less facts, and are harder to navigate in my opinion. I feel like them trying to appeal to the mainstream has ruined the experience for me. I used to love reading up on my destination in a good book before leaving…
Lonely Planet’s Demise Has anyone else noticed how awful Lonely Planet has gotten? The layout, information, and literature is just simply sloppy. I’ve been skimming through about 40 pages of the newest edition of the East Africa book that was published November 2023 and have found so many typos and grammatical error; as if half of it was written on a smartphone and n…
Lonely Landmarks of North America Hey folks! I have a fascination for road trip / hiking landmarks that are in relatively remote locations. Sometimes it’s a mere sign acknowledging the significance of the area (historically, culturally, environmentally). Other times it’s just a cool piece of roadside art, or an ominous / foreboding monument. Places I already had on my list inclu…
Lonely Planet alternatives Hi everybody! I’ve heard that Lonely Planet has gone downhill with newer versions of the books. Does anyone have tips for good guide alternatives, particularly per Vietnam! Thanks submitted by /u/Spacemuch
With the Vision Pro’s Spatial Personas, you can be lonely with friends I failed converting Wes to K-pop, but we agreed that Cowboy Carter slaps. | Screenshot: Victoria Song / The VergeThe inside of an Apple Vision Pro is a lonely place to be. My spouse and I can’t watch movies together. It’s hard to describe what the world looks like in there to curious friends. Even if I’m standing next to you, even if there’s a g…
Lonely in Japan – I Might be doing it wrong… Japan is beautiful & I feel so fortunate to have experienced so much here already. But I’m a little down out at the moment.. & I think it’s from a lack of company… In my previous travels through Europe I regularly found great people at hostels, on walking tours & random activities which often lead to an impromptu group on an adventure. My gut re…
Lonely Planet turns 50 this year submitted by /u/walpolemarsh
How to not feel as lonely while traveling alone? So I’m currently traveling in Japan, got here on Sunday, and am currently doing 2 weeks here, staying in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. I’m here completely solo, and it’s my first trip completely solo. In the past it’s always been with family or a tour group. It’s the end of Day 5 and it’s been an amazing trip so far, and I’m proud of myself for being…

LPT: Lonely people, be cautious of those who want to become close friends quickly. Narcissists and users target lonely folks by giving them what they crave – emotional intimacy very quickly. Initially, you will feel great – needed, appreciated, accepted. Once you’re hooked, the bad behavior begins. Ironically, this really starts hitting when lonely people finally get the energy or courage to put themselves out there to meet new people. This lonely and looking is the vibe these toxic types pick up on. Narcissists and users are often attracted to lonely people because what puts others off, they see as an opportunity to exploit. They know the…
LPT: Being lonely can lead to a vicious cycle where the more obvious it is, the less people want to interact with you. The best way to break the cycle is to learn how to act like someone who isn’t lonely. (Details in the post.) I’ve been through this so many times in my life. Because of my work and general lifestyle, I have had to move many times (6 big moves to 6 different cities in three different countries on two different continents). I’ve never made friends easily but have a very profound need for meaningful human interactions, so I easily fall into the trap of lo…
What Happened to Lonely Planet?!?! I recently received the newly published version (June 20th) of Lonely Planet Greece and it’s terrible. They have taken out most practical information and replaced it with pitcures, leaving it relatively useless. Also the organization is a mess and they no longer cover off the beaten path sights. No info about trasnportation, attraction hours and…
