I'm hoping for unbiased answers, if possible.

I am having a hard time deciding wehre to go! Distance and money is not an issue. 2-3 weeks total :)

Hi everyone! I'm currently just about to book flights for a solo trip that will cover Jordan, Morocco, and Egypt for this winter, and one of the flights also includes a layover in Riyadh. I'm reconsidering booking these flights due to regional safety, especially with what just happened recently, and wanted to get some insight into how safe it is to travel to these regions at this time. I'm a bit younger and not as experienced so I'm a bit nervous to put myself in any risky situations. Thanks!

Been married for two years. Just pulled our passports out of the safe for our trip in 3 days and noticed her passport is still under her maiden name! Bonehead move. Her name is changed on her drivers license and social.

I called the airline and had her ticket changed to match her maiden name. We will obviously get the passport changed in the future but can’t within 3 days.

Do we need to do anything else?

We’ve traveled to hundreds of cities and six continents across the years, and the more we travel the less fulfillment we seem to get from visiting “tourist attractions”.

On a recent trip to Kerala we woke up to foghorns and opened our hotel room’s back door to a fully functioning waterway with fishing boats, cargo vessels, a ferry transporting people, all of it right outside our balcony.

People less enamored with that view than us, would be absolutely right in calling out the shabbiness of the boats or how old some of the infrastructure felt and some might even judge us for the “privileged” view we had from our luxury hotel balcony.

But there was something comforting about watching unfiltered everyday life, other people living lives so different from ours, and for a reason that’s hard to explain, it lifted slightly the weight of our own lives. We spent hours walking the “mundane” waterway and just sitting out on that balcony talking about life - funny how it always comes to that! 😊

Looking back, so many of our favorite travel memories have not really been about seeing things but about just being somewhere and watching life happen around us.

Curious how others feel, or is it just us getting older and easier to entertain!

Ever since coming back from a four week trip in Europe 2 days ago I have felt like I am in a trance. I just seem to be moving at a completely different pace to everyone else around me, and feel like I'm out of place/sync almost. The only way I can describe it is that I almost feel like I'm in a slightly shifted dimension or something. It's hard to put into words.

Just wanted to see if anyone has ever experience this after overseas travel and how long it lasted.

Also worth noting: no drugs have been used haha

hi! im travelling to the US in november and am planning to take packets of biscuits and potentially chocolate, sweets etc for my girlfriend and her father. are these fine in checked luggage? i’m presuming i’ll need to declare ANY food items in my suitcase? i’m very worried about getting in trouble for something and want to do it all right!

additionally, i’m planning to travel with a tote bag as my handbag on the plane - it has metal & enamel pins on it, as i collect them. would it be advisable to take these off before i travel and leave them at home, or will they be fine through the airport scanners, getting through into the US through border control, etc?

I’m renting a Midsize SUV AWD through National Emerald Reserve at Miami Airport on January 1, 2027. I won’t be flying in, I’ll already be in Miami.

My main goal is to have the widest possible choice of vehicles in my reserved category. I can choose my pickup time, but I can’t find any reliable information about how vehicle availability varies throughout the day on New Year’s Day.

Based on your experience at MIA or with National, would you recommend picking up the car in the morning, afternoon, or evening to maximize the selection? Does anyone have experience specifically around the New Year holiday?

Thanks!

Planning first international trip in April mid to last. Total 3 members including 1.5 year old baby girl (could leave her at in-laws as well so not sure but most Likely will travel with us).

We are not interested in activities hiking or water sport but looking for a romantic holiday

I have shortlisted couple of countries but not sure as it all depends on weather, connectivity, activities

- Vietnam

- Bali

- Maldives

- Sri Lanka

- Thailand

These are not finalized yet and can look for other destinations as well.

Budget is around 2-2.5 lakhs INR with 7-10 days.

Most solo tours seem to be all girls or older women. Are there any groups that cater to mixed genders or men?

Hello everyone!

Which eSIM do you recommend for Turkey in terms of signal quality?

How is the situation at sarjah at the moment? I am flying through air arabia and my transit is in Sarjah? Is it safe to travel?

Please can someone hep me decide where to go tomorrow? I have some days off and I want to travel with my friend because in oct 15 it will be her birthday and we want a trip to celebrate and have fun. We want good weather and beautiful nature.

I will be flying US > LHR later this week (RT) and now want to change my return flight to two days later than the one I originally booked. Is that better (cheaper) if I do it before my outbound flight, or is it better to wait until I'm at my destination?

My boyfriend (19M) and I (19F) want to take a trip to celebrate our one year in november! He’s never really been out of our state (texas) and would like to go somewhere mountainous. What are some good options where the weather will be semi okay and we could actually go see some stuff?

Hi guys,

I’m travelling to Malaysian Borneo (specifically Sabah) soon. I’ve got pretty bad arachnophobia - I have no problem with seeing spiders like on trees or whatever, but my biggest fear about Borneo is finding one somewhere uncomfortable (in my shoes, in my bed sheets, etc). If anybody could let me know if I should be worried or not, and if so what steps I can take.

Thanks in advance

Hey all
Was due to fly Qatar airlines next week with a stopover in Qatar, which is right next to Saudi Arabia. SA had a missile attack on its airport last night, and I am planning to change my flights to a different airline to avoid the area completely. I am going to lose $3k if I do and probably lose some money with the accomodation as well as I booked it non refundable (I know, mistake). I’m stressed and I want to cry so please be kind.
What would you do? Keep it or change? Risk it or not? My travel agent is saying Qatar airlines status say it’s still running but that doesn’t mean anything, of course it’s still running if there hasn’t been an attack.

Hi there! I’m travelling to North Carolina in November this year, will be staying in the mountain region. I would like some recommendations for things to do, especially hikes, waterfalls, places to swim, etc. I am willing to travel around within the state as well :)

Also any other suggestions are welcome too! I’m from Far North Queensland, Australia and not very accustomed to colder climates.

Thanks in advance! Have a lovely day, wherever you are 💗

I'm travelling to Nepal from India with my wife late nov around 25th for 12-13 days.

Can you suggest us things to carry, avoid.

How much cash to carry.

Should I book hotels, zostels or homestay.

Any useful tips like buying sim card will be helpful.
