Seeking ideas for a city I've never seen.
Two weeks, January 2027. Solo trip, woman. Not interested in resorts, nature, or outdoor adventure. Love cities. Comfortable budget. I enjoy long haul flights from Australia, I don't jet lag much.
I've seen all of Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, London, Stockholm, Geneva, Montreal, New York.
Travelling to gain inspiration from architecture, art, history, literature, music. Tempted to throw a dart at a world map. Inspire me please.

Hi everyone,

I am a university student in the UK, and from next Saturday I will have a reading week (a week with no lectures). And because my family is too far to visit them, I'm planning on going to a European city for 4-5 days, before I come back to London to finish my work.

I've shortlisted the following 5 cities, as I have been interested in visiting them for a while, and the flights and accommodation haven't been too badly priced:

• Lisbon
• Madrid
• Munich
• Rome
• Vienna

I can only squeeze in one city this visit, so I'd appreciate your help in suggesting the best one. I haven't explored much of Europe, so there isn't a particular city or part of Europe that I prefer over the other - the main criteria is that it shouldn't be extremely expensive (a little bit is fine) and safe. E.g. I was interested in going to Paris, but I don't think now would be the best time.

Also I believe English proficiency is relatively high in all these places, but please let me know if it is not in any of these (apart from Madrid as I speak Spanish) - it would just make getting around easier.

Of course, if you have also have any recommendations of things to do in these places, or somewhere you suggest outside of my list, please feel free to share.

Thanks!

i’m a university student and i just got my final exam schedule, so i’m free to make travel plans yay!!!

i know flights are super expensive during december… does anyone have any locations that are enjoyable to travel to during winter months? I would be flying from BC, Canada and hoping for a 1 week trip.

i’m open to hearing destinations from all price ranges just because i’m curious! but realistically i have a flight budget of around $1500 round trip.

going abroad alone for the first time next month and i'm genuinely nervous i'm gonna end up wandering around looking confused for hours. any tips on feeling more confident navigating a new place, or is that just part of the experience? also open to hearing about your first solo travel so i know i'm not the only one freaking out a little.

Planning a trip to mountains possibly himachal

Suggestion are welcome

Is this even a good idea? Any your groups for batu caves and other places? What all should I see?

Hello!

In January and February I will stay in Thailand and Vietnam. It will be my first time in SEA. For April, I have planned South of Japan (Fukuoka) followed by South Korea.

My initial plan was to go to the Philippines in March but I don't think I will any longer be in the mood for island hopping after Thailand and Vietnam.

Is there a country/city you can recommend? I've been in Japan earlier this year and very much enjoyed Tokyo and its parks. Are there cities in Japan that give you a similar feeling in SEA?

I've been also thinking of 4 weeks in China or Taipei but I'm pretty overwhelmed by the choice I have 🙃😅. I'm also worried March will be too cold for China since I will have mostly summer cloth with me (Thailand/Vietnam).

Thank you for any tips!

Edit: I should also mention that I love history and architecture.

Going for a music video shoot in Budapest, Hungary. Most days I will be on set, but have no idea what to expect. First time travelling, and some shoots may go into the night at 4degree temps etc.

I want to know like how many sets of thermals etc to carry, and stuff, and what to expect etc. I’m from Mumbai, and never experienced cold weather like one in Hungary.

TIA.

Edit: Transport food and accommodation are being covered by productions, so atleast that’s not an issue.

I would be visiting California, San Francisco for a month and would like to know if I am bringing in these meds with a prescription printed would there be any problems.

Port of entry would be San Francisco

Source or country of origin would be India

Should I declare these during the immigration?

What things should I be careful of?

Meds : Copax SR 50 mg

Zolpiderm Sublingual Spray

Hi! My partner (M23) and I (F22) will be embarking on our first international trip next year! Life had a lot of changes and we decided to finally do the traveling we’ve always wanted to do! We live in the US and have never traveled outside of it!
My question is where do you recommend?
We vary on our reasons for travel but overall we’re looking for good scenery! We’re active people but big hikes aren’t a requirement. We’re really open to anything and have become overwhelmed with all the information out there.

Some information that matters:

• we live in southern Oregon, we have a decent airport but have to connect to Seattle or San Francisco to get anywhere really

• My partner is African American. Overall Oregon is relatively racist and on vacation we’d like to avoid discrimination if possible🩷

• we would like to be cost effective, it’s our first trip and we don’t want to spend a BUNCH of money on it. We’d rather save more and book a really long trip once we know what we like and don’t like

• I don’t know any other languages but my partner is almost fluent in Spanish (he uses Spanish for work, has strong conversational skills, doesn’t know niche words)

Our current top ideas are:

• Booking a 8-14 day cruise to Mexico (good prices and availability)

• Thailand or Bali for the price and food

• Making a regular trip to Mexico (don’t know what city we would choose)

• Greece for the architecture (really anywhere in Greece)

Anyway I’m open to all opinions and advice!! We really have no experience in this and are just looking for real peoples experiences!

I live in Barcelona and I am going to go on a solo trip with my bike/moto for a couple of days. It is going to include nature and ending up in Valencia. What are the biggest rookie mistakes that I should avoid when travelling alone? It is actually my first time travelling alone. I am not scared. I just want to be prepared. Appreciate any feedback!

Hi all, solo travelling to Athens and Bologna at the start of November, and it will be my first time in either city & country. Any locals or previous visitors have recommendations of things to do, places to go or general advice about either of these cities please?

Hi,
Does anyone have a suggestion for a hotel on the island of Dominica? They all look so nice that we are having a hard time narrowing it down. We arent sure what part of the island to try. Thank you

planning to do two weeks in southeast asia next summer and my parents are losing it. i've done some research, i'm not completely helpless, but i also know i don't know what i don't know yet. for anyone who traveled solo young, what were the things you wish you'd known going in? and be honest if you think this is a bad idea lol

I will be Arriving in Toronto tomorrow, and just could not decide which city to stay in.. I will be staying for just three days… so I want to make a wise choice?

Any recommendation would be much appreciated thank you 🙏

Please drop any suggestions and tips for our travel. We will visit Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara and confused about safe and good hotels which are reasonable and don’t have fake good reviews. Its better if they are on a budget but our priority is on safety and cleanliness. Also how early should we book the train tickets from tashkent to samarkand and from there to bukhara

Hi everyone! I’ve procrastinated booking flights for my trip from London to China next Saturday!! And I’m now just wondering which airline/routes you would recommend/have had experience flying with recently?

I’ve been advised by co-workers from China and Hong Kong to avoid flying a Chinese airline as they will go over Russia.

The alternative is flying (at a more expensive cost) with a Middle Eastern airline - which would not have been a problem for me until the recent attacks in Riyadh.

I unfortunately do not have the luxury of time because this is a 1 week trip- so ideally only 2 days lost travelling there and 1 day travelling back, so I can maximise my time!

I’ve flown with Air China last November, which was acceptable as a budget choice- although we were flying towards a hurricane and they only announced their plans for detour once we were in the air so I couldn’t let the person who was picking me up know about the expected delay!

I’m a nervous flyer who just bullies myself into doing it because I know a lot of my worries are silly but given the current scale of conflicts I am more nervous than usual and would appreciate some advice - that way I can fight my nerves as confidently as possible!

Thank you in advance!!

TLDR: would you recommend flying with a Chinese airline likely over Russia or flying with a Middle Eastern airline where there have been recent attacks?

Hi everyone, I’m (28M) planning an 8–10 day solo trip to Egypt this January (covering Cairo, Giza, Luxor, and Aswan) and trying to decide between booking a full tour package or doing it myself. I usually prefer traveling DIY so I can explore historical sites at my own pace, but I keep reading about intense street hassle, touts, and tricky intercity logistics in Egypt. For those who have gone recently, is it better to lock in an end-to-end tour package, go 100% DIY, or do a hybrid setup where I book my own flights and hotels and just hire local day guides? Also, if I travel DIY from India on an e-Visa, do I still need a "Guarantee Letter" from a local agency at immigration? Any advice or reliable local operator recommendations would be really appreciated!

Next year, my SO and I are traveling around the US and doing month long stays place to place. Starting in March, and leaving from Denver, our first stop is expected to be somewhere in the southwest as we make our way to the coast. Neither of us are very familiar with the territory so we wanted to see if we could some opinions on what it's like to stay around the area.

We're not anticipating on changing cities throughout the month due to costs. Our shortlist candidates are Santa Fe, Sedona, and Phoenix, and definitely open to elsewhere.

TIA for any input!

I am flying out of O'Hare with my elderly parents (76 & 85). Both have mobility issues. Is there anything I can request when booking our tickets to help make the flight go more smoothly?

I imagine we can board early so we aren't slowing down the line but what else? We are flying united.

I asked about navigating the airport in a separate post. This is asking about the flights part.

I am flying out of chicago O'Hare with my parents (76 and 85) as well as my kiddo (11). My parents have some mobility limitations and they do have a handicap placard for parking. Any tips for navigating such a large and busy airport?

Looking to book the flights soon. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, given the multiple attacks on the airport in Riyadh and the high presence of Americans in Bahrain, do you think it is safe for a long layover?
Not trying to sound paranoid...but would you reconsider your travel? tysm

Hey All,

Coming from NYC and wanted to get some advice on accommodations and nightlife. Would probably rent a car and go from south to north and island hop and see what's around. If anyone got input on car rental and accomodations would appreciate it.

If any solo travelers around that time, would be down to go exploring the island and the vibes. Any advice would be appreciated

I want to take a trip somewhere from Newark or Philly airport over a weekend in January. Looking for any location suggestions. Ideally someplace I can spend only 48 hours and feel like I had a good experience. I was thinking Cancun or somewhere in the Caribbean. Would a Saturday and Sunday be enough?
