 | Finally made it to Budapest. For some apparent reason, for years I had it in my head that Budapest couldn't be as great as everybody said it was. But after visiting Prague, Tromsø and Stockholm, I wanted a city to contrast the previous three cities. Budapest was that contrast. A beautifully lived in city with so much personality it doesn't know what side it wants to show you. The grandiose of statues of great Hungarian leaders of the past mixed with huge lions protecting palaces, followed by the unbelievable accomplishments in architecture of buildings like Parliament. This was a city so full of life and history you could spend a lifetime there and not see everything. The city is a photography cheat sheet, these are only a handful of the shots that I managed to get from the city. I hope you all make it out to this city at least once in your lives.

I am planning to visit Panama City for my 29th birthday the first weekend of August and I am thinking of a Wednesday-Monday situation. My intention is to sit on a beach all weekend, have drinks and relax. I would like to do outdoor activities, like snorkeling, hiking, being on a boat, etc. After reading Panama City has no swimmable beaches, I came across Taboga Island.
There are so many mixed reviews, and most people only go for a day trip. Would this be suitable for a long weekend or are there any other places that might fit my needs better? Thank you!

I have a really great opportunity to join a friend for one part of a long term cruise. The limiting factor is time- I work in healthcare and have about 8 work days I can be away. I'll be travelling from the Eastern US. Im not as worried about cost both with flights/food. I do think I will make it to both Amsterdam and to Thailand at some point, so while this doesn't feel "once in a lifetime" it does feel really unique.
Option 1: Amsterdam to Porto
Pros: shorter travel time, easier/less jet lag, comfort traveling to/from solo, always wanted to visit Amsterdam, love porto
Cons: I've been to Porto twice, europe 4 times, this feels like not taking full advantage of a unique opportunity
Option 2: Hong Kong to Bangkok
Pros: I've never been to Asia and Thailand has always been on my list, very novel food, nature, culture
Cons: significantly more travel time, less confident as female solo traveler, high likelihood of jet lag (i would need to return to work within 2 days of returning), ends right at Christmas (not the hugest of deals but I do enjoy family time during the holidays)
I think I know what most of you would say, as this is a travel sub, but ive gotten some really good info and advice on here in a balanced insightful way and im feeling a bit stuck. Thanks in advance for any insight!
