I am visiting in mid-April and I am unsure of how the weather will be? Do I need to pack a parka? Should I expect snow?
Any additional tips for a solo female traveler?

I've taken the opportunity to spontaneously book a trip to the Galapagos. Not my first trip abroad, but my first time south of the US border, heading to the Galapagos next month.
Although I'll be on a boat with English speakers, I'm going to be headed down there on my own. I can normally hold myself together during culture shocks and language barriers, but South America feels next level new in terms of culture and language. I'm doing my best to cram learn survival Spanish, but what else can I do to not feel overwhelmed/dread?
I know I'm being irrational since I'm not even going to be backpacking or otherwise immersed in Ecuador proper and I'm grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I can see myself not sleeping on the way down there.

Hey I wanted to got to LA in the summer, with a friend. The flight is from Germany and atm we got a good ticket for 610€. We also found a 2* hotel, which would be 1000€ for 13 nights, but it lays in Lawndale which is kinda far from central LA.
So since I don’t know how good the metro system is there, would it be still enjoyable since none of us got a license so bus/train would be the only affordable option. And how much would it cost? Do you have something like monthly/weekly tickets which save money.
Thanks in advance

I'm working on piecing together a ~2 month trip abroad this summer that includes about a week and a half in Uzbekistan. I'm starting in Tashkent but am hoping to do a trip to the Aral Sea. As a historian of the region, I'm very interested in experiencing it firsthand.
Two questions come to mind that I'm hoping to get some guidance on here
Thanks in advance!

What is a good airfare roundtrip from Us to Europe?
We are planning a trip over Christmas and New Years and want the best deal, but I’m not even sure what is a good deal. I know you can get $400 roundtrip at random dates throughout the year, but I’m guessing not the case for holidays.
Any advice or experience is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a new hard shell carry on luggage that would work for international flights and I'm between the Beis and Monos. My biggest concern between the two is the size.
The Beis 21-inch Carry-On luggage external size on their site states that it is: W 40cm H 58cm D 25cm / W 15.78in H 22.8in D 9.8in
The Monos states spec size on their site states that it is: H22" × W14" × D9" / H55.9cm x W35.6cm x D22.8cm
It's my understanding that the general recognized industry standard for carry on luggage is 22" × 14" × 9" (in line with the Monos).
However, I do fly Air Canada very often and their sizing is much different being: H21.5in x W15.5in xD9in / H55cm x W40cm x D23cm.
I've rarely seen Air Canada care about the 0.5 inch difference in height but they do care about the other measurements.
So I would go with the Monos but since Air Canada does give a more room for the width, I do wish the Monos was slightly bigger (given that I am an over-packer).
What would you recommend? I am also interested to hear if there's any other brands that have the same sleek style & quality in the same or lower price point. The brand Away is out of my price point. The convenience of both the Monos and Beis brands is what lurs me to them, compared to your standard luggage brands.

Anyone know what kind and the best brand of electrical adapter is for traveling to Amsterdam? Coming from America and I’m unsure of the “conversion(?)” of my electronics. Is it the same as if I were to be traveling to the UK? I’m new to travel, be gentle… lol

Looking at a VA A330. There is a choice of Economy Preferred, no extra leg room but it is closer up front with a window and guarantees my wife and I sit together for $160 extra, or Economy Classic which is at the rear of the plane, no window, and would still let us sit together for no extra cost. Which seems the better option? Is it worth the extra money?

Hi,
I’m referring to sufferers of barotrauma to be more specific
Would this just be noise canceling headphones?? Anyone have experience with AirPod Pros helping them???
I love listening to music/media when flying, but my painful airplane ear makes me always pick between comfort and media pleasure when taking off and landing.
I’d love to have a product with both and I can just keep them in the whole flight which would be even more ideal for remedying this ailment.
Any product advice??

Once you've completed your itinerary, how do you research the inside tips from locals, hidden gems, interesting activities that involve you with local people?

So yeah this summer I'm planning my first ever solo trip and I'm planning on going big. I'm wanting to visit Norway first then returning home, before doing Canada and Japan over a 2.5 week period. Like I say, I've got no experience of doing this ever so I'm a bit lost with everything other than just book flights, book hotels, pack a bag and go.
The first thing that came to mind is visas, I have looked but can't find a definitive yes or no answer to if I do or do not need visas for any of these countries or the US (which I will likely need to transfer in to get from Montreal to Tokyo.)
Travel insurance is also a mystery to me especially with me going to multiple countries in one trip.
I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff so if anything comes to mind I should be aware of please let me know. Thanks!
