I think we are finally ready to do this trip. We have 2 kids, 12 and 9. We have all explored Italy well enough that we don’t need to make a stop there. The kids go to the EU 2 times a year on average for the last several years and I think this longer stay will be an exciting adventure for them.
I am looking for some pointers from people who have done this before. We are on the fence of booking a home base in a central location like Switzerland or southern Germany and then traveling to other countries from there. Or to do a true backpack experience and hop from one to the other.
We are very spontaneous and will book hotels and flights last minute but I feel as though we would need some structure on a trip like this so we get all we can get out of it.
Booking a home base has its pros and cons. So does living out of a suitcase for 6 weeks.
I would like to put the kids in some camps along the way. We have done some in Italy and it worked well. Would like to try some in camps in other counties.
I would very much like some pointers. Thank you.

Hey y’all! So I (29M) had surgery about three weeks ago, and I’m doing fine now. My surgeon cleared me to travel, swim, soak in water, all that good stuff. I’m off work for the next two months, so I really want to get away and just leave LA for a bit and chill somewhere different.
I’ve been thinking about the Caribbean. For some context, I’ve been to a few islands before. My boyfriend (25M) though has never traveled internationally. He’s been to Hawaii and loved it, especially the food, but he’s not really a swimming in the beach kind of person. I’m not much of a swimmer either, but I love being near the ocean: waking up, sitting under a palapa, sipping a drink, watching the sunrise and sunset, waves in the background. That kind of vibe.
I’m basically still recovering, so I’m looking for something really relaxing. Not super active or busy. Just sun, quiet, and nice scenery.
A little background: I’ve traveled to over 50 countries, mostly in the Middle East and Africa. So while I’m not new to travel at all, the Caribbean isn’t somewhere I’ve explored as much. The last time I went was about two years ago, so planning a beach trip like this honestly feels a little rusty for me. I’m kind of re-diving into it, and realizing that planning a Caribbean trip is a whole different mindset.
Places I’ve been and liked: - Turks and Caicos: Loved it. White sand, clear water, super chill hotel-focused vacation. - Roatán: Also amazing. Beautiful beaches, great food, amazing snorkeling culture fun nightlife. - Puerto Rico: Amazing food, but it felt a bit too much like Miami with the crowd and social scene. - Bahamas: Not really my vibe. It felt very party-heavy and packed. But, full disclosure, I stayed in Nassau. - Colombia (Caribbean side): Cool to visit, but again, very catered to tourists.
We were thinking about Belize at first, but from what I’ve seen online, the beach scene didn’t seem as relaxing or picturesque as I expected. Where are the sands?? lol
Now we’re looking at Aruba. It seems promising with lots of hotel options along the strip, great and beautiful beaches, access to good food, and it looks pretty easy to get around. We’re planning to rent a car, but it also looks super walkable near Eagle and Palm Beach, which I like. I don’t like being stuck in a hotel the whole time, so having things nearby is a plus.
Just wondering if anyone here has thoughts on Aruba or other suggestions for Caribbean destinations that are chill, beautiful, and not super crowded, but still accessible enough for someone like my partner who’s never left the country before.
We’re planning to go in the next month or so. Appreciate any input!

Question for folks that have gotten the Japan Evisa, when you arrive at the airport do you just flash a screenshot of the PDF issued Visa or do you actually have to go to the website, login and then show it to the border control officer in Japan? Any insight would help!
Hey everyone,
I recently applied for a tourist e-visa for Vietnam and got it approved, with validity until April 28, 2025. However, I’d like to extend it until May 1, 2025.
Has anyone gone through the process of extending a tourist e-visa before? I’d appreciate any advice on the steps involved and whether an extension for just a few days is possible.
Or do I need to reapply for a new visa with a longer period?
Or a new visa from April 28-May 1st?
Thanks in advance!

Hi All!
I was wondering if you could share some unique activities that can only be done in Spain. In my research I have only found watching a flamenco dancing and bull fighting show. I would avoid the bull fighting for obvious reasons. So the only unique activity I've found thus far the flamenco dancing show.
Context: I am thinking of traveling to Spain in August but I am struggling to find enough unique activities to occupy a week of vacation there. I'm trying to find strong reasons to visit Spain, but I'm having a hard time doing so.
I'm not interested in site seeing. So I'm not interested in seeing the architecture, going to museums, etc... I would go to points of interest while I'm in Spain, but it's honestly not a core interest of mine.
I love trying new and unique foods and cuisines in other countries but I believe I won't have many options in Spain since I'm vegetarian. I'm aware there are some options like tapas, but I'm not sure if Spain's vegetarian tapas is a strong reason to visit. I also don't drink, so wine tasting isn't something I can do either.
I do enjoy doing generic activities like hiking, kayaking, etc... in general but when I'm visiting a new country I would want to do unique activities that are specific to that country instead. For example going to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, going to an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, etc... The main unique activities I found for Spain are seeing a flamenco dancing and bull fighting show. So it would be great to know if there are more unique activities to do that can only be done in Spain.
I really want to find more reasons to visit Spain since I hear so many great things about the country! So I'd be grateful to hear what unique activities people have done there. Thanks!
The following thing just happened to me with two separate flight searches:
So Expedia is refreshing the flight prices at a certain point during the booking process, but is not retaining that data, instead using older (and lower) flight prices. This feels deliberate, as though they are luring people in with low prices and then springing a price increase on them once they've gone partway through the process.
Worse, there's no accountability. I now don't have the exact wording, but it was something like "The price increased while you were booking." This is a lie. It increased before I even searched for the flight, but Expedia wasn't up-to-date.
IDK. I have been a pretty loyal Expedia user but this is shady as hell. Has anyone got an innocent explanation for this, or is this just how they operate now? I guess I'll have to just search individual airlines or use Google Flights.
Not sure this quite qualifies as a horror story, because on one hand we booked it through the airline and it was fine, but on the other hand this was a family emergency and Expedia created a flurry of frantic phone calls while we tried to sort out flight discrepancies that were directly caused by this.
So, from what I read it's not possible to enter Serbia via Kosovo because the border police want the entry serbian stamp on your passport. They don't recognize Kosovo as a country and so theoretically you already are in Serbia without a document which can explain how and why you are there....
But I'm Italian, and since we are allowed to go to Serbia just with our ID document (avoinding the stamp procedure), what if I show that to border police instaed of my passport? I guess it should work right?
So, I’ve been following the protests and really don’t want to get caught in the crossfire. I’m flying from Dubai to Toronto with Turkish Airlines and have a 22-hour layover in Istanbul. The initial plan was to visit the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, get some rest, and then catch my next flight—but now I’m not sure.
I’ve seen some very threatening posts on social media about tourists being targeted, primarily by the opposition supporters for supporting the Turkish economy.
I don’t want to be another “Is it safe to travel to Turkey?” person, but I’m just exploring my options—sitting in the airport terminal for 22 hours isn’t feasible, especially with family.
Any advice?

Hi there, at the end of july, me and my girlfriend will land in Barcelona, rent a car and be on the road heading to Malaga for a whole week. (We are meeting family in Malaga after that).
We are looking for recommandations on stuff to see/do during that week. We like day hikes, visiting cute and not too crowded towns, animals, kayaking/SUP, good food, breweries.
Only things we have on the list is hiking Sierra Nevada (still don't know exactly where) and visiting Granada, which seems like a no-brainer, even though it is a big city.
We haven't bought our tickets yet so we're not closed on the idea of just landing in Malaga and visit around there it if it turns out that there's more to do in this area
Thanks a lot! :)

After visiting Paris, I would like to see Etretat, Mont-Saint-Michel and Chambord Castle, without going back to Paris everyday, otherwise I will lose too much time. Going by car is the fastest option, but it seems to be expensive and driving in another country can be confusing. Is it viable to make an itinerary only by train in 3 days (Paris > Etretat > Mt St Michel > Chambord Castle > Paris)?
Hello I’m flying into São Paulo next month . I originally was just going to stay 2 days there 3-4 days in rio then fly to Uruguay . I feel like this is neglecting Brazil a little so i am thinking of traveling south by bus to Uruguay . Or maybe travel south to Porto Alegre fly to rio then fly to Montevideo . Is there anything worth seeing from Rio to Montevideo . Ive heard good about Florinopolis . But also im not a big beach person . So maybe traveling this part of brazil isnt worth it for my preferences Any advice welcomed thanks !
Hello everyone,
We’re traveling to Thailand in April and want to combine it with another destination that has a great nightlife scene.
I’ve visited Thailand 15 times and know Bangkok quite well. We’re considering a couple of places for a weekend trip: • Ho Chi Minh • Phnom Penh
Last year, we went to the Philippines and found it quite calm compared to Thailand. We visited Boracay, El Nido, and Manila (though it wasn’t the weekend).
Can you suggest any worthwhile places in the region that we can fly to?
We’re in our late 30s.
Thanks, everyone!
I’ve only flown 2 times my whole life (I’m 20) and I have never been on a flight for more than 2 hours. I have a 15 hour flight nonstop coming up in June and I am extremely nervous. Especially because I will be flying over the ocean for part of the flight at night time. I can’t sleep on planes, I’ve tried. I’m terrified.. please someone give me tips on how to get through this🥲
Hello!
I have a lot of anxiety about checking a bag and this is a hypothetical situation. I'm going on a flight in a couple days for a 2 day trip before heading back home. In the event my luggage is lost and found after I have already left to go back home (overseas), what would happen? Would they ship it overseas? I'm flying a budget airline (in Europe so they do not operate to the US), staying for 2 days, then taking a long haul back to the US.

I already submitted my Global Entry application (first time applying), but I forgot to include one country that I visited (in the Caribbeans).
How can I add this to my application- will it delay my approval?

I’ll be traveling to Belgium in late September, coming from Amsterdam by train. My original plan was to stay in Brussels for three nights and do day trips to Bruges and Ghent, but the more I look into it, the more Brussels seems underwhelming. I only have three days in Belgium, and I’m wondering if I should skip Brussels altogether and stay in either Bruges or Ghent instead.
Would it make sense to use Brussels as a home base and just take the quick train to Bruges/Ghent for a day? Curious to hear what y'all think.

Going to Portugal for an unrelated trip but now would like to make the most of it before having to return home. This would be my first time backpacking in Europe. I am unsure of how long to stay in each city and how many I should be able to realistically visit in my time frame. Any additional advice about booking/ how much planning to do in advance vs. while on the road is welcome.
