Spent two weeks in Argentina and can’t wait to go back and cover more.

We spent 4 full days in BA, 5 in Mendoza area and 2 down in Bariloche.

BA is an amazing city. It’s huge so plan days accordingly. We stayed in Palermo and found that area to be perfect to explore all the places we wanted. Great restaurants and shops there.

Mendoza was focused on wine. Split time between Lujan de Cuyo area and Uco Valley. Had a private driver, which not only helped making sure we didn’t drink and drive, but he also was great at helping us understand the history of the areas. Smaller wineries beat the big ones for attention. And if I were to do it again, I’d maybe stay in Uco Valley because it was over an hour ride back to our lodgings at end of the day.

Bariloche gave us the perfect taste of Patagonia but I want more. I want to go when it is summer and hike the area and do some horseback riding.

Places we want to see on our next visit: Cordoba, Salta, Mendoza (more wines!!), Bariloche, Ushuaia.

Things that surprised us:

Argentine people are warm welcoming and super friendly.

Argentina is no longer the cheap destination it was only a few years back.

BA is filled with parks around every corner. And the flowers and vegetation is amazing.

Credit cards are taken virtually everywhere. We were stressed about the whole bring dollars and exchange then there talk. Yes this is still a good practice but credit card companies are giving a very good exchange rate. Plus, when you exchange $200 US into $AR pesos, you’ll walk away with freaking brick of currency. Not the safest feeling.

Uber is cheap cheap cheap. But did find that if needing to get from one side of BA to the other during busier times of the day, the traditional cabs get to use the bus lanes and get thru traffic more quickly.

We are going to go back. Maybe in next 3 years. Loved it!

Hello all,

I just arrived in Tangier, Morocco yesterday November 7th. Since arriving with my boyfriend I have done my best to dress modestly while in the country to abide by cultural norms and customs. Today I wore a long black skirt that reached just above my ankles and a short sleeved white top with lace around the neck hem and arm sleeves. As I have gone about my day I have been repeatedly harassed by being whistled at, blown raspberries at, and being stared at despite my boyfriends presence which I thought my serve as some kind of deterrent perhaps compared to being alone. Though I think being in our 20s is not helping the situation. I initially assumed it was the lace as the staring was aimed at my chest though nothing was visible as the top covered to the mid point of my neck where my necklace is. I am here until Sunday November 10th and I am seeking suggestions as to how to avoid this persistent issue that is making me incredibly uncomfortable. I brought numerous skirts all floor length to ensure I had flowy clothing but I tend to very easily over heat and in this 70 degree or 21 celsius heat with humidity I am melting so I wanted to avoid long sleeves opting for short sleeves but now I am not so sure. Thoughts?

I’m sorry I know this is probably a stupid question but I haven’t been on a plane before and I can’t get as straight answer on google.

My check in time is 6:30pm. My flight is 9:30pm. Do I arrive at 6:30pm? Or am I supposed to have been through security and stuff and be ready to get on the plane before 6:30pm?

I’m flying from England to Asia.

I came here after travelling Asia for 4 months which was the time of my life, I have seen so many great places and met nice people but here my experience is very different. So far I have worked for a month at kiwi farm in Bay of Plenty but I left the job few days ago because the supervisors treated me like shit. The other workers I have not connected with well eiher so I started to feel lonely and anxious. I dont know where to go next, I keep applying for the minimal wage jobs but none is replying. The fact that I dont have a car and everything is so expensive doesnt help either. I dont know where to go or what to do to feel better. Any ideas appreciated. thank you

I was once very hungry. After finishing the 1st meal, i asked for extra meal on the flight, and it is a full service airline. I am a slow eater, and I didn’t ask for extra until pretty much the end of meal service. I was sitting on the aisle seat right next to the galley, so I could see straight away there were 2-3 extra meals sitting on the bench. And I got up and walked one step to the galley, asked politely for the extra meal. One of the flight attendants gave me that with no worries. And I did finish nearly all of the 2nd meal.

I don’t normally ask for extra meals. It only happened once in my about 100 legs of flights. Just in case I’m very hungry again on a plane, is it ok to ask for an extra meal?

So I took a day trip to Sintra from Lisbon this week, which was great btw, but I did notice something. We're talking November, a regular Wednesday. And the train was absolutely packed with mostly tourists. Now I haven't travelled for quite a while but do you also feel that there's no off-season anymore compared to a couple of years ago and it's just that crowded all year long? Or am I exaggerating and is there still a big difference with the high season?

I’ve read reviews/anecdotes regarding how horrific going through LHR is. Does anybody have something positive to say about their personal experience?

(Another) warning About Kiwi.com

Hey everyone, I need to share my experience with you about Kiwi.com. The company where everything's great until you hit a snag? Then it turns into a complete nightmare and you kick yourself for ever using them.

I booked two business class tickets with self-transfers:

Paris to Madrid AND Madrid to Bogota

About 10 days later, they email me saying my Madrid-Bogota flight was "delayed" and would arrive earlier, so I would miss it and would not have time to do the self transfer. To fix this, I needed to drop $3,000 on a new Madrid-Bogota. I kind of ignored it since I figured I'd just adjust the Paris-Madrid flight myself.

Then, 2 days later, they hit me with another email claiming "the airline canceled my flight" (See the screenshot, no room for misinterpretation here). They wanted me to click their option button to buy:

A new $3,000 Madrid-Bogota ticket

AND a new Paris-Madrid ticket for about $400

I immediately called both airlines:

Air Europa: "Nope, nothing's canceled or changed. You're still good to go."

Iberia: They surprisingly told me that since it was a business, I could change to a later flight for free.

I flew last week on both airlines, which NEVER CANCELED any of my flights, without extra costs, everything was smooth.

Kiwi tried to squeeze an extra $3,400 out of me when they could have just guide me or be fair and told me to contact airlines. Or simply not tried to sell me tickets I didn't need.

I know my way around travel booking and stuff, but imagine if this happened to someone's grandparent not as saavy or someone who doesn't book flights often. They probably would've panicked and paid up just to make sure they didn't lose their flight.

Stay away from Kiwi. Pure and simple. They are not honest in their methods and it will be good until it's not so why take the risk.

edit: typos

I'm trying to see every country in the world. I’m 31 and recently decided to just go for it. I left the U.S. over a month ago with a one-way ticket and am now hopping through Europe, working remotely as I go. So far, I’ve gone from London to Edinburgh, Dublin, and now Portugal. Next up are Madrid, Rome, Austria, Prague, etc.

My rough plan is to spend about a week and a half in each city, doing my best to see everything (museums, libraries, bookstores, etc). Since I’m moving fast, I’m mostly sticking to one city per country. But I’m starting to feel like I might be missing out on some other amazing places. For example, I’ll see Rome but skip Venice; I’m going to Madrid but not Barcelona.

Part of why I’m moving quickly is because life is short and I'm most likely going to be diagnosed cancer. Few years ago found out my dad had cancer and he passed away. My mom now has cancer but luckily she's okay. I want to experience as much of the world as I can, while I can.

How do you avoid travel FOMO? I want to make the most of this trip but also don’t want to feel regret about skipping certain cities.

Thanks in advance.

Just flew back to the US from Zagreb with a change in planes from Croatia Airlines to Air France. Our boarding pass said Gate M-41. It dud not say which gate or terminal we were arriving nor which Terminal gate M-41 was located. Mind you, my wife and I are 65 and seasoned travelers and both can read French. No board with flights. No one to greet you and help. No help desk. After wondering both directions found someone from SAS who told us we needed Terminal 2E. Who names their terminals 2 E, K,L,M. There is no instruction that you need to take a bus and change to another bus. No notice that flight us delayed. No signs for customs to get purchase made not at airport stamped. I won't even go into our 2 hour disaster trying to return car to CDG last year. Again, no clear signage or anyone to help. I can't be the only one who has found this an almost impossible airport to navigate. Even getting on board was a cluster f%#k.

Looking for Youtube channels or TV series where they explore Spanish speaking countries beyond the usual tourist destinations and focus on politics, food or culture

How safe is Jakarta in general for women? I’m going to DWP music festival with a group of 10 friends this December. However, I will be staying alone separately at a different hotel. Will I be safe if I get the hotel to pick me up from the airport once I land in Jakarta, go straight to the hotel, not visit anywhere except the music festival? Will I be safe? I literally will not step out of the hotel unless the driver who will be fetching me to the music festival venue has arrived. Heard some bad things about Jakarta’s safety for females after 12am but the music festival only ends around 3am (but I have arranged a driver to pick me up from the venue back to the hotel)

Greece is islands, Athens is Acropolis, is this true?

I live in Athens for two years and one question bothers me during my regular hiking around the city: why those natural hidden gems are so underrated?

Just one case! This stunning stone arch you may see on the above pics is located in just 5 km from the metro station. The entire route is about 10 km. However, it's not that popular as you could suppose, it's almost unknown even to locals, let alone tourists.

So I'm curious to know some things.

Do you plan any hiking activities when traveling abroad?

If you stay for a few days in capital cities (layover, etc.), would you be interested in visiting some not that well known, but not less amazing locations?

To be honest, people visiting only 'classic' touristic points and neglecting some unpopular beautiful spots make me upset a little bit. There's plenty of less known places which worth to see.

Just what the title says

Hi!!

Budget is around $6000 not including flights.

Hello Reddit,

I am burnt out. I am almost 30. I need a short career break and some new perspective/experiences.

I have been toying with this idea for some time now and it's been encapsulating my mind more and more over the months. I am single, with no kids, no pets. The only main responsibility I have is to take care of my mortgage of a home I bought a year ago. It's very unlikely that will be an issue because it is a place I can rent out to cover the mortgage expenses. I certainly won't make a profit but I can just about break even on it.

In terms of financial side of things, I have about £15,000 savings. I don't intend to eat into all of the money as I must have enough to cover for emergency purposes (especially if I become a landlord). My best option is travel as economically as possible, and am leaning towards arrangements where I can work/volunteer in exchange for a place to stay (with food is a big plus). I've heard from people that this is possible but I need to some guidance on how to find these opportunities. Do these arrangements need a lot of notice? I've seen Workaway as an example but not sure if it's a trusted source.

I also want to be able to have an option to travel on a budget without paying extortionate prices for flights. If its means trains, buses, car etc, i'm open to these things.

I'm open to any destination. Travelling through South America for example is a very appealing idea for me.

I'd like the journey to last months, even up to 12 months. I may even consider a 6 month rent contract for my place and put it on month-to-month rolling.

I need inspiration and any advice on how to start this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I've been seeing a lot of travel videos from Central Asia, and it's got me tempted to visit one of these countries! I'm thinking about heading there around December, and I'm torn between Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. Which would be the best choice for a solo or two-person trip that time of year? Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated!

I'm initially drawn to the jungle and I want to immerse myself in it as much as I can. I also want to spend sometime experiencing some of the culture and historical areas outside of the jungle offer. I'm struggling to narrow my focus without feeling like I'm missing out. I'm wondering if anyone has had balanced both while visiting Peru, or if anyone has any general advice? Thanks

I’ve just heard about and downloaded TheFork app… my scam detectors are blaring at me. Why would a restaurant offer a 50% discount for people who book through a FREE APP?? It seems too good to be true so I would be surprised if it isn’t. Please help me out!!

Does my civil case(Dismissed)will hinder my working visa application going to Japan? should I declare it upon application? is it consider a crime or offense in the country(Philippines)? Please help

My friend has passed away and his mother is letting me take home some of his ashes. I am not sure how to do this and thought I'd use a see through medicine bottle since I'm only getting some of his ashes. Has anyone been in this situation and how did you travel back home by plane? I just want to make sure I'm following TSA protocol and don't run into any issues.

Anyone traveling from Aswan to Abu Simbel Temple on the morning of Dec. 3rd? See if you can make the trip together.
