Hi all! I am going backpacking for 1 month to Indonesia in September and I prepared an Itinerary with all the things I would like to visit there.

Hey everybody, I’m on my first extended solo trip the SE Asia and wanted to get people’s thoughts on how they handle friends “visiting” them. I’m from the US so if you don’t quit your job or are a digital nomad it’s tough to have meaningful travel experiences much less come halfway around the world for them I understand this is a vacation for them and possibly the only one they’ll get this year and that it’s not cheap to fly this far but I feel overly stressed by their desire for fast paced travel always insisting on flights, party first mentality and the desire to live so lavishly from hotel ..read more

I woke up early today in order to go to the airport to go on my first ever solo trip internationally. It was fine for a bit, I even said goodbye to my dad and everything was okay but suddenly I felt dizzy, I was sweating and close to throwing up. I immediately thought about canceling because in the last few days I had negative feelings about it anyway. Now I feel really guilty about it because I just wasted money from one of my first paychecks for simply nothing and bad thoughts. Has anyone ever dealt with a similar issue and how did you cope with it? submitted by /u/AlexDinooo [visit reddit ..read more

Hello! I am partially looking for advice, but also interested in others stories who have taken extended time off abroad (1-2 years) for travel and returned to their field or the workforce. I am in the process of updating my resume and talking to recruiters, but I am incredibly hesitant on their reactions to my extended travel sabbatical. It has not all been "vacation", as my breakdown has been: 6 mo. travel 1 year working holiday in Australia 6 mo. teaching science in Thailand So I guess my question is two parts On my resume, do I leave all of this off completely and leave my last job as ..read more

Hello! I know there are already a shit ton of posts about Egypt, but I thought I'd write one up as well in case I'm helpful to anyone. Also, this is a way for me to vent a little lol. Overall, Egypt is manageable (from a male perspective, but tips may be helpful anyone) but anyway, here we go. First off, I'm 5' 7", skinny, Asian, and look very non-threatening. I mention this because as you know about those touts... they were probably drooling and creaming their pants when they saw me wandering alone, thinking they can get a ton of money from me. But the more days I spent there, the more desen ..read more

So i'm planning my first solo trip as as of now my plan is to spend 3 days in Lisbon [May 24-26th (one of those being a day trip to Sintra)], then flying to Madrid (May 27th) and will spend the rest of the 27th and all day 28th there, and then will fly home the 29th. While my Lisbon plans are pretty concrete, i'm still deciding if I should bother going to Madrid just for the 1.5 days. For Madrid i’d like to see the Palacio Real, La Latina, Plaza Mayor, and Retiro Park along with just taking in the enviornment overall and letting my feet wonder where I see interest. Is seeing all this feasible ..read more

Hi everyone! I’m leaving for a 2 month solo trip through Europe (France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands) in a few days. It will be my first time staying in hostels and I am super excited! Kind of a weird situation but I’m a content creator and I have a few videos I’ll have to film for brands while I’m on the trip that will require me to sit at my laptop in a quiet space and film ads (no more than an hour at a time). I could potentially film in the dorm in the middle of the day when my roommates aren’t in the room but it’s obviously not guaranteed that the room would ever be empty and I d ..read more
