The world is full of hidden gems, and some of the most fascinating are untouched remote islands that remain largely uninfluenced by humans. These pristine locations are a haven for wildlife and a reminder of nature's raw beauty.

North Sentinel Island, India

North Sentinel Island (India): Known for its indigenous Sentinelese people, this island is completely off-limits to outsiders, preserving its untouched state.

Bouvet Island, Norway

Bouvet Island (Norway): Often called the most remote island in the world, it’s a desolate, icy expanse in the South Atlantic, rarely visited by anyone.

Pitcairn Islands, Pacific Ocean

Pitcairn Islands (Pacific Ocean): Home to only a handful of residents, these islands remain largely undeveloped and are a perfect example of isolation.

Tristan da Cunha, South Atlantic Ocean

Tristan da Cunha (South Atlantic Ocean): With its rugged landscape and small population, it’s one of the most isolated places on Earth.

These islands remind us that there are still places on Earth left to explore or protect.

It’s full of jaw-dropping sights that make you marvel at the planet’s unique creations.

Sometimes, the best adventures are the ones where you let nature take the lead.

Hey fellow travelers,

My partner and I are excited to share that we're planning our honeymoon trip to Thailand from February 12th to 25th, 2025 (13 nights). We have a budget of $2500 USD specifically for hotel stays and would love some suggestions to help us find the perfect accommodations.

Our itinerary includes:

1. Bangkok (5 nights)
2. Koh Samui (4 nights)
3. Phuket (4 nights)

This trip is especially exciting because it will be my wife's first time traveling out of the country! We're looking for a mix of romantic experiences, adventure, and relaxation.

We’re open to all your recommendations on accommodations to make our honeymoon unforgettable. Your expert advice and experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers.

Hi all,

My partner and I are planning a 14-day trip (excluding flight days) to Paris from the middle to the end of February. We’re currently debating how to structure our trip and would love some advice.

We’re torn between: 1. Spending the entire two weeks in France (with Paris as the main hub and potentially visiting other regions). 2. Spending one week in Paris and one week in another nearby country.

Some key considerations: • Weather: We know February can be cold and potentially rainy, so we’d like to choose destinations that are still enjoyable during this time of year. • Interests: We love walking tours, sightseeing, exploring local culture, and eating delicious local food. • Nature: While city experiences are a big focus, we also appreciate opportunities to see unique and beautiful natural landscapes.

If we stay in France, we’re considering destinations veering into the south of France. If we venture into another country, options like Spain or Italy have come to mind, but we’re open to suggestions — somewhere affordable and easy to travel to from Paris and enjoyable that time of year.

We’d love to hear your recommendations: • If you were traveling in February, would you stay in France or explore another country? • What are some must-visit places in France (or nearby countries) for a February trip? • Any tips for making the most of our time given the weather?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

My friend and I are trying to plan a trip to either just Ireland or potentially Ireland and Scotland. I imagine if we go to both countries we’d like to spend an equal amount of time in both. We’re hoping to go for two weeks. Plan is to rent a car so we can travel around. We want a healthy mix of seeing different places and fun activities without getting overwhelmed, exhausted, or spending too much time on the road. Would love any itinerary suggestions, places to stay, transportation tips. Trying to keep costs low but we’ve come to terms with the fact that we’re too old for the hostel life 😆. We both have travel rewards so I imagine we’ll wanna use those as much as possible.

Hey everyone!

I’m planning some upcoming trips to a variety of countries and want to make sure I stay healthy on the go. I’m curious—what kind of health supplements do you take with you when you travel?

Also, how do you carry them? Do you use pill organizers, small containers, or just bring the full bottles? I’m trying to figure out the most convenient and space-efficient way to pack everything.

For context, I’m particularly interested in supplements for:

• Immunity
• Stress or jet lag
• Digestive health
• General wellness

I’d love to hear your recommendations or any tips you have! Thanks in advance 😊

lifetime adventure.

What's going on? My name is Alec. I am a 39 year old straight professional who is tired, burnt out on corporate america and ready to take some of my savings and just figure it out...and take on something new. I have a very nice and well maintained 5 year old BMW X3M, with low mileage (55k certified) ready for the adventure and the open road ahead, and a dream to figure things out while soaking up the best this world has to offer. I have been a successful entreprenuer.

The Plan:

• Budget: Let’s each throw in $3-5K MIN (proof of funds required) to cover the essentials—gas, food, fun, and spontaneity. Airbnbs, Hotels, Etc. I have some friends we could meet up with and maybe visa versa. Obviously we will use my car and ill pay for insurance.
• The Vibe: I’m pretty chill, 420-friendly, and all about good conversations, good music, and great memories, a drink here or there. Just figure I'll settle when I find the right town/city/state.

About You:

• Open-minded, adventurous, and easy-going.
• Willing to undergo a background check and provide a resume/proof of funds or applicable information, I mean I am throwing my car as the vehicle, lol so let’s make sure we’re a good match, you will be driving too ;P
• Ready to plan and discuss this epic journey together.

Let’s map out the adventure of a lifetime—who knows where the road will take us? If this sounds like your vibe, DM me with a little about yourself, and let’s see if we’re ready to hit the road together!

TL;DR: Down-to-earth dude, BMW X3, $5000-10k liquid, background check required. Ready to adventure, figure life out, and make some unforgettable memories.

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in the personal growth aspects of solo travel. For those who have traveled alone, what specific lessons or insights have you gained from your experiences? I’d love to hear about the challenges you faced and how they shaped your journey.

Looking forward to your stories!

Is early December off-season and will EgyptAir flights be delayed?

Next fall, my wife and I will be travelling to Europe for the first time. We are definitely going to Munich and Rome, not necessarily in the order, for five nights each. We want to make this trip over two weeks long, and need a third option. We’ve got a few on the table, and am looking for more suggestions. We are into history, good food, and the outdoors. Most importantly, we’re looking for a cheaper destination than Rome and Munich, as well as somewhere that will be different than those two cities. We aren’t against flying to a third city, or taking the train.

Hello everyone!

On my website, atlas-guide.com, I provide information about every country and what you need to know if you plan to travel there. Currently, I cover five categories: ID and Passport requirements, Toll and Vignette information, Weather, Currency, and Cheapest Flights. I’ll be adding more categories over time, focusing on the most useful details first.

What do you think would be the most helpful information to include next? I’d love to hear your suggestions!

Just curious.

Hello. Because of a big episode(I have bipolar, Anxiety and OCD) I had to come home. I was in Canada, really far away from home. I was trully enjoying it but I lost myself to nights out, poor sleep, alcohol and drugs. I had this expectations of arriving home and be with my family and recover. But for my surprise I realised why I made the decision to go abroad. I feel like Im death inside. I love my parents and my brother. But they have jobs of course, but it's job-home home-job 9-5. Where I was life was full of life, everybody enjoying life to the fullest, people with my age or older, doesn't matter. Even the job was fun. Here, it feels like is no more home for me. What trully makes me happy is to travel. Work in diferent countries. I don't want to be here. Now I want to go to another country, 2h by plane from home. I have friends there and they are enjoying it. My therapist said to work here first and then make a decision. But Im not seeing me staying here for more than 1 month. I've been here for a week and Im depressed no matter what I do. In the other hand my psychiatrist told me to wait at least 3 weeks for the medication to start working and I agree. I don't like home no more. Its ok to visit and BE with my family. But its to hard. They have also mental health problems. Its to much for me. I like to be around of people with the same ideals of me. Don't get me wrong. I like my country, but its not for me. What do you think?

Hey guys,

I built a web based collaborative itinerary planner for me and my wife to plan our adventures. So the idea is we can have everything related to a particular trip (tickets, documents, bookings, etc.) all in one location. I also am trying to get people to share their trip plans as a community (so others can quickly fork a particular itinerary they find interesting).

Can you give me some feedback about what feature you would want in such an app? Here is the current version: https://itineraries.io

Thank you !

Hello everyone! I’m backpacking south of France, Italy, Munich, Prague, and Vienna later this month. I had a few questions for all you experienced backpackers!

Social: As a first time solo backpacker, I was wondering about meeting other backpackers and the social scene. I know hostels have event but they’re usually a miss than a hit. Anyone have tips? What should I expect/my mentality be going into this? I’ve always wanted to get to know with other people and idk if there are social circles for that.

Transit: How do you get around? Do I bring cash? Is there an app? Pay in person? i.e. Going to Nice, France and wanted to travel to sites a few hours away. Same with Milan and other places.

Weather: I realized the weather forecast is pretty rainy and colder. Clothing recs?

Hey all, I've been exploring routes on moving out of state. Currently I'm just saving a bit of cash to be able tk use for rent and food wherever I land. By the end of the year I'm going to pick a place a go. I've already put in job applications and such and I'm waiting on Steamboat and AmeriCorps to get back to me.

Another route I may take: I'd also be interested in finding a travel buddy, or if anyone has a cheap room for rent in a mountain area with jobs available that would be awesome.

It you are looking for a roommate and already have a place.

I'm 22 year old guy from LA. I wanna get out rhe south and go see some stuff while I can. I have lots of hobbies bc I'm adhd and I'm really open to new experiences (not of the s*xual variety so plz no)

If this sounds interested or you'd like to travel/plan a landing location/meetup message me I'd be happy to get to know you outside of reddit. 🤣

Hey fellow travelers! 🌍

I’ve been lucky enough to visit some amazing places and capture scenic moments from my trips. I recently started sharing these snapshots on Instagram, and I’d love for anyone interested to join me there. It’s just a collection of random scenic photos, no pressure—just sharing my experiences and maybe giving others some travel inspiration. Feel free to follow along if you’d like to see where I’ve been, and I’d love to see where you all are going too!

Safe travels, everyone!

I'm looking to plan a week-to-10 day trip in the winter, and I'm eyeing the Caribbean. I definitely want warm, and probably fairly laid back, beach vibes, but I am not a resort guy at all. I'd like to go somewhere that I can do on more of a backpacker vibe and have a rich cultural experience while also getting some beach time in. While I'll have some nice meals and such, I'm looking for a more humble, rather than luxury, experience.

I've always been interested in Jamaica. While I'd most likely fly in and out of Montego, and would spend a couple of days there, I feel like I could get a bit off the tourist trail by spending time in Kingston and then maybe get to a more remote part of the island like somewhere in Surrey County. I figure with ~10 days I can have plenty of time to relax on the beach for a few days and also get into some adventure.

Cuba also made my radar. I think Cuba would be amazing, and I definitely want to go some day. It seems like it's a bit of a hassle to get there though right now as an American. Maybe in a few years things will be different. If anyone has any insight on traveling to Cuba as an American, please share!

I'm also open to any other island people recommend. Furthermore, I could potentially take a full two weeks and go all the way to South America. I've never been anywhere south of the US, so I'm wide open as far as the possibilities. I speak conversational Spanish and would love an opportunity to practice it, but that's not a necessity.
