Hey fellow wanderlusters! Just got back from a two-month adventure exploring the diverse landscapes and vibrant cultures of Europe. From bustling cities to serene countryside, the experience was nothing short of amazing. One thing that stood out was how reliable my travel SIM from Sims Direct was throughout the trip. Whether I was navigating the streets of Paris or hiking in remote parts of the Alps, I always had great coverage. It made sharing moments and staying connected super easy, enhancing my travel experience. Highly recommend for anyone planning their next adventure!

I will be in Copenhagen this July on a study abroad program. Afterwards, I’ll be on my own from August 3rd - 20th. On the 20th I do have to fly back to the U.S. from Denmark.

Post-Copenhagen my budget is a few thousand USD, hopefully more. I’m interested in places where locals aren’t rude to foreigners. I typically make friends with introverts who are interesting (intellectual, kind, and funny) conversationalists.

My favorite destinations in Europe so far have been The Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. My least favorite spots have been France and Italy. I’ve also been to Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Greece, (Istanbul) Turkey, and the countryside of Austria. Not part of Europe, but I adore Oaxaca, Mexico. I’m open to further questions :)

While Queenstown New Zealand has become a tourist trap, there are many nice things to see near here. The Lake Wakatipu Area has some of the nicest mountain scenery as well as the most exciting hike in NZ. Lake Wakatipu and its outlet river have gorgeous blue and turquoise colours thanks to “glacial flour”!

My family and my extended family (we're 20 people in total, living in India, Dubai and USA) are planning a vacation towards the end of the year. At first, we decided to go to Bali but that isn't working out bc the flight tickets from Dubai to Bali for 3 people is wayyyy too costly. Can you guys suggest a country where we all can go, preferably without facing visa issues (for eg. you don't need a visa from India to go to Bali which was quite convenient) and a place that is cheaper to travel to? Thank you! TLDR; my family from Dubai, India and USA are planning to go on a vacation. Need suggestions for countries where it's easier to get visa/don't require visa and are cheaper to travel to.

Is may a good time to visit Thailand I need some useful information please!!

I live in North Carolina in the US. I’m F(23) for reference. Until recently I had only been out of the country to like the Caribbean and Canada where my grandma lives. I just went on a 2 week vacation with my family. We went to Iceland, Paris, and London. Iceland and London were probably my favorite places.

I just got back 3 days ago and I’m not sure if there is a word for feeling homesick for a place I’ve never lived. I feel like I got my heart broken and I feel homesick. I desperately want to go back to all 3 places and just live there. Walking everywhere, exploring, experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, learning about a life outside of mine: it was blissful. I feel almost miserable being back home, I feel as if I’m not really home. Even though I’ve lived in NC basically my whole life and everyone and everything I know is here. I just feel after that 2 week trip, I’m not meant to be here. I feel like I’m meant to be somewhere else, like Europe or at least a beautiful state like Oregon. It’s a weird feeling to me, feeling heartbroken over leaving a place I’ve never lived. Now I’m conflicted about what I’m meant to do and where I’m meant to be.

Anyone else feel like this ever?

Hello!

I'm going on a trip for a week this December, and I haven't travelled much so I'm looking for recommendations of places you've enjoyed or seem interesting.

I'm used to bustling city life, so trips purely for nature, sight-seeing, drinking, or relaxation on the beach etc. don't really interest me. I was thinking of London, to see the museums and theatres, but I think a more unique destination might be a better use of this opportunity.

I really appreciate suggestions!

The North of Ireland offers some of the best sights including the view-encrusted Giant’s Causeway Trail, the walled city of Derry, castle ruins, dramatic cliffs, and golden sand beaches. But what if you have less than two weeks? How do you make the most of your time?
