Travel

Short summery of my experience:

• Tip tip tip tip tip
• Snorkel and dive Trips only 1 snorkel, eat fruit on Sandbank til next snorkel spot. All three stops are crowded asf.
• Even trying to avoid tours you end up in a Tour Trip with same as above (snorkel eat snorkel and then back)
• no beaches cause of low tide. High tide no visibility. You always require a friggin boat just to snorkel lol.
• expensive tours
• tiptiptiptiptip....
• feel locked up. Almost all hotels huge walls, security, ... Not comparable to SEA where you get a bike and drive around looking for the next beach, breakfast, dinner etc. .

Feels like america or too many americans came here teaching a flawed tip mentality. Most Services werent even tip worthy.

I know ppl are struggling but thanks I can carry my own luggage and save me a dollar tip.

Never again, worst Island I have been to. Koh Phi Phi is a dream against this.

In general this was my first and last time africa. Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Indonesia etc so much better.

Maybe I did it wrong. This whole Trip felt like a scam, especially mnembe Island. 1000 boats chasing poor dolphins I told him to turn around. 200 Dollar down the drain and no other snorkeling available duo to tide. Heck not even diving after 2 lol

One of the fun parts about traveling and speaking another language: sometimes my Spanish is really good, but the past few days people haven't been able to understand me and asked me to switch to English. Maybe I got lazy, maybe my mouth is moving weird, but it happens. It comes back eventually. I hope

edit: the other part about it is that it does feel embarrassing, because I'm just ordering a coffee and failed to do that. Eh, whatever.

This is from Denmark. I think UK and Ireland also have similar looking scenes with those long grasses, sandy beaches and rolling hills. I wonder, though if there's such place somewhere in Southern Europe because it's closer to me. All I've found around the Black Sea and the Mediterranean are more arid landscapes and the grasses aren't as long usually. Obviously I don't expect to get the same architecture, it's more about the grass, sandy beaches and small hills.

I hope this helps some people that are traveling. These are links to Google Maps lists I made of places in different cities I've been to that I thought were interesting. You can subscribe/follow the list to add it to yours. These lists aren't complete travel guides, just places I wanted to save or was told about, sorted by name. Some of them have a lot of places, others not so much. I left off lists that only had a few places. I hope someone may find them helpful one day!

In this beautifully written, vividly detailed memoir, a young woman chronicles her adventures traveling across the deserts of the American West in an orange van named Bertha and reflects on an unconventional approach to life.

For me it was in the north of Sardinia, and nothing has been close to that since. The water was so transparent I could see the sand perfectly; I even caught a shrimp with a sandwich box.

Hi...Considering to bring an old Mavic for a trip to Vietnam soon. But seems you might need to submit every planned flight route 2 weeks in advance? Is this for real? What's the situation on the ground?

I love traveling, and also enjoy planning for it. But I do often find that searching many different sites with basic filters becomes quite cumbersome. I had the idea of adding more advanced features to be able to better pinpoint what exactly the best option would be for each person specifically. It initially started with Flixbus having no "what is the cheapest connection somewhere in May" feature, like Google Flight does have. But I wanted to add more things. I have added that you can add how much it's worth for you to travel an hour less, or a transfer less, or not arrive/depart in the middle of the night. This will then be taken into account when sorting what is the best connection instead of the cheapest. It also already has a search for Flixbus on what the best connection is in a range of dates, and what the best connection is from a place to any place in the desired country. I want to add too that it takes hostel/hotel prices into account, so that you can say you want to go from Berlin to anywhere in Czechia, for 4 days, and it actually gives you the complete best route to a city with a cheap hostel too. I would love to add more things and am very curious about desires from other travelers for a tool like this, so what do you think and would you like to add?

it's Dubrovnik, Croatia

Thinking about going somewhere with my family this summer, perhaps to Alaska, Hawaii (Kauai), or somewhere Canada.

I would like to experience nice outdoor stuff and do fun activities while I'm there. Any ideas?
