Travel
There is a vastness in this world I’ve longed to explore—where the sky meets the earth, and the peaks kiss the clouds. My path stretches across mountains and valleys, from the lush rainforests of Washington to the glacial wilderness of Alaska, through the majestic Rockies and the sacred lands of Alberta. I will follow this calling, as if guided by the wind, driven by the need to roam, to see, to breathe in the wonder of the world in its most untouched state. Each place I visit will not merely be a destination, but a moment of transformation, where the land becomes a part of my journey. Wyoming to Montana My journey begins in Wyoming, a land as rugged as my spirit. I will ascend the peaks and roam the open plains, a perfect place to test the endurance of my wings. From there, I will glide north into Montana, its vast wilderness offering sanctuary in its endless skies and untamed forests. The air will be crisp, the mountains standing proud—my first moments of freedom. Washington and Oregon Heading west, I will find myself immersed in the rainforests of Washington, a place where nature thrives in perfect harmony. The towering evergreens will remind me of my own growth, reaching ever upward. Oregon’s coastal beauty will be next, where I can fly over the Pacific, feel the salt in the air, and lose myself in the rhythm of the waves. The Call of British Columbia and Alberta Crossing into Canada, British Columbia will welcome me with its mystical rainforests and towering peaks. Here, I’ll land in the silence of the wilderness, where even the air feels ancient. In Alberta, the Rocky Mountains will test my strength, offering me a place to sleep among the clouds, resting on peaks that few have touched. The Travel Suit For this journey, I will need more than just wings—a suit that is engineered for absolute efficiency. This suit will act like a transparent second skin, nearly invisible, revealing the underclothes beneath. It will hug my form, flexible yet durable, providing me with full mobility while remaining as discreet as the air itself. Despite its appearance, the suit will be far from fragile. It will be bulletproof, explosion-proof, and capable of withstanding the harshest conditions. Whether I’m flying through freezing winds or blazing sunlight, it will regulate the temperature, keeping me at the perfect balance no matter where I go. By being almost entirely invisible, the suit blends seamlessly into any environment—ensuring that it is barely distinguishable, except for my clothing beneath. It’s more than a protective layer; it’s the ultimate tool for moving efficiently through both the skies and the landscape below. The Capsule of Solitude For my moments of rest, I envision a capsule—a sanctuary that travels with me wherever I go. This capsule, like something out of a dream, will be compact, yet when deployed, it will expand into a home on any peak or valley I choose. The walls will be invisible but as strong as a forcefield, keeping me safe from the outside world. The temperature inside will always be perfect, a place of comfort no matter how wild the weather becomes. Inside, everything I need will be provided—food, water, and a bathroom, all powered by magic and technology that respond to my presence. Light will turn on only when I need it, preserving the purity of the night sky so I can sleep under the stars. This capsule will allow me to live on the highest peaks, above the clouds, where the world is quiet, and the stars feel close enough to touch. The Endless Journey From Wyoming to Montana, across the Pacific Northwest and into Canada, my travels will take me to some of the most breathtaking places on earth—places where the land is still wild, where mountains stand tall and rivers run free. I will sleep on high peaks, watching the sun set over distant horizons, and wake to the sound of nothing but the wind. And when I am ready, I will continue my journey—to Alaska, to Europe, to the edges of Asia. The world is vast, and there is so much more to see. I will travel not for the destination but for the beauty of the unknown, for the joy of flight, and for the freedom to explore. In every moment, I will live fully—gliding through the air, resting on mountains where only the birds dare go, and discovering the secrets of the earth with my wings at my back and the endless sky above me.
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!

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?

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?
I'm able to book up to 4 layovers of ~20-24 hours each in South America and I'm looking for cities that have large regional airports, decent city-to-airport transit infrastructure, and have stuff to do in the evenings and late mornings. Safety is relative but bonus points for places where tourists aren't casually mugged on a routine basis. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd love to hear them.
I'm curious to learn about places around the globe that have a significant amount of underutilized tourism infrastructure. In many cases, I suspect that governments are propping up unsustainable tourism operators or investing in tourism with a "build it and they will come" mentality. Here are a few examples that I'm aware of: - Qatar - The country has an oversupply of hotels relative to the number of visitors, and its tourism economy heavily relies on layover tours due to the strength of Qatar Airways' network. - Saudi Arabia - In an effort to diversify its economy away from oil, the country is pushing a massive tourism development agenda, despite having many factors that make it less appealing to visitors. Religious tourism seems to be a primary focus. - North Korea - For obvious reasons... For example, only a few floors of the Ryugyong Hotel are ever occupied. - Northern Japan (Aomori, Akita, Sendai) - These places are heavily fueled by domestic tourism, and are basically deserted for half of the year (despite attractions and so on still functioning). - EDIT: Maybe the Caribbean islands outside of Cruise ship season? To clarify, I'm not looking for hidden gems or places that are simply underrated travel destinations. Instead, I'm interested in learning about locations where there is a clear mismatch between the available tourism infrastructure and the actual number of visitors. I want to find places where I might end up being the only visitor to a museum or one of few tourists on an airport bus. The fact that these museums and airport limo buses even exist is where the question stems from.

We know that airlines overbook their seats, then count on no-shows and rebookings to make the system work. This helps ensure that each flight will be as full as possible, but it also leads to situations where passengers must be paid to take a different flight. What if the airlines are doing the same thing with overhead bins and “allowing” more carry-on luggage than a plane can even hold? What if they’re overbooking those compartments in the hopes or expectation that some passengers won’t bother with a Rollaboard and will simply check their bags instead? If that’s the case, then the aisle pandemonium can’t be chalked up to passengers’ misbehavior or to honest confusion at the gate. No, it would mean that all this hassle is a natural outcome of the airlines’ cabin-stowage arbitrage. It would indicate inconvenience by design.
I travel somewhat frequently to Germany and have noticed that flights booked from there to the US (round trip) are significantly cheaper than the other way around. They are often half the price I pay by booking the round trip starting in the US. I've tried to think of a way to use this to get cheaper tickets but can't seem to figure out what the best way is. My first thought was that I book a one-way flight to Germany from the US and then book a round trip flight starting in Germany with a much later return flight. The problem with this is that I would have to know when I wanted to visit Germany next and I would have to keep booking flights like that. Since airlines don't let you book more than one year in advance, it would force me to visit much more frequently than I am able to at this time. The other option is similar to option 1 but instead of taking the return flight, I would book the flight as a flex ticket and simply cancel the second leg of my trip once in the US. There is nothing stopping me from doing that is there? As long as I don't do it too frequently I assume. If that worked then I could fly (one-way) to Germany using miles, book the round trip flight for the return and cancel the flight back to Germany. Sounds complicated all typed up but seems simple in my head. Any reason this would be a bad idea or won't work?
I'm traveling on December 2, and I will arrive in Lisbon December 3 for 6 hours, from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., and then catch my other flight. Do you think I would be able to get breakfast early this morning, and then catch my flight? if the time allows it?
