First time traveling solo — Lisbon or Mexico City?
I have about 8 days off in the spring and it's my first real solo trip. Torn between Lisbon and Mexico City. Which would you pick for someone a little nervous about doing it alone?
I have never traveled solo
I have never traveled solo, any tips?
Carry-on only for two weeks — actually doable or a recipe for misery?
Two weeks, a mix of cities and one beach stop, shoulder season so the weather's a bit unpredictable. Can this really be done with just a carry-on?
How do you film a whole trip and still actually enjoy it?
Whenever I try to vlog a trip I end up experiencing the whole thing through my phone. How do you balance it?
Favorite Food
What types of food do you like eating when you are traveling?
Best neighborhoods for going out in Medellín without wandering into trouble?
Staying about a week. Want good bars and music but I'm traveling solo and don't want to end up somewhere sketchy at 2am.
One underrated city you'd go back to in a heartbeat?
Somewhere that isn't on every list but stuck with you.
How do you find the good local food and not just tourist traps?
Every city has that street where every restaurant has a guy out front with a menu. How do you consistently eat well instead?
Hotels or apartments for a 10-day trip through Italy?
Rome, Florence, and a few days on the coast. Do you lean hotel or short-term rental for a trip with a few stops like this?
Long-haul to Asia — pay up for the lie-flat seat or put it toward the trip?
14+ hour flight coming up. Business is roughly 3x economy. Is it ever actually worth it or is that money better spent on the ground?
Realistic daily budget for a week in Mexico City?
Trying to plan a realistic per-day number for a mid-range trip — decent hotel, eating well, a couple of day trips. What did yours actually come to?
