How did you all feel about solo travelling in Colombia?

Did you feel safe? Is the biggest threat pickpocketers or what other risks are there? I would just take a cheap phone with me and minimal cash during the day in that case, but are there any other dangers? Is Uber safe? I was thinking Cartagena and Medellin. Anyways, any advice or experiences?

Difficulty sleeping while on vacation when it is too quiet

At home my alarm has sleep music and I fall asleep to the ocean. I don't like ear plugs or buds but could try? Does anyone have some ideas for me.

Does anyone have a country that they have visited that really spoke to your soul?

One that you would love to go back to over and over again.

Mine is Ireland. Whenever things are going rough in my life I just want to go back to the Emerald Isle. I have been twice and I am yearning to go back again.

Does anybody ever get pitied and made feel like you have no friends simply because you like to travel alone?

I like to make my own plans and join group tours to make new friends. However, whenever I try to explain this to my family or coworkers I get the feeling they think I have no friends to go with. I try to tell myself not to care too much but sometimes it can be hard.
Any advice regarding dealing with these types of feelings are appreciated.

Just wondering if any others have a chronic illness and still travel?

How do you cope with the bad days when travelling?

Do you plan for the bad days as part of your travel planning?

And how do you deal with the grief (and for me the guilt) of needing to rest or recuperate for the body to be well again during a trip?

Anyone been to Athens solo?

I’d like to know if it is safe to go to the Acropolis, walk around Plaka, the markets and other typical places alone or would you advise tours only?
Thanks for your thoughts 🇬🇷

Tips for avoiding dehydration and overall feeling awful on long flights?

The last flight I took I drank a TON of water, probably atleast 3 litres over the span of 7-8 hours and still felt super dehydrated and just not good at all when I landed.

Are Liquid IV packets for water bottles a good thing to pack and drink on the plane? Does it help at all?

How many people travel with a laptop or tablet?

I'm curious I actually don't even own either. I do everything on my phone and, on the rear occasion I need a laptop for something.

Iceland solo

I have a few questions for those who have already visited Iceland:

- Is it safe to walk alone at night?
- Which rental car companies do you recommend?
- Since rentals are expensive plus fuel cost, is it better to book a Golden Circle tour with a group and then use a rental car for other places?
- Any hidden gems you recommend?
