Cities

I’m currently spending a week in Paris on my own and decided to take a day trip to Giverny to visit Monet's House and Gardens. It turned out to be an amazing experience and I’d definitely recommend it if you have the opportunity. I took an early morning train to Vernon-Giverny...

I am planning to go to WSOP and stay at Paris for a comped visit. When I went last year, I remember Paris having extremely high food prices at mid-range restaurants like Martha Stewart’s Bedford. I checked the current menu on the website and the prices actually look reasonable...

I am planning to travel from Victoria Coach Station in London to Edinburgh Waverley or Bus Station by overnight coach which takes around 9 hours. I have found two booking options FlixBus and Trainline. I am trying to decide which one is better in terms of reliability punctuality...

I recently stayed at the WestHouse Hotel New York after booking through Hilton. The main reasons for choosing it were its proximity to a special concert we were attending and the opportunity to experience a Small Luxury Hotels (SLH) property for the first time. Before arriving,...

I just checked out after a 5-night stay at Moxy Istanbul Taksim, and it ended up being the best Moxy experience I have had so far. The property design is genuinely impressive. The hotel is built around a converted loft-style area, and the lobby feels like an open-air street that...

I’m planning a stay in Rome for an upcoming wedding and am considering Le Méridien Visconti Rome. My main reason for choosing it isn’t the price but the location. The wedding will be near the Vatican, and the reception is at a venue just across the river, making the hotel seem...

The MGM Grand casino floor is absolutely massive. I swear you can walk half a mile just trying to get from blackjack to your room. I actually liked the place more than I expected, but blackjack at MGM really chewed me up this trip. Between some rough cards and not-so-great...

Long shot… I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Bangkok a few years ago and somehow slept amazingly well. I took a quick photo of the mattress tag back then, but I’m now trying to figure out exactly what kind of mattress it is. If anyone happens to stay there and remembers this post,...

Whenever I visit Bangkok from my home province, I like taking the Chao Phraya River taxi up to Nonthaburi, which takes about an hour. Along the way, I always notice the old wooden structure that has stood out to me since my first visit in 2004. It’s a historic teakwood building...

We like finding alternative ways to travel between cities that don’t involve flying, so instead of taking a direct flight from Amsterdam to Belfast, we decided to do the entire journey by rail and ferry. Our trip started with an early morning Eurostar from Amsterdam Centraal to...

Hello Las Vegas locals, I’m looking for advice on whether there is a proper way to report a driver for unsafe behavior on the freeway. Yesterday, I encountered a vehicle that appeared to intentionally produce heavy black exhaust smoke when accelerating near other cars. It seemed...

This was our third trip to Las Vegas as a family (me, my wife, and daughter). We are starting to get more familiar with the area and keep finding ways to enjoy the trip while staying on a budget. Breakdown of costs: Airfare (3 round trip tickets): $900 Hotel (6 nights at...

Last month, I stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel New York in Midtown. Thanks to my travel advisor, I was upgraded to a Junior Suite with a Central Park view on a higher floor and was able to enjoy in-room breakfast, which is one of my favorite perks of staying at Four Seasons. I...

Who is this girl I keep seeing everywhere in Bangkok, and why does she seem to be so widely present across different places? I’m not actually complaining, it’s more of a curious observation, and I find it kind of interesting in a funny way.

I’m looking to book a one-night stay at Motto by Hilton in Philadelphia, with a base room rate of about $219. However, the total price shows nearly $70 in taxes, which seems unusually high. There are no additional resort or destination fees listed, so I’m trying to understand...

I stayed for a week in October 2025 at Atlantis The Palm in Dubai in an Imperial Club Room. Total cost was €806, which appears to be an obvious pricing error, but it was honored. While this is not exactly in the typical “chubby travel” price range, the overall experience...

GetYourGuide just cancelled our Colosseum underground tour with less than 2 weeks notice. When we try to reschedule, there are no dates available at all, and we are being offered a refund. Is there any realistic way to still visit the Colosseum underground this close to the...

I took this photo because this part of the station looks like this mainly because of the Dunkin’ Donuts location here. I am guessing it is difficult for the station to clean or renovate this area fully since the shop is operating in that space and relocating it would likely...

Just a warning for anyone departing from Paris CDG on 18 May 2026. Passport control was severely backed up due to what appeared to be widespread malfunctioning of the automated e-gates (a “sea of red” across the system). As a result, the manual passport control lanes were...

Looks like two of the world's most talked-about leaders were recently spotted sharing a meal in Bangkok.

I came across an offer at Westgate that seems almost too good to be true. The rate comes to about 86 dollars per night after taxes and fees, and it includes a 100 dollar resort credit. For anyone who has booked this deal before, is it legitimate, or are there restrictions and...
