How much to pay for hiring marshrutka in Ukraine?

12/15/2013 7:43:34 PM When I asked a taxi company for a small bus they listed 5 hryvnas/km for the whole 7-seats bus. There are companies that can take you over the Ukrainian border, and they charge 7 hryvnas/km for the part of trip which is not in Ukraine. What's a "trip kitty"? 6/16/2012 7:41:27 PM […]

What's a "trip kitty"?

6/15/2012 6:46:31 PM It sounds like an amount to cover fixed costs, and your individual contribution might vary, depending on how many people are part of the activity. For example, if a bus is needed, the cost is fixed and divided equally between all of the participants. If more people participate, the individual’s cost should […]

Are the backpacks with ventilation mesh convenient for backpacking?

3/18/2015 8:15:28 PM It really depends. If you are backpacking at a place that may have precipitation (rain), then mesh isn’t really a good option. I have a Gregory backpack that much better for that. If you’re really stuck on using mesh, then probably want to go with a set of small to medium packing […]

Getting a B2 visa after an overstay almost 25 years ago

8/24/2018 11:45:41 AM My experience with the border force and Homeland security in the last year is that they are not reasonable. If you didn’t get caught when staying there illegally and they have no record of your leaving time, then you can say you were there but don’t mentioned you overstayed. If you get […]

If it’s flooding unfortunately here in houston it floods every time there is a big tropical storm, thunderstorm or hurricane no matter the season. It’s flooded every year typically in March April May August September or October since 2015 depending on where you live. […]

Micro SIM cards in Vietnam and Cambodia?

12/23/2013 8:51:39 AM You should travel with a micro (or nano if you have an iphone) sim cutter. They are relatively cheap to obtain off ebay. This will make your life much simpler as you can obtain regular sim cards everywhere. Leaving Brazil without entry form 7/5/2012 8:33:21 PM I can’t vouch for micro SIMs, […]

ESTA was not approved but I have a valid visa

8/14/2018 9:04:58 AM The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) is for people who do not require a Visa (to waive meaning “to refrain from insisting on”). The Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) is a system whereby the USA determines whether you are eligible for the VWP before allowing you to fly. As you have a […]

Leaving Brazil without entry form

6/12/2012 10:19:28 PM I found this link, which explains what could happen if the entry form is not presented when leaving Brazil. Loss of the Arrival/Departure Card can cause many problems with the customs at departure. In case of loss you can expect a fine of R$150,= (about € 60,= or $ 100,=). If there […]

If an airline goes bust or insolvent, what happens to frequent flyer miles and reward tickets?

8/12/2018 8:08:47 PM Bankruptcy means that the company has run out of money. At that point, a list of the company’s debts is drawn up and prioritized. Money from selling off the company’s remaining assets is used to pay off those debts as far as is possible. A ticket for future travel that you have […]

Do Schengen visa officers check employment status for all applicants?

8/11/2018 6:32:29 AM I have similar experiences as you have in traveling. I suggest you state your academic profession. For example if you studied Accounting, you are automatically considered an accountant. And if they ask what you do now simply explain your circumstances as stated and if you have proof of your recent exam you […]

Is there a cheapest city / airline / season to fly one-way from anywhere in Europe to Australia?

11/9/2014 3:16:25 PM I think right now the cheapest way would be to fly with Norwegian from Scandinavia somewhere to Bangkok (from 184 EUR), then with continue with AirAsia to Melbourne (164 EUR), so 350 EUR so for a single fare. To Perth might be a bit cheaper. Single travelling in Sep-Oct – which destination: […]

Single travelling in Sep-Oct – which destination: China, Russia, Barcelona + Portugal, or Cuba?

8/27/2012 12:05:35 PM I have travelled alone to Cuba, Spain and China and I didn’t have any problems in any of those countries. Like the previous answers have stated, Cuba would not be a wise choice for that time of year. Otherwise, that would have been my first choice. Spain and Portugal are easy places […]

Do I have to mention a 13-year-old refusal in a Tier 4 visa extension application?

7/29/2018 7:25:40 PM Yes, Do mention that refusal. On your last application you replied honestly. Now the question has changed and you should again reply honestly to the new question. They will know the difference between their questions and there is no reason for them to consider that you used deception last time because of […]

London to Glasgow by train with stopovers

6/6/2012 3:00:57 PM Apart from other suggested places, consider stopping in either Cambridge or Oxford – these are really nice, historic towns. It is certainly easy to get there from London, you would have to check the onward transport to your next destination. Probably it will be not that hard to get to Birmingham from […]

Online check in before the time allowed

5/25/2018 6:12:55 PM Wait until you’re within the 23 hour window and try the checkin again. It’ll probably say “you’re already checked in!” and give you options to re-print (or re-mail) your boarding passes, and probably choose seat upgrades, extra baggage, and other extra-cost options. So you’ll know your in. If it seems to allow […]

Amtrak "large sharp objects" restriction: Are small knives included?

6/4/2012 1:08:11 AM Note that the prohibition linked to only mentions checked or unchecked luggage, and not items you might carry on your person. I do not know this for a fact, but am guessing the rule is not influenced by the airline’s prohibition on knives and other sharp objects after 9/11, but instead because […]
