Traveling through Sicily on a budget and without a driver's license

11/24/2011 8:07:44 PM Well the obvious answer is to hitch – that’ll lower your transport costs massively 😉 It all depends on whether you’re up to trying that. I don’t tend to, personally, but on the occasion I have, it’s pretty fun. One thing to note about the public transport on Sicily is that it’s […]

Applying for a Schengen Visa from within the UK

Applying for a Schengen Visa from within the UK

8/15/2015 4:09:53 PM Mark Mayo’s answer is the canonical reference point for your question. I wanted to add some of the legal groundings for why this is so. You will be able to apply for a Schengen visa at any of the member consulates in London using one of these as the enabling factor… Normal […]

What is the best way to pick up packages in Northern India?

12/16/2015 10:10:42 AM I’ve travelled to India many times, lived there a few years, often travelled to/lived in remote areas not visited by the usual tourist/trekker/hippytrail crowd, so this is based on my experience. I’m not a trekker or mountaineer. If you contact a hotel that does a lot of business with trekkers, has a […]

What's a good substitute for a pocket knife that can be carried on-board a plane?

6/29/2018 2:12:37 AM I’ve had a bicycle Y-wrench, about three inches across, small enough to forget in my pocket, refused. They did let me mail it to myself, which was approximately the same cost as replacing it. Scissors are definitely a no-no. About a dozen years ago I traveled with my 80-year-old mother. She had […]

Alternative to Marion-Dufresne for Kerguelen Islands

12/3/2015 7:47:04 PM Beautiful photos, they certainly capture the atmosphere there. There is indeed no airport and the supply vessel, Marion Dufresne is not really a ferry. It transports the personnel and supplies destined for the research facilities on the Crozet, Kerguelen and Saint Paul & Amsterdam islands. The round trip from Reunion Island takes […]

How can I estimate the crime rate in Cuba?

11/22/2011 10:39:09 PM I visited Cuba in July 2011 together with a friend. We traveled from Havana to Santa Clara and down to Trinidad and back. And by personal experience can tell you this: As Jonik wrote as well, there are very high penalties in crimes related to tourists. In fact there are laws which […]

6/11/2015 2:04:44 AM I’ve found TourAmigo (http://www.touramigo.com/) to be the best tour comparison site for multi-day tours. They cover 10 different continents and all the small and major tour operators and allows you to contact the tour companies directly to book which avoids commission fees.

Will my luggage transfer during an 18h layover in Changi?

11/30/2015 4:59:26 PM No you don’t need to claim and recheck your bags. For future reference at Changi, if you’re flying with SQ on the same ticket they will transfer them for you. Here’s the answer from their Twitter: Are both flights booked under the same booking ref? If yes, the baggage will be check […]

Do I have to pay traffic fines issued by foreign governments?

8/12/2016 3:29:48 AM Let’s say that you get a ticket and manage to leave the country (with your car, no less), before they catch up with you. A record of both the original violation and the unpaid fine (a second offense) will be kept by the country if their information systems are at all up […]

How to leave UK as soon as possible? (EEA national, but no travel document)

11/25/2015 5:27:53 PM The proper way to leave a country where you are stuck without travel document is to get an emergency travel document from your country’s embassy/consulate. Having to wait a month to get one when there is apparently no doubt regarding your identity and citizenship is unheard of for me, the Polish diplomatic […]

Pick-up Soccer in Dublin

11/15/2011 1:40:27 AM After quite some searching, the best I can provide is a link on gumtree which shows classified ads for soccer in Dublin. Several of them are trying to form teams or need extra players, and I’m sure would be happy to have a visitor join in for a game! What's the easternmost […]

What's the easternmost place in Asia?

What's the easternmost place in Asia?

11/29/2022 6:01:22 PM The easternmost part of Asia is actually the island of Attu. Attu is off the coast of Alaska, but so far west it crosses into Asia. Look it up. How to determine if a hostel room is a walk-through room? 1/8/2021 6:45:33 AM Tongue-in-cheek answer: The easternmost place in Asia is where […]

How is the passport control situation in Paris CDG Airport?

12/21/2015 3:07:50 PM Last time I went through was before Nov 13 but it still took significantly longer than an hour. CDG waiting times depend heavily on traffic, time of day and attitude of the staff. The only saving grace is that it’s a busy airport with lots of European flights so if you miss […]
