Nous sommes deux filles et nous avons 2 mois pour lArgentine et le Chili, que peut on nous conseiller de faire en priorité?
Nous avons pensé à cet itinéraire :
buenos aires/iguazu/mendoza/santiago/sud du chili puis descente vers la terre de feu/passage en Argentine:perito moreno, parc des glaciers, etc.../puerto madryn /buenos aires
c'est possible?
Ensuite, une de nous reste 1mois et demi seule, quel pays conseiller ensuite?
merci!!!
ah oui..on a un peu oublié des détails importants!!
départ prévu mi mars 2009 et moyens de transports...à voir : bus ou le top serait le train quand c'est possible.
On avait pensé à la voiture mais est ce facile de rouler ?de louer?
au fait je vois que tu es de Guyane sais tu s'il ya des vols de la guyane jusqu au brésil?
Pour les vols depuis la Guyane, il y en a, mais peu, et c'est cher (plus de 300 euros, pour aller dans une ville assez proche, Belem). 😐
Disons que pour votre programme, il ne faudra pas trainer pour descendre en Patagonie, histoire de ne pas se retrouver dans l'hiver austral. Du coup, il faudra sans doute inverser le sens de la boucle...
Puerto Madryn, c'est pour les baleines, c'est ça? Je crois qu'à cette période de l'année, elles sont déjà parties...😕
Niveau transport, les bus sont vraiment un bon moyen de transport, mais attention à certaines durées: peut-être qu'un petit vol intérieur ou deux serait indiqué...Cela dit, je ne peux pas trop t'aider, au niveau des temps de transport: je n'ai pas encore expérimenté toute cette zone...(ça va venir...). Pour la voiture, l'inconvénient est qu'une location est très très coûteuse si on ne rend pas le véhicule au point de départ. Ponctuellement, c'est jouable, mais pas sur la longue durée...
Joli projet en tout cas...
PS: Pour le mois et demi qui reste, mes coups de coeur: Bolivie, et Pérou...Incroyables pays...
On vient juste de rentrer, on a visité la Patagonie pendant 3 semaines (7 au 28 nov 2008). Voici notre programme:
Santiago (1 jour)
Torres del Paine (5 jours)
Vol avec LAN pour Punta Arenas, puis bus jusqu'à Puerto Natales. On n'a pas réussi à prendre un bus pour Puerto Natales depuis l'aéroport, on a dû passer par le centre de Punta Arenas.
5 jours au parc Torres del Paine (circuit W) en autonomie, donc tente, réchaud, nourriture. Je dois avouer qu'on a craqué une fois et avons dormi en refuge le 2e jour car il avait plu toute la journée et on était trempés!! Mais on a eu de la chance, que 1.5 jours de pluie sur 5 😉.
El Calafate (3 jours).
Bus de Puerto Natales à El Calafate. Je vous conseillerai de réserver le billet de bus dès que possible. On est allés la veille et le bus du matin était complet, du coup on a pris celui de 14h30 -> arrivée à El Calafate qu'à 21h30 à cause de 2h d'attente aux frontières!!! Et on n'avait pas encore d'hôtel et toutes les agences de voyages étaient fermées. Du coup, on est restés 3 jours à El Calafate: 1 jour pour organiser nos excursions, 1 jour pour la croisère "Todos los glaciares" mais impossible de voir les glaciers Upsala et Onelli car des icebergs bouchaient le passage, 1 jour où on a loué une voiture pour voir le Perito Moreno et éviter la foule. Chose marrante, on est arrivés au parc tellement tôt qu'on n'a pas dû payer l'entrée (qui se monte à 40 ARS = 10 Euros par personne). Puis on a fait un petit tour vers le laguna Roca.
El Chalten (2 jours)
Bus CALTUR El Calafate - El Chalten. Les bus Caltur sont plus neufs que ceux de Chalten Travel, le trajet n'a duré que 3h avec une pause de 10 minutes dans une pâtisserie au milieu de nulle part (très bonnes boules de berlin!). 1 jour pour le trek jusqu'à la Laguna de los tres (Fitz Roy) et 1 jour pour le trek jusqu'à la Laguna Torre (cerro Torre) puis retour à El Calafate.
Retour à Puerto Natales. Location d'une voiture pour redescendre à Punta Arenas. On a pris la voiture à 18h et avons dormi à Rio Verde (il n'y a qu'un hôtel à Rio Verde, donc réservation impérative!! Anecdote: l'hôtel était complet -> on a dormi dans la voiture😛). Le lendemain matin, visite des pingouins à Seno Otway, et retour de la voiture à l'aéroport de Punta Arenas.
Vol LAN pour Puerto Montt.
Puerto Varas (3 jours).
Nous avons dû attendre 2 jours pour que le temps se découvre et voir le volcan Osorno!!! 1 jour à se balader dans Puero Varas, 1 jour à Frutillar, 1 jour en VTT pr s'approcher du volcan Osorno. Je vous rassure, nous sommes allés en voiture jusqu'à Ensenada, puis VTT sur le sendero del Soltero (base du volcan) puis avons continué jusqu'aux les saltos de Petrohué.
Santiago, Valpo et Cajon de Maipo (2 jours)
Bus de nuit pour Santiago en salon cama. Puis location d'une voiture pour 2 jours.
1e jour: visite de Valpo puis avons roulé jusqu'au Cajon de Maipo ( Cascadas de las animas).
2e jour: Marche jusqu'aux cascades, puis voiture jusqu'aux Banos Morales et marche dans la réserve naturelle. Puis nuit à Santiago.
Désolée pour le pavé!! Pour le mois et demi qu'il reste, je conseillerai le Pérou-Bolivie. On a visité ces 2 pays en 2004 pendant 6 semaines et on a adoré. A vrai dire je trouve le Pérou et la Bolivie plus dépaysants que la Patagonie. Peut-être est-ce dû au fait que je viens de Suisse et que je suis habituée des montagnes 🙂. Plus sérieusement, je trouve que le Chili (on a passé qu'une semaine en Argentine, donc je ne vais pas me permettre de juger cet immense pays) ressemble plus à un pays européen, le niveau de vie, les habitants, etc..
En tout cas, mon coup de coeur reste en Bolivie, au salar d'Uyuni.
Hola !! comment ca va ?
je vient de voir ton message et j'aimerai savoir si tu peut me dire un peu plus sur les prix (location de voiture, vol interne, ou prix total des 3 semaines) je suis actuellement au Perou et je part au Chili debut janvier pour aller jusqu'a la patagonie et ensuite remonter par l'Argentine. j'en ai absolument rien de prevu dans ces 2 pays alors je risque de me baser un peu sur tes ecrits.
Merci !
Hello, en gros on a dépensé 2000 USD pour 3 semaines pour deux sans compter les vols internes.
C'est beaucoup, mais on a toujours pris des chambres doubles (souvent avec salle de bains privée). Pour économiser, je te conseille de réserver tes hôtels en avance, on est partis sac à dos et voulions garder une certaine liberté -> les hôtels les moins chers étaient souvent complets. En moyenne, au Chili, on a payé la chambre double 20'000 pesos chiliens (un peu moins de 40 CHF) mais en Argentine (El Calafate et El Chalten), c'était autour des 180 ARS (65 CHF). Je crois qu'un lit en dortoir est à peu près 15 CHF. On mangeait à peu près pour 15 CHF par personne au resto le soir (à midi, souvent on pique-niquait).
En ce qui concerne les vols internes, on avait acheté des vols Air Comet il y a plusieurs mois (110 CHF Santiago-Punta Arenas, et 80 CHF Punta Arenas-Puerto Montt) mais ils sont tombés en faillite 1 semaine avant notre départ. Du coup on a dû acheter des billets chez LAN à plein pot (700 CHF au total!!). Ensuite, on a appris que Sky Airlines reprenaient les vols d'Air Comet mais quand on a vu l'état des avions de Sky Airlines, on a préféré rester avec LAN 🙂. Mais Sky Airlines est sûrement une compagnie très bien.
Sinon pour les transports, la location de voiture à El Calafate était de 230 ARS (210 ARS si on payait cash), la location à Puerto Natales était de 35'000 pesos chiliens + 25'000 pr le drop off à Punta Arenas, et la location à Santiago était de 30'000 pesos chiliens. L'essence était de 1 CHF par litre!
Bus de nuit en cama de Puerto Varas à Santiago était 25'000 pesos chiliens (bus normal 15'000 pesos chiliens).
Parmi les choses qui nous ont coûté le plus cher hormis la loc de voiture et les vols internes: excursion en bateau "Todos los glaciares" à El Calafate: le bateau à 295 ARS + transfert de l'hôtel au port 40 ARS + entrée au parc 40 ARS -> 375 ARS = 125 CHF par personnes VTT à Puerto Varas: 43'000 pesos chiliens = 80 CHF (comprend le transfert jusqu'à Ensenada, vélo, casque, gants, entrée aux Saltos de Petrohué, lunch box) Nuit au Lodge Paine (torres del pain) + repas du soir + petit déj: 22'000+9'000+5'000 = 36'000 pesos chiliens = 70 CHF
Merci !!
On va inverser et partir direct dans le sud je pense !! Pour le mois seule, c'est vrai que la Bolivie et le Pérou sont bien tentant, je vais étudier ça!
Je suis une jeune femme de 28 ans qui aimerait aller 2 semaines en Bolivie en septembre. Par contre, plusieurs questions m'envahissent. Est-ce sécuritaire de…
Je prévoit un voyage cet été en Amérique du Sud, en fait plutot au Pérou, en Bolivie et au Chili. Je me demandais si c'était assez sécuritaire pour qu'une…
Hi everyone,
I’m a 67-year-old woman who loves to travel, and for my third solo trip, I’ve decided to explore Indonesia.
I’ll be there from September 1st to October 5th, and I’m really struggling to plan my itinerary.
I’d love any advice you can share—I’ll read it all carefully.
So far, I’ve booked my first two nights with a local host in Jakarta, and then I’m heading to Borobudur. That’s all I’ve got planned for now.
Do you think I should book accommodations and transport tickets in advance? It seems really complicated, or could I just decide day by day based on how I feel?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a solo trip to Mongolia this summer, without an agency. However, I’d like to have a guide accompany me for certain parts of my journey.
From my research, I understand that most "activities," accommodations, and transportation are best arranged day by day, depending on opportunities and encounters. Without an agency, everything is organized on the spot.
I’d love to hear more opinions on this, especially regarding the Orkhon Valley.
Here’s the itinerary I’m planning:
* UB -> Mörön (flight) -> Khatgal (local buses)
A few days at Lake Khövsgöl
* Khatgal -> Mörön -> Jargalant -> Tariat (local buses)
A few days at the White Lakes
* White Lakes -> Tsetserleg -> Kharkhorin (4x4 with driver)
A few days in the Orkhon Valley
+ the Eight Lakes (horseback trekking with a guide)
* Return to UB
From what I’ve gathered, the first part should be fairly straightforward, but I have questions about the Orkhon Valley.
Here are my questions:
-> Tsetserleg to Kharkhorin route:
Have any of you made this trip by booking a driver on the spot when arriving in Tsetserleg? Was it easy to find an available driver? And did you find it easy/difficult/impossible to find other travelers to share the ride with? Ideally, I’d like to share this leg with fellow travelers.
-> The Eight Lakes: Could you share your experience with the Eight Lakes? Did you easily find a guide directly on site? Were you able to share this experience with other travelers?
Last question for women who’ve traveled solo in Mongolia:
-> How did you experience it? Do you have any specific tips or recommendations?
I’m considering a road trip (rental car) to explore the Canadian Rockies in September 2026, starting in Calgary and ending with about 10 days in Vancouver and the surrounding area. (Two weeks in the Rockies and a little under two weeks in Vancouver and nearby.)
I’d like to say that being a woman traveling alone doesn’t really bother me. That’s not the issue. Being a woman is just how it is, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon, but traveling solo is something I could fix by finding travel companions. However, I had a not-so-great experience in India with two girls who were total strangers at first and turned out to be quite annoying, so I’m a bit put off by the idea now.
My question is simple, assuming I do this trip alone: is it worth sticking *only* to driving? I have **zero** sense of direction—with a map, I’m hopeless. So, is it realistic to think, "With my GPS, I’ll just drive from Calgary to Vancouver and see what I see," since I don’t see myself hiking alone? I’m not easily scared, but I wouldn’t feel confident doing that solo. Unless all the sightseeing is done with a guide (but then, hello, the cost—my budget isn’t exactly overflowing).
What do you all think?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Take care and happy travels.
Cheers,
Régine
Hi,
After a week of sports south of Bergen, I’m not sure what to visit during the following week between Bergen and Oslo.
I haven’t planned to rent a car.
I’d love your suggestions. Thanks
Hi everyone, I’m really keen to visit Iran for three weeks in mid-March 2015.
What worries me a bit isn’t so much traveling alone—I’m used to it and know the Middle East well—but rather the current events (Islamic State) that could potentially become dangerous.
Flights are pretty cheap at the moment, and I’d like to book before prices go up.
Any advice from people who know the ground situation and Iranian current affairs better than I do would be much appreciated! :)
Hi there! I’m in the middle of planning my first solo trip (as a woman). Do you have any ideal destinations with activities like hiking, diving, sightseeing, and easy ways to meet locals—all on a small budget?
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had this experience before! :)
Hi there,
Who could recommend a reliable agency for visiting several islands, including the parks around Komodo? I’m traveling solo as a woman.
Thanks for your great tips!
Hi everyone,
I’m often in transit in Tokyo and I stay at the hotel because Japanese people speak little English and the signs are almost always in Japanese!
Any ideas for getting from Narita to a nice park or an onsen? I wanted to try Hokkaido, but apart from renting a car, it’s all trains! Any suggestions for a car with a driver? Or is it too expensive? Small group tours in Hokkaido? I read about the Explorator group’s offer—way too expensive!!!
I’ve got a maximum of 8 days. I’d just like a nice Japanese break.
Thanks for any tips you can share!
my friend, with whom I traveled to Iran, Myanmar, and India, really wanted to take a one-month trip to Armenia and Georgia. So we booked our flights (June 21 to July 19), but disaster struck—she can’t travel anymore due to serious family reasons.
Now I’m heading off on this adventure alone. It’s not that I’ve never traveled solo before—I spent three months exploring Southeast Asia by myself last year—but I still have a few questions, and I’d really appreciate your input.
* I don’t think traveling alone in these countries is very risky—what do you think?
* Maybe I could hire a driver? What would that cost, since some places seem tricky to reach by public transport. Do you have any driver recommendations?
* I don’t want to rent a car—the driving seems too unpredictable, especially in Georgia.
* I’d love to do some nice hikes—are there any guides available?
Here’s my rough itinerary:
YEREVAN and surroundings
YEGHEGNADZOR for Noravank
GORIS and TATEV
LAKE SEVAN
DILIJAN
HAGHPAT
TBILISI and surroundings
The CAUCASUS toward Mestia
UPLISTSIKHE
VARDZIA
Return to Yerevan for my flight
Thanks to anyone who can share their experiences or answer my questions!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a few tips that really helped me better prepare my carry-on luggage. After a few trips (and some mistakes too!), I’ve finally found a way to organize myself that makes life a lot easier. Maybe this can help other travelers here.
1. Choose a practical and sturdy bag
A good bag is the foundation. I’ve noticed that a model with a solid structure, sturdy wheels, and a well-thought-out interior really changes the experience. Hard-shell suitcases hold up better, especially when you’re hopping between flights. Personally, I use a Lambert suitcase because the interior is super well-divided, but the important thing is to find a model that works for you.
2. Rolling your clothes really works
It’s simple, but it saves so much space. Plus, it wrinkles less. I do this now for almost everything, especially lightweight clothes.
3. Keep everything in a small kit
100 ml liquids, toothbrush, cream, mini first-aid kit… Having all of that in one clear toiletry bag makes going through security much easier. It saves you from having to take everything out and put it back in a rush.
4. A pouch for essentials
Passport, headphones, charger, phone… I keep all of that in the same pouch. It saves so much stress when you need to find something quickly, especially on the plane.
5. Traveling lighter makes all the difference
Since I started choosing versatile clothes that mix and match well, I travel with a lot less. Less weight, fewer decisions to make, fewer things to lug around. It honestly makes traveling so much more enjoyable.
From the conversations I’ve had with other travelers (and several customers too), I’ve realized you can really simplify your trip just by organizing a little better and choosing good accessories.
If you have other tips or methods that work for you, I’d love to read them. We always learn from others on this forum.
Looking forward to exchanging with you all!
Hi,
Has anyone recently taken the boat to Casamance from Dakar and could share their experience?
From France, is it possible to book online, or do you need to go through an agency? How far in advance?
Boarding/disembarking: how does it work? Do we have to check in our luggage and then pick it up on arrival?
What’s the vibe like on the boat in the seating area?
Has anyone ever stopped over in Carabane? Accommodation options there?
Thanks so much if you have any recent info!
Exploring India by road is all about having a good driver. I highly recommend the one I’ve traveled with for 5 "safe" trips—Rajasthan 3 times over 16 years, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. He’s been driving tourists for 25 years now and is more than just a driver. He knows how to talk about his country, the cities you visit, and suggests alternative routes.
He’s well-connected with real local guides who don’t just ramble (as he puts it himself) or drag you into shops claiming to be run by their "so-called family." Depending on your preferences, he can suggest well-tested itineraries and recommend typical hotels like Havelis.
For dining, he oversees meal prep based on your spice-level preferences. He’s Sikh and deeply respectful of his passengers.
He speaks English better than French, but one of his daughters is studying French at university.
Hi,
We’d like to spend about twenty days in Albania next July. We’re two women traveling together and we’re thinking of renting a small car. Does that sound reasonable, or should we avoid it?
Thanks for your advice.
Hi there,
I’m spending a week in Morocco (Rabat - Meknes - Fes).
I’ll be traveling solo—is it safe for a woman over 60?
For transportation, I’m planning to take the train. I was thinking of buying my ticket last minute, but it’s around the end-of-year period…?
I’ll be in Meknes on December 31st—any suggestions on how they celebrate New Year’s Eve there?
Is anyone visiting these destinations? Maybe we could meet up…?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
After hearing so much about Djerba, especially the GO clubs, is it risky for a young, pretty newly-retired woman to visit the island alone?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Does anyone know how late the buses run from Cusco Airport to the city center? I land at 9:30 PM, plus time to clear customs, pick up my luggage, and exchange some money—figure an extra 30 to 45 minutes. Though, come to think of it, I still have 5 sols from last time—maybe that’ll be enough for the bus?
Thanks.
Brigitte
Planned arrival on Sunday evening, November 16, 2025, in San José. Staying 3 nights, then taking a bus to Tortuguero for 2 nights. Looking for a shared shuttle to La Fortuna for 2 nights, then a van-boat-van combo to Santa Elena for 2 or 3 nights. Heading to Quepos for 4 nights for day trips using local buses—Jaco, San Antonio, Uvita. After that, a full-day bus ride to Cahuita. I’m booking hotels as I go, which gives me the flexibility to stay longer in places I like. I’m looking for accommodations in city centers near restaurants and not too far from the bus station. Budget: 50 € for a room with a private bathroom (if you’ve got any great tips!). For my finale, I’ll cross the land border to Panama City for 4 days. Thanks for your suggestions! 😉
As I mentioned before, I’m heading to Istanbul next summer, and I’ve heard there have been quite a few attacks by Kurds in Turkey recently, which is making me hesitate about my trip.
What do you all think? :( I’m wondering if it’s really a good idea to go...
Hi everyone,
I’m 66 and just discovered solo travel in Uzbekistan—I loved it! So I’ve decided to explore Africa, starting with Senegal. I’m just beginning my research, but if anyone can give me advice on which month to go, what to see, and whether this destination is safe—or maybe suggest another African country—I’d really appreciate your tips!
Hi there!

Thanks
Hi there,
We’d like to stay in Switzerland for five days.
There are two of us (women).
We don’t know this country at all.
What cities or affordable spots would you recommend for visiting?
Cheap accommodation.
Looking for community-based options.
And being close to public transport.
Thanks for your tips and experiences!
Best regards.
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone has taken a Rede Expressos bus from Lisbon Airport to Lagos, and if so, where exactly at the airport you need to board it? I’m worried I’ll get lost and miss my bus...
Hi again,
I’m adding more details to my info request. Here are two proposed itineraries. We’re hesitating:
Colombo - Unawatuna 2 days - Sinharaja 1 day - Bandarawela 2 days - Kandy 3 days - Dambulla 2 days - Wilpattu Park 1 day - Kalpitiya 3 days - Negombo 1 day
What should we change or add a day for to include Jaffna?
Or:
Negombo 1 day - Anuradhapura 2 days - Jaffna 2 days - Sigiriya 2 days - Dambulla 1 day - Kandy 2 days - Ella 1 day - Galle 3 days
For your advice.
Is it better to finish in Galle or Kalpitiya?
Thanks in advance!

This is a warning message! I’d like to address it especially to young women traveling alone for the first time in India. Other travelers may react to my post based on their own experiences, but I think what I’m about to say shouldn’t be taken lightly—unless that’s what you’re looking for!
Last July, I traveled to Northern India. I stopped in Khajuraho to see the famous tantric temples. I stayed one night, and that was more than enough. Khajuraho is very touristy, but you should know that 80% of young Indian men there are "gigolos." Locals call these young men (aged 18 to 30) "playboys" or "Lapka" (which means "capture the woman" in Hindi)!!!
They approach tourists with kindness and politeness, offering tea or a motorcycle ride (which they’ve often gotten from generous Western female tourists) to waterfalls a few kilometers from Khajuraho or other tourist sites. After befriending you, they charm you—be careful, these are professionals who are very skilled at this; it’s all they do, and they do it well. They’ll offer you food, drinks, and even temple entry to confuse you. They’ll suggest spending the evening or even the night with them. **Refuse (unless you’re into local flings and that’s why you came)!!!!**
At first, you’ll be seduced by their generosity, let your guard down, and then they’ll make you believe in *true love*. They won’t leave you alone and will keep in touch via email or phone if you give them your details. The lines they use to soften you up and scam you include: *"I’m the only one taking care of my family, my brother is sick, I don’t know what to do..."* All of this is to manipulate you into offering them money. They’ll never ask for it outright (to avoid being exposed) but will wait for you to suggest it.
If you receive emails from them, they’ll never be signed, and their name won’t appear in the email address (to avoid leaving traces). They use fake names to avoid being reported. If you believe their sob stories and offer help, they’ll give you a bank account number to send money via Western Union. These young men make a living from this—selling their bodies and scamming people! They’re very skilled, charming, manipulative, and *big-time cheaters*!
(Especially one young man who goes by the alias *Tony*—apparently the most skilled. He lives in a hotel near the lake, *Krishna Cottage*, and is in regular contact via Skype with Western women he’s tricked into believing he loves them while shamelessly scamming them. He even opened an internet café on the roof of the hotel with money he stole from women who fell for his charm.)
So, young romantic women craving love, sensitive singles, or anyone emotionally vulnerable—**don’t let yourself be scammed!!!** This behavior is becoming more common in India and is still relatively unknown. Male prostitution is on the rise, and cases of romantic scams and financial fraud by gigolos are increasing.
hi everyone! I’d like to visit Montreal and the surrounding areas in August, and I’ve got 3 weeks of vacation. I’m traveling alone and will be visiting my daughter, who recently moved there. She’ll be working and only available in the evenings! So I’m torn between spending a week in Montreal, then taking a flight to Cuba, and returning to France from Havana—or staying in Montreal and exploring the nearby areas alone.
For my first idea—going to Cuba—is it feasible in terms of administrative formalities and legality? And for my second idea, is it possible to take buses? If so, is it too expensive? And are there many places served by them?
From FES, I’d like to spend a few days in:
MEKNES
CHEFCHAOUEN
TETOUAN
and then return to FES.
I’m planning this trip in November.
Thanks for your tips!
I just got back from an unforgettable road trip in Madagascar where I drove down the legendary RN7. It connects Tana (the capital) to Tulear.
Since we were traveling as a group of girls, we decided to go with a guide. I’d never done an “organized” trip before, but I have to say we loved this first tailor-made travel experience.
From the highlands of the Red Island
down to the west coast, by the Mozambique Channel.
Vast landscapes as far as the eye can see
Human encounters
Discovering ancestral artisanal know-how
Sunsets over the ochre mountains
Intense, precious moments with my friends
We loved the mountains, visits to artisans, and the parties too ;-)
We used local guides to show us specific spots (like Isalo National Park, where we were able to bivouac)
Hi there,
My friend and I are traveling together between October and November 2025—no exact dates yet.
We’d love to step away from the typical travel agency packages and are hoping to rent a car locally and stay with locals, living with them rather than in a vacation rental.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance for your advice and tips!
Warm regards to all
