Il y a 90% de chances que je parte seule à Malte début octobre (billets pris et hébergement réservé, après si je trouve un accompagnant je suis pas contre).
J'ai loué une chambre chez l'habitant vers l'entrée de la Valette, je reste 6 jours pleins.
Je pense que c'est une destination globalement sûre, après s'il y a des conseils spécifiques...
J'ai un peu une tête de touriste russe mais je dois pas être la seule 😉
Vu mon super sens de l'orientation et ma non débrouillardise niveau transports, j'ai un peu peur de me perdre et d'avoir du mal à m'organiser 😛 C'est pas comme visiter une ville où on fait que marcher.
Je mise sur un séjour cool et pas de marathon, j'ai besoin de me poser et de me vider la tête (période difficile de ma vie, besoin d'air).
J'ai prévu de visiter la Valette, les 3 cités, Marsaxlokk, Mdina et Rabat.
Pas forcément Gozo cette fois-ci. J'y vais cool.
Je sais qu'il y a un pass de bus à la semaine, que je prendrai, et une application de taxi.
Si vous avez des bons plans, adresses où manger pas très cher, etc.
Seule, je n'aime pas trop m'éterniser au resto mais je n'aime pas cuisiner alors...
Bonjour Miranda,
Excellent programme, que tu n'auras pas le temps de réaliser à 100% en 6 jours🙂.
Pour les taxis : sauf itinéraire particulier, ils ne vont guère plus vite que les bus, qu'on a beaucoup de mal à doubler.
Le réseau de bus est très complet et tout est concentré sur la place aux tritons de la Valette. Si ton hébergement est par là, c'est parfait.
Seule remarque: Malte est loin d'être une destination low cost, tout y est cher (sauf le bus)
Désolée que tu aies des soucis en ce moment 😕, j'espère que ce petit voyage à Malte te fera beaucoup de bien 😉.
Perso y sommes allés l'an dernier (3 nuits, 2 jours et demis de visites) après notre long voyage dans les pouilles car le vol retour de Bari ou de Brindisi vers la Belgique était très onéreux. Prendre 1 vol de Bari à La Valette + 1 vol de La Valette à la Belgique était 3 fois moins cher alors nous avons terminé notre voyage à Malte que nous avions envie de visiter depuis longtemps.
En deux jours et demis nous avons eu le temps de balader bien à notre aise dans la Valette (une après-midi à notre arrivée, quelques heures après notre visite de Mdina et de Rabat et un peu après notre visite des 3 cités) + de visiter à l'aise un jour les trois cités (perso avions pris le bus vers là à l'aller car on logeait à Hal Qormi et au retour on avait pris le ferry vers La Valette - vers l'ascenseur situé à Barrakka gardens. près de l'entrée de La Valette et nous avons passé une bonne demie journée pour la visite de Mdina + de rabat (vraiment justes l'une à côté de l'autre à pied). Bus facile pour aller à Rabat et de là on a été à pied à Mdina (vraiment facile et très proches ces deux endroits). Marsaxlokk : avons pas eu le temps d'y aller, trop court séjour pour nous...
Surtout visiter la cathédrale Co-cathédrale Saint-Jean même si le billet n'est pas donné, elle est vraiment magnifique, y avons passé pas mal de temps...Trop belle...
Perso nous avions pris une carte 12 voyages à 15 euros car on pouvait l'utiliser à deux et que 3 jours sur place...Dans ton cas je crois que la carte à 21€ c'est nickel si tu comptes vraiment faire plus de 12 trajets en bus. Mais je doute que tu fasses plus de 12 trajets en bus en 6 jours entiers sur place...
Sur ce site tu trouveras les endroits où tu peux acheter ces cartes de transports, les lignes de bus (avec les arrêts) etc
Si tu loges près de la fontaine Triton, à l'entrée de La valette : là c'est facile car tu seras à 3-4 minutes à pied de là tu as énormément de bus. Très nombreux bus là. longer les bus à côté de l'entrée de la cité, descendre un peu et là encore x emplacements de bus...
Pas facile du tout j'avoue de s'y retrouver avec leurs bus mais bon nous y sommes arrivés alors tu y arriveras bien aussi puisque nombreux voyages déjà pour toi 😉...
Les trois cités : vraiment facile de s'y déplacer à pied de l'une à l'autre, on passe de l'une à l'autre… Nous avons consacré un jour à cela. Prendre le ferry si tu loges près de l'entrée de La valette. voir ce lien : http://vallettaferryservices.com/route_map.html. Un A/R en ferry vers les trois cités = 2,80€ en journée, 3,30 euros la nuit.
A mon avis : pas besoin de prendre la carte de transport à 39€ si tu ne restes que 6 jours entiers à malte.
CAR :
Si tu restes 2 jours dans le centre de La valette : pas de bus du tout à prévoir là. Deux jours entiers à La Valette : on en fait le tour à pied de tous les côtés à l'aise (du moins vraiment possible pour nous qui ne courons pas mais j'avoue que pas de resto pour nous la journée, qu'une pause apéro ou deux max sur la journée, le reste du temps on se balade et on entre dans les églises etc + visite de la co-cathédrale...Repas au logement pour nous le soir...Donc logiquement 0 dépense pour transports en commun ces jours-là...
Un jour pour les trois cités = ok çà à l'aise aussi et c'est 2 A/R à prévoir donc 2,80€ de ferry
Un jour pour Mdina et Rabat = 2 A/R en bus
Un jour pour Marsaxlokk = 2 A/R en bus
Dernier jour : petit tour à Sliema peut-être ? Si oui : 2 A/R en ferry soit 2,80€ si trajets en journée
Donc au final : dans ex ci dessus : tu n'arrives qu'à 4 trajets en bus ( donc 4 x 1,50€ si octobre est considéré comme hiver, ou 4 x 2€ si octobre est encore considéré comme été, 3€ par trajet si horaire la nuit…) donc on est encore loin des 12 trajets proposés avec la carte à 15€ (perso ce forfait, cette carte Tallinja 12 trajets à 15 euros me semble vraiment suffisante pour toi).
Taxi : on l'a pris de Hal Qormi à l'aéroport au retour mais je ne me souviens plus exactement du prix (dans les 15 euros max de mémoire). Proprio était venu nous chercher à l'aéroport à notre arrivée 😉 ce qui nous avait permis de profiter de toute notre après-midi à la valette le premier jour...
Désolée de pas avoir répondu. J'ai opéré un grand changement de vie ça m'a bouffé mon énergie mentale, j'ai rien foutu pour préparer ce voyage du coup.
Mais je prends note de vos messages et j'y reviendrai.
Il y a un contretemps qui fait que ce voyage est peut-être compromis encore une fois (j'espère pas, j'ai trop besoin de partir !!!).
Pas de soucis, j'espère que cela ira vraiment mieux pour vous prochainement 😉
Toujours bien relever la tête hein 😏
J'espère que vous pourrez bien partir à Malte quand vous l'aviez prévu sinon les infos vous serviront très bientôt, c'est tout le bien que je vous souhaite 😎.
Je suis arrivée (tard). Premier voyage seule donc...
Je suis à 25 mn à pied de la Valette environ. Toute à l'heure je vais y aller à pied découvrir un peu ça et prendre une carte de bus à la semaine. J'y vais cool...
Tu sais , si tu t'en sors avec les transports urbains , tu t'en sortiras aussi sur une île comme Malte à mon avis . J'ai vu le plan du réseau posté plus haut , ils y a vraiment des bus pour aller partout .
Fais bon voyage ...puis racontes-nous 🙂
"La vie est un voyage qui se vit au présent ou jamais ...."
J'avais compris aussi que tu logeais vraiment "aux portes de la valette"...Bon 25 minutes à pied vers l'entrée de la valette : c'est pas le top mais pas un drame non plus 😉...
Tu trouveras de très nombreux bus juste à l'entrée de la valette vers Mdina, Rabat etc (descendre juste à droite après avoir dépassé la grande fontaine juste avant l'entrée de la valette), longer ensuite x stations de bus et en bas ensuite à gauche : x emplacements de bus vers ces endroits ..
Bon voyage à toi même si ce n'était pas ce que tu avais prévu :), çà ira j'en suis sûre... je l'espère sincèrement pour toi 😉
Profites-en un max 😉 et n'oublies pas d'aller visiter la cathédrale, tu vas beaucoup aimer, en suis persuadée...Elle vaut vraiment le prix de l'entrée….
Je ferai un carnet détaillé mais en gros je suis allée à pied jusqu'à La Valette, avec des détours (ça m'a pris un certain temps mais je fais pas mal de photos), j'ai été sur les jardins de Floriana pour voir la vue sur les 3 cités, puis balade dans La Valette.
C'était la nuit blanche avec plein d'endroits ouverts et gratuits, des concerts... Bon trop de monde pour la cathédrale donc j'y retournerai.
Aujourd'hui j'ai été aux 3 cités, je me suis "perdue" dans les petites rues non touristiques de Bormla (je crois), puis j'ai arpenté la belle Vittoriosa, le fort... et retour à La Valette pour dîner 😛
Pour le moment il a fait plutôt chaud sans excès, et beau même si des nuages venaient et partaient aujourd'hui.
Ce devrait être orageux les prochains jours.
C'est vraiment à 5 mn en bus de la Valette donc ça va !
Par contre je me suis renseignée pour Gozo c'est long d'y aller, presque 2h jusqu'à la citadelle.
En tout cas Malte tient ses promesses, depuis le temps que ça me faisait envie !!
J'ai pris la carte 12 trajets, misant sur un AR par jour (et donc le premier jour juste une trajet car je suis allée à pied jusqu'à La Valette). Mais je n'avais pas pensé que j'aurais certainement envie de dîner sur La Valette après mes excursions, aie !
Bon là je compte repasser une journée à La Valette pour les visites (cathédrale, palais...), voir Mdina/Rabat, Marsaxlokk, après je sais pas.
Il y a des endroits sympas pour manger dans ces villes ?
Je souhaiterai me rendre à Malte pour la première fois en tant que Femme seule, En janvier 2025 pour deux semaine de Lille dans le Nord de la France...…
Je pars pour Malte une petite semaine du 15 au 22 juin je suis en train de chercher un hébergement 3 nuits sur La Valette ou un autre quartier sachant que je…
J'envoie ma fille de 16 ans à Malte en séjour linguistique. JE sais qu'on sort beaucoup là bas, je voudrais savoir s'il y a des coins dangereux, si on peut…
Nous sommes 3 copines, ayant 18ans et nous souhaitons partir en octobre prochain une semaine afin de profiter, faire la fête et voyager un peu ensemble, nous…
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!
We’re leaving in early November for a month.

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
Seule remarque: Malte est loin d'être une destination low cost, tout y est cher (sauf le bus)
