Bonsoir, je suis eva, je souhaite partir au maroc de paris, je ne sais comment faire (vous direz oui les femmes) enfin cela n'est pas grave, je souhaite connaitre les pièges pour le trajet, sachant que je possède une très belle voiture et que je voyage seule. Je souhaite me rendre à Rabat. Je vous remercie bien cordialement pour vos réponses. A très bientôt je le souhaite.😊
Bonjour,
Si ton projet est d'aller seulement à Rabat et que tu crains pour ta belle voiture pourquoi ne pas venir en avion et en louer une sur place ? de plus je pense que cela te coutera moins cher et t'évitera des milliers de KM, seule de surcroit
il y eu parfois des problemes en Espagne par exemple
juste une proposition
neanmoins il y a, meme au Maroc, des belles voitures et ce ne sont pas des "cibles" pour autant,
par contre la conduite des Marocains, et des Marrakchis en particulier est : tres tres surprenante, comme je l'ai lu ailleurs "içi on ne conduit pas on s'évite"
pour les occidentaux c'est un sport de haut niveau de ne pas s'accrocher sur la route
bon courage dans ton projet
Domi
EN ESPAGNE QUE TU RISQUE LE PLUS DE TE FAIRE VOLER NE DORT PAS SANS TASSURE DE LA GARDE DE TA VOITURE
AU MAROC LA SUELE CHOSE QUE TU RISQUE C EST DE TE FAIRE DRAGUER SI TU N EST PAS UN BOUDIN

Bonjour Eva
j'ai fais le trajet de Paris seule en voiture, la route est belle et le trajet facile (attention les radars) jusqu'à Sète de la j'ai pris le bateau 2 nuits (avec une réservation bien sûr) jusqu'à Tanger, ensuite Rabat ce n'est pas trop loin, pour moi ça n'a pas été dur, j'espère que ce sera pareil pour toi, si tu as des questions n'hésite pas écrit moi. bonne chance et bonne route.

Bonjour Eva,
Au Maroc, rien à craindre au niveau sécurité sauf que tu seras "draguée" gentiment par les jeunes marocains à moins que tu manifeste ton désaccord! Ici au Maroc, les hommes sont de "bons princes" pour "les femmes" ! Vous allez entendre le mot "Gazelle" partout et cela devra vous "flatter".
Avec une belle bagnole, ça sera une cérise sur le gâteau! Ah, moi aussi, je peux pas me retenir de te "draguer" gazelle!!
Pour la route de France au Maroc, je confirme ce qu'a dit "Linkke", il faut se joindre à un groupe pendant la traversée de l'Espagne jusqu'au Maroc, pour mieux se sentir en sécurité et pour vous assister en cas de panne!
Bonne route et un joli séjour au Maroc!

bonjour.je pars 2 fois par an en voiture (clim et cd);seul via l espagne :aucun propleme .vaut mieux prendre 1hotel en espagne avec garage .une voiture qui n attire pas l attention ne sera jamais volee.bcp de radars vers bordeaux et au maroc(mets qqs billets de 50 dh DS la boite a gants;tu en auras besoin)bonne route .ps :cigarettes ; essence et tapas moins chere en espagne)
pourquoi aller au maroc avec une " tres belle voiture " ? ce n'est pas utile a mon humble avis de faire envie a la population sauf si tu tiens a te faire remarquer............
Bonjour,
J'ai jamais fais la route France-Maroc, mais on entend de temps à autre des incidents sur la route en Espagne (agression des voyageurs solitaires et des familles; des faux barrages...etc.). C'est pas fréquent, mais ces incidents se concentrent l'été, pendant le retour des ouvriers marocains de l'étranger!
Pour les radars, il y a aussi au Maroc! la gendarmerie dispose de petits radars portatifs et choisis des endroits-pièges comme des virages..! mais les voyageurs et surtout les chauffeurs marocains se donnent aussi des avertissements avec des gesticulations et des jeux de lumière :phare-code pour alerter les autres de la présence d'un radar, un barrage, un risque... il faut être vigilant aux autres chauffeurs qui vous croisent et aussi alerter les autres!
A mon avis, il est recommandable pour un chauffeur solitaire de se joindre à un groupe de véhicules avant de traverser les longues routes, à moins qu'il ne soit un professionnel ou dispose d'une puissante véhicule!

bonjour
" une belle voiture "??
🤪 elle a : un volant? des pédales? un moteur?? ok donc c'est une vraie voiture 😉
pardonne moi l'humour, mais au maroc il y a aussi de très belles voitures
je suis rentrée du maroc samedi dernier, j'ai fait le trajet seule depuis tours, donc environ deux heures et demi de moins que toi tu auras sur ce trajet
c'est faisable surtout si tu as une bonne resistance physique, genre 18 à 20h sans avoir besoin de bcp dormir
je suis chauffeur routier et bien sûr c'est peut être plus facile
en gros voilà mes conseils, ils ne sont que ma réalité
je suis partie de tours vers 22h30 pour rouler de nuit en france et peu en espagne, j'ai dormi environ 30mn avant bayonne sur un parking avec bcp de poids lourd, symboles de sécurité pour moi qui suis "dans le métier"
après traversée de l'espagne sans interruption, juste pour le carburant jusqu'à tarifa, arrivée à tarifa à 16h45, et bateau pour tanger à 18h15, arrivée à tanger à 19h15 heure france, donc 17h15 heure maroc, et là ouf après les formalités de douane, dodo dans un hôtel à tanger avant de reprendre la route le lendemain matin
c'est pour moi la meilleure formule et la plus rapide
si tu as dessdoutes sur ta résistance, au km 288 après madrid, tu as une station de repos pour routier, à guarrroman, c'est la station ANDAMUR là il y asmême possibilité ( payant bien sur) de se doucher,
n'aies pas peur, c'est faisable
au maroc, la circulation est un peu " sportive" mais bon on y arrive
contacte moi en mp si tu veux plus de détails
ah si important au maroc il y a bcp de barrages de police, le mode d'emploi c'est :
premier panneau, ralentir jusqu'au deuxième panneau où là, il est impèratif de s'arrèter jusqu'à ce que le policier donne l'accord pour rouler, et là un petit signe de tète en remerciement est facultatif, mais ne fais de mal à personne 😏
contacte moi en mp je répondrai le meux possible à tes questions de "femme" 😉
salut eva,
pour ton voyage en fsrance tu ne crains rien, mais reste comme meme vigilante dans les arrets aux stations service, n'oublie jamais que tu es seule et que les "gens" le voient. fais en sorte de te garer à proximité des boutiques ou a la lumiere (si c'est la nuit) et ne laisse aucuns effets a vu des "gens" des fenetres de ta voiture. planque tout avant de prendre la route. meme tes papiers, ne garde sur toi que l'argent des peages et de la monnaie pour café, gateaux, chips etc...dans une sacoche sous tes vetements. crois moi j ai 26 ans de voyage paris-tanger derriere moi. c'est pas pour te faire peur, mais vault mieux etre prudente. pour l'espagne ne voyage surtout pas la nuit, je te le deconseil 😮 !!!! et dans les stations services les vols ne regresses pas au contraire. j'ai assisté a des aggressions, vols.... souvent des femmes. pas plus tard que l'ete dernier a l'allé, nous sommes partient ( a 2 voitures mon mari et moi et l autre mon frere et ma soeur) le 14 juillet donc c'etait le 15 juillet. une femme seul a bord d'un petit camion "trafic" avec en plus de sa une remorque, mais cette "cretine" c'est garer sur le coté entre 2 poids lourds alors qu'elle a laissé des familles garé un peu plus loin qui etaient en train de manger ensemble. elle es sorti de son camion, c'est preparer un petit piq-niq (tjr entre les deux poids lourd, par terre) et la 2 gars son venu lui demander un peu de monnaie, gentil et naive elle se leve, laisse son sac a terre, quelle avait soignesement mit pres d'elle, et en un coup de vent, les voila a bord de leur bmw 325 année 95. le temps de reagir ils etaient deja sur l autoroute !
elle es arrivé vers nous en pleur paniqué, on avaient compris de tte facon une fois avoir entendu la bmw demarer en trombe et elle arrivée vers nous les bras en l'air et des larmes pleins les yeux. que pouvait elle faire ? demarer elle aussi a vive allure avec son trafic et sa remorque ? tout son argent et surtout ses papiers volatilisés! elle venait d'holland la pauvre.... bref la responsable du café a apellé la police mais bon, on sait tous qu'il n'en feront rien. y'a de cela quelques années, le soir, une maman au volant de sa mercedes 190 break !!! avec tte sa famille, entre a font la caisse dans la station service (tjr en espagne) elle sort de la voiture, toute cabossé sur le coté gauche, completement affolée, paniqué, elle venait de tenir tete a des agresseurs qui voulaient qu'une chose, la tamponner jusqu'a ce que la voiture se retourne et qu'ils puissent par la suite faire leur courses. elle a du rester dormir sur place a attendre que le jour se leve. alors en aucun cas ne conduit la nuit, meme pour les hommes. fait attention, t'es une femme, seule, au volant d'une belle voiture (c'est quoi comme modele) t'es la proie revé. mais j'espere que je ne te fais pas peur, je veux juste te tenir au courant pour que tu sois tres prudente. nous on y es toujours allé on a jamais eu de probleme. mais bon on avaient comme meme des voitures puissantes, et on pour te montrer qu on es prudent, bien qu on soit 2 mon mari et moi on part tjr avc mon frere, donc a 2 voitures. y a un autre souci dont certaines personnes parle, c'est les faux barrages. cela si on en croisent, on ne saient pas comment reagir. si c'est des vrai et que tu t'arrete pas, ils tirent et que si c'est des faux et que tu t'arrete, tu l'as dans l'os. dans les deux cas t'es cuit. je sais qu il ya tjr un endroit qui ressort tjr dans les discussions mais je ne m en souvien pas, c'est soit peu apres madrid soit peu avant. pour mes conseils conduits prudement, le jour, dort la nuit pres des plusieurs familles de france, allemagne, belgique, hollande c'est pas le choix qui manque. si tu fais attention tt ira bien. et pour ceux qui te dise qu'au maroc y a des belles voitures, que pourquoi est ce que tu enmenes une" belle voiture", si c'est pour te la raconter !!! sa ma choqué, donc maintenant si a la base tu as une belle voiture, et ben si tu vas au MAROC, et pour que ces "gens" ne disent pas que tu te la raconte, tu devrais y aller en super 5 !!!! et laisser ta "belle voiture" au garage!!! je sais pas mais faut reflechir avant de faire se genre de commentaire.
voila, si tu as plus de questions tiens moi au courant, j'espere que je ne t'es pas enlevé l'envie d'y aller. si j'ai l occasion d'y aller seule, j'irais sans probleme.
Bonjour!
Est ce que tu es déja partie?
J'ai 25 ans et je souhaite aussi partir de Paris au Maroc en voiture, et ça m'angoisse un peu.
Peut-être pourrions nous partir ensemble?
J'ai également une voiture presque neuve et confortable.
Tiens moi au courant!
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
