je vis a Saint-Nazaire, dans le 44 (la ou on construit les gros bateaux!!), j'ai 24 ans, et plus le temps passe et plus j'ai envie de quitter la France.J'ai dans l'optique de partir au Quebec, mon metier y est pas mal recherché (je suis métallier-soudeur) et je pourrai trouver le niveau de vie que je recherche.
Le seul "hic", c'est ma chenne...c'est une american staffordshire terrier
etant donné que c'est ma chienne, et que n'etant pas un monstre je ne partirai pas sans elle, je voudrais savoir si quelqu'un a deja été dans ma situation et pourrais me renseigner sur les modalités et les exigences du voyage et du pays d'arrivé!?
Cela risque d'être difficile, à moins que ta chienne, tu ne l'as mettalo.
D'un autre coté, cela risque d'être coté sous, dur 🤪.
Il te reste la solution illégale, mais là, tu risques de finir en tole😕
Si tu acceptes de faire de son corps, don, tu peux la transférer en plusieures passes.
L'important pour ne pas te faire entuber, est que tu mènes cette affaire à la baguette, ceci afin de ne pas te faire rouler.
RRRaaa...l'angoisse!!decouper ma louloutte au cutter pour passer la douane...🤪
merci pour le lien, c'est assez clair.ca n'a plus l'air trop galère pour emmener ses animaux, c'est cool...reste a savoir combien ca coute!!!
Par contre on m'a dit que cette race de chien était plus ou moin contreignante selon la ville (museliere ou pas museliere!), quelqu'un peut m'eclairer la dessus?et apparement les proprietaire d'appartements ne sont pas fans d'animaux...y a t'il des sites, ou des organismes qui s'occupent de ce genre de transfert?savoir ou on dors c pas mal nan??
Fiuuu... là côté Quebec c'est l' ornière! loll
Les lois y sont assez strictes concernant les chien-chiens...quelque soit la race de toute façon en ville les gens ont peur dès qu'il y a un chien sur le trottoir🤪
La laisse est obligatoire y compri dans un parc, donc pour les instants de liberté folichons de ta louloute...tu repasseras!...et ce même dans les bois...pour un Français c'est bizare, mais c'est comme ça...
Pour la museliere je ne sais pas, je n'avais qu'un Golden et un husky ça à juste l'air plus cute lol
Obligatoire aussi de ramasser et d'emporter ses petits cacas ensachés dans du plastique...sinon c'est la révolution assurée! loll
Si elle aboie, ah là ayoye! ça va brasser dans le voisinage...
Bref loll un chien ça ne doit presque pas être un chien! loll alors bon courage...
Côté boulot, étant donné tes qualif. si tu veux vraiment gagner de l'argent rends-toi en Alberta (boum du pétrole) ou fais-toi recruter par des entreprises qui travaille assez loin dans le Nord, les villes du toit du monde vont sans aucun doute vivre un boum économique du à la fonte des glaces et les nvelles routes maritimes du passage du Nord/Ouest... BONNE CHANCE😉
...hum...le coté francais des quebecois se ressent dans l'attitude avec les toutous...pourquoi tant de prise de tete pour si peu???
Je pensai pas que c'etait aussi reglementé...
je suis au courant pour l'Alberta, mais bon...si jamais je compte y aller, je vais au moin attendre un hiver au Quebec avant d'aller m'enfoncer dans la banquise...pis c'est pas sur que ca plaise a ma copine et a mes zanimox!!!(j'y ai deja penssé...😄).Pis bon, le changement super-radical...pas sur de supporter!
Sinon, je regardai une carte de Montreal pour les locations, mais par contre je ne sais pas dans quel quartier regarder...il y a surement des quartiers riches et moin riches?mieux a vivre que d'autres...enfin bref...en gros je sais pas ou je pourrai me poser...je suis pas riche, pas pauvre, on va dire que j'essaye de m'en sortir.Ici on paye un loyer de 550euros pour 40m2, une maison.A quoi je dois m'attendre au quebec?? ou est-ce que je dois regarder?quelle villes?j'aimerai etre proche de la ville, tout en etant trankil avec un minimum de nature...
Les loyers sont moins cher qu'en France en regle general...
Par contre les salaires y sont inferieurs à niveau de vie comparable...
Adieu les 5 semaines de vacance par an, la 1ere année pas de vacance du tout loll ça va te faire drôle! l'année d'après 1 semaine grand max deux par an de toutes manières... par contre si tu bosses dans la construction, tu ne travailleras qu'une partie de l'année à cause de l'hiver.
J'oubliais...tu seras aussi pas mal corvéable à merci question horaire, ainsi un employeur n'hesitera pas à te pêter ta grâsse mat. du samedi aux aurores s'il en a besoin et ce sera bien difficile de dire non lol
Les salaires sont aussi payables aux 15 jours les loyers suivent souvent
A mon avis étant donné que tu arrives, il est preferable pour toi de te poser à Mtrl (plus cosmopolite) plutôt qu'à Quebec...car la mentalité de ce pays n'est pas tjrs évidente pour nous Français...et Quebec affiche un gros penchant pour le "conservatisme" les quartiers de Mtrl, humm... tout dépends ...du côté de Pie IX, ce sera populaire mais corecte, du côté de Verdun ou Ville Lasalle ce sera tranquile...
Le Plateau embourgeoisé, Westmount plutôt très très bien loti lol
Un quartier cependant peut-être interressant en ce moment autour du M° Atwater
A voir..
Le côté dont tu parles, non ils ne l'ont pas, ce serait plutôt un trait du très politiquement correcte à tout bout de champs, mais, tu le verras par toi même, tu vas arriver dans une société très Americanisée d'une part, avec également une vrai tendance au pragmatisme type pays du Nord de l'Europe le tout avec un soupçon Latin
mais par rapport à nous, juste un soupçon...
Par contre, et je pense qu'il faut déjà que tu le saches au risque d'être bien déçu, les Quebecois n'aiment pas franchement les Français (histoire de complexes et complexité de l'histoire) ...c'est assez répandu et ça peut être parfois un pblème...
Derniere petite chose, si tu as des petits trucs medicaux à faire avant de partir (dentiste, ophlalmo, gyneco pour ta copine etc...) cours y vite, parce que labas ouch!
financierement c'est le délire et le systhème de santé est assez déplorable à bien des niveau...( et dire qu'on se plaint ici)...bref fais tout ce que tu peux avant de partir...
Côté nouriture, tu peux survivre si tu évites les viandes qui ne sont pas de la viande, certains fromages qui n'en sont pas non plus, le lait qui a tourné en eau tant il est écrêmé, le pain qui sent les produits chimique lol si tu t'adaptes aux toasts matin, midi, soir et si tu te trouves surtout un bon filon pour le gibier sauvage, que tu ne trouveras malheureusement nulle part en magasin puisque interdit à la vente🤪 et oui! la parano bactéries plâne partout comme aux US lol
Tu auras des manques de bonne bouffe c'est sure et certain loll conseilles à ta mère de prendre un abonnement chez Colissimo!... 😉
ok...bah, certaines choses sont un peu contradictoires avec ce que j'ai pu lire ou entendre mais merci.pis le coup de pas avoir de vacances...ca fait 5 ans que j'en ai pas pris...donc bon, ca me changera pas!!😕
et sinon, pour l'endroit ou se poser, on aimerai un coin assez "nature", tout en etant proche de la civilisation...ca existe aux alentours de Montreal?
Bof tu sais, je pense que la seule chose qui fera ton idée...c'est ton experience sur le terrain!😉 mais vaut mieux prevenir que guerir...
A 1h de Mtrl sur le Nord tu as Joliette par expl, un petit patelin paisible et verdoyant....
c'est clair...de toutes facons j'y vais, donc je verrai bien, mais c'est mieux d'avoir des avis différents...je saurai a quoi m'attendre.
sinon est-ce que tu connais un peu Les laurentides?
ca a l'air bien nanture pis apparement c'est a 1h de Montreal...ca va.
t'es au Quebec??t'y es allé??
Oui les Laurentides, un très chouete coin avec pistes de skis, le Mont Tremblant et cie, le seul hic, c'est que c'est souvent hors de prix, tout y est axé sur le tourisme, la villégiature
et les loisirs récreatifs destinés aux Mtrlais avec bon salaire...
De plus en hiver, pas sure que tu ne mettent qu'une heure à te rendre en ville et à en ressortir...
Sincerement je pense que le mieux c'est que tu commence par te louer un petit truc dans Mtrl pour quelques mois, puis une fois sur place avec la situation géographique de ton nouvel emploi, rechercher, et explorer les differents coins autour car je pense qu'il n' y a que comme ça que tu te rendras compte des distances
d'une part, puis des aléas comme les embouteillages etc... auquel on ne pense pas tjrs, dans l'idée qu'on se fait des choses de loin...
Autre chose, quand tu auras trouvé ton coin et que tu seras installé dans ta vie, cherche plutôt à acheter une maison, les tarifs ne sont pas très onéreux puisque contrairement à ici les maisons ne sont pas faites pour durer indefiniement (au bas mot pour une petite qui se tient compte 30 à 50 000$) puis une maison quand tu t'en vas, ça se revends😉
Oui j'ai passée du temps au Canada et Quebec sinon, crois tu que je te repondrais😇lol
non là je suis en France (Paris)
Je rêve de partir en voyage pas très loin, le maroc, car je veux découvrir ce pays, le problème c'est que je suis mariée, avec un enfant et que quand je parle…
Depuis de nombreuses années, mon compagnon et moi voyageons toujours ensemble (principalement en Asie). De plus, nous avons de tout temps travaillé ensemble.…
Ce message n'est pas une blague, certains diraient fake news, et a quelque chose de symbolique. Ce matin, depuis la Californie, une fusée saturne V a envoyé…
Traveling by plane between Southern Corsica and Paris? Whether it's a one-time trip or regularly, accompany one of our kittens during the journey to their forever home. The repatriation of our rescued street kittens is made possible thanks to travelers like you. No worries: you'll be guided every step of the way to complete this mission.
The in-cabin pet ticket is covered by our association, and reimbursement for expenses is possible (depending on the kitten's drop-off location, so let's discuss this beforehand).
Available and motivated to make this one-way trip with a cat and change their life?

Many of us have noticed that bugs have been making it difficult to navigate the forum lately.
I’ll let Kate and Ticapi explain the issue:
I went to your profile to check out the Thailand travel journal, and when I clicked on it, it brought me back here again. All week, I’ve been dealing with bugs like this—it’s really discouraging from continuing on VF.🙁
I had the same thing happen, and multiple times. For me, it was Montagnard’s latest journal that kept coming up no matter which discussion I clicked on.
Hi everyone, fellow travelers!
I’m looking for anyone who’s in Kyoto or planning to visit Nishiki Market! Here’s the thing: during our trip there in April, we discovered a jewelry artisan (highly recommended!) on the left when exiting through the west exit of Nishiki Market (which is a long covered east-west street). I bought a piece of jewelry for my daughter there, but she lost it. I’d love to buy her another one! In the photo, it’s the shop with the yellow awning to the right of the restaurant with the blue awning, "Sushi Sakai." Would any kind soul be willing to get the shop’s name, email, or phone number for me? Despite my Google/AI searches, it’s nowhere to be found. A thousand thanks to whoever can help me out! Wishing you all great vacations!

Hello everyone! 🙂🙂,
A BIG thank you to all the travelers who sent us postcards this year—my students are becoming real geography whizzes!!!!!!!! I’m renewing my call for your kindness this year! We’re also working on food, so if your postcards can make our mouths water with local dishes, traditional meals, or typical recipes, that’d be amazing!!
Here’s a quick recap of the project:
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globetrotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse, working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m starting a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of the journal will focus on opening up to the world, diversity, travel, countries, culture...
I’m launching a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a little postcard (from France or anywhere in the world!) to take us on a journey and help us discover new places, countries, and horizons—much more fun and exciting than a regular geography textbook! One section of our journal could be called "We received mail from " and would be an opportunity to research that location and share what we learn with our readers (a super enriching activity in class).
The project starts in September 2025 but has no real end date, as this journal and world discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in my ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! (The kids will find them when they return.)
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow traveler friends. Make us dream, take us on a journey!!!
For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!!
Thank you in advance for your participation(s)! Below is our address. Feel free to leave your own address on a corner of the postcard if you’d like us to write back! 😊

Regarding the amount of tobacco you can buy during a trip in the European Union and bring back to France, we can't really talk about a "duty-free allowance," because the rules around how much tobacco you can bring back to France aren't straightforward at all under French law.
BOLIVIA: THE COUNTRY ON THE BRINK (What's Really Happening)
A dramatic saga is unfolding before our eyes in the Andes. Between suffocating blockades, clashes, an international airlift, and historic political decisions, Bolivia has just experienced 48 hours of rare intensity.
Here’s the full breakdown (economic, social, and political) of the last 48 hours:
For travelers and tourists: the article also includes an important note about the upcoming publication (starting tomorrow) of the precise status of roadblocks, route by route.
I’ll post the full update here on Voyage Forum!
Don’t miss this in-depth analysis. History is being written before our eyes! https://www.petitherge.com/bolivie-paralysie-et-ultimatum
I just discovered a great show on Arte.
It's called "7 en route": seven young European journalists travel around Europe in a fully converted bus, making reports on every city they visit. It's amazing! 🙂
Yesterday, for example, they were in Rome, Italy, and the reports included things like the world's smallest restaurant—a super romantic spot for two. There was also a report on the king of paparazzi in Italy.
They have to pick topics that let us discover the little quirks of each country. And at the end of each episode, we get to see the finished report.
It's such a great show, mixing journalism, travel, and discovery—basically, a must-watch!
It airs in the evening starting at 6:50 PM (I think), and it started this past Monday, July 14th.
If you watch it, let me know—we can chat about it!
I left my heart’s country eight days ago and returned to my adopted one—or was it the other way around? Scotland-Morvan, Morvan-Scotland, I’m not quite sure anymore.
After a quarter without dragging my slippers around here, even though I’d loudly declared I had no interest left in this site, here I am again!
My imagination never stays fallow for long. Just enough time for my inner land to rest. It gets overgrown with fresh nettles, the kind you can pick without getting stung. Then, it’s time to till the fragrant earth and let the story grow.
I hesitated over where to set this story.
Maybe the Highlands, maybe the Hebrides, maybe the Orkney Islands, maybe the Shetland Islands. All of Scotland is myth—easy to embroider.
But in the end, no. I’d almost be too afraid to bare my soul.
The story will take place at home. Simple, practical.
1)
This morning, I was up well before dawn, feeling a bit grumpy, but nothing a bowl of coffee won’t fix. I love my bowl, and no one dares take it. It’s porcelain, edged with intertwined blue flowers. On the bottom, it says "Revol." The factory has existed long before the Revolution. It was my great-grandmother’s bowl. She drank roasted barley from it during the war, then her Leroux chicory.
Last year, a little guy dropped it. My bowl broke into three pieces. A black anger vibrated deep inside me. The little boy was so upset, on the verge of tears. How could I scold him!
I picked up the three pieces and took Little Boy in my arms. His hair smelled of the light, sweet sweat of toddlers. A gentle hug that healed—his budding sorrow and my anger—everything vanished, and time carried on.
Today, my bowl is even prettier. Man fixed it using the traditional kintsugi technique, except he didn’t use gold powder or lacquer but superglue, and he delicately painted the cracks with woad blue. And my bowl is even more beautiful now.
I’m lingering, I can tell—it’s just that a story wraps itself in life, and life can’t be told in the snap of a finger. Life is long. Like in architecture, you start with a rough sketch, called a "sous-cul" (the initial pencil drawing), then you make a tracing, which is the work itself, the one you later carefully roll up in a wooden tube.
Life is like that: you erase, you start over, you use the nub of the pencil until it’s tiny, but you keep going—dreaming, loving.
"Living is a full-time occupation, a unique adventure. Always a surprise and a wonder, which sometimes turns into astonishment. And, from time to time, happiness."*
Alright, enough digressing—this introduction is definitely too long.
Tomorrow, I’ll get to the heart of the matter.
(I hate that expression; it feels like I’m cutting into someone’s skin.)
I’m Yann, a 28-year-old TikToker who loves traveling!
Since I’ve been to several destinations, I’d love to get a flag from each one as a sort of trophy. But from what I’ve seen online, a lot of sites sell them with what looks like really poor quality...
So I’m reaching out to you all to share a site you usually use—help me start my collection! :)
hi there
I’d love to get some opinions—I’ve never used Airbnb before.
They’re offering a key handover via lockbox.
Any tips or advice?
Is it reliable?
Best,
Hi there, I’m Laura, and I’m looking for a few people to answer some questions so I can understand your travel wishes and challenges. It won’t take long—I can chat here, by email, or by phone. Don’t worry, I’m not selling anything! 😊
On this forum, we talk a lot about trekking in the Himalayas, but I’d love to share another side of Nepal: its spiritual, cultural, and religious atmosphere, especially in Kathmandu.
Nepal, much like Tibet and Bhutan, is deeply connected to the Himalayas—the ultimate sacred mountain range. This small country exudes a calming vibe, shaped by a strong spiritual dimension. What I loved most was the unique sensory experience you get there. Walking around temples and tantric monasteries, a distinct scent fills the air—aromatic plants used for ritual fumigation. Locals mainly burn Himalayan juniper, cedar, sandalwood, and other local essences. This fragrant smoke is a way to purify the space and reach the deities, and you’re constantly enveloped in these aromas.
Another striking aspect is the sound. As soon as you step outside, you hear bells ringing in front of temples. People ring them three times before praying to announce their presence to the deities. Nepal is also the birthplace of singing bowls and sound meditation practices. In Kathmandu, you can easily find meditation sessions or "sound baths."
The spiritual dimension is everywhere: a Hindu sadhu practicing asceticism, a lama in deep red robes with his mala, turning a prayer wheel while murmuring "Om mani padme hum." Newar Buddhism, Tantrism, and Hinduism coexist harmoniously in daily life.
For those who love exploring a destination through its culture and spirituality, Nepal is an unforgettable place. What was your spiritual experience in Nepal like?
Hi,
I’m landing in Quebec and then heading to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I’d like to rent a pick-up. My question is: does this vehicle come with a cover and is it secure enough to store luggage in? I’ve heard two conflicting opinions. Thanks
I just installed the Maps.Me app on my phone. I only recently found out about this app. I’m traveling in 2 weeks and a few days, and I’m a bit stuck on how to use it.
I’m from the Montreal (Quebec) area, and I’d love to know if there’s a kind soul out there who could help me get started and use the app at least minimally.
If there are private lessons available, I’d be interested in those too.
Like many others, I’m overjoyed to hear that VoyageForum is reopening! I’ve been waiting hopefully for this, and it’s wonderful that it’s finally happening!
I just couldn’t bring myself to actively participate in other French-language travel forums—their format and way of doing things never appealed to me as much. I really hope that VF’s structure, categories, and interface won’t change too much despite the handover, because I’m very attached to them. Through thick and thin, the site has held strong—it’s amazing!
In a previous message, François mentioned that there were positions to fill ahead of the reopening, including moderators...
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this and hoping to send in my CV.
Now, after reading the latest message, it seems like the team is already fully formed. But are there still a few spots left to fill?
I’ve been a VF member for 20 years (since 2004). I’d love to contribute to this wonderful adventure as a moderator if VF would trust me with the role. If the team is open to reviewing it, I’m ready to send my CV. Could you let me know the next steps?
I’m planning a 3-week trip to Japan in May with Voyage Privé. The package includes a 5 GB eSIM, but my phone isn’t new enough to support it. VP told me I could buy a SIM card when I arrive at the airport.
Sure enough, I’ve seen online that this is possible with different providers.
I only need it for checking routes, looking up addresses, train schedules, etc.—basically using Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and similar apps. No heavy downloads or major internet use. All hotels should provide free Wi-Fi for that, right?
Has anyone got any tips for me on this? What have you tried, and how much did it cost?
Thanks for your help!
I’d like to know if you can buy reef-safe sunscreen sprays at 7-Eleven. If so, how much do they cost? We’re traveling with backpacks, so we’ll either buy 100ml here or in Thailand.
I wanted to share a really unpleasant experience from our last trip booked with Promoséjours and organized by FTI.
We booked an 8-day/7-night stay in Egypt, from June 8 to 15.
The flight initially scheduled was changed a week before departure to take off at 10 PM from Paris CDG.
In the end, it took off with a 1-hour delay and included an unmentioned stopover in Marsa Alam.
We landed in Hurghada at 4 AM and arrived at the hotel at 6 AM.
So, we spent our first night on the plane.
For the return trip, surprise—the flight was moved up. We left the hotel at 10:30 PM on Friday the 14th to take off at 2 AM and land at 7 AM at Paris CDG.
So, we spent our last night on the plane too.
After sending a complaint letter to Promoséjours / FTI, they replied that the first and last days can be dedicated to transport (which I already knew) and that no matter how many nights you book, you’re not guaranteed to spend them in the hotel—it could just as well be on the plane.
I’m really questioning this.
Isn’t there a law that protects customers in cases like this?
Because when I do the math, the first and part of the second day were spent on transport, same for the second-to-last and last day. And I paid for 7 nights for a stay that only lasted 5.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to them—thanks to their two sleepless nights in transit, I’m coming back even more exhausted from a trip that was supposed to be restful!
I also want to warn anyone booking through this agency about visas for Egypt.
At booking, they told me the visa was included in the price, then they sent me an email saying I’d have to pay for it on-site at 25 €.
Once there, we were directed to a special line for FTI customers, and guess what? They charged us 30 €!
Basically, they’re great at making sure you *enjoy* your vacation—mostly by enjoying your wallet!
If anyone has dealt with this kind of situation and won their case, I’m all ears.
Hi there!
I’m heading to Thailand for two months.
So I thought I’d get a Thai SIM card to use Google Maps for getting around cities, mostly.
Here’s my question: will this SIM affect my apps? Or will they work the same as with my Orange SIM?
Is there any setup I need to do, or can I just pop in the Thai SIM?
I’d also like to switch back to my Orange SIM now and then while I’m in Thailand—on the same phone. Will I need to reset the phone, or will it reconnect without any issues?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Best,
Huiclos
Hi, I’d like to know where we can buy beer or wine in Chefchaouen and around Merzouga. We’ll be doing a circuit and staying at the Parador Hotel in Chefchaouen and in a bivouac in Merzouga.
Thanks for any info you can share!
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globe-trotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m launching a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of this journal will focus on opening up to the world, embracing differences, travel, global cultures, and more.
I’m putting out a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a postcard (from France or anywhere in the world)! The goal is to help us "travel" and discover new places, countries, and horizons in a way that’s much more fun and exciting than a geography textbook. One section of our journal could be called "We received a letter from ," where we’d research the location and share what we learn with our readers—a really enriching activity for the classroom.
The project starts in September 2025 but doesn’t have a strict end date, since this journal and world-discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in the ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! The kids will find them when they return.
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible, and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow travelers. Help us dream and explore!
For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!

Hi there! I have to leave Ivato/Antananarivo on December 16th. I have a lot of ariary that I’d like to exchange for euros since I might not be coming back to Madagascar (after this 21st trip). I think the exchange office at Ivato also buys ariary back. If any of you have seen the rate for this buyback in advance, thanks a million!
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a website that would let me plot my travel route in advance so I can print it out. The idea is to create a map with a little “me” on a bike that my parents can move along as I progress, since I’m planning to cycle all the way to Nepal.
If any of you have done something similar or know of a good tool, I’d love to hear your tips!
Thanks in advance! 😊
I'm looking to buy an ultra-lightweight 50/55L travel backpack with a suitcase or front opening.
Does anyone have any brand and/or model recommendations?
Thanks,

Hello. We’re a retired couple heading to Sri Lanka from January to March. After the November floods, I’d like to know if we can offer hands-on help to the locals, maybe pack some clothes or other items people might need in our luggage, and who we could give them to. Thanks for any info from those on the ground.
