Brésil pour l'été: bons plans et travail English translation pending
Salut tout le monde, je suis du Québec. Les études m'ont mis à bout de nerfs et je veux relaxer à "bas pris" cet été. Je n'ai jamais fait de voyage important donc je suis un peu perdu dans tout ça, j'aimerais avoir des "témoignages" de personnes qui, comme moi, ont décidé de partir très loin sur un coup de tête. Du même coup, il serait intéressant de partir avec quelqu'un pour partager l'expérience. Une jeune québécoise ou un québécois intéressant serait une bonne compagnie, je suis un gars très authentique et amusant. Je souhaite avoir des réponses relatives à l'argent que je dois prévoir pour un voyage de 2-3 mois et s'il peut être envisageable de trouver un emploi la-bas, je suis étudiant en Technologie physique.
Merci à l'avance!😕

Solidarité internationale en Afrique? English translation pending
Bonjour,
Je pense partir fin juin et pour trois mois (et plus si...) vers un pays d'Afrique et, sur place, contacter les ONGs présentes. J'avais pensé au Nigéria mais je n'y ai "vu", pour l'instant, que la Croix-Rouge / Croissant-Rouge. Sans doute un peu trop tendu.
Autre idée ? Ceci me permettrait de mettre un pied dans la solidarité internationale * (logistique, administation, informatique (système (Windows et Linux, bureautique (excel, word, access))) et de poursuivre ensuite dans cette voie où je me sentirai plus utile que dans mon métier actuel (lequel n'est pas déplaisant, mais...).
Merci de vos conseils
Jacques
* Sinon, formation Bioforce (ce qui m'amènerait à être opérationnel à 54 ans...).

Flying with Saudi Arabia and war in the Middle East
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Which airline for Seoul?
Hi there,
When I run searches on Skyscanner, I see that only Lufthansa has flights to Seoul with just one stop. Air France doesn’t show up, even though I thought the French airline served Seoul? I can’t even log into the Air France website—it keeps glitching.

Issue with flights to Cambodia with a layover in Bangkok
we have flights with Swiss and Lufthansa for January; our flights are still in our booking file. But after reading that the Cambodian ambassador in Paris advised against transiting through Bangkok (which is our case), I reached out to the airlines to potentially change our ticket via Singapore. However, both companies have canceled all flights to Cambodia, regardless of the day or airport. We’ll have our contact on the ground call us on Monday to figure out what to do, especially since no insurance covers war, conflict, etc. If anyone else is in the same situation with an upcoming departure, we can exchange tips
KLM: rerouted without notice!
Hi there,
This afternoon I had a flight at 5:10 PM to Amsterdam from Nice (final destination: Berlin). I arrived at the airport a little before 3:00 PM and saw that the flight was now leaving at 6:30 PM. I went to the counter to point out that I wouldn’t have time to make my connection, and they told me I’d be spending the night in Amsterdam.
When the agent checked her computer, she saw that I’d been put on a flight with another airline and asked if I hadn’t received an email.
In the end, I had to change terminals and leave at 7:05 PM with Swiss Airlines, then Air Baltic.
Just to clarify, I checked in less than 24 hours ago for both KLM flights (Nice-Amsterdam and Amsterdam-Berlin) where I had seats assigned. I checked my emails carefully, and I was never notified!
Luckily, the Swiss Airlines flight left later—otherwise, at 3:00 PM, I wouldn’t have had time to check in (I have a checked bag), and I don’t know how I would’ve proven I never got an email. Also, thankfully, I went to the counter much earlier than planned for the 6:30 PM departure.
In the end, I was lucky because with KLM, I would’ve lost a whole day. And it’s a good thing I always travel for at least two full weeks because I’ve often lost a day due to delays—I wouldn’t do that for a week or a weekend getaway...
This is the first time this has happened to me, but there’s a first time for everything!

One of the Last Jazz Giants
One of the last jazz giants
He played with legends like John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis: Jack DeJohnette was one of the most important jazz drummers of his generation. In late October, the American drummer, pianist, and composer passed away at the age of 83.
With his fluid style, exceptional musicality, and incredibly diverse repertoire, DeJohnette was one of the most sought-after drummers in music history. Blues, bebop, hard bop, soul jazz, and jazz-rock: few have mastered as many different styles as he did. Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Sun Ra, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Keith Jarrett, Chet Baker, George Benson, and Herbie Hancock—the list of artists and stars he collaborated with is impressive. Starting in the 1970s, he also became the regular drummer for the German label ECM. In their Munich studios, he recorded numerous albums such as Special Edition (with David Murray and Arthur Blythe), Song X (with Ornette Coleman, Pat Metheny, and Charlie Haden), and New Directions (with John Abercrombie and Lester Bowie)—as a sideman, leader, or under his own name.
"I’m a color artist," this purebred musician once said in an interview. He played the drums "like a painter applying pastels, oils, and watercolors." This free spirit of jazz blended and integrated countless influences and sounds. He explored the electric guitar and synthesizer, as well as New Age and African music...
Few other artists have managed to incorporate sounds from all musical genres and make their drums resonate like he did. As a child, he listened to all kinds of music without ever categorizing them. He had listened to operas, country and western music, rhythm and blues, swing, and jazz, as he recounted in interviews. To him, it was all just music—and it was all amazing.
Jack DeJohnette was born on August 9, 1942, in Chicago. From ages 4 to 14, he played the piano before switching to drums in high school and studying music. One of his role models was jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal (1930–2023), a child prodigy and idol to generations of musicians. His career began in 1966 in New York. He played in saxophonist John Coltrane’s ensemble, then in Charles Lloyd’s quartet, which also included the young pianist Keith Jarrett. His fame took off when Miles Davis invited him to replace Tony Williams in his group, where he stayed for three years. He can be heard on the groundbreaking double album Bitches Brew, released in 1970, which marked a turning point in jazz and rock history and the rise of a new genre: jazz-rock or fusion. He also contributed to Davis’ album A Tribute to Jack Johnson (1971, with John McLaughlin). In the 1980s, he formed a legendary trio with pianist Keith Jarrett and bassist Gary Peacock. One of the trio’s most important albums is undoubtedly Bye Bye Blackbird, a tribute to trumpeter Miles Davis, who passed away in 1991 and whom DeJohnette had played with between 1968 and 1971.
DeJohnette’s musicality was considered rare among jazz drummers. Since he also played piano, he always heard harmonies, melodies, and rhythms when playing drums. Westerners don’t typically view drums as a melodic instrument but rather as accompaniment. For him, however, they were a tool for playing melodies.
Between freedom, elegance, and rhythmic ingenuity, he leaves behind an immense legacy.

Brussels-Da Nang flight with layover in Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific
Hi there,
I just booked a round-trip flight from Brussels to Da Nang on eDreams, with a layover in Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. Does anyone know the check-in procedure for these flights?
1) For flight CX294 BXL-HKG, I’ll need to check in on the Cathay Pacific website,
2) For the next flight CX5552 HKG-DAD, what should I do? I only have a 2h25 layover. Will I need to collect my luggage, go through immigration, and then recheck in at the airport counter, etc.?
I’m pretty worried about this layover—I thought check-in could be done on the airline’s website and that my luggage would be transferred automatically during the layover, like with most other airlines...
Thanks so much for any help from those who’ve been in this situation!

Who's joining me in Kerala from December 2 to 26, 2025? Departure from Nice
Hello Everybody,
I already have my flight ticket—departing from Nice on December 2 at 12:30 PM and returning on December 26 at midnight—for southern India... (gorgeous!)
I’ve been creating my travel journals for 15 years, and this one is ready too. The guesthouse and hotel (few) reservations are made... The itinerary is super nice...
And the Christmas festivities to see as well!
Unfortunately, due to health issues, my travel companion had to cancel this trip.
So, I’m looking for someone just like her... and like me. Fun, easygoing, friendly, and funny.
Someone who loves to laugh, who’s okay with transportation (buses, trains, rickshaws (tuk-tuks), bikes (very little... just on an island))...
Who’ll leave their worries at home, has no health issues, and enjoys going out during the day and in the evening for a drink.
I’ll get my visa this month... If someone is interested and decides quickly, we could definitely be on the same flight... I’ll obviously show you my itinerary...
No need to reach out if you’re indecisive or just curious—thanks for understanding... With less than three months until departure, we need to move fast...
The trip is all set...
23 nights on-site, flight ticket, visa, excursions, food, etc.—budget around 2600 €. Not bad, right?
On the agenda: various visits, endless rice fields and tea plantations, beaches, markets, chilling sometimes—in short, pure happiness.
People with difficult personalities or who are easily annoyed (lol) are excluded... Just someone nice who loves to have fun and live peacefully!
I work on my travel journals for 4 months, so this is about making the trip a success and being happy... I’ve been creating my own itineraries for 15 years...
My itinerary is ready... If you’re sure you can be free for the entire stay from December 2 to 26 (I’m not ruling out a travel companion), everyone will have their own room for the whole trip—I’ve booked everything accordingly...
A passport valid for at least 6 months after the return date is mandatory!
I managed to get a round-trip flight ticket for 580 € with very little waiting time (1.5 and 2.5-hour layovers... (Iberia operated by Qatar... With a bit of luck, we could be on the same flight).... I’ll apply for my visa online by the end of September... So, be sure of yourself so we can meet up quickly and possibly validate our visas together and book your flight ticket...
Welcome,
Caroline

Updated info on Jordan-Egypt ferries: Aqaba - Taba
Hi everyone,
Since I had trouble finding up-to-date info, here’s an update on some key points for Jordan/Egypt ferries as of August 2025.
Right now, AB Maritime is the only company still operating ferries. Other companies sometimes mentioned (Jordan Sinaï Hotel and Tour, Sinaï Ferry, etc.) have stopped running (no response by phone or email, and confirmed on-site).
On the Jordanian side, the fast ferry doesn’t leave from the port of Aqaba but from Tala Bay (20 km further south). There’s supposedly a slow ferry that departs in the evening from Aqaba port (according to a taxi driver), but I couldn’t find any info about it.
Currently, there’s one ferry per day in each direction for Aqaba/Taba and another for Aqaba/Nuweiba. But the schedules aren’t great for backpackers—and they’re not the same every day.
On the Jordanian side at Tala Bay, you access the port by walking through a large resort, go through border control before boarding the ferry (+ luggage check). You have to pay the exit tax of 10 JOD (12 €) to "someone sitting on a bench in front"!!! It’s true—you need to ask who to pay, or customs won’t let you through without the magic coupon. Oddly, I arrived early and managed to take a different ferry than the one I’d booked online by insisting (it wasn’t open for online reservations). I bought the ticket on the AB Maritime website. Confirmation by email was brief. Then you have to find another person outside the port who has the passenger list and will give you the actual ticket. (What a joy this organization is!) Luckily, everyone’s really friendly with tourists.
On the Egyptian side, arrival in Taba isn’t in Taba itself but at Taba Heights (20 km further south), in a hotel zone. Immigration can be more or less quick depending on your place in the queue at the single office... (free Sinai visa or paid Egypt visa). And outside... nothing. Nothing: no exchange bureau, no ATM, no drink or SIM vendor... A nightmare. No bus station. One or two taxis at prohibitive prices. Personally, I walked about fifteen minutes to the Strand Hotel to find someone who could actually help me (ATM out of service in that big resort). From there, two bus companies currently operate: Webus in small vans but you have to book at least 2 days in advance (frequent, fast, reasonable prices) or GoBus with large buses (only one per day, even cheaper). They head south to Nuweiba, Sharm El Sheikh, etc. A taxi from Taba to Sharm was quoted at 120 USD at the port exit!
For me, the ferry and GoBus schedules didn’t align at all. If I’d known about Webus earlier, I could’ve saved 6 hours of waiting...
On another note, a Taiwanese traveler I met also mentioned that the Hurghada-Sharm El Sheikh ferry is no longer running.
Basically, these border crossings and ferries are more suited to organized tours than backpackers, but it’s still doable.

Nothing: no exchange bureau, no ATM, no drink or SIM vendor... A nightmare. No bus station. One or two taxis at prohibitive prices. Personally, I walked about fifteen minutes to the Strand Hotel to find someone who could actually help me (ATM out of service in that big resort). From there, two bus companies currently operate: Webus in small vans but you have to book at least 2 days in advance (frequent, fast, reasonable prices) or GoBus with large buses (only one per day, even cheaper). They head south to Nuweiba, Sharm El Sheikh, etc. A taxi from Taba to Sharm was quoted at 120 USD at the port exit!
For me, the ferry and GoBus schedules didn’t align at all. If I’d known about Webus earlier, I could’ve saved 6 hours of waiting...
On another note, a Taiwanese traveler I met also mentioned that the Hurghada-Sharm El Sheikh ferry is no longer running.
Basically, these border crossings and ferries are more suited to organized tours than backpackers, but it’s still doable.
Help with Bangkok flight on Oman Air
Hi, I’m looking for a solution for my flight—I’ll explain my situation.
I live in the French overseas territories, so I have a flight from St. Martin to Orly. Early September is cyclone season. If there’s an alert or cyclone, my flight could be postponed.
I’m considering connecting with a flight from CDG to Bangkok. I’d have to buy my second flight as open-ended, otherwise I’d lose it—it’s not the same airline. I found a good price on Oman Air, Economy Comfort option. Change fees are only 20 OMR—basically nothing. Then there’s the option for a paid upgrade: would that mean the price gets adjusted on the day of the flight?
If I’ve made myself clear, do you have any other solutions? Please—thanks!

Tips for visiting around Casablanca
Hi there!
I’m heading to Casablanca for 15 days in October 2025—what do you recommend?
Rabat sounds interesting—what about Rabat? Fez?
I’m also really into nature—what are the closest gorges?
Is train travel easy?
I’ll be staying with a friend but I’d love to explore solo. I’m 61, blonde with blue eyes—is that an issue?
Thanks!

Montpellier-Fez flight canceled by Air Arabia: group action?
My Montpellier-Fez flight was canceled by Air Arabia and rescheduled with only 1 day on site instead of 4, making the trip pointless. Customer service is unresponsive. If you’re also affected by this flight (or a similar one), join me to consider a group action. Contact me here or via DM! #AirArabia #PassengerRights
Questions about inter-island transport and currency exchange in Cape Verde
Hello,
I just booked the flight tickets for two people. We arrive on July 21st in the afternoon in São Vicente and will leave again on August 11th from Praia.
I was thinking of staying around 4 days in Mindelo to explore São Vicente using shared aluguers. Then take the boat to Santo Antão, stay there for about five days to do different hikes, staying in Ponta do Sol. After that, it gets a bit tricky—we’ll return by boat to São Vicente to reach São Nicolau. I wanted to know when the ferry leaves in terms of days and times? Or the plane? We’ll stay there for about four days, then take the ferry or plane to Santiago. Same question—what days does the ferry leave and at what time? Or the plane? Finally, we’ll end our trip in Santiago; I’m thinking of staying in Tarrafal. I also wanted to know where in São Vicente we can exchange euros for Cape Verdean escudos. I was planning to use shared aluguers for all our travel.
Thanks in advance for your answers—I’ll probably have more questions later. Nolwenn

Luggage and bikes during layovers in Lima
I’m planning to take Air France from Paris to Trujillo with my 2 bikes in boxes. I have a layover in Lima and a change to LATAM Airlines for Trujillo.
On the way back, it’s Santa Cruz in Bolivia via Lima (LATAM Airlines) and then Air France to Paris. During the layovers in Lima, do I need to collect my luggage and the bike boxes and re-check them for the second flight? It’s really hard to get through to Air France for this kind of question.
