Amérique Centrale English translation pending
Salut à tous,
J'ai 4 mois devant moi pour faire un voyage en Amérique centrale. Je pars seul avec mon sac à dos. Je veux partir léger donc pas trop de chose dans mon sac. J'hésite à m'apporter une petite tente, je ne sais pas si cela serait essentielle. Aussi, j'aimerais m'apporter un appareil de cuisson, mais lequel conviendrait bien là bas, je ne sais pas. Parfois c'est difficile de trouver des bombonnes de propane adéquates.J'aimerais également apprendre le SURF et faire de la plongée sous-marine. Je veux des conseils/ commentaires de votre part sur ce coin de pays pour mieux planifier mon voyage.
Merci d'avance

Camping in the Dolomites
Hello everyone.
I'm looking for campsites around BOLZANO (South Tyrol) for early September.
I'll be on my motorcycle with a small tent.
I've noticed that some campsites have exorbitant prices.
If you've traveled through the Dolomites by motorcycle or otherwise and camped there, I'd love any tips on places and prices where I can stay for one night or several.
Thanks to all of you, and happy travels.
Compagnes de voyage à sac à dos pour Suède et Norvège été 2026 English translation pending
Bonjour à toi NelV,
Je me prénomme Raphaël, et suis âgé de 29 ans. Pour cet été, je suis également à la recherche d'une personne pour voyager à deux. A la base, je regardais l'Europe centrale, Italie du Nord, les lacs, l'Autriche, la Slovénie, voire la Hongrie. De plus, l'Europe du Nord, Norvège, Suède me tente aussi beaucoup mais on ne peut pas tout faire en même temps. Je suis prêt à faire ta connaissance pour un trip en Europe du Nord si cela te dit. Je suis disponible de mi-juillet jusqu'au 20 août, environ 5 semaines. A bientôt peut-être
Looking for a travel companion for Vietnam
Hi everyone, I’m heading to Vietnam and arriving in Da Nang on January 15, 2026, until February 3. I’m looking for someone to enjoy traveling, going out, and exploring Vietnam with. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate!
Is there any activity in Amphawa during the week?
Hello everyone!
First stop on our discovery of the peninsula: Amphawa. It’s our first night in Thailand (we arrived at Suvarnabhumi at 8:50 AM). Our initial plan was to explore the area before heading further south. The Mae Klong Railway Market is tempting... but what else is there to do???? We’ll be there on a Wednesday, and from what I’ve read on the forum, some say there’s absolutely nothing to do during the week—no floating market, barely any shops open, no restaurants, etc. Others, though, say the place is actually more charming without the weekend crowds.
Could you share your thoughts? Missing the floating market is one thing, but if it’s really a ghost town on Wednesdays, I might just drop our bags somewhere else. Amphawa seemed like a good first stop, just 1.5 hours from the airport, but I’d still like to settle somewhere a bit lively for our first evening. We’ll be there at the end of October. Thanks!

Which hikes should we prioritize in Cap Corse and the Agriates?
hi there,
I’m planning a trip around Cap Corse and the AGRIATES in 2026, from May 8th to 15th (there are still 2 spots left, by the way! Just DM me if you're interested).
I’d love to know which hikes are worth prioritizing in the AGRIATES. We’ll be staying in SALECCIA for two days as our base—what should we focus on from there? A round trip to IGNHU beach? Any other suggestions? For Ostricano, I think it’s too far for a round trip... Thanks for your tips! Have a great day, Anie, Toulouse

Planning a 15-day trip to northern Morocco
Hi there, 🙂
This autumn’s trip should be in Morocco—barring any geopolitical issues between now and then.
After many trips to the south of Fès, I’m giving the north a try.
My plan is roughly to do a road trip loop from Rabat back to Rabat, passing through Asilah, Tangier, Tétouan, Chefchaouen, Akchour, Fès, Meknès, and Volubilis.
That’s a lot of cities. Probably a bit too many for our taste—we usually prefer more isolated spots...
So I’m looking for tips on little backroads, secluded beaches, half-day hikes, and offbeat places.
If you’ve also got recommendations for accommodation... (We’re open to splurging over 100 € if it’s a real favorite.)
Feel free to think outside the box—this is an open-ended plan! !😉

Tokyo onsen or Hokkaido from Narita?
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!
Looking for an agency for a solo trip to Indonesian islands

Info on the Cederberg
Hello
Now that the Kruger part is (almost) wrapped up, I’m looking at the "Cape region" section.
The idea of spending 2 days (well, more like 2 nights and 1.5 days) in the Cederberg is really tempting 😎.
I’ve reread the posts about it—more or less (actually, more less than more)—and I still have quite a few questions: - Where’s the best area to stay? Initially, I was looking at Kagga Kama, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost (or the trip, for that matter), or maybe Mount Ceder? Or somewhere else (without driving 6 or 8 hours from CT 😉)? The plan is to get there in a sedan (if possible), see some beautiful landscapes, and do one or two hikes (nothing too tough 😛). - I read that you need a permit to hike there... where do you buy it? (At the entrance, like in Kruger? 🤪) - Is October a good time for the weather (theoretically...)?

Mapungubwe
Continuing the journey!
Waterberg to Mapungubwe.
The roads in this area aren’t great. I should’ve taken the N1 and gone via Musina... A massive storm on the road... 60 km away, hazard lights on...
Mapungubwe isn’t new to me, but I’d decided to try the western part, at Limpopo Tented Camp.
Upon arrival... “Sorry, a tree fell on one of the chalets...” “We’ll put you up for the first night at Leokwe, in the eastern part.” From what they said, it happened yesterday... but on-site, we saw it had actually been several months!
Sanparks’ management is still very much “outside usual standards.” There’s constantly work being done “haphazardly,” shoddily, poorly... And the welcome from staff really depends on the person and the day.
Oh well, no big deal—we’ll spend a night at Leokwe!
The eastern part “normally” doesn’t have lions... there are several spots where you can get out of the car... We saw general game, buffaloes, elephants... leopards (yes, see another travel journal), and now possibly cheetahs in the far eastern section. Our friend Montagnard had asked me (following another discussion) if I knew any truly ethical associations... I’d pointed him to a cheetah conservation group. I can confirm—they’re the ones who released several cheetahs into this part of Mapungubwe. Leokwe is stunning, unfenced... with a pretty high chance of seeing elephants in the camp, drinking from the pool or brushing past the chalet terraces. This area is still a fantastic spot for spectacular wildlife sightings and insane landscapes!

Exploring Oman in early 2026
An idea to mull over: heading to Oman at the start of the year (January, February). A car for freedom, bivouacs, hostels, desert, mountains, hiking, walks... For two, three, or four—depending on who’s in. Who’s tempted? Have a great week, and more, to everyone!
Renting a car in Dubai and crossing into Oman
Hi there,
We’re traveling from 12/23/2025 to 1/9/2025 in Oman.
However, our flight lands in Dubai.
So I’m looking for a car rental company that allows crossing the border into the Sultanate of Oman.
Thanks for your recommendations!

BERLIN on our own
Berlin in May is really nice.
Day 1: Flight from Orly to Berlin. We had a bit of a struggle finding the train or RER to get to "Mitte". The Berliners were quite helpful in trying to guide us. Settled into our hotel, we took some time to explore the northern part of "Mitte". Dinner at a pizzeria and off to bed.
Day 2: A 3-hour guided tour of Berlin East’s must-see spots. Great idea—it helped us plan the rest of our stay. After a quick lunch at a kebab place, we set off on foot to check out the graffitied Berlin Wall, including the Swiss Army Knife mural. We stopped by some cool bars along the way (we love walking). Back by metro—we’re starting to figure out how it works. Dinner near our hotel at a Chinese restaurant.
Day 3: We visited the Jewish quarter, walked to Charlottenburg, and then headed to the Memorial Museum, a must-see. Grabbed a snack with a slightly spicy Berlin sausage and made our way to the Jewish Museum. Since we’re not Jewish, we didn’t fully grasp its content, despite the richness of the exhibits. Walked back and had dinner at a traditional restaurant.
Day 4: Back in 1968, as a high school student, I stayed with a German family to improve my German—which I’ve since forgotten. I wanted to revisit Kurfürstendamm, but it was a mistake. This West Berlin neighborhood, with its bars, nightclubs, and luxury shops, has lost all its charm. It’s now just a residential area. We headed back through one of Berlin’s many beautiful parks.
Day 5: Our last day included a visit to Charlottenburg Palace—a mini Versailles—and a stroll around the Reichstag. The cherry on top of this trip was getting to visit the dome. Luckily, I’d read that you need to book in advance to access it. Three weeks before our departure, I logged on and—surprise—I got two spots for the day before we left at 6:30 PM. I confirmed right away. It’s true that on-site, buses drop off tourists who could crowd the dome, so booking early is *totally* worth it.
Day 6: Heading home. If we’d gotten a 72-hour metro pass, we could’ve saved a day. Sure, we walked a lot, but like in Paris, being outside lets you appreciate the city’s architecture even more.

Travel safety in Ethiopia: visiting the north and central regions
hi,
We’d like to visit the main sites in northern and central Ethiopia, but we’re reading very different things about the security situation there.
Is it safe for tourists to travel there right now? I guess it’s a bit safer with an organized tour, but we don’t want to push our luck.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Accommodations in Tayrona Park (Colombia)
Hi,
I’d love to spend a night in the park to enjoy it without rushing, but I’m shocked by the prices and the poor quality of the accommodations I’ve found on Booking. Are there any other more reasonable options on-site (aside from tents and hammocks, which aren’t for us...)? Also, is it risky not to book ahead for a trip in March? Thanks for your feedback!
Do you know this palace?
Hi there, I stumbled upon this image online while reading an article about the Château de Fontainebleau.
I’m having a hard time believing this is actually that château, so I’m turning to VF members to help me figure out the name of this building (hoping it’s not just a CGI image!)

5 days on Easter Island
Easter Island, located between Tahiti and Chile, fascinated me with its volcanic landscapes and legendary Moai statues, erected by the first Polynesian inhabitants to honor their ancestors. Mysterious and iconic, this isolated land intrigues with its history and the enigmas that researchers and explorers are still trying to unravel.
To help you prepare for your trip, here’s my five-day itinerary. I was able to explore major sites while leaving room for some free and adventurous moments. Here’s the program I followed:
Day 1: Discovering Hanga Roa and nearby moais
For my arrival, I started slowly by visiting the village of Hanga Roa. I took the time to stroll around, check out some local shops, and especially admire the first moais accessible for free, to ease into the island’s fascinating history.
Day 2: The must-see sites with a guide (Vaihu, Te Pito Kura, Anakena, Tongariki, Rano Raraku)
The second day was dedicated to the highlights. With a guide, I explored the island’s iconic sites, including the imposing aligned moais of Tongariki and the ancient "statue factory" of Rano Raraku. This intense day helped me understand more about the island’s culture and mysterious history, especially with the paradise-like beach of Anakena at the end of the day.
Day 3: Historical sites and museum (Orongo, Rano Kau, Puna Pau, Akivi)
On the third day, I continued with a guided morning, particularly at the ceremonial village of Orongo, perched atop Rano Kau. After visiting Puna Pau and Akivi, I spent the afternoon at the museum to deepen my knowledge of the Rapa Nui civilization.
Day 4: Bike ride in nature
Craving freedom, I devoted this day to a bike ride along the coastline and through the island’s natural spots. It was the perfect opportunity to explore at my own pace and stop at secret coves, enjoying the tranquility of the landscapes.
Day 5: Hike to the summit of Terevaka
For my last day, I set off on a hike to the summit of Terevaka, the island’s highest point. From there, the 360° view of the island and the ocean is breathtaking and gave me a memorable souvenir of this trip.
This five-day stay was a real journey through time, landscapes, and the mysteries of Easter Island!
