Seule en Turquie mars 2004 English translation pending
by Mudem · 2004-02-06 · 3 replies
Bonjour,

je compte passer quelques semaines à parcourir la Turquie à compter du mois de mars. je compte bien sûr visiter Istanbul et ensuite je veux partir visiter l'Est de la Turquie (Erzurum, Kars, Van, Diyarbakir) et revenir par la Cappadoce. Si j'ai le temps je passerais bien également par la région de la Mer Noire. je n'ai pas encore d'itinéraire bien établi. Je compte voyager en bus ou train.

Je souhaitais donc avoir des avis et conseils de femmes qui ont voyagé seules en Turquie et avoir également leurs impressions de voyage.

Merci à toutes

L'hôtel susmentionné en objet a fait son ouverture récemment. Je vous invite donc à me fournir vos commentaires sur: le rapport qualité prix, nourriture, divertissement, beauté de la plage, animation, visites touristiques des lieux, qualité des spectacles. Est-ce vrai qu'il y a une plage nudiste, que le monokini est permis. Est- vrai qu'il y seulement 2 hôtels à Santa Maria lequel choisir? Nous n'avons pas voyagé souvent mais un agent de voyage nous mentionnait que notre premier voyage à Punta Cana plus précisemment au Flamenco de la chaîne Occidental Hôtel serait difficile à battre pour les critère susmentionné.😎 Que pensez vous de cet endroit en général?

Travel Impressions from the Faroe Islands - March 2026
by Cqr · 2026-05-21 · 2 replies
Hi there, I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip: - Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running. - I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out. - The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days. - Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought. - Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep. - The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper. - I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today. In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Exploring Ruaha and Nyerere (formerly Selous) in February-March 2026
by SimonL · 2026-03-30 · 0 replies
Hello,

Well, this trip to Tanzania in the southern parks—Ruaha and Nyerere (formerly Selous)—finally happened in late February to early March.

It was a bit more complicated to organize than usual, with a few hiccups. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere (
link), the ban on booking domestic flights in Tanzania through a French agency made things a little tricky.

However, my friend Vincent Beccaro from Objectif Nature found a solution by having a local ground operator step in—one I’d recommend if you run into similar issues.

With flight tickets secured through Kenya Airways (after Rwandair canceled our outbound flight), we easily made it to Dar es Salaam on February 22. Side note: my dealings with Rwandair to get a refund for the flights they canceled are still ongoing. This airline is dragging its feet, constantly pushing back the refund date every time I check in (which is about once a week). I won’t back down.

Back to our 10-night trip: we spent our first night in Dar es Salaam before heading to Ruaha with Auric Air.

We stayed in some incredible lodges—4 nights at Ikuka Safari Camp in Ruaha, then 4 nights at Laba Siwada in Nyerere, before returning to Dar es Salaam.

Before I share a full recap with photos, I’ve just finished editing a video I’d like to show you.

You’ll see beautiful lodges, rainy safaris, and some amazing wildlife encounters, like wild dogs and bat-eared foxes.

Sorting and identifying all the animals (especially the birds) from the thousands of photos I took will take a bit of time. Bear with me!

March 2026 Photo Contest Theme: Metal, Metallic
by Xrctn · 2026-03-03 · 95 replies
The 139th edition of this contest is now open, and this month’s theme is: « Metal, Metallic».

From ore to rockets, wire to the Eiffel Tower—or in a pinch, even a self-portrait at the bottom of a spoon—the theme is broad enough that you should be able to come up with at least three ideas pretty easily! Sure, things might get tricky when it’s time to vote, but that could just be a sign of a successful contest, right?! But we’re not there yet.

Contest rules: You can post up to three photos, each in a separate message, clearly indicating their number (1, 2, or 3) along with the location where the photo was taken. Any explanations about your photos are welcome.

You’ll vote for three photos, clearly stating the name of the participant you’ve chosen, followed by the photo number. The first photo in your vote will receive three points, the second two points, and the third one point.

The winner will be the person whose photo earns the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the most first-place votes—or, if still tied, the most second-place votes. Finally, if it’s a perfect tie, the winner will be the one who reached their score first. The winner will then have the pleasure of choosing the theme for the April 2026 contest and organizing it. Ties for any position other than first won’t be broken. Lastly, you don’t need to participate in the contest to vote. However, participants (and I hope there’ll be lots of you!) are strongly encouraged to vote!

Please only post contest photos in this thread, and starting Thursday, March 26 (00:01 Paris time), only votes.

Key dates: You can submit your photos starting today, Tuesday, March 3, 2026, until Wednesday, March 25, 2026 (23:59 Paris time). Voting will begin the minute after and end on Monday, March 30 (23:59 Paris time). Results will be announced on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 ... if all goes well!

What choices to make for 2 weeks in March in Athens and the Cyclades?
by Decma · 2026-01-26 · 9 replies
We’ve only been to Crete in Greece before, so this trip is new to us—but planning the itinerary isn’t easy because we have to make choices. We’d love to hear from those in the know about the following plan: Day 1: flight to Athens, then flight to Milos 3 days in Milos, 4 days in Sifnos, 3 days in Paros, Final 3 days in Athens. Should we book ferry tickets between the islands in March in advance, or can we wait until the last minute? Same question for accommodations on these different islands. Finally, on the 3 islands we’ve chosen, is renting a car essential, or are the buses enough? Thanks for your help!
Travel Companion for 1-Month Backpacking Trip in Sri Lanka – March 2026
by Chrigo · 2026-01-24 · 0 replies
I’m planning a backpacking-style trip to Sri Lanka in March 2026. To share the emotions and experiences, I’d love the company of a co-traveler (male or female). I’m in my sixties, fit, and pretty active—I’m used to this kind of travel, especially in Asia. I’m planning a budget-friendly road trip: simple, clean guesthouses (10–15 € per night), meals at small restaurants or street food stalls, and local transport (buses, trains, tuk-tuks). There’ll be nature excursions, tea plantations, visits to monuments, temples, shows, museums, a safari, beaches… basically a little bit of everything and a general tour of this beautiful country. So if anyone relates to this and is interested, let’s get in touch and chat! 😉

Looking for a travel companion for Oman - March-April 2026
by Patricevinc · 2026-01-22 · 1 reply
Hello, I’m 76 years old and travel a lot around the world. I’m planning to go to Oman from March 19 to April 8, 2026. (After that, I’m off to Turkey to meet some friends.) I’m looking for a fellow traveler to share a car rental to explore some off-the-beaten-path spots. I just got back from Cape Verde, and before that, I was in the USA, Japan, Chile, etc. I usually travel solo, and obviously, I meet a lot of people along the way. For Oman (and Namibia next year), it seems more practical to travel with 2 or 3 people. That’s all! Patrice

LUGGAGE is March's theme
by Dolma · 2025-03-01 · 55 replies
From the most sophisticated suitcase to the bundle on your shoulder, from gear strapped to a motorcycle to bags on top of buses, what matters is capturing travel with luggage. Whether it's a stroll, an expedition, a simple outing, or a tour—anything goes, as long as the luggage is highlighted, of course 🙂 ........... Here’s my copy-paste:

Every VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Tuesday, March 25 at 11:59 PM Paris time.

Each photo should be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3).

Don’t forget to add a little explanation (commentary, location, etc.).

Voting:

Every VF member can vote for the 3 photos they think are the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.

Voting will take place from Wednesday, March 26 to Sunday, March 30 at 11:59 PM Paris time.

Photos will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd: 2 points - 3rd: 1 point

The winner is the person whose photo receives the most points.

I’ll be away during the last days of March and won’t be very available, so the results will be announced on April 1st (no, it’s not a joke). And please, while I’m gone, be as well-behaved and disciplined as you always are 🙂

In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing April’s contest.

Attila, could you please put together the slideshow? You know how to do it, and I don’t!!
2 weeks in mojito country - March 2024 (Cuba)
by Pboulard · 2025-02-02 · 19 replies
Hey everyone,

A lot has happened in 4 years when it comes to travel. It wasn’t a little virus that would stop us from traveling, even if we sometimes had to adjust our destinations. So, I’m going to try to get back into posting travel journals, starting with destinations where there aren’t many recent stories.

I’ll begin with our trip of 2 weeks exploring the western part of Cuba. For those eager to read the story, I invite you to check out MyAtlas, where I started writing my travel journals during VoyageForum’s long hiatus:
https://www.myatlas.com/Lofwyra/cuba-petit-detour-au-pays-du-mojito

Our itinerary, traveled in a 1954 classic American car with our driver Yoan, who spoke excellent French. I’ll add links to the posts as I write them.

2 nights in Habana Vieja - <<click here to go directly to the post>> 2 nights in Playa Larga** 2 nights in Cienfuegos** 3 nights in Trinidad*** 2 nights in Matanzas*** 3 nights in Viñales**** 1 night in Havana, downtown and Vedado

Before diving into the story, here are a few photos of what stood out to us beyond the usual sights of this country:

🙂 The birds, in large numbers—hummingbirds, pink flamingos, pelicans, and especially the tocororo, Cuba’s endemic bird, considered the national bird because the colors of its plumage match the Cuban flag.

🙂 Matanzas, a city that doesn’t get much attention, sandwiched between Varadero and Havana. It doesn’t have the architectural splendor of Trinidad or Cienfuegos, some streets are really dirty, but it has a dynamic, lively vibe that really touched us.

🙂 The ever-present blue, in the architecture, the cars, and the natural surroundings.

...and what we called the "Cuban style": rum and cigars in the company of Che 😎

There’s still so much more to remember about this captivating and vibrant country, despite the economic crisis hitting Cubans hard... to be continued in the story.

Happy reading, Pascale
