Travel: Places you're going, places you've been.

@mhussy @Mister_Brue My wife and I spent a couple of months travelling around India a couple of years ago (Dec-Jan). If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. You should definitely put Varanasi on your list of places to visit while there!

I’ll be close by as I’ll be flying to Nepal in early December.

@mhussy That sounds incredible. I spent a month in Trivandrum in the south of India a few years ago. I found it quite nice. Lots to see and not as crowded as the central and northern regions from what I understand.

So far since leaving home, we have spent a night on a plane, a night in a hotel, and tonight it’ll be a night on a ferry. But then we will be where we are meant to be…..Romblon Island…

Looks cozy. Who gets the top bunk?

Batangas is like any large ferry port serving a load of offshore Islands....

And, at about 03:00 this morning we arrived at Romblon Island, just the 1 hour or so in our chariot to go....

@Giles love the Philippines and especially the people!! If you hear a guy yelling taho in the morning try and grab some and maybe you'll get he fabled Batangas strawberry taho!

Ooh, something to look out for. Thanks...

Started my first adventure of the month here in the beautiful Andes Mountains of Chile! The views are breathtaking, and the weather was just right — clear skies, sunshine, and a nice cool breeze made it ideal for trekking. Really enjoyed hiking through the rocky paths today. Huge thanks to my local guide from https://gowithguide.com/chile for being such a helpful and friendly companion along the way!

Any Turkey experts here?
Tomorrow I’ll be flying out for a two week trip in Turkey. Meeting up with a few college buddies. General plan is to slowly drive out to Trabzon in northwest Turkey along the Black Sea and up the mountains with stops along the way at: Safranbolu, Sinop, Kumbet Koyu, Rize.
We’ll fly back to Istanbul by the 24th.
Happy to get suggestions from the forum on things like: sites, architecture marvels, food/restaurants, presents for family…
Thankyou!
