A decade ago I wrote a much-read piece for Traveller on how to travel with cabin luggage only. They asked me to revisit the concept in 2023, so here it is...
Ditch the checked bag: How to pack for a holiday bringing only carry-on
Why would a product labeled "power adapter" have a way to plug into a UK outlet (standard 220v) and have a way to plug a US prong into it (standard 110v)
BUT ALSO BE LABELED "NOT A VOLTAGE CONVERTER"?
Am I to understand that if I plug a standard US cord in I will get 220v into my device? Why would that be useful for anyone not attempting to start a fire?
More ramblings for my recent #flight#journey. There were significantly fewer people in #Incheon#Airport T2; virtually no one was there after 11pm (me among ones requiring an overnight transfer...). Although the airport is 24/7, very few facilities are open after 10pm, so I guess the industry hasn't walked out of the woods yet... But at least they don't jack up the prices: drinks of the same type costs double in #ATL (with only Coca-Cola-owned/licensed drinks!) compared to #ICN ... #travel
Burr Trail Rd is a scenic byway that runs from the town of Boulder Utah through Capital Reef National Park's Waterpocket Fold and ultimately Bullfrog Marina and a small landing strip at Lake Powell.
This area formed during the Laramide orogeny that started 70 to 80 million years ago, and ended 35 to 55 million years ago
I just won a rail pass (i can travel around Europe for free) and I'm wondering how hard it would be to have cheap accommodations.
I mean, camping is an option, but I'm afraid that it's difficult and could be dangerous.
Any travelers out there, who could give me some pointers? #travel#eu
Please help me find more content for my feed. It's currently too depressing, and full of #abpoli and #uspolitics and global disaster doom and gloom. I like local content, and #bikes, #urbanism (less so the doom and gloom stuff), #travel, #families, #animals & #nature, and fun random stuff. Most of the podcasts etc that I followed on bird site haven't migrated. 😢
Nestled in the old Hong Kong district of Wan Chai, the Chung Wui mansion sits right in the middle of an intersection, similar to New York’s Flat Iron Building, but with a lot more pastel flair.
Some ramblings for my recent #flight#journey. #KoreanAir does offer a #bibimbap option (with ingredients prepared in South Korea, not your origin airport), but it requires mixing the ingredients yourself... There's also a soup (restored from powder)... So you should certainly be aware if your flight is being quite rough (for me it caused migraines, so imagine how stressed I was trying to eat that meal). #AirlineMealSets#travel
Air New Zealand is planning to introduce bunks for economy passengers to book for 4 hour sleeping sessions on long-haul flights. Only 1 booking per passenger per flight will be allowed. #travel
Check out the "Travelista" Magazine curated by @jentrification for #travel stories and recommendations for destinations around the world from Botswana to Costa Rica.
This would be done on this account, sadly Träwelling, the train/tram/bus trip recording client I use ( #traewelling@traewelling ) doesn’t yet support anything but Mastodon to auto-post to. Once #MastodonDE is done and ready, my trips will be Auto-posted on my main account there (or I’ll make a separate train account, not sure yet).
2023.06.29 Update
I’ve decided to put travels that happened mostly within an city with city transportation (bus, metro, tram, etc.) as part of the same trip into one post! If such a thing is documented, then my description of what happened on that trip will occur in that post, not the post about the way back as was the case previously.
Now coming back home to Norden after an elongated weekend! The JA!NUN festival for which I travelled through Hannover in the first place was great, but staying in Hannover for my comrades from the Linksjugend (Left Youth) and attending the 8th May remembrance event, as well as coming back to the legendary youth house #korn / #UJZ (Unabhängiges Jugendzentrum Korn), was incredible as well!
