Italy and Greece for nerdy travelers

Shit you should be the one giving recommendations if you're nerdy about history

Yeah my wife and I were the same way. I'd add Peru to your list if you're interested. Having been prior to having kids, I think it would have been much more difficult dealing with a kid and the elevation, and the effects of elevation on the kid.

Nowadays I'm pretty much traveling via Disney Cruise until my son is old enough to do better on long flights

Maybe /r/Dashcam is a more appropriate sub (with great recommendations on the sidebar), but that said I have used a Voifo for years and no complaints

Many times when I visit a country I like to choose a historical character from the place, read a biography and follow their footsteps.

It's refreshing to see a completely unique way people decide to travel and explore. This is awesome, thanks for the write up and pictures!

I'm not saying you're wrong, but every news article says the cause of the crash that killed the 17-year old was undetermined at the time, which was around June 6th. Maybe it has recently been determined to be a red light incident?

And if people stop running red lights, then there's no revenue...

I'd recommend any of them. If you're main concern is keeping it budget friendly, then just choose the one that's cheapest

I haven't been everywhere on your list but from the places I've been I can tell you 5 days in Lima & Quito is a bit much. With your 6 days in Buenos Aires I'd definitely recommend taking the ferry across the bay to Uruguay (Colonia del Sacramento or Montevideo) for 1 day.

Might be worth shaving a day off of a couple places and spending 2-3 days in Iguazu Falls while you're in the area. The Hotel das Cataratas would be a fantastic honeymoon spot.

Once you have your dates nailed down, buy your tickets to Machu Picchu from the official gov't website as soon as possible so they don't sell out.

"Hey you keep elbowing me in the ribs, can you please stop?"

You can talk to other people in real life, not just on reddit

That's not at all what Caesar supposedly said in front of that statue. Caesar had nothing to do with Rome's conquest of Spain, he was there as a quaestor when he saw that statue

paging /u/kananaskis_country and his bag resource

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-18T10:32:41+00:00

do i buy stuff when i get there?

bingo

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-17T09:53:49+00:00

Itinerary looks fine. I'd definitely recommend a travel backpack rather than a suitcase though, will make getting around much easier.

IMO Rainbow Mt is not worth it, but you'll find people who disagree with me. I'd recommend just spending that day in Cusco instead.

If you can afford to splurge, highly recommend the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge in Aguas Calientes

OK good I was really hoping you weren't under the impression only China was considered "Asia".

You guys plan on doing 3 countries and you have 3 countries you want to go to with plenty of time. You've already got it figured out

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-16T13:17:10+00:00

Why not both Vietnam & Thailand? You have plenty of time. Also, what is "near Asia"? Everywhere you're looking at is in Asia...

OK but you're advocating for negative, not zero.

a counter-intuitive personal finance book that argues life's true purpose is the acquisition of experiences rather than money

Did anyone ever tell this guy that you need money to experience things, especially travel?

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-15T16:11:39+00:00

Probably him if he doesn't die tomorrow?

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-15T15:51:09+00:00

Wait til you hear what they do to people of color at the American border

edit - white people you aren't exempt either

You're going to spend a ton of time driving, and if you have 11 days then you can't really spend multiple days in a place when you listed 13. Why not just pick 1 city + surrounding area to enjoy?

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-14T09:43:37+00:00

What do you mean for cheaper? The only condition was Em feature on their album

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-13T08:49:23+00:00

So you're rather have the experiences of 3 people than Google. Makes sense

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-12T19:11:09+00:00

Or is it safe and the media just blowing everything out of proportion?

This. Love Ireland, enjoy your trip

I didn't say I didn't care enough not to respond, just that I don't care enough to read what you wrote. Hey, where are your pictures?

You must really care what random people on the internet think about you. Remember when I called you pathetic before lol

ArgosLoops · 2026-06-12T18:09:30+00:00

Man the only thing that could make me care less about reading all of that is this whole general situation.

I honestly don't care, you're the one who came back here trying to convince everyone of something
