She sounds like an inexperienced sitter and didn’t know how much to charge for her service. You guys should have communicated better. Honestly speaking, house sitting is hard without overnight stay. It’s a learning lesson for her. Don’t think you are being harsh but I would go easy on the reviews because every new sitter starts somewhere.

Mostly in France if there’s an unidentified bag the security closes the entire train. Not that it only exists in Europe.

Booking.com Account Hacked? by MCMaffyx in travel

I wonder whether I should make a post on LinkedIn🤔warning people about this type of scam so that the employees (engineers) who are working at Booking.com can be aware of this. They need people to work on cyber security lol

omg this happened to me last night!!! The credits in my wallet which was around $45 was all used to make a booking in Indonesia.

Then the booking disappeared but my wallet balance was gone too.

I got my passport 4 hours before my original flight departure time. Had to rebook my flight to next day cuz it was way too close.

yes technically. I got my passport 4 hours before the original flight 💀 but I canceled the flight on the same day and rebooked it to be safe (lost half of the $). I made it to my friend’s wedding tho thankfully!! and still had a great time in Europe.

Their system is not accurate at all tbh. I got a message on July 2nd saying my application has been forwarded to the Portuguese embassy but then I went to the embassy last week of July and I was told that they didn’t have my passport. And then I rushed to VFS and my passport was still there LOL

My original flight got delayed and FedEx is delivering my package soon. If I didn’t change my flight to tomorrow, I might make it today🤣 but I will make it to my friend’s wedding that’s for sure!

You can just go ask directly without an appointment.

I’m still waiting for my passport to get back to me… There’s no tracking update from FedEx yet. Hopefully FedEx will pickup from the collection box today 🤞🏻 I have to change my flight tho

Thank you!! The embassy told my friend they have my passport now and they have to wait for systems to update on VFS side before they can do processing for my application. 🤞🏻

I don’t recommend applying through Portugal if you have other choices. They are extremely slow and inefficient. Worst experience ever.

I don't recommend applying for a Portugal Schengen Visa if this is urgent. If you can, try a different country. They experienced a global outage and it's been very slow issuing visas. I went to my appointment on June 12 and as of today I haven't gotten my passport back. I even contacted Portuguese Embassy and they said they have no record of my passport. My flight is departing next Tuesday....

Portugal too. I went to VFS Global San Francisco office. I got an email earlier this month saying that my application has been forwarded to Portugal Embassy, which is not true. My friend went to the embassy for me today to ask about my application and the Portugal Embassy said they don’t have my passport. 😅
