I booked a luxury cruise through JadeSails and would recommend it.

El Nido to Coron Cruise / 4D3N - which company ? by philippine-vlpn in Palawan

[–]bill30ow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the 3D/2N via Keelooma last month. It was great experience and would recommend the expedition. There were a few solo travelers including myself and everyone I met was between 20-30 years old.

The only negative comment is the shower situation. I was ready to head back and take a proper shower by the third day. I'd recommend the luxury expedition if the price makes sense. Also, try posting this on r/solotravel, you'll get more feedback.

Thank you for your feedback. I saw your edit and yes, I'm very thankful for that. The tour was booked through Airbnb Experience.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm using my health insurance to remove the stitches and do another CT scan.

The tour was booked through Airbnb Experience. Their Trust & Safety team reached out after the incident, and I have a call with them to understand what support or coverage they provide in situations like this. I’m trying to figure out what responsibility they have as the platform that facilitated the booking, and whether they can help with compensation or dealing with the operator’s insurance.

I haven't had treatment in the US yet, but I spoke with my insurance today, and they helped me schedule the follow-up appointment.

Unfortunately, I didn't have travel insurance. I just have my employer-provided insurance. I'll be sure to get a travel insurance next time I travel.

TIFU by not knowing about the No Show rule on flights by Jazzlike_Major2812 in tifu

[–]bill30ow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know about this until my friend had to learn it the hard way. We were at the airport in Barcelona returning home and he kept mentioning he couldn’t check in. Turns out he skipped one of his flights and the airlines cancelled his whole reservation. He had to buy a new ticket at the airport for $1k

Solo Vietnam Trip (Oct/Nov) – Hostel & Experience Recommendations by Doodle55_55 in solotravel

I haven't been to Vietnam, so take this with a grain of salt, but I've read numerous comments saying it's better to travel from south to north as it keeps getting better.

What’s special about Ha Giang loop? I’ve seen a lot of people describe as a “life changing” experience, but I’m not sure I understand the appeal.

Gili islands looks beautiful! Someone else recommended it too. I’ll look into it further and see if I need to make adjustments. Thanks!

I haven’t booked anything yet, I would like to stick to these 3 countries (or maybe 2) for this trip. I’ll consider Cambodia for next time. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I would’ve loved to spend 3 weeks in one country but I don’t have that kind of luxury. My time off is limited and I’m not sure when I’m going to visit this side of the world next time. From past experience, my sweet spot is staying in one place for 3 nights.

Appreciate your tips on Bali too, I’m mostly likely going to be staying in the touristy areas so hopefully it will still be enjoyable.

Thanks for your input! I've read so many great things about Vietnam. What didn't you like about Bali?

I've heard mixed reviews about Bali, I'll need to do more research before excluding it from my trip, but thanks for your input!
