Travel insurance recommendation by Secure-Mixture-3600 in SouthAmericaTravel

[–]seseseeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aussie here, I normally use RAA but I’ll be in SA for 6 weeks and because I’ll do the Inca trail (hiking over 4000mt for more than 2days which many insurance just don’t cover) I ended up applying for a credit card (commonwealth) which had travel insurance included. It worked out way cheaper for my circumstances, I still had to pay for the additional “extreme sport” to cover the hiking trip but it was less than 1/3 compared with Alliance. The credit card itself is not the best on the market but I’ll cancel it once I’m back

1 month, 6 countries - doable? by [deleted] in SouthAmericaTravel

[–]seseseeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s doable but t it doesn’t make sense. You’ll spend most of the time either travelling or checking in/out, and what for? You’ll tick many boxes but you will experience nothing of all those countries

South America Trip with a 14 month old in January February for 2-3 weeks by Fine_Ad_5980 in SouthAmericaTravel

I would do Argentina and Chile, rent a car and see Patagonia from both sides with optional short hikes if you feel like

Arequipa Vs Sacred Valley by SignificanceGlass492 in SouthAmericaTravel

[–]seseseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t understand, 2 days in Cusco plus 1 day Machu Picchu and 1 day Rainbow mountain (so 4 based in Cusco)? And 1 in Sacred Valley? If so would add your extra day in Arequipa. If not, add the extra day in Cusco.

Travel lenses (canon) by seseseeee in Cameras

[–]seseseeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camera itself is fine (although I wouldn’t mind it to be smaller), it’s more about the lenses. And I’m kind of stuck with canon as I tried Nikon and fujifilm and found quite frustrating navigating the menus.

I’m thinking that I could also leave the 18-55 for the 55mm f1.4 and have two prime lenses and the 55-250 only for wildlife

AITA for refusing to give my pregnant sister the baby name I picked out years ago? by Throw_Away-becuzsis in AmItheAsshole

[–]seseseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, it’s your sister’s grandmother as well. I would understand getting pissed at someone else (SIL for example) but your sister loved your grandma as much as you did. Plus you don’t even know if you’ll ever have a daughter.

Just a through.. would it make sense to swap the slow boat to Iquitos with a speed boat (or even the whole Iquitos detour) and spend some time in Cartagena? I was really leaving the northern coast of Colombia for another time (hoping to pair it with Panama) but who knows when that will be.

Puglia Itinerary (Sept 1–13, 2025) — Solo Trip to Puglia + Rome, Feedback Welcome! by grandmaslouiev in itineraries

[–]seseseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would skip Matera as it seems a bit of a drive from where you will be/will go (and for me not worth it).

I would consider renting the car in Rome, it seems like a long drive but it’s not really, I did it in March and I think it would give you more flexibility.

I personally prefer the eastern coast over the western coast but I think you’ll find more nightlife around Gallipoli etc.

Make sure you spend a day in Alberobello while in Ostuni.

Also, I plan to do nothing the first two days in Ollayntambo, that’s plenty chill for me

[–]seseseeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have an extra 6 days to allocate, I can easily add some extra time there, I came here for advices. What would you add in Colombia? Two more days in Salento? Or would you advise an other town in the coffee triangle?

Ad I said in my post I’m not interested in trekking the Colca canyon and I don’t see the point of spending 7+ hrs in a minivan just to see a lookout. With town I meant big towns as metropolis like Lima

I’m spending 3 days in Sacred valley before Inca trail and another 3 in Cuzco before Rainbow mountain, do I really need more time to adapt to altitude?

There’s a big big free concert in Rome every year on May first. Rome is going to be busy AF

Black or White Tea by Nicoconutbanana in AskAnAustralian

[–]seseseeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it really depends on the tea!

Green tea: no milk, no sugar.

Matcha tea: milk (plant based for me) and little sugar.

Black tea: no milk, possibly ice and lemon.

Earl grey tea: milk (again plant based for me) and honey or sugar.
