Would you skip these too or did I just diss your fave? #News #TravelConfessions #AsiaTravel00Share

sperkins+FollowMt. Jefferson faces its last ski seasonMt. Jefferson, known as Maine’s most affordable ski spot, is gearing up for what could be its final season after 61 years. The mountain’s future hangs in the balance due to low snowfall and no snowmaking, with the owners openly saying only a big turnout could save it. Locals have relied on this hill for generations, and its closure would leave just two ski areas in the region. With day passes at $30, it’s a bittersweet moment for the community. Are you planning to hit the slopes one last time or have memories to share from Mt. Jefferson? #Travel #MtJefferson #MaineSkiing00Share
pbrewer+FollowTraveling Through Arizona Made Me Question What ‘Safety’ Even Means I’ve never been to a place where people talk about safety so much — yet define it so differently. In Scottsdale, I heard wealthy tourists brag about how “safe and pristine” it felt. An hour away, in Phoenix, I saw police stopping Latino families for no clear reason. A local told me, “This is normal here. They call it ‘protection.’ We call it something else.” Then a Border Patrol truck passed us on the highway, and everyone acted like it was as normal as a delivery van. Arizona is beautiful — but beauty doesn’t erase the tension you feel when a place is obsessed with safety while half its residents don’t feel protected at all. #Travel #Arizona #SafetyDebate4135Share
Jerry Clark+FollowDelta flight drama: De-icing fluid soaks passengerImagine getting ready for takeoff at LaGuardia, only to have your flight delayed because de-icing fluid somehow leaked into the cabin and drenched a passenger! That’s exactly what happened on Delta flight 1307, causing a three-hour delay while the crew swapped planes and checked for leaks. Thankfully, the fluid is non-hazardous, but it’s not every day you need new pants before a flight even leaves the gate. Has anyone else experienced something this bizarre while flying? Let’s hear your wildest travel mishaps! #Business #Industry #DeltaAirlines00Share
pbrewer+FollowVisiting Boston as a Tourist Made Me Understand What ‘Local Gatekeeping’ Feels Like Boston is historic, impressive, and proud — very proud. I didn’t expect that pride to show up as hostility. In a café near Beacon Hill, the barista asked where I was from. When I said California, she smirked and said, “Oh, so you’re here to ruin our city too?” Later, a guy at a bar lectured me about “tourists driving up rent” as if I personally caused the housing crisis. Boston locals love their city, but some act like visitors don’t deserve to be there unless we pass a quiz on colonial history and Red Sox stats. Travel is supposed to open doors, not make you feel like you’re trespassing on someone’s identity. #Travel #Boston #TouristLife2212Share

darrell47+FollowTourist Hotspots Where People Disappear?!Did you know there are places where tourists vanish every single year? Think Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Death Valley, and even the Swiss Alps. It’s not about curses—just wild terrain, sneaky weather, and people underestimating the adventure. If you’re eyeing these spots for your next trip, don’t just wing it. Plan smart, pack right, and respect the local risks. Trust me, you don’t want to be the next headline! #News #TravelSmart #AdventureAwaits10Share
Christina Davis+FollowWhy Ryanair Wants You to Ditch Jeans on FlightsNext time you’re packing for a Ryanair flight, you might want to leave your jeans at home. The airline’s TikTok sparked a debate by asking travelers to stop wearing jeans on board, claiming they’re just not comfy for those cramped, budget-friendly seats. Some folks swear by leggings or sweats for long hauls, while others say jeans are a must to save space in their bags. Comfort vs. carry-on space—what’s your go-to? #Business #TravelHacks #Ryanair10Share
pbrewer+FollowWhy Does New Orleans Welcome Tourists but Not Protect Its Own People? New Orleans is magical — culture, food, music, warmth. But visiting made me question something nobody wants to talk about. Tourist areas are heavily policed, spotless, glowing. Seven blocks away, I saw entire neighborhoods with broken streetlights, abandoned houses, and kids walking home alone because buses don’t run reliably. A bartender told me, “The city keeps Bourbon Street shiny because that’s where the money is.” But shouldn’t a city take care of its residents with the same energy it uses to entertain outsiders? New Orleans is unforgettable — not just because of its beauty, but because of the question it forces you to ask: Who is the city really for? #Travel #NewOrleans #TourismPolitics5612Share
