Brad Ramirez+FollowBali & Mexico: Paradise or Tourist Trap?Ever dreamed of Bali or the Mexican Riviera? The reality isn’t all sunsets and cocktails. Overcrowding, trash-strewn beaches, and water shortages are turning paradise into a struggle for locals and visitors alike. Traditional culture is fading, wildlife is losing its home, and only a fraction of tourism money stays with the community. Locals are calling for more responsible travel, but will tourists listen before these dream destinations lose their magic? #Travel #Overtourism #Bali10Share
Kelly Mack+FollowSouthwest’s Big Shake-Up: Fees, Seats & New Destinations!Southwest Airlines is seriously switching things up!

Also, no more taking off your shoes at security! Travel is getting a bit easier, but double-check your bags before you fly! #Travel #TSA #TravelTips13334Share

dylan15+FollowHow Europeans Instantly Spot American TouristsYou know you’re in Europe when you hear a group chatting loudly in a café—yep, probably Americans! Locals say it’s not just the accent: it’s the college tees, big backpacks worn on the front, and the 6pm dinner requests. Americans love small talk, tip big, and always pay with plastic. But honestly, their friendliness and enthusiasm make them pretty lovable guests, even if they do block the sidewalk in sightseeing packs! #Travel #TravelFails #AmericanTourists31Share

Jamie Watson+FollowMexico Travel: Where It’s Actually RiskyThinking about a Mexico getaway? The U.S. just issued a Level 2 travel advisory—meaning be extra cautious, but don’t panic. Most tourist hotspots like Cancún and Cabo are still safe, but experts say to steer clear of cartel-heavy areas, especially coastal Acapulco in Guerrero (yikes, high crime rates!). Some states even have a strict ‘do not travel’ warning. Bottom line: stick to the main tourist zones, use rideshare apps, and keep an eye on your bling. Stay smart, stay safe! #Travel #MexicoTravel #TravelTips5559Share
sperkins+FollowSouthwest’s Baggage Blunder?Southwest Airlines ditched its famous 'bags fly free' perk, hoping new bag fees would boost profits. Instead, ticket sales took a nosedive, and travel experts are calling out the airline for picking the worst possible time to make the change. While Southwest claims the new fees are raking in cash, experts say slashing base fares to keep seats filled means the bag fees aren’t the cash cow they hoped for. Did Southwest fumble its signature move? #Travel #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews3524Share
