When my husband and free sex rape videoI started planning a Hawaii vacation, we sat on the couch, laptops at the ready, our fingertips tap-dancing across our keyboards. We both knew exactly where to start: Reddit.
We divided and conquered. He scoured for dive sites and shops to check out. I looked for what else we should do when we weren't floating under the deep blue sea. That's how I discovered a farm that lets you milk a goat and an app that narrates your drive through a winding road known for beautiful views, but a treacherous climb.
Reddit lets you take travel planning a step further than most guidebooks, introducing you to locals or past visitors who will appraise your itinerary, offer unexpected suggestions, and provide up-to-date information. You can dig deep into specifics and learn whether to hike a certain trail in the rain, buy a certain SIM card at the airport, or avoid a bus line that doesn't work in the afternoons.
But you have to enjoy the hunt -- and play by a few rules.
Before you start asking people to share hidden gems in Paris or debate whether you should travel to New York or Portland for a long weekend, lurk a little. Check out the local subreddit of the place you want to go; there are often also tourism subreddits for specific locales. (For the uninitiated, subreddits are Reddit's topic-specific forums.)
My first stops for my Hawaii planning were subs focused on Maui and Hawaii visitors. I also searched "maui to do," "maui tips," and "maui hiking" from the search bar on Reddit's homepage. Reddit search leaves a lot to be desired, but it'll do if you have the patience to scroll for awhile. You may have better luck using Google to do a site search for Reddit and specific keywords.
Once you've done a bit of homework, go ahead and write your first post. But make sure to be specific. A big faux pas on travel-related posts is being too vague, said Lili Armstrong, a subreddit moderator. She's seen people post questions about what they should do in Asia with no details about which countries they were interested in, their budget, or their hobbies.
"For me, I really love museums, and if I say 'Hey, I'm going to be going to this city, what are some great museums?' There's gonna be someone else out there who loves museums, and because you gave that insight, they're gonna give you a very detailed post that you wouldn't have gotten if you hadn't said that," said the 33-year-old from Colorado.
And yes, travel-loving Redditors will write thorough responses. When Armstrong was planning a trip to Egypt, she posted a handful of questions to Reddit and received more than 30 detailed responses, from suggestions about what to do to cultural guidance. Before a recent weekend trip to Los Angeles, she shared where she was planning to stay and was warned that the traffic would be horrendous there so she picked another neighborhood.
She also looks at local subs for posts about weekly events like concerts, craft fairs, or farmer's markets.
Reddit can also supplement your other research. Faye Boyer, a 22-year-old from Georgia, likes to check out TripAdvisor and Expedia to find inexpensive places to stay, but she's skeptical of their rating and review systems. Once she finds somewhere she thinks may work, she'll write a post in a local sub asking if people have been there before or know anything about it.
"I don't normally trust those websites because if you see they have 4.2 stars, how many of those are actually authentic? How many of those are people who stayed there or employees who were told to write a good review," she explained.
A few years ago, Boyer was planning a trip to Ireland with her mother, and they were considering staying at a carriage house they'd found online. But the inn had very few reviews on other travel sites. When she asked Redditors if anyone had visited it before, she got enthusiastic responses.
"Everybody's like, 'yes, it's great, it's awesome,' and we went and stayed there and it really was," she said.
"One of the things I asked is: I would be a single female alone in a foreign country, how do I do this safely?"
Boyer is currently planning a return trip to Ireland, but this time she'll be traveling solo. She again went to Reddit and asked what route she should take, which hostels she should avoid, and how she could get around. She's also found the Ireland sub helpful for posting her itineraries so others can comment on whether they're overly ambitious or fill in any gaps.
"I was looking to see if anybody who's in Ireland could push me in a certain direction, so I knew I would get some of the best advice there. One of the things I asked is: I would be a single female alone in a foreign country, how do I do this safely? Is hitchhiking an option, is a bus an option? Everyone was like do not hitchhike."
While Armstrong, who also runs a travel blog, had tried using TripAdvisor forums, she found they weren't as active as Reddit. In addition to Reddit, the voracious planner also reads travel books and blogs.
I'm the same way. I tend to read about places to visit on a blog or news site and then search for specifics on Reddit. For example, I learned about that winding road I mentioned earlier, the Road to Hana, on another site, but it was on Reddit where I read about honking when rounding curves, where to get coconut ice cream along the way, and that we should download an app to narrate our journey.
A few years ago, I traveled to Iceland with my husband. We bought a Lonely Planet book but also turned to Reddit for advice. That's how we found a post listing free hot springs. At one of them, which was about a 10-minute walk off the road and near a glistening river, we were the only ones. Someone had also linked to a map they made of their trip around the country, which we downloaded through Maps.me to use offline during our weeklong road trip.
Many travel junkies -- I'm one of them -- will shower anyone who'll listen with a stream of recommendations. Reddit's like that, but to the nth degree. Travel-related and location-related subs are filled with people who want to learn and share their experiences. You can lurk on Reddit, but you're expected to join in, too.
When Boyer saw someone seeking advice on where to ask their girlfriend to marry them while visiting Ireland, she jumped at the chance to suggest some of her favorite vistas, parks, and gardens, adding photos and weather information.
"People are very generous," she said. "If you ask a genuine question, they’re not gonna beat you down for it."
"Our communities really want to help you."
While most respondents are helpful, this is the internet, and every now and then someone may be snarky or trolly. Ignore it and don't take it personally. For every irksome poster, there are plenty more who actually want to help.
Reddit's travel troves aren't just for extremely-online millennials, either. Many of the regulars in the sub Armstrong moderates are older than her, and love to needle her for it. While a separate solo travel sub skews younger, she's also seen people ask about traveling on their own in their 50s and 60s and whether they could still stay at a hostel in their 40s. To which, she opined, of course you can.
If you savor spending hours panning for travel gold -- and are comfortable talking to faceless strangers, then add Reddit to your vacation research repertoire. As Armstrong said, "our communities really want to help you."
