Saudi Arabia is full of surprises. Whether you love adventure, relaxing by the water, or experiencing something meaningful, this country has it all. Here are some amazing things you can do when you visit Saudi Arabia.

Quad Biking

If you’re into exciting rides, quad biking is a must-try. In cities like Jeddah, Riyadh, and Madinah, you’ll find spots where you can hop on a gas-powered four-wheeler and ride across sandy hills and rocky terrain. For the best experience, go early in the morning or late in the afternoon when it’s not too hot.

Horseback Riding

Ever wanted to ride a horse like a pro? Saudi Arabia has plenty of horseback riding places where you can learn or just enjoy the experience. Many places are beginner-friendly, so don’t worry if it’s your first time. For example, Hala Yalla has a horseback riding course in Riyadh for beginners. There are numerous courses and classes like this you can find in Khobar, Jeddah, and elsewhere in Saudi.

Camping

Camping in Saudi Arabia is quite a unique experience. The deserts and parks offer perfect spots to pitch a tent under the stars. Popular places like the Edge of the World near Riyadh or Wadi Al Disah in Tabuk are breathtaking. Just don’t forget warm clothes by the way. It can get surprisingly chilly at night.

Visit the Beach in Yanbu

Yanbu is a hidden gem for beach lovers. As it’s located along the Red Sea, it’s the perfect spot for snorkeling, diving, or just relaxing by the water. We suggest you visit during the cooler months for the best weather.

Go for Umrah

Of course, one of the most special things you can do in Saudi Arabia is go for Umrah. It’s a journey that brings peace and purpose, and visiting Makkah and Madinah is unforgettable. After Umrah, you can also explore historical sites nearby, like Jabal Al-Noor or Quba Mosque, for even more meaning in your trip.

 

Arriving in Saudi

If you’re making plans to visit Saudi, you’ve probably thought about how to get a visa to enter the country. Here are some different types of Saudi visas you can consider:

  • Tourist Visa
  • Business Visa
  • Employment Visa
  • Family Visit Visa
  • Student Visa
  • Hajj Visa
  • Umrah Visa

 

Not all of the above visa types are easily accessible, however (as of January 2025) if you have a passport from one of the following countries, you can pay for an e-visa upon arrival:

  • Albania
  • Andorra
  • Australia
  • Austria
  • Azerbaijan
  • Belgium
  • Brunei
  • Bulgaria
  • Canada
  • China (including Hong Kong and Macau)

  • Spain
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
  • Ukraine

  • United States

 

Where to Stay During Your Visit

This is also something you’ve probably considered if you’re thinking of visiting Saudi. You’ll usually have the following options:

  • Hotels: You’ll find a wide range of hotels, from fancy ones like the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh or the Jabal Omar Marriott in Makkah to more affordable spots in smaller cities. Many hotels offer great amenities like room service, breakfast buffets, and even shuttles to popular attractions.
  • Airbnb and Vacation Rentals: If you want something that feels more like home, Airbnb is a great choice. You can find everything from cozy apartments in Jeddah to large villas in Riyadh. It’s a nice way to stay in local neighborhoods and have more space to yourself.
  • Furnished Apartments: If you’re staying for a while or traveling with family, furnished apartments are super convenient.

Getting Around in Saudi Arabia

Taxis:
Taxis are available in most cities, but they’re not always the easiest option. You might have trouble finding one on the street, especially in smaller towns or less busy areas. However, they’re a great backup if you need to get somewhere quickly. Just make sure to agree on the fare beforehand to avoid surprises.

Ride-Hailing Apps (Uber and Careem):
For a more convenient and reliable option, apps like Uber and Careem are very popular in Saudi Arabia. Both offer clean, comfortable rides, and you can book them right from your phone. These apps are available in major cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, and they let you track your ride, pay online, and even schedule pickups in advance. They’re also great if you’re not fluent in Arabic, as everything is handled through the app.

Car Rentals:
If you prefer to move around at your own pace, renting a car is a good option. Rental cars are available at major airports and in cities, with a range of options from budget-friendly vehicles to luxury models.

  • Keep in mind: You’ll need a valid driver’s license, and if you’re a visitor, an international driving permit (IDP) is often required.
  • Be prepared for some unruly driving styles in Saudi, especially in busy areas like Riyadh.

Public Transport (Limited):
While Saudi Arabia is developing its public transport systems, options like buses and the metro are mostly available in larger cities like Riyadh and Mecca. However, they might not be as convenient for tourists compared to taxis or ride-hailing apps.

It depends. Mexico is a large country, and crime rates can vary from region to region. State Department level 4 “Do Not Travel” warnings still remain in place for Chihuahua and Guanajuato.

Avoiding these areas is the best way to minimize risk. You can fit in better and prevent petty crime by learning some Spanish.

Crime in Mexico

Mexico’s crime rate varies from one region to another. Mexico is such a large country that each area has different crime statistics. In the past, Mexico was warned about as a whole, but now it is divided into different regions so that you can see which areas are safe.

The majority of crime in Mexico comes from violence between cartels. It is a serious problem, but this shouldn’t deter people from visiting Mexico. The majority of violence in Mexico is directed at drug cartels and not tourists. The drug cartels are doing this to avoid drawing the attention of the United States Government and instead concentrate their efforts on fighting amongst themselves.

Mexico’s most popular resorts are safe. They are actually targeted by drug cartels as they are important revenue sources. The drug cartels will spend less time fighting and more time making money if they can keep tourists in their town.

The border areas with the United States are some of the most dangerous places in Mexico for travellers. Tijuana, San Diego and other border cities are among the most dangerous. Ciudad Juarez is one of the Mexican cities with a high crime rate.

It is important to check the latest crime statistics for every city and region before traveling there. It is important to check the most recent data and information, since it can change every day.

In general, murder rates have steadily declined in popular tourist destinations. This is a good sign, as it means tourists aren’t being targeted directly by drug cartels. It is important to note that the overall crime rate of Mexico remains high, but can be reduced by traveling during daylight hours and staying in safe areas of the country.

Learn some Spanish before your trip to Mexico to reduce the risk of crime. You will feel more comfortable and understand the situation better if you can communicate with locals. You will be able to communicate with the locals and get around in an emergency.

Avoiding expensive items, such as a smartphone and a digital camera, will also help you to reduce your risk. Don’t wear flashy clothes or show off jewelry. Dress modestly to blend in and blend with the locals. Avoid large gatherings of people and protests as these can turn violent.

Is san miguel de allende safe?

According to web search results for San Miguel de Allende, the city is safe and has a vibrant cultural scene. According to Numbeo, the crime index is at 50.59 while the safety index is at 49.41. The nightlife in San Miguel de Allende is vibrant and exciting. Solo travelers are welcome and encouraged. This tourist zone is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with many attractions.

You should exercise caution, however, and stay away from bad neighborhoods, or areas around the bus station where minor crimes can occur. Follow the travel advice of your country, and register at the nearest embassy.

Is quintana roo state safe?

Quintana Roo, a Mexican state, is known for its many tourist attractions such as Cancun and Tulum. The state is situated on the Yucatan peninsula, which borders the Caribbean Sea.

The U.S. Department of State advises U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution when traveling to Quintana Roo due to high levels of crime and kidnapping. U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens that they should exercise extra caution when visiting Quintana, due to the high level of crime. The Government of Canada advises travellers to exercise caution due to the same reasons 2..

Tourists in Quintana are often victims of petty thefts, pickpocketing and other crimes. These crimes are usually committed in areas that are crowded, like markets, beaches and buses. Keep your documents and valuables in a secure place. Avoid carrying large sums of cash and only use reliable transportation services. Avoid walking at night or alone and be aware of your surroundings.

Quintana Roo is prone to violent crimes such as kidnappings and assaults. Tourists as well as locals may be affected by these crimes, which are usually related to organized crime and drug cartels. Avoid recreational drugs and other illegal activities. Follow the instructions from local authorities and keep an eye on local media to get the latest information. Register with the nearest consulate or embassy of your country, and follow their travel advice.

Quintana Roo offers many adventures and relaxing opportunities. You should be aware of potential dangers, and take the necessary precautions for your safety. This information should be helpful to you. Please let me know if you have other questions.

 

Drugs in Mexico

The use of drugs is a serious threat to travelers in Mexico. In some areas of Mexico, cartels sell drugs to tourists. This is especially true for those who visit beach resorts. The drugs are usually distributed on the street by locals and homeless people (Malkin, NY Times). Drug use can be a contributing factor to homicide in some cases.

Possession of heroin, cocaine, or marijuana in Mexico can lead to a prison sentence of up 25 years. Some Mexican cities and towns may also have other illegal substances such as methamphetamine. They can cause nausea, hallucinations and other health issues. Travellers with medical conditions are at risk. It is important that travellers carry their own medical supplies and seek immediate medical attention if any side effects occur.

Some Mexican towns and cities cater to drug tourists. Some pharmacies sell medications that look safe, but contain deadly fentanyl. Travelers should be cautious when purchasing medication in Mexico from street vendors or online pharmacies.

Gunmen have been involved in many drug-related incidents, including attacks on resorts and restaurants at Cancun and Playa del Carmen. The robbers have also targeted tourists on cruise ships, and clubs and bars throughout the region. These events have left many tourists traumatized, and others have decided not to travel in the region.

Drug trafficking is on the rise in Mexico as more locals become involved. The violence against foreigners has increased. There are also more people in the country who have drug addictions. Others are asymptomatic but are at risk of developing an opioid use disorder, which can lead overdoses or death.

The OUD problem in Mexico is not just a concern for those who live there. It also has an impact on Americans, as many people with OUD are moving to Tijuana to find cheaper and easier drugs.

Researchers conducted a study to examine the relationship between migration patterns and drug abuse among Mexican transnationals. Researchers found that migrants are more likely than non-migrators to have used illicit drugs, and to have consumed more drugs. This could be due to the social isolation that comes with spending so much time away from family, or to the inability to establish roots in the U.S. These findings suggest that those living near the border are at a higher risk of using drugs.

 

What parts of mexico are not safe?

Travelers should avoid certain parts of Mexico due to the high level of crime and violence. This is often linked to organized crime and drug cartels. According to web searches, the most dangerous parts of Mexico include:

  • Colima State, where homicide rates are 109.38 per 100 000 residents
  • Guerrero State, where security is in a precarious situation following the damage caused by Hurricane Otis
  • Michoacan State, where cartel clashes are common
  • Sinaloa, where the Sinaloa Cartel controls the city of Culiacan
  • Tamaulipas, a state where kidnappings of children and carjackings occur frequently
  • Zacatecas, where violence has increased over the past few years

The U.S. Department of State3 or Government of Canada4 has issued an advisory of Level “Reconsider Travel”, or Level 4 “Do Not Travel”. Avoid these areas, or use extreme caution when you travel there.

In Mexico City, there are certain neighborhoods and roads that have a high rate of crime, including Tepito. Doctores. Guerrero. Iztapalapa. Avoid traveling alone, especially after dark. Use reputable transport services and obey local authorities.

There are many beautiful and safe places to visit in Mexico, including Campeche, Yucatan, and the colonial towns and beaches. More information can be found on travel advisory websites. This information should help you to plan your trip. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Express Kidnapping

Travelers should be aware that the Mexican government is making efforts to reduce the kidnapping rate. Consult websites such as those of the U.S. State Department or SOS International and use the country-specific travel advice to learn more.

Criminals who pose as taxi drivers steal the belongings of travellers, including their credit and debit cards. They then withdraw cash at ATMs. The thieves usually demand a small ransom in order to free the hostage. This type of express abduction occurs in large urban areas, and can happen at hotels, taxis, public buses and private vehicles.

A longer-term kidnapping is also common in Mexico, when criminals keep a victim captive to gain financial benefit. The crime is usually linked to drug trafficking and can happen anywhere, no matter where you are or what your social status is.

Travellers should research their destinations before making any reservations or booking any tours. Stay up to date with local news, and avoid any areas under siege from violent gangs or drug cartels.

Take precautions and keep moving at all times if you have to travel in an area that the US State Department is highly cautious about. Avoid beaches, open areas and large crowds. Dress conservatively if you have to attend a public gathering. Avoid carrying valuables.

Traveling in Mexico requires that you also be aware of your personal safety, since the country is experiencing an increase in violence against women and sexual assault. Women should avoid showing affection in public and travel with a friend. LGBT+ people are at a higher risk of violence and discrimination. This is especially true in rural areas.

Travelers should carry travel insurance that covers cancellation of a trip, medical costs and evacuation in the event of an emergency. Travelers should also bring medication for allergies, colds, and other health issues, since many drugs are either not available or difficult to get in Mexico. Consult your travel insurance provider if you have dual citizenship between Canada and Mexico. Your coverage terms may be different. You should also carry proof of citizenship at all times, in case you have to cancel or interrupt your trip. Travellers should also avoid drinking tap-water or accepting food from strangers as it can increase their risk of infection and disease.

Are tourist areas in Mexico safe?

Mexico is a popular destination for travelers, featuring charming towns, ancient ruins, and picturesque beaches. However, there are also high levels of crime, particularly violent crime, such as homicides, kidnappings, carjacking and assaults, in some parts of the country. These crimes are often related to drug cartels and organized crime, and may affect tourists as well as locals.

Some of the safest cities in Mexico are Merida, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, and Cancun. These cities are located in the Yucatan Peninsula or along the Pacific coast, and are known for their beautiful scenery, vibrant nightlife, and cultural attractions. They are also relatively uninvolved in cartel conflicts and have low rates of violent crime directed at visitors.

However, some areas of Mexico are considered very dangerous and should be avoided by travelers. These include Guerrero State, where the security situation is precarious following damage by Hurricane Otis, and several states where clashes between cartels or gangs are common, such as Chihuahua, Colima, Coahuila, Durango, Michoacan, Nayarit, Nuevo Leon, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas. There are also specific neighborhoods or roads in other cities that are known for high crime rates, such as Tepito, Doctores, Guerrero, and Iztapalapa in Mexico City.

Therefore, if you are planning to travel to Mexico, you should exercise a high degree of caution and take necessary precautions to ensure your safety, such as:

  • avoid traveling alone or after dark
  • monitor local media for the latest updates on the situation
  • follow the instructions of local authorities
  • avoid recreational drugs and illegal activities
  • keep your valuables and documents in a safe place
  • use reputable transportation services and avoid hitchhiking
  • register with the nearest embassy or consulate

There are also different levels of risk for each state and region in Mexico. These range from “do NOT travel” to “exercise usual precautions”. Among the factors that influence the level of risk are the presence of organized crime, drug cartels and natural disasters.

Campeche and Yucatan are two of the most safest places in Mexico for U.S. residents. You can take normal precautions. These are the states located on the Yucatan Peninsula. They are famous for their Mayan ruins and colonial towns.

Traveling alone is an experience that can be as daunting as it is rewarding. The idea of exploring foreign lands and unknown territories without a familiar companion may be intimidating, but the personal growth, freedom, and opportunities that solo travel brings are unparalleled. In this guide, we’ve put together some of the best tips for solo travel, along with resources to ensure you stay safe and make the most of your solo trips.

Benefits of Solo Travel

Solo travel encourages personal growth and hones your independence. You’re the captain of your ship, testing your problem-solving skills and decision-making capabilities every step of the way. It takes you out of your comfort zone and plunges you into a world of self-discovery and empowerment.

One of the primary benefits of traveling alone is the absolute freedom it offers. Someone else’s desires or pace does not tie you down. You can spend time lingering at a museum, take an impromptu walking tour, or sit and watch the world go by in a local café without worrying about anyone else’s schedule.

Solo travel provides the opportunity to meet new people. You’re more likely to strike up a conversation with a local or another solo traveler, fostering connections and friendships that a travel companion may unintentionally hinder.

Tips for Traveling Alone

  1. Research and Plan: Understand the cultural norms and customs of your destination. Familiarize yourself with local laws, tourist spots, and basic phrases if there’s a language barrier. Having a rough plan’s always a good idea, but remain flexible to adapt to changes.
  2. Social Accommodations: Hostels, guesthouses, or similar accommodations are great places to meet fellow travelers. You may even find a travel companion for day tours or meals.
  3. Safety: Be aware of your surroundings, especially if you’re traveling for long periods of time. Always trust your instincts, keep your valuables secure, and have a backup credit card or emergency cash.
  4. Stay Connected: Regularly update family and friends back home about your whereabouts. Use social media or instant messaging apps to let them know you’re safe.
  5. Embrace the Experience: Be open to new opportunities. Join travel groups or take part in community activities. Every experience contributes to your adventure.

Resources for Solo Travel

There are numerous resources to help you navigate the world of solo traveling. Websites like Solo Traveler, Travel Lemming, Under30Experiences, and Rabbie’s Tours, provide invaluable advice, from packing lists to destination guides. Publications such as Travel and Leisure offer essentials for every trip, including safety alarms and packable backpacks.

Before embarking on your adventure, consider getting travel insured. This provides an added layer of security, ensuring you’re covered in case of accidents, illnesses, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Remember, solo travel isn’t about time traveling alone; it’s about self-discovery and independence. It’s an invitation to venture beyond the familiar and engage with the world on your own terms. It may seem challenging at first, but with the right preparation, solo travel can be an empowering and life-changing experience. Whether you choose to wander through ancient ruins, enjoy the hustle of a city, or bask in the tranquility of a secluded beach, make the journey your own. Be bold, be brave, and relish the thrill of the open road.

4. So, what is the current travel advisory level for Cabo San Lucas?

Current travel advisory level for Cabo San Lucas

As of June 7th 2023, the U.S. Department of State issued a Level 2 travel advisory due to crime and kidnapping risks throughout Mexico, though this warning does not apply uniformly across its states; some have higher risk levels than others.

Baja California Sur, where Cabo San Lucas can be found, has an advisory level of Level 1: Exercise normal precautions. This indicates there are no significant safety or security issues which would prevent travelers from visiting this state.

However, the travel advisory cautions travelers against venturing beyond tourist areas due to an increase in criminal activity such as robbery, carjacking and homicide that could occur in some parts of Baja California Sur.

Information on the absence of travel restrictions for U.S. government employees

Cabo San Lucas is another safe destination for tourists as evidenced by its lack of travel restrictions for U.S. government employees. When the Department of State considers a destination too dangerous or unstable, travel restrictions are placed upon its personnel limiting or prohibiting their movements to certain regions within a country.

Due to high levels of violence and crime in Mexico, the U.S. Department of State has placed travel restrictions on some states – Colima, Guerrero Michoacan Sinaloa Tamaulipas. There are no travel restrictions placed upon Baja California Sur, which means U.S. government employees can freely visit Cabo San Lucas or any other part of its boundaries.

This indicates that Cabo San Lucas is relatively safe compared to other parts of Mexico and that the U.S. government does not consider it as an high-risk destination for its personnel.

Latest Updates/News from Los Cabos

To gain an accurate grasp on how safe Cabo San Lucas is in 2023, it can also be beneficial to look at recent news from Los Cabos (comprising Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo): Here are a few headlines and events which took place within this municipality:

  • May 26: Los Cabos Tourism Board announced on May 26 the launch of a digital tourist service directory to ensure visitor safety. This platform provides information and contact details of various tourist services in Los Cabos region such as hotels,restaurants,tours,transportation and medical facilities that meet health and safety protocols and standards. It aims to help visitors quickly locate reliable certified services.
  • March 17: Los Cabos Municipal President, Enrique Peafloria reported traffic congestion had increased significantly due to increased tourist and resident arrivals, and announced plans to improve road infrastructure and mobility by expanding highways, building bridges and tunnels, creating bike lanes and pedestrian paths, among other strategies.
  • April 20:Los Cabos Tourism Board reported an impressive surge in tourist numbers and popularity of their region during the first quarter of 2023 – up 25% year over year from 2022! Los Cabos was also listed as second most popular Mexican destination among international visitors after Cancun.

These updates and news demonstrate that Cabo San Lucas is a thriving tourist destination that continues to improve its services and infrastructure to meet the expectations and meet needs of its visitors. They also demonstrate that Cabo San Lucas does not currently face any major security or health concerns which would discourage tourists from visiting.

5. Safety Tips for Tourists in Cabo

While Cabo San Lucas is generally safe for tourists, it is still wise to exercise proper precaution and common sense while traveling there. Here are a few safety tips for visitors looking forward to enjoying Cabo without incident:

  • Avoid traveling alone at night or in unfamiliar areas, especially at times of the year. Travel in groups whenever possible and remain in well-lit, populated locations for maximum safety.
  • Avoid showing off signs of wealth by wearing flashy jewelry, carrying large sums of cash or using flashy gadgets that display wealth. Keep all valuables out of sight or secure them at home.
  • Avoid engaging in illegal activities, such as purchasing or using drugs, gambling illegally or soliciting prostitution. Such activities could put you in dangerous situations and legal ramifications may follow.
  • Avoid drinking too much alcohol or accepting drinks from strangers; alcohol can impair your judgment and put you more at risk of scams, theft and assault. Drink responsibly and always monitor the level of alcohol in your system.
  • Avoid engaging in arguments or fights with locals or fellow tourists, if any hostilities arise, defuse the situation immediately or walk away. Violence is rare in Cabo but it is best to avoid unnecessary hassle as much as possible.
  • Staying alert and aware of your surroundings is essential to keeping safe. Be wary of any signs of danger or suspicious activity in the vicinity, as well as reporting incidents or emergencies to local authorities and hotel staff immediately.

6. Recommendations for exercising reasonable caution

While Cabo is generally safe for tourists, it is still wise to take reasonable precautions. These measures include using only legal transportation services, avoiding less populated areas especially at nighttime and staying informed on local news updates and happenings.

7. Conclusion

In summary, although the U.S. State Department advises travelers to exercise increased caution when traveling to Cabo San Lucas due to crime issues, most tourists find the city generally safe for tourism. Local government has made active efforts to address fake transport services and traffic congestion issues so as to maximize tourist safety and convenience; nonetheless it remains important for visitors to remain aware of their surroundings and exercise reasonable caution while visiting Cabo San Lucas.

Here are some recommendations for exercising reasonable caution while still making the most of your Cabo experience:

  • Explore Cabo’s natural wonders and attractions, such as El Arco, Medano Beach, Playa del Amor, Divorce Beach, Whale Watch Cabo, Church of Saint Luke, Chileno Beach, Mt. Solmar, and Marina Cabo San Lucas. These places are safe and accessible for tourists, and offer stunning views and experiences.

how to travel with a dog in a car

Summer is our favorite season, but sometimes they don’t go together. We postpone dog travel to more temperate days when temperatures rise to dangerous levels.
Sometimes life can get in the way, and sometimes you just have to go.

Here are some suggestions if you need to take your dog with you during extreme heat.

1. You should ensure that your car is ready for the journey. Make sure that you have done all you can to prepare for your trip before you leave. You don’t want a breakdown on the road or an AC that isn’t working.

2. Get started early in the morning. Even though we can get up to 80 degrees in the summer, it’s still better than triple digits. Before we go out, we walk our dogs so they know that they have had a good walk.

3. Freeze water – We fill our liter bottles with 1/3 of the water we need and then freeze them. We only carry one unfrozen water bottle, but the rest are frozen. Tiki and Irie have cool water as they thaw during stops.

4. You should pack more water than you think. You should pack twice the amount of water you think you will need. It’s possible to be delayed, have car trouble, or have to give water to your dog (or yourself) to cool down.

5. Be careful of the pavement – On hot days, it’s enough heat to fry an egg and tender paws on concrete and asphalt. Beach sand can also be unbearably hot. We try to find shaded and near-grass spots for our potty stops so that the dogs can jump out onto cooler surfaces as soon as we park. Protective booties are required if you plan to park in a city setting. To protect your dog’s paws, place a towel on the pavement if she will be required to get out of the car. To give your dog a cool spot to stand, add some water to the pavement.

6. Plan your activities accordingly. The heat is too oppressive from lunch to dinner that we won’t allow the dogs to swim. We spent the day in the nursing home, and then we drove to the beach for dinner and a walk along the coast. The best times to go for walks, swimming, or outdoor fun are in the late evenings and early mornings.
Avoid making too many stops in the heat of the moment. We enjoyed a morning walk, picnic, and plenty of swimming on the second day of our nursing home visit. It was just before noon. After it was hot, we drove home with a drive-thru meal. We didn’t need to shut off the AC because Tiki and Irie were still sleeping so we kept going.

7. Do not leave your dog alone in the car. Never. Never again. Plan bathroom breaks in pet-friendly stores such as PetSmart or Petco if you are traveling solo.

8. You should keep an eye out for heat stress signs in your dog. Both heat exhaustion or heat stroke can be dangerous for you and your dog. Be aware of the following: Signs of heatstroke in dogs.

9. Cooling products are available. You can also check out cooling mats for dogs for your car. But remember that if you stop for a long time or overnight, you will need to take the mat off the car.

Extreme temperatures are not the best time to take your dog on a summer vacation. You will need to travel when temperatures reach triple digits. Make sure you take extra precautions so that all your four-legged passengers are safe and comfortable.

Best Time to Travel to Cancun

When it comes to finding the best time to travel to Cancun, the answer often depends on which season you are visiting. In general, the best time of the year to travel to Cancun is from June through November, but this is not always the case. This is because a hurricane or two can come up any time of the year and can ruin your trip. While tropical storms may be inevitable, there are some other variables that may influence when is the best time to travel to Cancun.

Rainy Season

If you are traveling to Cancun in the off-season, the best time to travel to Cancun is between mid-November and mid-March. This is the off-season because the rains have stopped and the waters have started to warm up. At this time of the year, everything will be fresh and dry so you can travel as you normally would. It can be a bit colder during the winter, but a hurricane season never really comes into play.

Time to visit Cancun

So, what is the best time to travel to Cancun if hurricane season has come to Cancun? The answer is any time – it does not matter what month it is. When a hurricane is approaching, many tourists will opt to cancel their trips and wait out the storm. Others will travel during hurricane season just to make sure they can still visit Cancun, which happens more often than you might think.

Popular time

What time of the year is best for travel to Cancun? Some people travel in May, which is the peak month for tourist traffic. At this time of the year, hotel prices are at their highest and the lines to get into the hotel that day are often quite long. You also need to plan your itinerary properly to ensure you will reach your desired destination on time. If you travel at this time of year, it is best to book your hotel as early as possible.

Another good time to travel to Cancun is in November or December (winter months). This is hurricane season, so there are fewer tourists around. It is also a bit quieter at this time of the year. In addition, many hotels and resorts are operating at a reduced rate. Many people also chose to travel to Cancun in mid December because the high school holidays are around the corner-and many students will be away from school for the holidays.

When is the best time to travel to Cancun? The best time to travel to Cancun depends on your personal situation. If you have no particular reason to visit the island, then the answer is anytime. There is no specific time of the year that is more popular or warmer than any other time of the year. However, if you are looking to hit the beach or participate in some type of special event that coincides with hurricane season, then you will want to make your reservations as quickly as possible.

What can I pack for when I am planning to travel to Cancun? The best time to travel to Cancun depends on what your packing style is. If you are the type of traveler that travels light and just needs some basic necessities such as clothing and toiletries, then you can choose to rent a simple hotel room and fill up your own refrigerator with food, making all your meals at the hotel.

If you are the type of traveler that expects an exciting and stimulating vacation, then you will want to consider taking a package tour. A package tour is a group tour that includes everything from breakfast to dinner. This is the best time to travel to Cancun because you are assured that everything will go smoothly and you will not have to worry about anything not going according to your expectations. The only thing you do not have to worry about is time-zone issues!

How Far Do Mosquitoes Travel in the United States? https://travelwith.org/how-far-do-mosquitoes-travel-in-the-united-states/ Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:55:12 +0000 https://travelwith.org/?p=3126 How far do Mosquitoes Travel?

How far do Mosquitoes Travel? It is a common question asked by many people wondering how they can get rid of the annoying and sometimes painful mosquito bites. Mosquitoes tend to be found in every part of the world where there is water. They are especially prevalent in tropical areas where the humidity is very high.

how far do mosquitoes travel

Many people ask “how far do mosquitoes fly?” This is a common question especially to those who live in high places where the humidity is very high. The answer to this question will not be based on how fast these bugs move but on the temperature of the area they live in. Mosquitoes can travel at the speed of over a mile per hour. The average distance that mosquitoes fly is about 25 feet.

It is believed that certain mosquitoes are only able to travel a few miles from their original breeding grounds. These species are well adapted to living in humid areas where the humidity is high. They also tend to lay their eggs in cool moist places, such as ditches or puddles. On the other hand, other mosquito species have been known to travel hundreds of miles from their original breeding grounds.

How long do mosquitoes fly? Well, some can go as much as three weeks without moving. A mosquito can breed as many as forty times in an eight week period. A mosquito can breed as many as ten thousand eggs during a two week period.

Now that you know how mosquitoes fly, let’s take a look at how they get repelled. Mosquitoes love a very specific type of scent. Some mosquitoes love citrus odors, but others don’t. In order to repel mosquitoes away, you need to use a repellent that not only smells great, but also contains citronella. You can find citronella-based repellents in all sorts of different formats, from sprays to powders to cans.

When did mosquitoes first begin to be repelled by citronella? We believe the first attempts were made about 200 years ago in Central America. People were using Cayenne pepper as a way to make themselves itchier when they traveled and fell sick. When they smeared the pepper on themselves, they became less likely to become infected with cholera.

So how far do mosquitoes travel? Well, some say twenty feet. Scientists have also determined that females can travel up to five miles from their eggs. That means they could be traveling up to twenty feet away before they lay their eggs. That’s pretty amazing!

Now you know how fast and far mosquitoes prefer to be bitten. It’s time to put those facts to use. If you want to keep yourself safe from an infected mosquito bite, then be sure to apply some sort of insect repellent. Also, wear light colored clothing if you plan on being out in nature a lot.

Do male mosquitoes have longer life spans than females? Well, scientists don’t know for sure, but it is believed they can live up to four and a half to five years. Is it possible they can outlive their hosts? Some people speculate that when the ticks are gone, the mosquitoes will not survive very long because their predators will devour them.

So how can you keep mosquitoes away? Well, one option is to use an insect repellent that has a smell. This method might not work as well as you would like for mosquitoes to not be able to sense your body heat and the scent of the repellent. If you find that to be the case, look for other options.

How far do mosquitoes travel in the United States? Well, over one hundred thousand mosquitoes fly each and every hour. Over one hundred fifty thousand mosquitoes bite each and every year in the United States. That works out to over five million mosquitoes per year! It seems mosquitoes have a very bad sense of smell.

What kind of mosquitoes are you dealing with in the United States? Asian Tiger Mosquitoes is the most common type of mosquito in the United States. They can be found all over, from Florida to New York. There is one difference between Asian Tiger Mosquitoes and all other kinds of mosquitoes. All other types of mosquitoes live in stagnant pools of water, whereas Asian Tigers prefer standing on plants or in standing water.

What Can Travel Around The World While Staying In A Corner?

What Can Travel Around The World While Staying In A Corner?

The world is full of questions that cannot be answered. Some are simple, some require scientific research, and others are more metaphysical. One question that has baffled mankind for centuries is what can travel around the world while staying in a corner? Well, there are good news and bad news. Let’s start with the good news.

The correct answer to this riddle is postage stamp. It really is the answer to what can travel around the world while staying in a corner. While I still may not understand how postage stamps work, I do know where they are! Stamps are issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to cover the cost of mailing internationally.

Mailing internationally is expensive. And it costs money. The alternative answers to what can travel around the world while staying in a corner are: airline tickets, which are very expensive and are only available on certain days of the week, the hotel rooms that are not located within an airport, or driving to a location in order to receive a stamp. All three of these alternatives are costly and inefficient, and do not create a safe means of traveling around the globe. What can travel around the world when staying in a corner is the alternative answer provided in this article.

To answer the question posed in the title, postage stamps are the answer to what can travel around the world while staying in a corner. Postage stamps are a form of currency that can be used to send a message from one country to another. In order to receive this message, the recipient simply stamps the appropriate area with a postage stamp. This can be useful in a variety of situations, such as: sending a message to a friend overseas, sending a congratulatory message for a birth of someone important to you, or to inform the recipient that a package has been received.

However, postage stamps are not the only answer. There is also the riddle of where to find the address to a destination, as well as the question of what can travel around the world while staying in a corner. This riddle poses itself in several different ways. Some people are looking for a way to get to their destination faster, some people are looking for an easy way to receive mail at their home address, while others are simply looking for the correct address to send the mail to.

The first solution to what can travel around the world while staying in a corner is to simply take advantage of a worldwide mover, whether via air, sea, or land transportation. A lot of people have a difficult time with this idea because they have a hard time accepting that just because the mail is coming from one part of the country, it’s not going to get there all in one piece. However, there are services out there that help you get your mail wherever you are. These services will even stamp your mail for you so that you don’t have to. It’s a very convenient thing to have available to you.

The second solution to what can travel around the world while staying in a corner is to use a worldwide moving company. A lot of people are reluctant to go through any kind of organization that is based solely over the internet. However, using a worldwide moving company can be much easier than relying on traditional means of shipping. With a global mover, you can trust that the address you receive is real and that you will receive your package on time. Some people even choose to use these services instead of hiring a private individual to make their overnight trip.

The final solution to what can travel around the world while staying in a corner is to simply use a stamp to get your package across the globe. There are numerous methods that you can try to solve this riddle. You can actually buy stamps online, or you can actually use postage stamps that you receive from the Post Office. No matter which method you use, it’s always better to have options available in case you run into problems.

complain about hotels

During these crazy times of the coronavirus outbreak many hotels are closed. No one can say how long this will be, but there comes a time when everything will be back to normal. When this will be the case we will travel and stay in hotels again.

Worldwide there are around 700.000 hotels/motels/resorts. Research estimates more then 17.5 million rooms. Even though they specialize in hospitality, hotels aren’t always perfect. Tons of things can go wrong from stale food to room mix-ups, to lousy service. To help hotel companies improve, it’s important to complain about hotels when problems arise.

However, whether the problem is resolved depends on how effectively you issue the complaint.

Don’t know how?

Luckily for you, we’ve compiled some tips to keep in mind when you’re complaining about hotels. These tips will help you process your hotel complaint faster and reach a solution.

Where Should You Complain About Hotels?

Firstly, you have to decide where you’re going to complain. This largely depends on how big the problem is.

For example; if it’s something minor like bad food, you can simply resolve the complaint within the hotel. However, if it’s a major complaint or they just won’t listen, you can take it up with outside resources. No one likes to sleep in a dirty room or swim in a pool with too much bacteria. Situations like this are not only uncomfortable, they can even be dangerous. With a complaint, we can at least try to make a change.

Effective Hotel Complaint

In any case, here are your options:

The Front Desk/Hotel Manager

Undoubtedly, going to the front desk should be your first step. Most front desks are very helpful in facilitating complaints. Most of them are even trained how to handle complaints.

Similarly, the hotel manager is also likely to take your complaint seriously. If you’re complaining about the hotel facilities, these are your go-to people.

Social Media

However, if your complaint has to do with the management itself, you can use social media to make yourself heard.

Lots of hotels have social media pages, which are frequented by potential customers. If you put up a complaint there, their corporate customer service will often contact you. Don’t be ashamed to do this.

Complaint platforms

Alternatively, you can call on third-parties like complain.biz. Complain.biz reaches out to organizations on your behalf to ensure your complaint is taken seriously. They will also give your complaint attention on their website and social media.

All you have to do is fill out your details, hotel information, and specify your complaint. It’s straightforward and convenient. The chance of a resolved complaint will improve drastically.

Tips to Make an Effective Hotel Complaint

Complaint platforms

Now that you know where you’re going to complain, how do you make it more effective? First and foremost, regardless of how bad the problem is, it’s best to keep calm.

This is true for any complaint. People always hear you better when you talk rationally rather than angrily.

Other than that, you should:

Be Specific

Always add details of what happened and why was it such a problem. Let’s say you’re complaining about a staff member. Specify their appearance, name, and designation (if you know it).

Even websites like complain.biz ask you to be specific about the complaint.

Be Timely

Time is of the essence when you’re issuing complaints. Therefore, regardless of how upset you are, it’s important to complain promptly.

Otherwise, your complaint is likely to lose relevance and priority for the hotel. Don’t wait more than one week.

Be Patient Yet Persistent

As mentioned, you must remain calm and patient through the complaining process. However, this doesn’t mean that you should let them off easy.

If your complaint is justified, be persistent until everything’s resolved. In that way, the hotel won’t make the same mistake twice.

Conclusion

Hotels are the heart of the service industry. Consequently, if they go wrong somewhere, it’s important to point it out. Good hotels understand that even in the best hotels sometimes things go wrong. More important is how customer service will deal with these situations. In many cases just a good conversation, and maybe a small gesture of goodwill, is enough to turn an angry visitor into a happy advocate who might even come back.

Staying silent won’t fix the problem, so make sure to complain, albeit effectively. With these pointers, your problem will be fixed in no time. We hope you found this article helpful.
