How do you find travel inspiration without falling for the hype? Sometimes I’ll see a destination trending online and immediately add it to my list—only to later realize it’s overrun and overpriced. How do you find places to go that feel fresh but still live up to the experience?

The hype is what gets my attention, but then I do my own research that isn't just Instagram or tiktok. Blogs, Google, outside reviews, pricing hotels and activities, pictures, etc and make my decision from there. I also do not go anywhere with any real expectations as I'm usually let down when I do

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
