Should you haggle with street vendors, or just pay the asking price? I know haggling is common in some places, but I always feel guilty doing it, even if I know the price is inflated. What’s your take—do you negotiate, or do you think it’s better to just pay up and support local vendors?

Whenever I travel, I research the place, culture, and customs. This would really depend on where you are. If it's expected, the prices are probably higher than they are planning on selling it for, so there's no need to feel guilty.

Depends where you are - always in SE Asia, definitely in Morocco, Turkey and UAE since it is more cultural (note this takes a lot of time investment) and in the EU, or North/South America is questionable.

North America- questionable? How about- not done

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!!
