This week: Help me, LP! We want to answer your burning travel questions. | Ask us anything (on travel) | I’ve spent the past two weeks with my OOO on, making my second trip this year to South America. This time, I wandered to Ecuador, checking out the frenetic streets of Quito, taking cheesy pictures at the equator and hiking to a refugio on Cotopaxi volcano before hopping over to the islands of the Galápagos to see its black sand, volcanic rock beaches and giant tortoises.
Much of our staff is on the road for the summer season – both for work and pleasure. And as you get ready for your own summer travels I encourage you to tap into the collective kilometers of expertise among our staff and network of contributors in our “Help me, LP” series, where we tackle some of your burning travel questions.
Our advice has ranged from planning a trip to China to seeing Europe by train in a week. This week, we’re taking a look at navigating travel in hostels – particularly for women contemplating staying in a mixed dorm setting. Want to submit a question?
