- How to use your new
travel guide, Reddit.
Ah, Reddit, the website for
upvotes, t.v. show theories
and memes that'll find
their way to Instagram.
But, the site is also great for anyone
who's been bitten by the travel bug.
Don't believe me, let me explain.
Check the local subreddits.
(perky music)
Whether you're going to Paris, France
or Charleston, South
Carolina, first take a stroll
through the city's subreddit.
(perky music)
Write down everything that you find
interesting or concerning.
And, if you have a question
that's not being answered, just ask.
(perky music)
But make sure it's as
specific as possible.
Everyone's already
asked about the weather,
best neighborhoods to stay at, et cetera.
Maybe you want to know what attractions
can best suit a 5-year-old
and a 16-year-old.
Maybe you want to know where you can go
that's ADA accessible or the best train
to take for easy access around the city.
Regardless, you want
questions that will give you
detailed responses,
rather than a, has been
posted here 100 times
already, with a downvote
to go with it.

Supplement for other travel websites.
Websites like Tripadvisor and Expedia
might be great, but Reddit can offer
not just a rating and review of the hotels
you're thinking of staying in, but two-way
communication with travelers
who've stayed there too.

Reddit can also be helpful in figuring out
your itinerary or the
best ways to get around,
having more active forums
that travel-specific sites.
Give back.
If you're going to take
all of this information
and have the trip of a
lifetime, you might as well
give some info back, right?
Hated your hotel in Orlando?
Loved the sushi place you found in Tokyo?
Couldn't navigate the London tube
as well as you expected.
Make sure to be detailed
in your experiences.
We promise your fellow travel junkies
will want to hear it and you won't have
to bore your coworkers with stories
about how blue the water in Bora Bora was.
No one wants to hear that.
There you go, the rules
for navigating the travel
guide known as Reddit.
We hope your next vacay
gets all of the upvotes.
