I love traveling and have been all over Asia, Europe and Central America…but I recently lost my travel partner due to a breakup. :( I’m a little uncertain about venturing out on my own. Am planning on quitting my job in September (yay!) and am looking for ideas on places to go or some kind of tour for the under 35 crowd that’s not super cheesy. Any ideas from fellow travelers??

Mr.Kool :

i have a passion to travel to one of the states of ex russian federation.Like Georgia,Ukraine,Uzbekistan or Estonia etc.But I am a little limited with the budget.And I heard hotels can be expensive in these countries.So,I would like to know which is the cheapest country to visit and if some one can advise me any figure off the budget for a month stay in that state,will be great.Also,if some has visited multiple states,and can compare the beauty,fun,clubs,beaches and budget,will be helpful,thanks.

Hi, I am travelling to Uzbekistan by Turkish airlines. In Istanbul airport I have a to wait about 9 hours. How long does it take to travel from the airport to downtown and comeback to airport on time? What do you recommend to take taxi or subway? What attractions could be seen in Istanbul?

A while back ago I readed a book about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict; the book called; “Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War” by “Thomas De Waal”.

The book mentions an ancient state in the Caucasus called “Aghbania” or as Western sources call it “Caucasian Albania”.

Its well accepted that Azerbaijanis are natives to the Caucasus as most other ethnic groups there. So its highly unlikely that millions of Azerbaijanis just travel from Central Asia and settled in the Caucasus in 1918 and established a democratic state from air. So I want to know are Azerbaijanis descendants of Caucasian Albania? And would it be possible to add a map of Caucasian Albania here?

PS: Although Caucasian Albania and modern Albania share a common name, these two are independent states from very different regions, they are not to be confused.
