11:2411:24, 24 May 2025 diff hist +287 Ukraine →Sensitive issues: See talk page. current
11:1811:18, 24 May 2025 diff hist +297 Belarus →Visa-free: See talk: you're allowed to get in by car, but you probably won't. https://mfa.gov.by/en/visa/freemove/europe/ current

17:0017:00, 22 May 2025 diff hist +102 Belgium →Other destinations: Many anglophones will consider Ypres mainly with WWI, but let's not forget it's also a city of stunning (rebuilt) mediaeval beauty. current

22:3222:32, 21 May 2025 diff hist +30 Moldova It's not like only three or so people visit is every year... current
21:4321:43, 21 May 2025 diff hist +259 Belgium →Talk: A caveat: if you are a Dutch learner and hear the Flemish talk amongst themselves, it can sound quite forbidding. Don't be deterred, because they will gladly switch to Standard Dutch for you.
21:3221:32, 21 May 2025 diff hist −17 Belgium →LGBTQ: Physical attacks aren't quite common, but stares and verbal abuse may be encountered.
21:3021:30, 21 May 2025 diff hist +297 Belgium →Respect
21:1921:19, 21 May 2025 diff hist −163 Azerbaijan →Other things to watch for: Is there any country where littering is socially accepted? Common sense if there ever was some... current
07:0407:04, 21 May 2025 diff hist +132 Indonesia →Talk: One more thing about Indonesian: it has this thing with personal pronouns, though the system is not quite as fine-grained as Japanese or Thai. current

22:5322:53, 20 May 2025 diff hist +252 Indonesia →Talk: There may be easier languages to learn for English speakers, but it is a big relief if you ever tried learning another language from this part of the world...
13:1113:11, 20 May 2025 diff hist +144 Ukraine →Sensitive issues: This may happen quite often in Ukraine, since many people are more fluent in Russian than they are English.
12:5812:58, 20 May 2025 diff hist +976 Talk:Ukraine →To be added to the "Respect" section?: new section Tag: New topic
12:2712:27, 20 May 2025 diff hist +52 Poland →Go next: If you're travelling on spec, Belarus and Kaliningrad are not obvious destinations to go next. For one thing, you need a visa for Russia. For another, most crossings have been closed. current
12:0812:08, 20 May 2025 diff hist +117 Poland →LGBT travellers: This should become clear from the map of "LGBT free gminas", but it won't bother to mention explicitly where the divide in this polarised country lies.
12:0212:02, 20 May 2025 diff hist −17 Poland →Politics: The conservatives are no longer in power, thought the deeper truth about polarisation is not quite outdated.

12:1212:12, 19 May 2025 diff hist +2 m Ukraine →Scams, robbery and other crimes: Minus russicism (or ukrainism?): гожорить свободно - to speak fluently, not "freely".

16:5616:56, 16 May 2025 diff hist +58 Russia +Dutch travel advisory: don't go to Russia unless necessary, and avoid the Caucasus and the Ukrainian border region at all cost.

15:0815:08, 14 May 2025 diff hist −24 Old towns of Benelux →Netherlands: Dubious
13:4613:46, 14 May 2025 diff hist −21 United States of America →LGBT: A cumbersome wording like "even to a degree on par with or exceeding" already indicates that you can only make broad judgements about this.
13:3813:38, 14 May 2025 diff hist +257 Talk:Poland →Road safety
10:5910:59, 14 May 2025 diff hist +571 Talk:Poland →Road safety: new section Tag: New topic
09:4909:49, 14 May 2025 diff hist +264 Poland →By bicycle: My experience is that cycling in Poland gets easier and safer every year, and that Polish drivers are quite careful. In fact, quite a few people use DK and DW roads for cycling.

07:1107:11, 14 May 2025 diff hist +14 User:Steinbach →Countries I've been to (not necessarily by bike): Wait - not mentioning the destination I'm most proud of?

22:2622:26, 13 May 2025 diff hist +3,031 N User:Steinbach Created page with "I'm Steinbach from the Netherlands. My native language is Dutch, my English skills are only so-so. But hey, where else can I find so much information as on the English Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or Wikivoyage? So I hang around here anyway. I never was much of a traveller, until at age 29 I took the courage to do what I had been dreaming about for ages: travel to Steenbecque in Northern France, the place where my family hails from. Since then I have done a lot of cyc..."
20:4820:48, 13 May 2025 diff hist −1 m Vologda →Understand current
20:1320:13, 13 May 2025 diff hist +113 United States of America →Protests: See for instance the Dutch travel advisory for the US: https://www.nederlandwereldwijd.nl/reisadvies/verenigde-staten-van-amerika. With the rest of this section in mind, these concerns aren't exactly futile.
19:5119:51, 13 May 2025 diff hist +250 Talk:Russia →Travel advisories: new section Tag: New topic

20:2820:28, 12 May 2025 diff hist −5 Goes No edit summary
20:1620:16, 12 May 2025 diff hist +3 Places with unusual names →Japan: No "The Hague" has nothing to do with ports. You might have confused it with another city. current
20:0620:06, 12 May 2025 diff hist +4 Bulgaria →Go next: For heaven's sake, not all our readers are from America! I live in Europe, have never left the continent in the first place, so even if I went straight back home from Bulgaria I would definitely "stay in Europe for long". current

11:4311:43, 10 May 2025 diff hist −138 Moldova →Money: This sentence is not about money, though it might have its place elsewhere in the page.

23:2423:24, 9 May 2025 diff hist 0 Russia →Talk: Don't assume the readers of this project are all native speaker of English.
12:1312:13, 9 May 2025 diff hist −14 Lithuania →Go next: Border all but closed as of 2025 and little chance of reopening soon. In fact Lithuania is planning to bury anti-tank mines at the border. So Belarus is not the obvious place to "go next".
