Have you ever been to Bilbao, Spain?

This week, we will go to Bilbao as a major U.S. airline announced that there will be nonstop service from the U.S. Plus, how about Ostrava? And I've got a Passrider Tip for you.

This week, I produced a new post on Bilbao, Spain. I’ve been writing it for a while now, but since United announced they will be flying to Bilbao in May 2025, it was perfect timing. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve also updated the post I did when I visited Ostrava, Czechia back in 2018, so be sure and check that one out if you’re looking for a laid-back place to visit.

I also compiled almost an hour of footage from planes landing and taking off at St. Barth. Please take a look; it’s fascinating… At least, I think it is :-).

And I have a simple Passrider Tip for you.

When you travel, take two toothbrushes with you. This way, if one happens to get lost, damaged or falls in the toilet, you have another one and you don’t have to scramble.

How are things in your neck of the woods?

HAVE YOU BEEN TO BILBAO, SPAIN YET?

The Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain

I visited Bilbao, Spain in June of this year. I liked the town as there are lots of gems, plus it has a Guggenheim museum. Take a look at what’s there to do. Now that a major U.S. airline will start flying there next year, it’s easier to get there.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

A dear friend of mine recently fell ill while on holiday and, unfortunately, didn’t have travel insurance. She had to pay out of pocket for a doctor and nurse to visit her at home for treatment.

Thankfully, after four days, she recovered enough to fly back home for further care.

This experience is a reminder that travel insurance is as essential as booking your flights and hotel—it’s a crucial part of your journey. It offers peace of mind when you’re on the road, which is why I always carry an annual policy.

Consider getting travel insurance for each trip or an annual plan. You never know when you’ll need it—until you do.
