"/trv/ - Travel" is 4chan's imageboard dedicated to travel and the countries of the world.
Hey voyagers,
/trv/ is a slow board, so don't expect immediate responses. CHECK THE CATALOG – you might find threads already discussing topics you're interested in.
Before asking for suggestions, tell /trv/ about your:
>Budget
>Interests
>Level of understanding of the local language(s)
This makes it easier to give quality advice. Of course, keep your posts travel related.
For all other matters:
General culture questions >>>/int/
Politics discussion >>>/pol/
Transportation discussion >>>/n/
Outdoors-related discussion >>>/out/
For more information about safety, planning and other miscellaneous topics, check out the pastebin in the next post: Next /twg/ meetup will be held in Barcade in Taipei sometime in November. headed to vegas for two nights early december
please share suggestions for entertainment, food, gambling, museums, tips & tricks, etc. any and all vegas insight welcome I'm going to New Orleans in a week. I want to hear brass bands and eat oysters. Where's good? I'm not a "foodie," so I'm not looking for anything fancy or trendy. I just love oysters and don't currently live in a good place for oysters. Old thread: >>2729863
We 're high. Discuss Thailand travel here. Of the arab countries that are currently possible to visit as a tourist, which one of them isn’t severely inhospitable, dangerous and a complete dump.
Say, if you’re a single white male. Because if you’re a female the obvious answer would be: none of them. >arrive at hotel
>immediately homesick Anybody timing their travels to experience some sort of natural phenomenon?
Eclipses, animal migrations, perfect weather conditions. etc.
Let me hear about those special events 
>Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/all-thailands-expatriates-should-register-with-trd-says-tax-expert-478899
>All foreigners clocking up 180 days residence here, or more, during the calendar year 2024 should obtain a tax identification number from the Thai Revenue Department. They should also fill in the requisite tax form and submit it in the first three months of 2025, according to Thomas Carden the Bangkok-based founder and director of American International Tax Advisors. He accepted that the majority of expats would need the help of a tax professional to complete the bureaucracy.
>our advice is to register even if you don’t believe you have anything to pay,” he told 100-plus members of the Pattaya City Expat Club. “If you don’t register, then you risk audit at a later date, maybe years away, and have to prove your immunity. If you delay, the financial penalty screws can become tighter and tighter.”

How many of you actually fell for the DTV visa bait? >travel to Japan
>have fun enjoying temples and shit during the day
>in the evening want to go to a nice bar to enjoy drinks and meet people
>turns out there are three options:
>(1) izakayas where everyone comes in groups and nobody wants to talk to you,
>(2) izakayas full of old men who will chat to you but are weird as fuck,
>(3) foreigner bars full of loud Americans on their first trip abroad making a fucking mess.
Where the fuck do I go to drink and chat with fun people? I have never been to north africa but judging from aerial views on Google Earth, pretty much all cities in US could be mogged by cities in Canada in their city sizes except for New York and Chicago.
Am I correct? Going for 10 days with my bro. Thoughts?
Day 1 arrive in morning - go to atitlan
Day 2 atitlan
day 3 atitlan
day 4 transit to antigua, chill
Day 5 - Acatenango overnight Acatenango
Day 6- Finish hike and descent to antigua, chill
Day 7 - Antigua
Day 8 - go to flores/tikal
Day 9 - tikal
Day 10 - Tikal?
day 11 - go home
Questions:
Is two and a half days too many for tikal? Is the full day in Antigua too much? I feel like this is a good mix of doing a lot but not going crazy. Theoretically I bet I could spend 5 days in atitlan or antigua or spend a day less in either and be fine. Anything you would change?
BTW which town is best to stay at in Titlan? We aren't looking to party. My brother has not been to Latin America much so he'd be most interested in whatever feels the most authentic. I know all the towns will be somewhat touristy but if there's one that stands out.
Are there other ruins in the tikal region we could check out if we feel we don't want two full days there after spending one. Tell me about Alaska. Why shouldn't I live in picrel? 
>Last Thread: >>2720096
>Dead coaster edition
>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?
/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.
>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?
Absolutely! Disney discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.
Thread Tip Pro: Ride every coaster every year, as it may be gone next week.

I want to start solo traveling by next summer. I want to do a couple months in Europe but have somewhat limited money at moment and my job isn't the best. What would you reccomend? I'm heading to japan for a month from dec to jan any tips on what to do for that period of time?
It will just be me and my gf none of us are really weebs but i do like video games alot.
So far we want to go to tokyo, osaka and kyoto I'm an inexperienced traveller who wants to do a solo trip for the first time. I want to do something off the beaten path a bit for an American, but something still more or less easy-mode, so I've settled on visiting Malta. Can someone give me a quick rundown of essential shit to do here over the course of a five day trip? Anything especially. to avoid? What was you worst trip/vacation that you ever taken? Any New Yorkers here? I've lived in America all my life but have never been to New York City. What are the places to visit? Restaurants attractions etc. Leaf / Slav here moving to Poland soon for tech job. What am I in for? It's in Warsaw. I just couldn't stand Canadistan anymore. What are the pros and cons of visiting the Philippines? How foes it compare to other SEAs in terms of culture, nature and sights?
>pros
Everyone speaks English
>cons
Natural disasters
What else? When Trump was winning every state with Elon as his butt buddy last week the writing was on the wall, so I YOLO'd into Dogecoin options with everything I had... I know have enough funds to travel indefinitely for like two or three years? And still have a fat stack at the end. Just quit my job lol. Where should I go? what's Jordan like in the cities? 2024 Edition
Post your favorite travel photos you've taken this year. I know a lot of people went to Japan. Let's see which destinations were actually the most photogenic.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia In your experience, which state is the most hospitable to strangers? I always travel alone and whenever I go to a public space in a new city it seems that everyone just comes either with their friend groups or permanently on their phones. It seems that meeting strangers in anything other than a sex app is a dead practice. I'm in Tokyo for work right now but I'm only 18. Can I get away with buying alcohol from a store, or do I need to keep hunting for a vending machine. I strolled around for a few hours today and didn't find anything. I'm a minor alcoholic but don't want to risk getting deported for something as stupid as lying about my age at a 7-11. Help would be appreciated This is the Greek mega-thread. To start it off here is some helpful advice on useful apps you may want to download if you are in Greece for a while or if you go regularly:
---------------------------------------------------------------
More.com(formerly Viva.gr) Get info on and purchase ferry tickets, concerts, movies, sports events
OASA Telematics - buses in Athens
FREENOW(formerly Beat) - taxis, sort of like the Greek Uber for taxis only
Efood.gr - Greek Grubhub, seamless for ordering third party food delivery(though in certain regions of Greece like many islands they use another app) I live in burger land.
What is the best of those travel credit cards that you have to pay like $500 yearly to have? Do you really earn enough back to make up for that upfront cost? So about 9 years ago I got caught with a cap of mdma at a concert and had to go to court, section 10 non conviction. now I'm looking at going to the US. Do I risk not ticking the drug box on the esta application? always eat only and nothing but canned foods or peeled fruits when you visit sea or south american countries like india Been thinking of moving to this area. What is it like? Is there a place in las Vegas that is open air mall but with a fake sky ceiling at the same time? I saw it in old video game but can't tell where is. So I got a chance to study in gottingen for few months.
Any advice about Germany in general or gottingen?
Never studied abroad before. I am going to Plovdiv soon and since there has not been a Bulgaria thread for a long time, I thought I'd start one.
I would appreciate any recommendations for bars, food, interesting places to go in Plovdiv. Want to go somewhere cheap and relaxing and can get 2 months visa free in thailand vs 1 month paid visa in bali. From the vlogs thailand seems more degenerate and bali seems more spiritual and relaxed. Is that so? Planning to eat, sleep, sunbathe on the beach, meet some nice women and exercise to lose weight on a budget of 1000usd (excluding flight) 
Hi, /mu/tant tourist here, first time using this board. I'll soon be traveling to Sofia, Bulgaria with my gf for 4 days and I'm tired of reading about commie tours recommendations on normie travel sites. Obviously we know about the cathedrals and the popular tourist sites, and are planning to visit them (yes I know my gf has to cover her head to get in lol). So has anyone been or is from Sofia and can recommend any cool places, great restaurants and fun activities?
As for budget, I'd say we are up to spend a max of 35€ (68 lev) per person on a meal for example.
We love music, architecture, art of any form, clubbing, trying weird food and scenic overlooks of places. If you know about record stores, arcades or thematic bars do tell please! But honestly any recs are fine.
As for language, I speak russian so I can read stuff but have 0 idea of bulgarian. If any local can tell me how do people react to being asked if they speak russian it would be fine. Cause for example when I went to Warsaw, most of the times polaks would glare at me just for asking if they spoke it. I understand why tho, so was wondering how is that perceived in Sofia. 
I'm moving overseas next year in February so that I can 'start a new life', it'll be the first time I moving abroad in my life (permanently anyway).
The main reason is because my family thinks it will be best for me overall and I can probably help my family out when I've settled in with money.
Everyone believes life will be better for me in the country due to better infrastructure and better job opportunities (I know how that sounds but my country isn't getting better any time soon).
Some Context:
>24 years old
>Finished college
>Spent most of this year looking for work with very little luck
>Spent some time working online before being 'dismissed', it wasn't that good of a job but it was my first real experience so whatever
>My dad offered to help me move overseas so I can get a career started in a first world country
>I have a hard time taking care of myself and being responsible, so it'll be a big adjustment
>My relationship with my dad is okay mostly, family drama makes things weird but I manage fine
>My germaphobia and weird habits make it hard for me to be normal around people
>Worried that I'll do something stupid and end up getting kicked out by my dad, then end up homeless in another country (paranoid I know but it's hard to shake off)
Any advice for how I can start behaving less like a manchild and learn how to take care of myself?
How can I protect myself so I don't end up worse off than I am in my current country?
If you need any further context I can provide it, sorry for rambling a bit, I haven't been sleeping to well lately. I just arrived in Kuala Lumpur, really not feeling it, am I missing something.
I motorcycled all across Vietnam this year, and really enjoyed the experience and a lot of Vietnam, especially Saigon.
Here in Malaysia so far, I dont feel the energy and its mostly just malls and tall buildings, where as a lot of Vietnam felt alive with smaller shops cool coffee places, overall enjoyed it.
Is this just Kuala Lumpur or all Malaysia or am I missing something? I am not too concerned I have 40-50 days in SEA I can just go to a different country any time, but I want to give Malaysia a fair shake.
How is Malacca, was thinking of stopping by there then going to Singapur taking a flight to Saigon then making my way through Cambodia to Thailand.
If you've been to Malaysia and loved it, what did you enjoy about it, what should I see as a solo traveler. What are some good solo travel destinations to visit in the Canary Islands?
Some bars and nightlife would be nice to have, but I would still like to avoid places that have been overrun by tourists. I speak Spanish (so-so) and can rent a car if necessary. Is it actually worth visiting this country or is it just being shilled on Instagram? Indonesia thread. Indonesians Is it too late to plan a trip to EU for post-thanksgiving? I have never traveled abroad but I am getting burnt out of my healthcare job and considering getting away for a few weeks. I am considering Prague, Salzburg, and somewhere in Italy/slovenia. Is it possible to wing this kind of thing and just stay at Airbnbs/hostels? I just ordered about 5k euros and was considering just getting a train pass and just going. Feel free to say I'm retarded. Do you live in the Caribbean? Wish to visit the Caribbean? Post about the region itt Any tips on my itenirary here? Will be my first solo trip abroad. Tried to mix a variety of locations with not getting burnt out with overtraveling Is this APT drinking game really a thing in Korea or is it just some made up meme being forced just to give the song a background story? I dont get it, what are you even supposed to do in this country? It just seems like a worse soulless japan and it doesn't have that third world edge to it like China.
>b-but my kpop princes girls!
Korean girls don't look like those plastic creatures without surgery and they are too high maintenance and have high requirements, it's not worth it. Literally any han Chinese girl mogs them in personality and natural beauty and they still fall for the JBW strategy. Currently in japan
Last time I was in Japan (that was in tokyo) i had some fat girl with bright pink hair take creepshots of me. Which although not okay and i didnt do anything about cause i dont wanna stand out, is understandable, cause i've got a big cock and i cannot hide the bulge. But this time i had other pictures taken of me and i dont get it. Im waiting at a crossing in kyoto and two like 17-19 year old japanese teen guys run up, one poses next to me with a thumbs up and his friends take a pic. Then they run away. Whats the point of that? Are they making fun off me? Taking pictures to mark me as a target for robbery? (I was wearing a nice, very obviously expensive jacket that most people cannot afford) i dont think im a model or anything and there are plenty of other foreigners here What type of life can you live in Romania on 17945€/ $19,020 a year Can we get a proper Vietnam thread going?
Any anons planning on the making the trip or have been there to share travel advice
North or South it's all just a motorbike hire away I understand the desire to avoid popular locations. Too many tourists. Whether it be finding a quiet place to relax, or seeking the unknown off the beaten path, I get why one would want to avoid people.
But this thread isn't about that. Are there destinations where the main draw is the people? Where being around as many of them as humanly possible is seen as a selling point instead of a detractor?
The only thing I can think of isn't so much a location, but a situation. I actually like being around a lot of people during Christmas, New Year's, and festivals in general. Now I'm left wondering if there are locations that can evoke this feeling year-round without the need for a specific holiday or event. 
>learning Vietnamese for the past year
>speaking has gotten pretty good. solid fluency with good pronunciation, but vocab could still use some work
>listening is good about familiar topics. no problems talking to my teacher or girlfriend, but native speakers are still a little too fast
>say one single word in Vietnamese to anyone in this godforsaken country
>respond at the fucking speed of light + nonsense slang + old man dialect + mumbling
>ask them to speak slower and more clearly
>they speak even more quickly the second time + yelling
I mean I know they're not used to speaking to language learners but aren't some things just common sense? A couple weeks ago a shopkeeper asked if I spoke Vietnamese, to which I replied the equivalent of "a little, but I'm still studying and not very comfortable speaking" and she launched into a five minute old woman rant about...something, I have no fucking clue. Something about how she has to learn English to talk to customers and foreigners should learn their language too. Thank god she didn't ask any questions so I could just nod and grunt. Even my girlfriend (native speaker) couldn't understand half of what she said.
I'm trying really hard not to conclude that Vietnamese people are fucking retarded but this is such a frustrating experience. It's basically impossible to use the language even after a year because of this shit. Any other travelers and language learners go through this? Do you follow any?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G13e9yCazpE Hey /trv/,
Looking to book a quick long-weekend getaway with my wife to sit on a beach in some tropical setting, maybe in Feb., mostly not doing a single damn thing but might be nice to have one cultural/historic type thing to look at one afternoon. Traveling from USA East Coast, so something Caribbean or maybe Central American is probably about as far as we can get in the time we have. Just a vacation, not looking for a Real Traveler Experience (tm) this trip. Would like to try someplace new -- so skipping Jamaica, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Belize or the "Mexican Riviera."
What would you recommend?
>I’m frond of palm trees.
The other 58 are not even that good. Describe, in as much detail as you would like, what you would do with a budget of $20,000 for traveling as long as you'd like. What's the most disgusting thing you've eaten abroad? For me, it was 童子蛋 (virgin boy eggs) in Zhejiang, China. There, it is considered a delicacy to eat eggs that have been hard boiled in boy's urine. Similar to a tea egg but much more salty and smellu. Disgusting, I know, but "when in Rome..." as they say lol can i make friends living in a hostel for 4 weeks? Do western android phones work in China? Not really looking for anything that's too much hassle. Just outlook / skype / microsoft teams / wechat, anything that can send brief messages to my family. Which Muslim country has the most 'Arabian Nights' feel to it? I want Bazaars, magic lamps, fancy carpets, dancing girls, attractive mosques, cool swords etc. I dont really want women in burqas or boring fundie shit. Been here for 2 weeks now and I'm fucking LOVING it. Don't fall for the meme bros. Egypt is great. can I go here in 2024 as an american? what would I be in for What is there to do here?
Besides safari and Zanzibar, looking for other things to do, especially if it means interacting with locals. Music, sports, any suggestions welcome going to montreal december 26-31 and quebec city from december 31st to january 4th
any cool things to see in each city?
won't have a car, is ottawa worth a day trip?
saw a city near quebec city called saint georges, is it worth a day trip
any must sees or skips?
is knowledge of french a must?
thank you in advance You know how sometimes you'll watch an old TV show/film or read an old book and you'll suddenly understand so many references and see where so many newer pieces of media got their influences from? Rome is like that. I'm walking around like, "oh I see where classical art comes from now". All those beautiful classical landscapes of ethereal cities on hills - they're from here. They actually exist, in Rome. I work a travel job and am always in hotels and Airbnbs? How do I profit from this? Get an AMEX card? I don't all that much, maybe like 4 times a year Musem hopping in DC soon. This can't be right can it? 2 hours to walk 6 miles? On a related note how are the police on jaywalking enforcement here? How is the city these days? I'm going to be there for a week or so in November in a nice hotel downtown. Used to visit regularly, but have only been once since the pandemic, in mid-2022, and it was in pretty rough shape. My wife and I booked 3 weeks in Malaga so my 2y old son can get some warm weather and sunny time because of health issues.
We're booked from 28th of November to 18th of December in a suburb of Malaga. Should we cancel even at a loss? How fucked is the south and will we have a good time when spainbros are busy rebuilding their country?

Just ignore the thread then. The rest can subscribe, like, upvote, give me Reddit gold and comment. I want to work in Japan but I don't know how to even break into the industry over there. I have a degree in fine arts and am good at visualizing ideas and concepts but getting into Japan will be tough. I'm learning the language and I'm kind of worried about salary, work culture and xenophobia against westerners if it exists there, I know I'll have to work harder to prove myself but I really want to make this dream a reality. I'll debase myself, I'll clean their toilets I'll do anything to work my way up. I just want in. Has anyone here got any insight? Your only choices are Oslo and Zurich.

when you add everything up, is there any place more aesthetic than these in america? since every city is a shithole these clearly seem to be the least shit. like what city would you want to represent america even though america is dogshit? what are the gems. you must look at it objectively, compared with the rest of the country i believe these 5 mog the rest by far How do you know what cultural norms you're supposed to follow? i've been considering paying amsterdam a visit just so i can spend some time with a hooker.
i fear however that prostitution is an old lady occupation now a days since young girls can just make an onlyfans
so i'm worried i'll waste my money going there and not spend any time with a hooker.
anyone been to amsterdam lately? any tips? are my fears valid? Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

For your quick one-off questions that pertain to travel.
Long or convoluted questions should get their own thread.
Questions about popular destinations should be asked in any active thread about them.

Winter break is going to start soon at my community college. I'm taking online classes also so attendance isn't holding me back since turning in assignments is attendance. I'm 18M, but I know my parents still wouldn't like me getting a flight to Poland or Greece (leaving from San Antonio Airport btw). I do live with them, but pay my own tuition which is like 6k a year. I also have $110 dollars in credit card cashback if that matters (thought about putting it towards a flight to eastern europe).
Not sure on how much to budget, I have 16k total. But I would like to keep most of that since I pay tuition, work part time, and make 13/hr. I was thinking a budget of like 2k for at least a week, hopefully. But I'm open to other options/methods. I really want to try backpacking in eastern europe, probably solo. Since all my friends in town are too broke from spending money on weed, alcohol, videogames, and food. So I'm the only one with money that can travel.
Any advice/thoughts is appreciated. Thanks. Woman in my late 20s. Don’t really have a remote job yet but working on it.
Currently live in Bulgaria and it’s absolutely horrendous here.
Visited Norway and Denmark, figured Norway has more job opportunities.
Only other place I’m considering is Portugal because it’s cheaper than Spain despite not having job opportunities unless you’re in tech.
Want to move somewhere where the air is cleaner. Ideally somewhere where there are also better social safety nets, in case I become disabled or old. In Bulgaria most people past the age of 25 are completely miserable.
Willing to pursue further education as well.
If anyone has suggestions of places I should travel to to check out before making the move to Norway please do post. >learn how to code for two years using Odin Project

It's over. I don't have a degree. I DO have $80k to start a fully remote business that will net me $2k a month so I can live overseas. What type business should I make though? As an American I'm used to hysterically overprotective parents who wouldn't dare let their children step foot outside without an adult, so I was shocked to go to other countries and see kids just walking around town, on the bus, at the store, all by themselves. And I'm not talking about high schoolers, I mean actual children.
I remember one time on the bus in Eastern Europe this girl turned around and started proudly displaying her new lunchbox to me, I couldn't understand a word she was saying so I just smiled and nodded. Another time in Japan a girl came up to me at the arcade, couldntve been older than 8 or 9, and challenged me to a game, I totally got my ass handed to me. I’ll be visiting Panama soon for a frivolous vacation but I don’t know what to wear. How do I larp as a Reagan-era American neocolonist without being too obvious about it? What hats are acceptable?
Also what the fuck should I do in Panama I was looking at St Helena it occured to me how there are still some distant relics of the British Empire and idk why but I have a real heartfelt desire to visit St Helena now.
But since it is so far and so remote I was wondering what are some good locations which have kept intact the old empire that may be worth visiting? Why is this country slept on here? Not even "le wild west" posting but its got one of the easiest visas in SEA, cheap rent (like <$500/mo including utilities for a full serviced 1bd 1br in PP, probably cheaper in SR), and expats are opening businesses all the fucking time it's so easy. You don't even need a degree if you want to go the standard ESL teacher route. What's the catch? Anyone find theme parks... quite odd?
Like they're these almost scared places of joy and adventure. Especially the Disney parks.
But in reality they're like three miles by three miles square (of course the Orlando one is quite spread out), and the minute you break that magic and see all the back lots and service areas. Y'know, there's like a five-lane interstate road within a few meters of some of the rides.
I just find the contrast between the two kind of interesting, and for example how much work Disney put into making places the size of a few football pitches seem like the whole world whilst you're in them. Should I visit Philadelphia or Dallas next May? Would be for 5 days. I'm a euro and have friends in each but have never been Redpill me on visiting it. When it comes to December options (in Europe), is Portugal a good place to travel to? I noticed flying to Lisbon is pretty cheap, and hotels seem rather cheap too. Thinking Lisbon a couple days, then getting a rental and heading to Porto (and various coastal towns) What are the downsides of living in the UK? Near Luxembourg so you can take a day trip to Metz and otherwise you would never visit here right? Which one of these cities is the best for living?

Is there anything good about america or should you just move to europe and asia as soon as you have money? is it time to see an immigration lawyer? What's it like in the jungles of Papua New Guinea? Which places are marketed as le ancient medieval houses that were actually built 100 or less years ago? Norway has a LOT of these Where should I go in dec? I have two weeks. the price range of VR googles has been dropping and you can buy cheap goggles for smartphones.
I know some keywords for this adventure, “Fly””Earth Quest” or Meta Quest”
Can you experience such amazing flying experiences by those cheap goggles by your smartphone? Or do you need to buy a goggle for PC which must be more expensive to experience it?
Maybe you can’t use a VR goggle for smartphones to play those kind of simulation games on PC right?
I am unfamiliar about it so let me ask you it travel guys What's with the legion of zoomers wearing these thinks while travelling? No one uses these things in my country, is it just some kind of zoomer tourist uniform or do people actually use these in their home countries? Going to Paris for a month. Which district would you recommend to rent an Airbnb? I’m going to be flying British airways business class soon. It’s my first time ever in business class. What are somethings I should/shouldn’t do so I don’t stand out as a complete noob to the regulars >streets reek of piss and trash juice
>homeless people on every other block
>prices gouged through the roof
What the fuck should I do for the week I'm here that isn't just tourist traps hello is possible to work and travel abroad while being a civil servant? I'm in usa and while I'm thankful to be employed and have a stable career. I don't make much money at my age 30 (110k) and don't get laid (0). in fact working for the government makes me look terrible in the eyes of women and my neighbors. they see me as a brokie. Civil servants have more prestige in other countries correct? >Be me, about to turn 30 yo. Self employed. Able to work 100% remotely. Currently living in Spain and paying rent.
>Been considering subrenting my apartment for weeks/months and start a semi digital nomad lifestyle.
Which is your advice anons? Which countries are the best? What should I consider before I start my travels? Which are you experiences.
I would like to start in Europe, since the shengen space makes it really easy, but I'm considering south east Asia. The fact that I have to pay my rent scares me a little. What would you do if you travelled to Leipzig, Germany for a week? How dangerous is it to visit the Appalachian Mountain region? I read about disappeared and got a little scared. I was planning to visit with three friends at the beginning of next year Out of all the countries YOU have visited which has the most kino flag in your opinion? Post it and then post 3 good things about your visit to the country, post something bad if you must.

>public transport is easy af

>the capital is weird and there isn’t much to do What are the pros and cons of living in Australia Hey bros,
Me and my gf are flying to Queenstown to hike the Routeburn, but have a few days to spare after we finish. Any ideas for what we should do? 
Who are the worst tourists to encounter abroad, in your opinions?
Koreans have to be up there for me. Cliquey, rude, dirty, inconsiderate, simpy, and with probably the most unwarranted sense of self-importance found on their side of the hemisphere; a lot of them seem to have forgotten that they would be eating grass and tree bark right now if America didn't decide to use their country as a military base. I would almost rather deal with Chinese abroad than Koreans because while they essentially share almost all of the same characteristics, at least chinks are friendly and don't act like their shit smells like flowers.
The crown has to go to Russians, however. I couldn't tell you how many times I've helped out a Russian abroad and didn't so much as even get a thank you for my efforts, and if it happened to be a couple the woman might even favor me with a nasty, resentful look in parting. I don't even bother anymore, if I ear Russian being spoken around me I just leave them to line up for the wrong ferry or spend the night looking for their shitty cheap hotel. Fuck Russians. >travel to China
>get run over
Bugman bros, I don't feel so good... Why does this board hate Digital Nomads, i know that shit has alot of posers, but there legit small amount of people making $100k+ working remote in Asia/MENA/LA I want to visit america preferably in the next few years for the first time, specifically Texas in the Houston area. What should I know and what can I do? Is France worth visiting nowadays or is it all garbage?
Was thinking that Paris might be a cesspool of shit but other cities might be cool.
Also, how much French does one need to know? Has anyone here ever travelled during Christmas just to kind of get away from it for a bit?
I'm skipping Christmas in 2025 and wanted to hear from some of you what you have previously done, or if you just have some recommendations. Is Bogota a good option? What other cheap places would you recommend? how much of the language should you know before going? does it depend on the country? What are the best things to do here? Any recommendations for nana plaza? 
I tried posting on reddit (and /biz/) at one point but they all sperg'd out and never answered my question
My wife and i are considering moving to Japan from the states in the next year for a variety of reasons. We are taking the next year to learn the language (ive already enrolled in uni classes with the goal of passing at least one proficiency test) and to try to work out a location transfer with my current job (multi national company, shouldent be too bad, income from just me is around 70kUSD).
My question is:
What can i reasonably expect for finances? what are some average bills for a family of 4? (we have two infant children)
Could anyone provide a reasonable breakdown of electric/water/mortgage and whatever bills you could expect to pay?
Ive done research on google and put together and excel sheet with averages that ive found so far but if anyone has some real life numbers i would greatly appreciate it. This would help me plan out a lot better.
TIA, feel free to ask for any info that might help
pic unrelated If I'm a US citizen traveling to another country for tourism, can I cancel my return flight during my visit and just book another flight to somewhere else instead before my visitation period is up? Or do I HAVE to leave the country I'm visiting in the way I present to the immigration officials upon arrival, as in, on a flight back to the US? Could I leave by other means besides plane if I arrive by plane? Has anyone done this? Is it even worth it? Flights alone are atleast 1k to Europe for me. At first it seemes like I'm missing out but I'd probably just do the same shit here desu Hey guys, I’ve worked with a lot of Ethiopians and the girls can be pretty hot. I got to talking with one of my younger coworkers and he told me that Ethiopian tutors are $10 dollars on the mid side and $50 dollars for the “expensive” ones. Have any of you guys gone there? I’m getting tempted. Ethopian food is pretty good too In one hour I'll be hosting a Russian tourist in my Airbnb listing. What can I expect? i need a cheap way to travel overseas. is there a way i can get a job at a ship or smth. i dont care about the job i just need to get to the us without spending thousands of dollars i dont have. I want to go to vladivostok with my gf but we are only free in January to February. Can any Russian tell me just how much of a bad idea it is to go this time of the year? I fear it may be too extremely cold. I plan to take the boat from Korea. City of the dead. A graveyard in middle of the city, you can drive car between graves.

Super friendly good-hearted people, who have true reverence for their history, culture & traditions, infinite amount of diverse places to explore and infinite amounts of foods to try - not an exaggeration. You can really try something new every single day. I really want to travel China for a few years in the future, unfortunately I'm a poor and unqualified eastern european stuck in wageslavery and don't know how to begin. I also want to find a traditional Chinese wife who will teach me their language and culture, but I am anxious that a woman would select me solely because I'm tall and white - I have a strong feeling that such woman betrays her people - is there any way to test a woman in this? I want to assimilate with the Han Chinese, Mongolians, Manchurians, etc. I think my Belarusian genes with the asian cheek bone and thick hair genes will result in superior form of man that has been lost since ancient times. Some mythical Chinese Terminator. I want my Chinese wife to give birth to a dozen boys and send them into martial arts training from an early age so that they can train to become great fighters and stuntmen. I don't know guys but I genuinely daydream about Chinese culture and feel strongly that I should have been born there. I believe the universe has played a crazy joke on me by making me not Chinese. I live in a city with a significant Chinese student population and whenever I hear them speak Mandarin I always envy them. Such a cool language. I was rewatching some scenes from Hero on YouTube a few days ago and hearing Jet Li speak Mandarin almost made me punch my computer screen out of my inability to also speak such an ultimate elegant & polite sounding language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZANYMihNZM. I got into Tao Te Ching and it has helped me too. Feel free to disagree. But I'm looking for people who have traveled there and can tell me about some peculiar locations or must visit sites that one hardly hears about. I'm going to be doing a working holiday in Australia. Which city/state should I try to find work in? Also, general Australasia thread? Is it worth to look for people beforehand, or do you just befriend people in hostels once you're there? Previous thread: >>2726730
Discuss Thailand travel in this thread.
Tom khlong is a nutritious and richly savory soup of smoked fish. Do these mythical people even exist ?
Im a manual labourer at age 26 and im feeling an extreme burnout lately. i live a lifestyle that i extremely despise, i hate the urban hell im surrounded by and the people that populate it. is there anything i can learn in 2-3 years , in order to be able to independantly work from a computer , not anchored to a single area of living ? I’ve always wondered what it would be like to live up there in Flagstaff. After all, it’s always been my dream to move to a small city surrounded by a vast forest in the mountains, especially one that’s cool in the summer and gets snow, unlike it’s massive, smoldering, desert bound, hotter-than-Hell wasteland of a sibling: Phoenix.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s very nice to live here in Phoenix, especially when it gets cold in the winter, but I bet nothing beats Flagstaff. And besides, I’ve lived here in Phoenix for 4 years, it’s about time I get a change in scenery. What's the appeal of traveling? 
I want to go to Thailand for one month
Would be 30+ days November up until before Christmas or after Christmas through January
Planning for next year and am currently taking Muay Thai as a fatty.
Taking location out of the equation I would like my routine to be
>Train 5-6 days a week Muay Thai
>do the extra cardio either before or after class which is usually running or jump rope
>Train Yoga 2-3 times a week
>daily massage to help recovery and work through long time muscle imbalances and weakness
>Swim every day I train and I love snorkeling
>explore cool geography in Thailand with bike rental
>would really like to rent a nice dual sport/enduro, a small one
Not interested in exotic food unless its tasty fruit
Not interested in much other than chicken breast and burgers
So please help plan by saying where you would stay, what gym you would go to, where you would party, where would you hike
Im open to spending time at multiple gyms in different areas
Maybe start the trip by the beaches and end up near the big fight stadiums looking for the ultimate place to live on the beach. Im currently in the cold north of europe and looking to go somewhere warm for the winter. Ive previously been to different coastal places in Colombia and Thailand, but considering if there is something similar or better out there. I dont mind simple living conditions as im used to camping in the mountains or sleeping in a hammock.
Preffered
>"cheap" compared to europe
>warm climate
>relative safe
>cliff jumping
>small huts at the beach
>good fruits
>massages
>relaxed atmosphere
>starry nights
not so important
>aircondition
>pools
>clubs
Maybe Phillipines, Vietnam or sri lanka is what im looking for. But i hope anyone here has some experience living a simple beach life in a relaxed cheap place. So far my favourites have been Koh Chang in Thailand and Palomino in Colombia (pitcured). How in the world can you justify this? What is the best, worst, and most exotic drinks you've had travelling, and tell a good drunk story while you're at it. As an American I've been to London and had an amazing time. What other places in England are worth a visit? What's Chile like?
Seems like it'd be a cheaper place to live off neetbux than Australia
Any tips?
Can I find a qt wife despite being a neet?
Can I live there on $2100 AUD ($1400 USD) a month, while being safe any airconditioned?
