Board: /trv/
"/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.

>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.

Do you have more chances with the locals or other tourists? Is it possible at daytime? I hate clubbing.
Why make this thread instead of general advice in general? Because there is the premise that women on holiday are more open towards hookups as they will never see the person ever again and they feel less stressed and judged by their peers.
I am 36, good looking face, but chubby Saudi Arabia's long term strategy is to become Dubai on steroids. Do you think it's even possible to bring people from other countries to a place with strict ban on alcohol?
https://www.visaesaudi.org/alcohol-rules-for-tourists-and-visitors-in-saudi-arabia I just got back from an Alps ski trip. Finally checked Switzerland off my list. Zermatt is mediocre for skiing. Not as expensive as I imagined, but also not cheap. Glad I went, though I don't plan to visit again. Austria had the best skiing, infrastructure, and apres ski scene (German house.) Italian Dolomites had the prettiest views, open and kind people, and food ofc. I found Milan to be a bit of a dump.
Baikal next week.

So now im 33 and go no wife, no kids, seen some places and kinda wanna see some more. It might be nice just to buy a house here and chill but the state of the world and being home in the midwest is gay too
Anyone else in a similar boat? Whatever I just wanted to let you guys know I feel like a loser

Has anyone done anything memorable in these countries, share some stories and tell me about your trip, anything food related & outdoors is a plus. New general without larpers and porn addicts. Apart from thai food, everything from cosmetics tontech is regularly priced and even expensive more so than any first world country. You can get an a cheap apartment room run by old people who don't know a lick of english, it will smells like rotting trash, but any decent hotel is $25 a night. Japan and Korea have cheaper or similarly options. I think Vietnam is cheaper but only very slightly.
Is there something I'm missing? Are the nice cheap modern places to rent without ugly glossy floors, mold, stone beds and sewage smell available places that you have to rent for a month? Has Kabukicho been cleaned up? I walked through it the other night

This was on a Wednesday night so maybe it's different at the weekend but it was cleaner, safer and more boring. A good thing I suppose but it's lost a lot of character. Hello anons,
I'm going to be in Poland for a week for work.
Wat do? Why did Amtrak never take off in the US? I just got back from a trip to and from Chicago and holy shit it's impressive just how much more comfy of a trip it is when you actually have a lot of space. Sure it takes longer than a private jet but at least you aren't squished like so me sardine. Even the cheap tickets for Amtrak look like they have a ton of leg room in the shared section. >$2500 just for plane tickets
how do you afford this shit? Is Poland the Thailand of Europe? Any reason to bring a DSLR or anything other than a phone with a camera nowadays? How old is too old to travel?
>inb5 ur never too old, I heckin know a 98 year old who stayed in hostiles and everyone loved them, heckin nobody cares about your age
BS
There’s a pretty hard cutoff for backpacking and enjoying travelling how it’s supposed to be. Nobody wants to be in a hostile with some old man ruining the vibe for everyone else. What’s the age where you start getting side eyes and strange looks when you show up at the hostel or tour group?
23? 25? 30? >beautiful women
>tropical
>affordable
>english speaking
Anybody been Guyana and share their experiences? I'm planning a trip to Spain. Any advice or recommendations? I have two weeks so I was planning to go to Seville, Granada, Madrid, and Barcelona. What are some things I shouldn't miss? What are some things I should avoid? What are the best day trips out of Barcelona? I was thinking montserrat and sitges. Can I do them both in one day or should I separate the two? What are the best restaurants? Hotels or airbnb? Also, Mexico City thread. What would you do and how long would you stay. How to avoid sickness What do you all do for work that allows you the time and money needed to travel? Now that Japan has been throughly enriched with western culture and the women are basically among the most unloyal due to the cheating culture where is the next good place for meeting sane women? China? Me and my wife are planning a trip this weekend to travel to Maine for hopefully a resort and fine lobster. Any suggestions for resort towns that may also include access to good seafood is highly appreciated. Thanks anons Are there any good places to go that haven't turned into tourist slop? It seems like every national park these days is indistinguishable from fucking Disneyland going to cyprus for a week, landing in larnaca
what do? Don't fret this isn't a brokie or TEFL loser thread, I want to know if there are any job opportunities abroad for Americans for in demand industries. I make roughly 70k living with my parents, what countries can offer a similar salary or roughly around that? I have been eyeing Singapore, Dubai, and Australia. Ideally, I want to be able to travel while not digital larping and having to worry about money. My industry is in geomatics/land surveying and civil engineering, if any anons have experience with doing these fields abroad drop em. What continent has the best tasting logs? I'm about to live in the UK for 6 months because of work, where should I i visit that I haven't been yet? Right now I'm looking at
>Romania
>Southern france and Monaco
>Southern Spain
Maye Belgrade and Vilnius too? I am going to travel through japan and asked chatgpt to make an itinerary for me.
I will arrive in tokyo (I've already booked the flight).
This is probably the only time that I will be in japan so I want this trip to be good. I wanted to focus more on landscapes.
The question I have for you if this trip is feasible. I speak not a word of Japanese. I don't intend to use the JR rail pass as it is to expensive.
The core of my question is if I have to book all the train / bus tickets beforehand of if I can just buy them locally. I was wondering if there is any centralized place where I can book busses for Japan. Are there any Japanese people that can help? Also general review of this itinerary if I am visitng the nicest places to visit.
on an unrelated note. I have to take two normal captchas to even unlock the 15 minute timer to get the real captcha. How is bullshit like that possible. making people wait 15 minutes just to post is so retarded. I'll post the chatgpt itinerary in responses. I'm trying to find a real-life location that I once visited (or maybe saw in a dream). It's a coastal area with a mountain road (serpentine) that goes through a tunnel in a rock. After exiting the tunnel, the road curves around another rocky arch. When I stopped in the middle, I looked down over a metal railing and saw a small bay and a town built on different levels along the cliffside. The sea was azure blue, and the time of day seemed to be either early morning or late afternoon. It felt strangely familiar, like home.
I used to live in Mersin, Turkey, and we traveled to the sea in another part of the region, but I can't recall exactly where. Does anyone know a place that fits this description? It could be in Turkey or another country >hostels are a place for people to connect with others
>music blaring so loud you can't even hear yourself think
>you have to yell intimate details about yourself out in public
Why are people always so full of shit. Everything I hear people say, not just online, but in the real world, is always some meme. Like they think they're suppose to believe it is an accurate interpretation of the world. Just be honest faggots. And turn down the music. And if I'm reading a book in silence, don't come sit next to me chatting about nonsense so fucking loud. Which country has the worst tourists? I’ll start: Germany.
First of all, there’s so fucking many of them anywhere you go. They’re rude and everywhere and they think they’re superior to everyone else and they actually believe it genuinely, not like Americans who play it up to be funny. God forbid you get stranded in a hostel with a bunch of Germans. How safe is it to visit here right now as an American? Will the Israelis harass you and be rude? I heard theyre incredibly stuck up. Will the Palis abduct you? I want to visit Jerusalem and the countryside. People who don’t actually travel general
I’ll start
>people who go to Bali, Ibiza, Cancun, etc
You’re not actually travelling you’re just visiting a resort destination to hang out with other tourists
>anyone who says “I’m not a tourist I’m a traveler”
Quite literally the same fucking thing, nobody gives a fuck that you’re “le experiencing the le culture” by staying in dirty hostels and hanging out with other brokepackers in a heavily touristed part of the country, instead of doing what those “ugh… tourists” at the hotel across the street are doing
What constitutes someone who doesn’t actually travel in your eyes? ie the idea you had of that country was totally false.
For me it's Japan. All the photos of Mount Fuji and of most places are doctored, i'll post examples. Hey I was just wondering, what gifts from France and Italy would ravish my japanese friends?
I have a few ideas in mind, but as a dual citizen, I wanna offer the best gifts that would make them think of my countries, that they have trouble finding there... What do they crave from them?
Thanks in advance Discuss everything regarded vietnam here

You don't need a visa If you are from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, GB. I'd like to go to Japan this year, first time. I don't know the language well enough to have conversations beyond simple phrases, greetings, thanks. When I go out to dine alone ideally I'd like to just go to any hole in the wall, but will they even be able to communicate with me or do I need to stick to the more touristy places for people that can speak english if needed? visiting marseille in may for 4 days.

I got a piece of this in Canyonlands recently and I want more of it. The park gets a lot of visitors, but it's also huge and there aren't many people in the Needles district, so it was easy to feel like I had it to myself in some places.

What are my options? I really really want to try it but I don't want to go alone. I tried "solo travel" before and I hated it. Most overrated shithole tourist destinations thread
I’ll start
Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles is a dirty disgusting city nothing but suburban sprawl, homeless camps and democrat policies. It is a disgusting shithole in an otherwise beautiful state.
Here’s a list of places in California that you should visit of LA in no particular order
San Diego, OC, Ventura, Napa Valley, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, Cascadian norcal, anywhere in the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe, Joshua tree, Death Valley, 29 palms, Channel Islands, just to name a few
You are UNIRONICALLY a retarded tourist retard if you fly all the way to California just to visit it’s shittiest, most disgusting city with nothing but a handful of tourist traps and gang violence in it 
I am gonna do a relocation for a campervan from Christchurch to Auckland for which I have 6 Days time.
What are some places I should definitely see? I really want to focus on the southern Island and on the landscape over there. Has anyone done anything similar before and has some general tips?
After that I am going to Hanoi and have like 4 weeks time to spend over there. I have heard from friends and other backpackers that the north of Vietnam is the best place of SEA atm and that Thailand is very overrated.
I really want to see the landscapes over there as well and like cultural stuff like ruins. Unfortunately I dont speak Tree but I'll learn common phrases like thanks and please etc. I also want to visit Angkor Wat a lot so I'll prbably spend lke 4 nights there.
Also how much are massages and how can I find good ones? (I'm not talking about happy endings or any of that shit but my back just hurts a fuckton from work). I also really want to visit remote areas. I know hat there wlll be a big language barrier there but I'm just banking on offline google translate then.
Any general tips on travelling ind SEA wpuld also be appreciated.Im also thinking about going to Indonesia but I'll have to see how much money I have left aftter these trips and then I'll see. I'm arriving in Hanoii at the beginning of march with roughly 5k AUD to my name so well see how things go. I get shit on whenever I post these threads but I'm still needy of info. What countries/cities are optimal for renting picrel cheaply for 3mo? Also it's nice to be able to have a motorbike without needing a license.

Why is that I will be in picrel for a few months starting September and want to spend spare time travelling around Europe. What countries should I visit and what are some things I should do? Historical stuff sounds cool, but I'm mainly looking for niche experiences. Neth stuff is ideal, I'm not against traditional touristy stuff but I don't just want to go to the top of the Eiffel tower if i go to France.
I only speak English, I'm comfy travelling alone, I'm looking to keep things as cheap as possible aside from having my own place to stay (no hostels) but if you have a cool recommendation that's a little more pricey I'm interested. how is myanmar for tourists? I will have a few free days in Medellin (and possibly a couple in Bogota). What do?
I am planning on doing Guatape, but would like other suggestions especially for nature/wildlife.
Are there good places near Medellin (or maybe Bogota) to see monkeys in the wild?
Or birdwatching?
Or other great scenic hikes like Guatape?
Or any other suggestions for things to do?
Preferably places I can just go do on my own but I can pay for a tour if needed too. >enters your hotel room ignoring the dnd sign

>leaves Long story short I have a solid nest after living with my parents after college with minimal expenses. My parents are overbearing but tolerable enough if I wanted to solo travel. However, my friends keep bugging me to move an hour away into NYC. Is it worth it living there? I am a non normie, 5'7, 4-5 PSL looks, etc. I keep hearing everyone rave about muh nyc being easy for women even from these circles but usually these dudes are above average height, neurotypical, some artsy type, charasmatic, part of some network, etc. I dont see how I couldn't recreate something similar in some Euro city for slightly cheaper. Anyway aside from the zoomer rambling, is it worth it to move to NYC or just travel around and continue to live with my parents, or alternatively find some gig overseas? I hear the argument of muh roots and connections but idk, I would like to hear anons experiences living here. I'm planning my European trip for early summer (Prague, Vienna, Budapest, maybe Northern Italy), what are the best dates to avoids Bongs?
What i understand is already to avoid:
-"Early may bank holiday" may 5
-"Spring Bank Holiday" may 26
Is mid-june safe to avoid them? Share tips on traveling
Packing specifically
Do these toolless vacuum bags actually work? Why do you guys like to travel to shitholes? I get that it's cheaper but its not worth
>trash everywhere
>crime
>obnoxious foreign languages
>overcrowding
>foreign culture
>no legit bathrooms with toilets and toilet paper I realized that flights to Seattle/PNW are relatively cheap and fast. Now I'm really interested in going there for about 10 days in summer as my first solo vacation. I would like to stay in the city for a few days, preferably in a cheap hostel. Any tips regarding transport, nightlife, sightseeing in the actual city? For the second half of my time I would rent a car and drive into the Olympic park, as well as Mount Rainier. Can I just sleep in my car at a campground for a reasonable price? Is it reasonable to leave out Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie and North Cascades and focus on the aforementioned parks for 5-6 days? Which beach sides should I visit? anything else I need to pay attention to, especially if I want to stay budget-friendly? You couldn't name a worse state in America. I'm traveling to Philadelphia for the Eagles Superbowl parade on Friday. Anyone else? Any tips? how would you rate the food here besides Thailand and Vietnam? 
Why are people so obsessed with "how many countries have you visited" when the truth is that every province or prefecture of countries like England, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Spain and France have more things to see, more traditions and culture than any country in Latin America (save for Mexico and Brazil), any country in the Slavosphere besides Russia or any African country besides Egypt/Morocco?
Seriously, take some random irrelevant industrial prefecture like Toyama, Japan, population 1 million. It has a 400-year old Buddhist temple featuring masterpieces of feudal era artists such as Sesshu and Kano Tanyu, the UNESCO-rated village of Gokayama featuring real lived-in centuries-old wooden houses, a sake brewery that has been operated by the same family since 1626 and stunning mountains, featuring the only glaciers in East Asia outside of Russia and countless beautiful onsens to bathe in.
Meanwhile Uruguay, population 3.4 million and a world-renown tourist destination, has 3 DEI UNESCO sites (a delapitated poorly built ugly town from the 1700s, a church from 1958 and a meatpacking plant), their most famous natural site is a ten metre waterfall from the valley of Lunarejo, the icon of the city, Palacio Salvo, was designed by an Italian with zero connection to the land and is a direct copy of Palacio Barolo from Buenos Aires, and its national dish is plain old beef. >spend 16 hours a day inside on my computer

does this happen to you? Have you ever tried to live in SE Asia (specifically Thailand, Laos, Cambodia Vietnam) on a very low budget? I’m talking living in fan rooms and having a monthly budget of under $500. Basically, just a fuck it and go kind of escape from the west. Anyone currently huffing it hardcore in SE ASIA? What’s your budget like and what do you do all day? I'm considering a trip to Beirut in June.
Great idea? Terrible idea?
Any recommendations appreciated. My current list
1) Colombia
2) Georgia
3) Cambodia
4) Turkey
5) Peru
Thoughts? Ive considered doing a study Abroad Program, but for summer vacations or breaks is there any advice besides the obvious "save money". Just curious. Thank you! What was china, Korea and Japan like in the early 2000s? Really wish that I could've visited China during that time when they were still building a tonne of stuff and foreigners were a rarity there seems like a very interesting time to be there How often do you travel somewhere tropical? What are the best destinations to go to? I always liked the vibes of college towns. The towns that are in rural areas that are mostly dominated by the colleges in them. I think I might move to one of them.
What do you guys think are the best college towns in America? Why do third worlders and Europeans get so triggered by the US travel advisory? Are they just butthurt that their countries are shitholes full of crime and terrorism and it hurts their feelings?
>b-but there’s like, crime, in America, Dude!
>bro I felt safer in [cartel controlled spic favela] than I ever felt in [American state with higher gdp than my entire country]
What makes them so angry about this? Is it the inferiority complex? 
I will be travelling to around the Kerrville area for work in a few weeks. I'm English and am very much looking forward to being able to experience some more of the south (Only been around Florida). Can anyone recommend some things for me to do? I have a weekend totally free, so would be willing to drive somewhere like Corpus Christi (just as a metric for distance) if you think there is something good that I should check out. Otherwise, my free time is mostly evenings, sadly.
I am unashamedly open to so called "tourist traps" if they aren't total shit. If anything I'd probably eat up that cowboy shit. I am fairly well travelled in terms of cities; I would be surprised if anything in Austin or San Antonio would offer something interesting to me if you're talking things like museums, galleries or generic shows/music etc. I've been to 'Merica >20 times so would appreciate more Texas/Southern unique experiences and would appreciate things on the lighter side of cost but I'm not too tight (say ~$200 for a very good experience). I'm planning to ramp up my travels this year as my purchasing parity and PTO conditions have drastically increased and just wanted to have a chat with you fellers
if you are to cross continents, fly for 5-8 hours and head into 5-6 hour difference, what is the least amount of days you'd go for? I actually never flew across continents for less than two weeks now that I think about it.
I think it should be OK for a week as well, for two cities I'm planning a little one week trip to Scotland this year, where should I go? Obviously Edinburgh, obviously Isle of Skye, is Inverness worth it or is it skippable? I'm renting a car but I don't want to waste too much time. Also, do you know a good place for horseback riding?
I know it's not the most exotic place so I assume a lot of you have been there, how was it? I'm from Germany so cold doesn't bother me too much. Im wondering how crowds will be and wondering if anyone can reccomend some smaller towns near Rome to visit and stay in a for a couple days
Yes thats me in the pic Want to spend some months in a nice beachy tropical place to recharge. Which one's better if you got 10k to spare for 6 months and relatively amateurish at traveling? Bali looks more centralised and has everything but thailand has easier long visa options but more commercialised and degenerate. And where are the proper digital nomads? Not the pretenders. let's say I wanted to fly to europe and then buy a scooter to get around, how difficult is that? What if I bought a car? If I have a US license do I get to just do whatever I want cuz that would be nice You can rent a 12 bedroom mansion in Vietnam for the monthly price of a 2* hotel.
>NOOOO YOU'RE POOR, I STAY IN 5 STAR HOTEL ALL TIME
Fuck you assholes. There are cheap rentals everywhere What are some supplements one must take when traveling overseas? You know I’m from Singapore, and I travel a lot—sometimes to the UK to watch the Premier League. I’ve been to 21 countries since 2010. I only take zinc and D3, and sometimes magnesium. I wish I could take five, but you know, some airports have different regulations. What about y
Did i miss something Why are hotels in the US all so soulless and overpriced? I just got back from Mexico and every hotel there was bright, pleasant looking and cozy. And I was not exclusively staying in touristy areas either.
I'm looking for a place to stay near Phoenix rn that isn't just a best western or $300 a night and I'm coming up short What's the "situation" like here? Stopping for a month between Phillipines and Thailand. Anyone stay here long term? What areas aren't complete shitholes? How do the people compare to other Asians/Indians? You WILL be paying me on my next long-haul flight, Willem van de Lindhoven What countries haven't started acting like black people since the start of Covid? Thailand is the best example as locals acting like that tend to get deterred by other locals. However, Vietnam, once one of my favorite countries has degenerated to a place that almost feels like Latin America. is Naples worth visiting for the food alone? There is no place on Earth worse with scams than this place. Not even India If I'm not a fan of traveling what are some good places to visit that would change my mind about this? I've never been out of the US so I don't know if that makes a big difference. The only places I've been have been Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Nevada (Las Vegas). What are some must see places? cheaper? safety? somewhat East Asian culture without being too stuck-up? Okay so I'm in Thailand rn, really enjoying it, I was thinking of booking a trip to Vietnam next year because it seems even cheaper than Thailand but I was talking to someone here who said Vietnam and the Philippines are hectic and don't have the same chill vibe as Thailand and don't have beaches that are as nice. Is this true? Vietnam beach cities look nice as fuck on the internet Where the best warm weather place to live for white people? Canary Islands? Azores? >have a boring work from home job
>have to use holidays or else lose them
>looking at places I could go on holiday
>haven't had a holiday abroad for years
>look at video of someone walking in Paris after I consider going there
>the futility of travelling hits me
Paying hundreds of pounds to be a loser somewhere else feels humiliating and I can't bring myself to do it. Starting in Madrid and ending in Budapest, then heading back west and ending in Paris
If you were to stop at 3 or 4 cities each way, for a couple days which would you choose?
There are also smaller cities, not listed on this map. Are those better than the big cities?
Which places are the worst? I want to see Marseilles for the history but hear it is horrible, is that accurate?
Do you prefer the high speed or regular trains?
Anything else one should know? I think I'm just now good enough to play golf and keep the ball on the course. What are the must visit golf courses? Is there anywhere worth visiting in Africa? I'm getting a free plane ticket to paris,france with free hotel for a week as well for the end of august. What should I do when I get there? I already speak french but I've never visited. Any good restaurant I should try? Budget 2000 euro. Anything I should be careful about too? I will travel to Kazakhstan (Almaty region) for 2 weeks end of june/start of july. My plan is to solo hike in the mountains for at least 1 week and then rent a 4x4 and drive to the desert/steppe to camp, explore Almaty, do some daytrips etc.
Questions I have:
-How is the hiking infrastructure? Are there trails or do I need to find my own way?
-Can you just freely pitch your tent anywhere or are there restrictions?
-Is it risky to hike solo there? I have experience solo hiking multiple days in remote places but only in Europe (Scandinavia, Alps, Baltics)
-Any suggestions for daytrips, desert adventures or hiking routes?
Will probably do my hiking trip in Turgen valley according to the research I've done. I want to go here,but im not sure what country and where is the place,it looks awesome.Can someone help me locate this place and country. I take great pleasure, from giving tourist interested in experiencing new and different cultures, that are being annoying to me with noise or whatever, and they try and pass by me with a fake smile saying sorry, and I just snarl, ruining their pathetic days, because they thought they'd drain my life force by getting me to bow, smile, and say no problem, but their soul is mine. what region of Norway should you visit? Sightseeing makes me very tired. >on dating apps looking for gf
>find women who put in "Love to travel" "Love traveling", and so forth
> okay easy picks right?
>invite the ones i match out on trips with me
>out of 5 i matched, 1 ignored me
>3 made up excuses to not want to take a trip and instead stay local
>only one is up for it
>we agree on going to Norway for a few days
>first day arrive in Oslo from plane
>we go out to eat some lunch
>she wants to go back to the hotel to drop stuff off
>then she comes up with excuses to not want to go anywhere until dinner
>second day she once again doesn't actually want to go to any local sites
>even tells me maybe we should have just stayed in our home country and did something locally
The fuck man, why put travel in your bio when you clearly don't like traveling and exploring new places? She basically just wanted to get wined and dined for 3 nights and then sat in the hotel watching movies and social media Best Nyotaimori place in Tokyo? Else somewhere else?
What was it like? Going here soon
Red pill me our soon to be 51st state
Good restaurants? Bars? going on a cheap budget 
Okay so I've moved to Spain for the next three months, I made good with crypto during the last cycle and wanted to escape neetdom in my own country to neetdom in another.
I've been to Spain several times, my ex is Spanish, I did workaways here during the pandemic and walked a Camino a couple of years ago so I know the country quite well however, each of those times I had a reason to be here. I'm in a region where I haven't spent much time previously, know nobody and have nothing to do other than walk around the city, read and workout. I'm a bit of a sperg but not a complete lost cause, I also speak Spanish fairly fluently although Andalus speak in this bizarre dialect that even I have trouble comprehending.
All of this established, what do you recommend I do /trv/? I've been here for a little over a week and am starting to realise I need to socialise, but being medio autista, chatting up strangers is not my forte.
Any tips /trv/?
Might add, I used dating apps when solo travelling in other places because I'm not unfuckable but I quit them for good a few years back. I'm visiting København right now. I woke up at 4 this morning to get a good leg workout in before the cinnamon roll shop opened up, and I hurt my back a bit, not too bad, I'm just getting old. I was wondering, it's nine in the morning now, if I started drinking ales now out of a horn and eat a village's worth of marinerede sild, would I be one of those people that the histrionic overtourism faggots cry about. I'm going to visit China (from Russia) for the first time with my mom this August, the budget is around 2k euro for 2 weeks. What are some comfy resort towns for just relaxing, sort of like for what people usually go to SEA but in China? Picrel is the list I got on /int/ some time ago. >It’s minus 8 degrees another freezing day today
Do you have this kind of cold image for South Korea?! Their latitude is lower than that of Europe but they are much colder?! Just two more years of wageslavery until I can afford to return to Asia I'm in hell for the next 8 hours. Been to:
>Iceland
>Japan
>Peru
>Jamaica
>Panama
>Egypt
>England
>Entire western part of the States
Havent been impressed by anything. Recommend me something good, please. Preferably no tourists, beautiful nature, and amazing architecture Sierra Nevada
I have 5 days to drive and hike around this area. I'm thinking of the usual suspects: Yosemite, Sequoia.
What's the weather like on the last week of March? It seems to be mellowing out, snow is still on the menu so I'll prepare chains just in case.
I plan to stay up in the mountains and it seems like as long as I get the right permits sleeping in my car in the parking lots is ok.
Anything good/bad to watch out for? Bears I guess? What is the alternative?
Taiwan? Korea? Viet Nam? I'm going to move to Europe. My plan right now is to buy property in Portugal, get a work visa, and keep my head low until I can acquire EU citizenship. What else should I know or do? What countries will be the most unwelcoming and hostile towards American travelers in the Trump 2.0 era?
What countries should I stay out of at this time?
I did most of my international travel during the Obama era when the US was more respected around the world and wish I could go back to that time Philippines travel general Are there any good military museums on the east coast of the U.S. outside of D.C.? I'm specifically looking for WW2, especially armor. Living in PA at the moment. We have a lot of local Civil War and Colonial period museums but there's not much for WW1/WW2 that I've seen. I have been to the Smithsonian museums. This is part of traveling I hate. Dealing with baggage. It has been a while since I've done it.
In your experience what can you get away with as your “personal item.” Could you take a school backpack with your laptop in it and some other stuff?
How uptight are they about enforcing size limits on your bags? Do you ever get busted?
What about checked bags? Does this go well? Tomorrow is the Super Bowl so I'm going to Philly and I've been there a couple of times but never been to the heart of the city, though I always make sure to go to Geno's and Pat's whenever I'm in town. So far all I'm going to do is go to the museum of art and visit the Liberty place. What else should I do? I THINK SINGAPORE IS PLONKED What activities, places, events or things should a person consider when visiting Amsterdam? How's life in the Midwest? I'm tired of the hot stupid south and thinking of going up to Michigan/Ohio/Illinois/Wisconsin. Princess Cays in the Bahamas had a nice beach, the secluded part when you go off the hidden path, over a bridge near the little dock. Clear, blue, beautiful water. Barely anybody there, driftwood, great sand, a bit rocky but gorgeous. Cruise ships in the distance. Lovely
I liked the Finikoudes beach in Larnaca, Cyprus too. Nice promenade, smells lovely (of great greek food), quite nice even though popular. Clean sand, nice layout. Very nice.
I really want to see one of those bioluminescent ones in Japan. It's calling to me. What's Romania like? Do I really need a VPN if I am traveling and have a remote job and I just bring my work laptop everywhere with me? Or will the eternal boomer find out and fire me? >learn local language of country X to a basic intermediate level
>go to country X
>suddenly all the bitches there want to fuck me
why did nobody tell me about this single hack >boring old stone brick architecture
>ugly gray skies and cold weather
>stuck up people
>overpriced food
>overly crowded
>no sense of adventure
What is the appeal of Europe? I havent been to southern Europe but this shit is so lame. Asia, Africa, and South America is so much better 
Holy shit Im in NYC for the winter and never thought it could be so bad.
Museums were cool, but the city is a shithole. Women are ugly as fuck in the most part, garbage everywhere, opioid addicts tweaking in the subway. The dating scene is hypergamic and horrible (in argentina I pull pretty white women anytime I want, here it’s all just gooks, jeets or obese mexicans if anything). It’s absolutely cold too and soulless.
Only redeeming things are the subway system but even that is depressing. And the city layout of course, it’s very easy to go anywhere, especially if you got the unlimited metro card. And also the kino doomer walks at night (if you ignore the temperature).
Nightlife is mid, and I know the good venues (the basement, Brooklyn mirage, some bars, etc.). Nothing special. Hotels are also shit for their price and too WEFlike (pods, etc.).
Also 50% of people are Latinos, 25% blacks, 15% Asians, 5% Jews and only like 5% whites. How did it go from a 95% white majority city to that.. it’s crazy.
Maybe I’m missing something or don’t know the right places. Woody Allen played me bad. So I'm planning a 2 month beach Vacation in Vietnam next winter, I booked 1 month in Nha Trang so far, I've seen videos of Nha Trang and it looks like a solid, well rounded place with both beach and city, as well as lots of cool surrounding nature, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other must stay places in Southern Vietnam, preferably a more rural amd isolated place to go after Nha Trang, something sort of like pic related. Is there a place in black Africa where you can just go, like you do to most European or East Asian countries? Where you can just go outside of hotel, without constant full-alert mode to avoid being scammed and/or robbed, or where you can just go on beach without being bothered by local niggers?
I've heard people in Rwanda and Cabo Verde are more relaxed and less obtrusive than typical Africans. Is this true? Are there other African places/countries like that? I've multiple times witnessed Japanese patrol officers ignore crimes in progress and know of two foreign women, one Japanese woman and have heard of a couple of women who have been sexually assaulted or stalked, attempted to report it and had zero follow up by the police.
I also was dry humped on a crowded train by a fat Japanese woman once but I liked it cos I love fat bitches, so I won't complain.
You guys really believe the low crime rates?
There's no gang crime and bugs kill themselves before they resort to the more alpha solution of mugging pansies, that's all.
The high trust society shit is bollocks. Everyone gets raped or molested her. Not even kids are safe.
