Hey voyagers,

The sticky probably needs to be updated, I'll keep the thread open for suggestions:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/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:

ーJR Passー
Since JR has adjusted the prices for the pass, not really worth it anymore, unless you want to travel by train very extensively. You can plug in your itinerary in the links below and compare prices to the JR Pass.

Solo Female Travel
perth_2023_04
I used to travel with my dad and older brother a lot, but my dad is getting old and my brother got married and a promotion so he's pretty busy with his life. What are some of the best places to visit as a solo female traveller without getting bothered? My mom went to Spain once when she was in her 20s and the harassment was so bad my dad could never convince her to go on another trip anywhere.

I wouldn't mind meeting a girl but at this age and stage I am probably past it. I did do too well with woman when I stayed in the UK for 2 months (only picked up one girl) so I am thinking that my results may be similar in Europe?

I am interested in Europe because I've never been there, only the UK. New Zealand is cheap with incredible hikes and drives available & China is essentially the center of the world right now...I've always had a dream of going to Chongqing and it's something I must fulfill.


THESE are the only options I've done everywhere else that I am interested in. 6 times Japan etc, Thailand 2-3 times etc etc etc.

I want to have sex, but I also want cultural stuff I don't just want a Pattaya party I want a mix of everything...Terracotta warriors meets 25 year old hottie in my hotel room...

Moments when you realize that you're in a third world country.

For me it was Puerto Vallarta. We're at a nice resort and someone in our group stepped on a sea urchin and got a bunch of spikes in her foot. We help her in to the shore and ask the hotel for the first aid kit because we need tweezers. They bring back a nasty dusty box, inside the box is a used alcohol pad, an empty bag of skittles, 1 random white pill and some toenail clippers.

The next day, we go up to do a zipline on the top of a mountain. The rain starts coming down like a Hurricane on the way up.
"Surely, the bus will stop" I say after we're pushing through a literal 3 foot deep river of water and mud coming down the road. We slid all over the road. We almost went over the side of the mountain at least 6 times. Those Mexicans wanted our $30 so badly that they would kill everyone on that bus to get it.

The next day my friends wanted to do a boat trip. I told them "I'm not going out on a boat with these Mexicans. If you guys go, make sure to check for life jackets." They came back and said that when they asked to see the life jackets, the captain opened a compartment in the seat to show them, and the only thing in the life jacket compartment was an empty bottle of Sprite. They were going miles out to sea and the crew didn't know what had happened to the life jackets. They only knew because my friends had asked. It could have been years since anyone thought to look.

Was walking today through the Carpathians in Poland, a brown bear walked out 5 metres from us. We locked eyes for 2 seconds or so, and me and my gf turned and walked away...

Never been so scared in my life.

I thougt it was a big dog (presumably with an owner) when I saw the dark hair move through the grasses in front of us.

Funnily, we walked into 7 women on the walk down. Told them we saw a bear, and their group split in 2 as to whether to continue or not. When they decided to fuck off back down, the alpha female gave us a firework. We decided to go back up, holding kebab skewers, a firework, a bottle of vodka, and drum'n'bass on the bluetooth speaker.

Passing through that area was the scariest moment of my life. Me and my gf just loudly chat shit to each other like psychopaths, expecting to die at every moment.
Any other /beast/ stories?

Vagrant Holiday LEGACY
hqdefault
It's not about fanboying Vagrant, but he changed my view of travelling.

I can only enjoy real shit now.
I mostly go to non-touristic places in a country, avoid most tripadvisor spots, dress like shit, get a cheap hotel, go eat where the workers eat, get the police thinking you're a migrant, don't fight the jet lag, roam around all night.

It's also because i travelled with an annoying bitch before, so i've done all the tourist traps and all the photoshoots.
But it's the only enjoyable form of travel in 2025.

>Last Thread: >>2784310 #

>What is this thread? Why are there two companies?
Disney parks were initially founded as a way to celebrate the culture and history of America and provide middle class families with a fun-filled immersive experience. While theme parks are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other roller coasters & rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /rcg/ comes in.
>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?
Absolutely! Disney and Universal are currently competing for the Orlando theme park market and beyond! Universal is opening new resorts all around the US and new continents!

Caribbean boat life
caribbean-sailing-soufriere-pitons-st-lucia-credit-alamy-Robert-Harding-World-Imagery
What's up my bros - was wondering if people with similar experiences or insight could chime in on some of the mad schemes I'm going to try to pull off

I grew up in and live in the Canadian Maritimes. 30 years old. I have a good buddy who makes great money as a pilot who is in the process of buying a good comfortable long range blue water cruiser and the dream is to live aboard and sail south for the fall, winter, and early spring. We have both had enough of Canadian winters and his work will fly him back and forth. I have a pretty crazy good bartending, hospitality, service management resume with a couple of years experience sailing tall ships. What is the feasibility of finding work in the Caribbean or even the Florida Keys? I've been doing a lot of research on how difficult it can be to find legit work in the islands but a lot of Caribbean bros I'm friends with up here seem to think it won't be that hard for a fit young white dude to find something. Any recommendations for places to go - businesses to contact - things to start working on, etc. I've started reaching out to major players like club med and other resorts as that seems like the easiest way to get legit work

How can I become a digital nomad in two years? Willing to grind 10+ hours a day for two or three years to learn a skill. My list:

1) day trading: hard but doable if you grindmaxx? already have decent investing knowledge. seems the most appealing
2) online business: seems way oversaturated. I don't know anything about running a business and the idea of trying to appeal to normies and their "trends" seems like hell
3) marketing/SEO/blogging: seems like a scam but what do I know
4) programming: not enough of a dork or smart enough
5) finish my degree (accounting) and officemaxx until I have enough skill to demand a remote job or make my own company

Im 23 so I have time but I really want to pick one thing and stick with it until it works. But it seems like everything hasa 90%+ failure rate.

Southeast Asia has been absolutely awful ever since COVID ended. I've been traveling to Southeast Asia and even living there on and off again since 2015. Had a girlfriend and even at one point considered going all in on buying a condo in Bangkok and purchasing an Elite Visa for Thailand back in 2019. Have also spent long periods of time in Vietnam and Indonesia. Thailand and Vietnam are what I'm most familiar with. Here's the run down on at least why Thailand is an awful place to live and even visit in the post-COVID era/2025:

Where are the best bang for buck places to buy a house in Tokyo?
Tokyo-GettyImages-1131743616-1000x3000
House, apartment, townhome, whatever. I don't need much more room than a studio or 1br. I'm looking for a place with parking, that's not super expensive, with good access to the city. I plan on living there for 3-6 months a year while working remotely (since I don't have a visa).

Is this viable? What do you think?

Spain
spain
Alright boys my gf and I are going to Spain in a month for 8 nights. I found tickets for $400 each direct to Barcelona from USA (that's why we're going to Spain and not somewhere else). I haven't left the country since I was a kid and basically I'm retarded. Have to at least figure out which days we'll sleep in which city with tentative lodging and I need to have it figured out this week because I just have to ok. Also I've been to southern France and it was nice (ha) and I have no qualms with using Barcelona purely as an airport and spending most of our time in France. Factors in favor of Spain are cheaper food/lodging, my gf is fluent in Spanish, and neither of us have been. Basically it'd be cooler to do Spain unless you guys tell me it's a shithole compared to France.

Big question is should we rent a car. I like driving and would enjoy driving a manual SEAT shitbox but I also like trains and it'd be nice to avoid parking and dealing with the rental. But I also don't want to spend a bunch of money on rideshare. We're also in good enough shape to walk a fuckload and are not bringing checked luggage.

I like
>old historical buildings, ruins, forts, maybe some catacombs??
>trying new and strange foods
>exploring cities on foot/public transport

She will want to
>go to the beach once or twice
>maybe go hiking once or twice

She's super easy to please and will be happy with whatever. I don't drink alcohol (had to stop) or even caffeine so I'm not interested in any kind of nightlife and don't want to be harassed by lunchtime rowdies. She'll probably have a glass of wine with dinner a few times but she's no connoisseur.

/TBG/ - Trv Buddy General

Itt you either say your home city/town/etc and that you're interested in meeting /trv/lers or you give your itinerary and what cities you'd be open to meet people.

It can either be you're looking for a travel buddy for a whole trip. Or maybe you just want to meet up with a local for day. I used to wait for tourists at a big tourist attraction in my city and if they were open to it after talking just show them around for free since I like meeting foreigners.

So for instance maybe you're doing a two week Europe trip and you are looking for somebody to come show you Budapest for an afternoon etc.

So if you're open to it post an itinerary, say what you're looking for, or post your city and that you're open to show somebody around even if it's only for part of one day.

[when arriving in a white country], Koreans and the Japanese can use the same lane as the "white countries passport lane", and they put the Korea and Japan flag on the signs.
but when you arrive in Japan, it doesn't matter if you're Korean or white, whatever. every non-Japanese person has to join a very long, very slow, zig zag line. and you have to fill at least 2 forms that they give you. the first form, basic info. how long are you staying. etc. the 2nd form is later. when you pick up your luggage. you just declare that you have less than 1,000,000 yen, etc. it's pretty quick. basic paper forms. fill it in quickly with a pen. it's no stress.
arriving at tokyo Narita airport, there's a very long, very SLOW, zig zag line. after a fucking 12+ hour flight. economy class. packed plane. with no fucking air conditioning. then you have to get the narita express. that ALSO has NO FUCKING air conditioning. and it takes 1 hour 40 min to arrive to shinjuku. dude. it's so long. and THEN, you can't check into a hotel, until after 3PM.

Is it worth going off the beaten path? (In Japan)
1704595939098944
I'm traveling to Japan for the first time in August and while drafting my itinerary I face a dilemma: do I play it safe with my limited time of two weeks and hit Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, or do I for a portion of my trip go off to lesser known places? More specifically I had the idea of replacing the Osaka segment with a few days in Matsue and Izumo. This would add about 6 hours of transit time to my trip.
Does it really make me more of a "real traveler" if I go see 2nd tier shrines and castles in 2nd tier cities instead of going to the famous ones that everyone else is seeing? Or perhaps being a real traveler means foregoing sightseeing entirely to go wander random neighborhoods and "live like a local?"
But I doubt I can gain any deep cultural understanding of a foreign land without speaking the language or knowing anyone there. At that point I'd just be doing mundane stuff in place, Japan instead of place, USA. There is the more tangible benefit of avoiding crowds, but is it really worth foregoing the popular places? They are popular for a reason after all. And maybe seeing Matsue castle and Izumo shrine will be a bit of a letdown if I also see Himeji castle and the many shrines of Kyoto on the same trip.
Another idea I had that was more tame was to add a Sekigahara day trip to my itinerary while still following the traditional Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka circuit. Have any anons been there who can confirm whether it's worth a visit or not? I think it could be cool but it also could just wind up as a day wandering some random fields with little context.

Sailors used to be such a profession. You gave up a lot of your freedom, but at the same time it was a relatively easy job, you had food and sleep provided and you could see a piece of the world. Nowadays, to become a sailor I would have to do expensive courses and apart from that it is completely different than before.

istockphoto-1494319207-612x612
Almost a decade ago, I had to flee from a country.

>ex was a local of that country
>seemed to be developing schizophrenia or something like it. we were aware of it and she was getting help but it suddenly got 100x worse within a couple of months
>she had a psychotic break and attempted suicide while I was there with her, saved her life
>she was not able to recognize anybody
>called her family
>Police came, actually before her parents. At the scene they did nothing, seemed to see that I was trying to help her although they took a photo of my passport and waited for the family to arrive and left
>family arrived and blamed me and thought I had done something to her (i.e.: drugs)
>family realized later I actually did save her life and forgave me (profusely), when my ex came down she cleared me so no bad blood there
>when I left the country, the police seized my stuff for a drug search but obviously found nothing.
>never charged with anything or fined anything, etc.
>happened almost 7 years ago
>I speak the language of this country

So I know it sounds stupid, but I really liked that country and its the place that I was the happiest in my life. Now that the dust is settled, what could happen if I tried to go back? Just refused entry? Its a sane country with a functioning legal system.

At the moment I have no intention of going back at the moment but its always eaten away at me because I will be travelling again near to that country soon.

If I wanted to go back, would I contact the embassy to see if everything's ok or is it better just to show up and see what happens? Like I said I was never charged with anything so idk.

The biggest blocker for contributions for me, is the total ballache of uploading multiple photos and sharing webms. If I'm on the road, it's just a fucking hassle.
Perhaps it'd be better to encourage posting trip reports to an external place (i.e. some federated open source platform) and then to link back here for commenting.

Also, would be nice to spread some love to more local initiatives, as opposed to the booking.com and airbnb slop which plagues the world. I know in Poland, you can book cool accom via AlohaCamp, for example.

I also wouldn't be averse to meeting people passing through, as well. I miss the old days of couchsurfing, and wonder whether there's any legs on organising shit.

Anybody from a third-world country ever (legally) travel to the US?
US-visa-1366x768-2187306852
Is it really as hard as it seems? My friend in Colombia is trying to visit the US but it seems unreasonably hard to get a tourist visa. Do they really require an in-person interview at the US embassy in Bogota? He doesn't live anywhere near Bogota, how is that reasonable to expect him to travel all the way to Bogota ? Is there any way around that or can he do the interview over the phone? He's just trying to get a tourist visa, not become an immigrant, so why make him pay for a flight and take extra days off work just for a tourist visa?

And how long does it actually take to get a tourist visa approved? How long in advance does he need to plan the trip?
