"/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.

I'm tired of the hot stupid south and thinking of going up to Michigan/Ohio/Illinois/Wisconsin. The air looks so polluted. I'd love to live abroad, but air quality is a big issue for me. What is the alternative?
Taiwan? Korea? Viet Nam? non reddit travel advice for nyc?

i don't want to go to times square with all the spics. im sure there's plenty of stuff to do.
i dont mind niggers as long as they're the artsy jazz or rap types and not the fent subway addicts Why haven't you done yours yet Anon. What's the best ski resort for you? I had a blast at Val d'Isère. staying at my first hostel. what should i expect? Do any of you carry a proper camera for backpacking trips? Is it worth it?
A DSLR is out of the question due to size and weight, so I'm considering getting a smaller point-and-shoot. However, with today's smartphones, I'm not sure if the difference isn't marginal and not worth the extra weight and stress. Never left Europe in my life
Mainly because I want to experience the jungle and nature but also because of the experience with people
Is Pic related really true? Are so many backpackers young women? White women?
Would certainly be a bonus. I'm not below 25 anymore.

>Capitol, White House, etc. government stuff
>Eastern Market
>Spy Museum
>Catacombs at Franciscan monastery

Any more kino stuff? Not a huge fan of what I found so far. Find something engaging where we could have fun. Greetings /trv/,
I'm going to Czech Republic next March. As I already know Prague my main focus would be in other cities. My planned route:
>Prague/ Kutna Hora 2 days (one for arrival and other for a day-trip to Kutna Hora)
>Pilsen/ Karlovy Vary 3 days (weekend), being one a day-trip to Karlovy
>Czesky Krumlov/ Czeske Budekovice 3 days, being one a day-trip to Budekovice
>Prague/ Hradec Kralove/ Pradubice 4 days.
It would be the St. Patrick's weekend, so I suppose there will be some event there, right?
>Ostrava 2 days
>Olomouc 2 days
>Brno 3 days (weekend)
Is Bohemian Paradise good at that time of the year? I may scrap Ostrava for it. I also accept other suggestions. I've never been to California.
This is my assessment from watching youtube walkthroughs of the cities
>boring sanitized soulless shit
>absolute pure evil
Is there anything besides this? Should I even bother visiting? I dreamed of moving there as a kid. I am travelling to Australia this year for 3 weeks for the first time, and plan to see Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. I have family in Brisbane I'll be staying with while I'm there.

Where should I go while I'm visiting? Where should I hang out to meet interesting girls in Australia? Is it possible for a borderline schizoid autist (aka social retard) to teach English in DEA. In your experience, how do motorbikes and tuktuks treat pedestrians in SEA? I've never normally noticed any major issues except here in Siem Reap. They act like monkeys and try to hit you. They'll zigzag around in the road if you're crossing to scare you. They'll yell out if you impede them at all. I've never noticed this in Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia. I would not recommend Cambodia on this basic. Anti social people Anyone here interested in teaching at international schools? I don’t mean get a TEFL certificate online and moving to Thailand, but I mean teaching at schools that are for children of diplomats and business people in foreign countries.
All I know is you need a teaching certificate from your home country (I’m working on it) and three years of experience usually (school I’m subbing at says they’ll hire me either as a permanent building sub or assistant teacher).
Only thing I’m confused about is the International Baccalaureate. Can’t find much about how to teach it or if there’s a certificate you have to get for it. I’ve seen people even say that schools try to hire people with IB experience but the only way to get that is at IB schools, so it’s a catch-22. Anyone here have answers? Discuss Laos travel here. 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.
Previous thread: >>2705061 Travel YouTubers go to as many places as possible and there is no places left for most of us to discovery. Can you still find novelty and excitement in traveling? Should I move here? I'm in a unique situation where I can choose where I want to live without fear of job or housing. I have disposable income and don't need to be attached to an office. I heard Seattle became a shithole in the past 20-30 years and governor Inslee is destroying the state. I see crime go completely ignored. But plenty of people live and work here and it seems worthwhile. Should I live here? What are the pros, cons, FAQs, and misconceptions? Can you see Mount Rainier from the city or do you need to be in Tacoma or further east?

I'm having fun and you can't stop me Those who have emigrated out of their home countries: How do you rationalize/cope with being separated from your family?
I'm a 24 year-old American, and I want to live somewhere else (at least for a while if not permanently), but my parents are both quite old, and obviously I couldn't drag my brother along with me.
I have a lot of family that I love very much right where I am now, and I don't know if I could bear leaving behind without just being horribly homesick and anxious. But, I also really, really desire long-term traveling ever since I got a taste for it in high school, and I also feel that eventually I would rather raise my own family somewhere that isn't the USA.
I can't do anything about it now, but I've just been thinking about it a lot and I'm having trouble resolving this cognitive dissonance Kind of dejected with the West and have lived a pretty crazy life and my dopamine receptors are fried looking for an adventure/Sabbatical/run away whatever you want to call it.
Looking for new frontiers the wild west and new experiences could be spiritual, charity work, job, or just exploring. Not looking for any digital nomad shit. I'm fairly well travelled and often in non-tourist area's so safety/comfort isn't the biggest deal for me. I also have a decent amount of money saved up.
>In be for running away wont solve your problems
yeah I know I don't care I just want some adventure.
If you where to go on a Sabbatical/adventure/running away where would you go open to all suggestions Why do you guys travel to shithole countries? I understand that its cheaper but I find these countries gross and depressing what breeds/mixes of SEA street dog shouldn't I charge at like a retard? I have no idea if I'm actually going to be in the mood for my plans when they finally come around or if I'm just going to have spent thousands of dollars to be depressed in a beautiful place. It makes me want to cancel the plans. Do you follow any?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G13e9yCazpE why does France get so many more tourists than everyone else? Any Australian’s fled? If I can’t afford a house, I don’t see the point in being here. But on the other hand, our healthcare is decent and on a global level, I can make decent money here (despite being a rent cuck).
Perhaps the grass is always greener, but I’d like some alternatives. headed to vegas for two nights early december

>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.

>https://www.mousesteps.com 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. Anybody here have experience skiing/snowboarding in India/other Himalayan countries? Where I am (Canada) most people go to Europe or Japan for a crazy ski vacation that's outside the norm. But recently I've heard more about skiing in India, and was wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with it, how expensive it was, and would they recommend it over other ski locations.
I understand that the infrastructure there might not be the best for groomed runs, park, and apres but I really don't care about any of that desu. The only thing I would be really concerned about infrastructure wise would be ski patrol availability and avalanche testing on the mountain as well as accomodations. I've heard that a lot of the resorts recommend that skiers are experienced with the backcountry and have avalanche gear+training What to do in New Mexico? How crazy would it be to visit India as a solo almost 30 y/o western man without too much travel experience?
I'm from the US northeast, I've been around the US and Europe on my own but nothing too crazy / never in really remote places where people don't speak English or I can't use my phone to get out of a bad spot quickly. I want to have a real adventure before family and responsibility makes it impossible to leave again until I'm old and decrepit.
Prospective itinerary:
>Oct 9-10: arrive in Delhi, sightsee
>Oct 11-12: fly to Varanesi, sightsee
>Oct 13-16: fly to Dehradun, explore Uttarakhand
>Oct 17-20: fly to Srinagar, explore Kashmir
>Oct 21-24: fly to Leh, explore Ladakh
>Oct 25: go home
Unfortunately my job won't let me take more than two consecutive weeks off. Would this be too overwhelming for a first time in India / Asia or is that all reddit nonsense and an able person would be able to figure it out. Anything to add or slash? Would the weather in the mountains be okay (reading mixed things about whether the Himalayas are really nice in autumn or crazy snowfall early) To the anon that made previous thread, I'm still around to talk Shanghai vs Taipei in a janny-approved fashion if you need.
Alternatively, /china general/ Anyone had to deal with flights anxiety before? Idk why but the last flight I took in almost felt like I had to get off the plane during taxi. My heart was going crazy fast and my fingers tingling.. this came and went throughout the flight and now I fear going again. Has anyone taken pills to help this? Central asia thread, including

Rate my planned itinerary, please. I'm considering adding the Pamir highway through Gorno Badakhshan but I'm deathly afraid of altitude sickess (lived in lowlands my whole life and never been higher than 2000kms) I am in my early 20s, live in western europe and have never left my native country before. I would prefer somewhere with a moderate climate and a low cost of living to maximise my cash. I have an interest in history.
My reason for wanting to travel is that I have wasted my youth so far by studying, working jobs I hate and playing video games. I would like to see more of the world and be less depressed in life, even if only for a few months.
Please recommend me destinations or routes for extended periods of travelling which would be doable for a beginner. I'm going on a trip soon to Australia and I have to buy some new clothes for summer there. Some t-shirts, some shorts, maybe a nice shirt and pants for going out to dinner in, some new shoes. But I don't even know where to start, and time is running out fast. The thought of going there and looking bad is making me so depressed. I've never looked good, never had a good outfit, but all I know is, I want to look like someone well travelled, laid back, care free. It's hard to do that with new clothes, but I don't want to buy thrifted shit. What should I do /trv/, and have you ever felt this way during or before travel? inb4 I'm a retard yes I know be helpful or move on. Is Russia a viable destination for tourism? travel tips for working anons
not budget tips, but some tips to make the most out of your paid time offs
this is with european laws in mind so your mileage may vary
>ask chat gpt ideal ranges to take leave dor the calendar year of 2025, and exclude December 2025, to see which dates provide the best bang for your buck. for example, in my cunt, taking leave from, say, april 15 to may 11 is the best period as you save 4 days on national holidays
>try to fly back on a monday, and take until last friday. take a sick day that monday, you've been sick for 1-3 days since you arrived, who could have known?
now here is a spicy one
>inform your team and manager of your trip as early as you can, ask for their approval etc, but dont lodge it in the system. just keep bringing it up once every week when there's a month left, and when its time, set your mail to OoO, Teams etc to Away and wish everyone well
there is a 90% chance this will work and noone will ask any questions if you dont max out your vacations everyday and/or have been working there for some time. you just had some days lying around, if you decide to keep taking 2 week holidays once every 6 months or so. moderation is key ofc
any other white collar tips anons? Why do people have this obsession with travelling?
I have visited more than 30 countries before i was 18 and never thought it was fulfilling or great or anything. What is the modern day equivalent of paris in the 20s, NYC in the 80s? Where is a creative renaissance happening, and where will we see influential artists emerge out of? I’m thinking of moving to Belarus.
How long does it take to get an expedited visa in either Lithuania or Poland at the embassy? And is it possible to get work there as a foreigner, or work and get paid under the table? I’m a westerner. My teeth are fucked. They need serious work, or I'm fairly certain they're going to keep crumbling away as the years pass, as
they have been progressively, despite my oral hygiene. I don't know how dentists sleep at night with what they charge, and
how teeth aren't covered by Canada's wonderful socialized medical system is retarded given the ridiculous tax we pay into it.
Anyway, I'm flirting with the idea of heading to India to get total work done. Good idea/bad idea? Am I going to save a fortune with quality and lasting work done, or get really screwed? Is the Isle of man worth visiting? A hold your hand tefl course with job placement assistance runs about $1500. Anybody here ever done one? I really really don't want to go back to the states. I don't have a degree. I'm flying to malaysia this weekend for 3 weeks.
I'm joining my gf in KL and penang, and I'm still thinking about where else to go (open to suggestions if you guys have some)
She has weed cookies and joints, how risky is it for me to use some ?
I don't want to be Tom Félix 2.0
Worst case I was thinking I'll eat just the cookies so that no neighbors will snitch on the smell or something. I want to move to Japan after college. I am sick of living in the US and don't fit in. I haven't been able to make any close friends for my whole life and no relationships ever. I'm Asian and know mandarin fluently, currently learning Japanese. I also have an aunt that lives in Nagoya. I was thinking of moving to Gifu prefecture and starting over life. Would it be possible? What should I do to achieve this? Travelling when you’re ugly
Can you have a fun travel experience if you’re ugly? I don’t want to go to a hostel just to be ignored and have to go do a bunch of generic tourist stuff alone, rather than being involved in the real reason for travelling such as partying, hooking up, etc
How does one go about this? I want to move to Los Angeles (I'm Irish) to pursue my career of working in film and the arts. Is there any effective way of doing this short of overstaying a tourist visa? I have a degree BA in anthropology and also experience working as an archaeologist. What are the chances I can get accepted on a permanent basis using these attributes? I also want to have the option of one day returning to Ireland briefly in case a relative gets sick or for a funeral or something before returning to the US which is why overstaying a tourist visa is not a great option for me, especially since it would require I work underhand or in fast food to earn a wage. What places in Colorado are worth visiting? What's the most out of place you've ever felt while traveling? 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? Is it worthwhile to make use of these credit card promotions?
I've only ever used a debit card, but I'm 25 now and will start to need to build credit and while I was booking I saw this popup.
Is there a smart way to make use of these kinds of promotions? Recommend things I need to experience in Los Angeles?
Really into asian or japanese stuff so I might check Japantown The urge to go North calls to me again.
I drove up from York to Skye via Glencoe last year and absolutely loved it, spent a week in a cosy little hut by myself doing plenty of walks and just enjoying the relative solitude.
The Isle of Skye itself is lovely, I did the Trotternish Ridge walk among others, but I feel like I could have spent way more time on the mainland, around Glen Torridon and such. Just anywhere quiet and starkly beautiful with big hills really.
So that's what I'm asking. I spend hours at work looking on Google Maps at where might give me the same sense of awe again. But I'm talking individual car parks like the one at Loch Arkaig (you can't just leave your car on a lot of the single track roads), hills and Munros, beaches, bothies. If you have any experience up there I'm all ears. What is there to do in Tucson, Arizona? What single language opens up the most doors for travel? Or maybe 2-3 languages what are the best museums you've visited? My mate and I are planning a boys road trip from Dallas, either to Miami or Chicago via New Orleans. Which would be better for someone who has only been to Cali and New York Everything seems more expensive than ever, especially airfare >travel to 15 different countries
>still lonely in all of them >SIR!! SIR!! YOU ARE A FOREIGNER IN COLOMBIA SO YOU MUST CARRY YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TRAVEL DOCUMENT, YOUR PASSPORT, ON YOU AT ALL TIMES!
>WHY YES, THIS COUNTRY DOES HAVE A REPUTATION FOR ROBBING TOURISTS ON THE STREET AT GUN POINT, BUT IT IS THE LAW YOU NEED TO CARRY YOUR PASSPORT AT ALL TIMES WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE!!!!!
Why is it only the most dangerous countries that make people do this? how friendly is this place for tourists? What are the best countries for backdoor studies? Is 25 too old to solo travel and have the hostel experience? I’m going to Peru to climb matchu peachu in January but I also have a few days to stay in hostels but I’m worried I’ll just be “that old guy” when I get there /trv/ I'm moving to a comfy beach town near Asbury Park, NJ.
Anyone live nearby? Is the town actually booming or is it all overpriced and sterile?
I'm only here for the winter (4 months), but really going to push myself to get the most of the "local scene". First time living solo too so any tips are welcome. I'm a NJ local but only moved back a few months ago after being away for about 10 years. Alright anons, give me the skinny on Medford. The good and bad. Anything. Starting to feel trapped where I live now (central california) and need a change of scenery and thinking about moving here. Any other recommendations in Oregon? Not Portland though. How dies the East compare to the west? what's Czechia like outside the Prague? What's up /trv/, been working up a plan to drive from Belgium to Vladivostok, Russia in my 1994 Mercedes. Still in the early planning phase, I'd only be leaving in early 2026. The route I'd be taking would take me through the balkans, Turkey, the stans, Russia, Mongolia, back into Russia and through Siberia. From there I'd probably sell the car or scrap it and move on by ferry to South Korea. Is this at all feasible? I realize I'd have to modify the car to give it more clearance for the Mongolian roads, any other things to keep in mind? Many people say that places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan etc. are past their prime and their golden age was X years ago.
But which places are experiencing their golden age right now? I would love to see more of those kinds of places. Or is literally the whole world just fucking deteriorating right now? Eurofag here
Situation:I get to spend 7 days in Vegas while buddy of mine attends convention.
For the duration (3 days) I have at least 8 hours of free time to see the sights and enjoy myself.
Budget: 3k for the duration i could add around 1k more but would prefer not to.
Already arranged Grand and Red rock Canyon's,Robot death match,Casino and hotel hopping.
Since chance of return trip are slim in the next decade or so I want to use this time to the fullest. So tell me wise fags of /trv what what to do and what to avoid. How much cash to hold on my person,how generous I should be with tipping and most importantly what to explore (entertainment,food,comedy ect ect,) Next /twg/ meetup will be held in Barcade in Taipei sometime in November. In the next week or two, I want to spend the next 6 weeks in a SEA country to buckle down and focus on gaining competency in MMA / Muay Thai / a practical martial art.
#1 in consideration is Thailand due to the prevalence of Muay Thai.
#2 is Manila, Philippines simply because I have access to free housing there.
I’m open to Vietnam because I enjoyed my previous travels there - and will consider Taiwan and Malaysia due to having some good friends there.
My budget not including flight is $550 a week. Some considerations are cost, and authenticity/quality of gym for the selected martial art. Good quality / nutrition is a secondary consideration. The last factor is things to do outside of training - my main focus will be training but non-partying activities would be great to spice things up.I have close to no combat experience other than some slight military combatives training.
Anyone have any recommendations/stories?

also i learned that this place was actually a safe haven for Russians during the war and Harbinites used to have a Jewish cemetery there at one point though how do you meet IRL slavs i know you guys are hiding out here somewhere but i dunno how to "legitimately" peek and cross in the europe border maybe next 5 years i guess
since i will come in "contact" with the mainland itself lemme know some good shit to do with the great firewall of china should i try something fun like probing the censored network with a cheap rooted phone? will anything from the outside even work at all and can i even phone home to the mini PC back in my room in manila?
now out of morbid curiosity what would happen if i type the infamous tiny man square in public wifi or use my issued tourist sim inside hotel for a harmless baidu search would i actually get trouble? inb4 OP delivers im not gonna risk my entire family for this stupid stunt 4chan though

I want to try it out because I'm young (20yo) and I can speak English well. I also always wanted to visit Australia and try to live in a different culture.
My question is, if it's hard to find a decent job in Sydney as a foreigner how do Australians view people like me? Just how life could be for someone like me in Sydney in general.
I don't want to go there all naive, I want to have some real expectations. Is there anything I should know? American. I fell in love with Brazil. I also hit Argentina out of the water.
Kind of want to go back to Brazil and then split it with another country. Thinking Paraguay or Bolivia. Anybody try dig nomading there. How was it. What's the "situation" like here? Stopping for a month between Phillipines and Thailand. what are the most vegan-friendly countries you've been to? What’s up /trv/
I’m at a low point in my life, so to run away from my problems I had the bright idea to travel along the coast from Greece to Croatia, since I am poorfag I hoped to do it all in a tent and hitchhike/bus the entire way
How feasible is this? Has anyone here done something like this before?
Anyways thanks for reading my blogpost and merry Christmas When will DPRK finally open up for us? I'm trying to visit Bora Bora without completely breaking the bank. Any advice?
Plane tickets + hotel for a week should come out to about $3000. I'm hoping to not spend more than about $5000 total. I'd like to hike and go snorkeling, and I know there are guided tours for that kind of thing, but I figured I could just bring my own gear and go by myself. I also don't mind sticking to (relatively) cheap food. I'll be using my own two feet to get around, so I won't be renting a car or a bike. I've never been on holiday. Yes I know, im posting here anyway fuck you. So yeah, I never go on holiday. I have a nice car (owner paid off) and nice appartment (owner paid off) and work few times a week but just never felt the need.
What do I miss out on? I'm from Europe and thought about going to like America and visit some big theme parks and go to bars maybe and see all fast food and scenery and rent a car. But going on airplane with baggage and everything just doesnt interest me >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? What is the best Eastern European travel destination? So I have a trip to Europe in a few months going from mdw to mia then taking Norse Atlantic to LGW staying there for a couple days. After that I'm taking LH to Munich from STN and staying in Munich for 5 days for Oktoberfest. Then after those few days Im taking the train to Salzburg Austria and spend the weekend there. Lastly Monday afternoon I'm taking a flight from Salzburg to belagrade serbia and spend 2 days there before I fly from belagrade back to ord.
Will this be too much flying and bullshit than it's worth or is it fine? Pic related is what I'm talking to belagrade from Salzburg and then back to O'Hare What was the worst place you traveled?
for me fiji
probably the poorest country I've ever been too every place is infested with bed bugs its hot and humid as fuck i even got a fungal infection on my dick, nuts and gooch because it was so humid my underwear was soaked all day and when i tried to sleep i almost got robbed at a hostel there too i was trying to sleep when i open my eyes with a dude standing over me trying to grab the phone attached to the charger near my bed.
despite all that i did meet a rich fijian who invited me to his house and had a big feast and drank kava with me. he also bought me some fijian clothes and got me a hotel "still shitty" room by the airport for the flight i had the next day.
id definitely say fiji is one of those places where id recommend you go the boomer route to a all-inclusive resort if you ever go Southeastern area in particular Hello /trv/,
I'm from Denmark and planning to travel to the US or NZ during my gap year. Are there any destinations you would recommend or experiences I must try if given the opportunity? My budget is approximately 150,000 DKK, which is around 20,974 USD. Will Syria be safe for tourism in the coming months? >OnlyFans and simp culture
>Truckloads of normies flocking everywhere for Instagram
>Lookism spreading everywhere
Idk anons I feel burnt out. I need some motivation to travel this year but it’s just blackpills everywhere I look. Future seems bleak. Hi guys first time posting here, what's the best country for a solo guy that mostly wants nice beaches and warm weather to visit?
Is Thailand worth it or are better alternatives?
Is 2000€ for 2 weeks there in January and flying from Europe unrealistic?
Thanks. I just realized that Malaysia basically doesn't allow tourists to stay outside of hotels for more than a few days at a time. What countries with a 3mo tourist visa have cheap apartments that are easy to get through Facebook or just asking at the front office? Please share your experience renting nice apartments for a few months at a time. Anywhere in Europe?
>use airbnb or negotiate with shitty hotel
Not even remotely comparable at the price point. $600 in SEA should get you a penthouse suite. In my experience, Peru and Vietnam are easy. Thailand seems to want year long contracts.
>3mo visa countries worth going to for Burgers:
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, India, Malaysia What am I in for? Plan is to arrive in Zurich, then see maybe 1 or 2 additional cities. What are the highlights? Art galleries, and museums are a must. How is Lausanne in particular? I hear it's a bit more laidback than the German parts of Switzerland. I'd like some of these in a normal luggage color without the anime branding does anyone recognize them or know something similar?
Surely these aren't an anime exclusive product. i have an autistic obsession with visiting north korea, and i don't think it will ever go away. i know i shouldn't go there and most likely never will yet i still have this obsession. anyone here been? or thought about it too? just something about it is so fascinating to my retarded ass Where would you send a soon to be 29 year old man who's been in and out of relationships the last decade and is now coming to terms with the fact that they may never get married or need a family house and so they should just start traveling to see the further corners of the world while they're still in good shape?
I'm based in the US northeast and have already been to many national parks in the US, Alaska, the Caribbean, France, Italy, Austria, and Slovenia, almost all done solo. Can't take more than 18 days off work at a time (healthcare). So far I'm thinking:
>India
>Argentina
>Indonesia
>Kyrgyzstan
>Georgia Think of traveling to Japan next Winter, around January or February and wondering where some good natural hot springs are. I'd love to go to one that has out door pools or at least a big window and some natural landscapes. I'm thinking of visiting Osaka, so any nearby Onsen would be great but I'd be willing to travel to see one. Post travel loadouts here. Picrel is what I am carrying around on my second Asia journey, apart from clothing. What carryon luggage and/or travel backpack do you recommend? I am a frog living in one of the most famous country-museum in the world, tourists come by the millions to admire what my ancestors built, and the French themselves take a certain pride in it. But these buildings are just a set, the hundreds of deeply rooted cultures of France are dead and buried. Today, the men who wander around this vast theatre set are nothing more than citizens of the world, with no connection whatsoever to the culture of their ancestors.
I've been to neighbouring countries and it's the same story. I went to Japan, believing I'd found the Grail far from Europe, and the situation was similar, though a little less severe. But that was ten years ago, so it must be much worse now.
I'm not just interested in food or monuments built centuries ago, which seems to be the definition of culture today. But culture has to be something that permeates every part of society and, most importantly, culture has to be alive and lived.
I need your help anons, I want to go to places where people and their land are one. I want to see cultures that have not yet been corrupted by the modern world. If you've been on such a trip, or have any ideas, I'd love to hear from you. Hi, so I've always wanted to travel around Europe. I thought about using an Interrail pass but I'm too broke for that and have missed my DiscoverEU program. So what should I do? Is there any other way to get an Interrail pass? Why are bitches here so hot? Anyone here have any good travel stories? Now that the dust has settled, he seemed like a real prick of a person and he was a real retard for not monetizing his videos but they were kino nonetheless. Also, how do we feel about the theory that he's Surveillance Camera Man? We took our first cruise last year, on DCL, and had a great time. We enjoyed it so much we booked another cruise for this year. We felt the premium price probably filtered out a lot of the "budget crowd" and that's what made it so relaxing.
Our 15 y/o loved the teen club and our adult special needs daughter loved relaxing in the adult only areas with us.
Can someone with experience on other cruises compare DCL to the less premium lines? Amenities, food, atmosphere, and (probably most importantly) the other passengers?
Were okay paying the premium but if we can save money and have just as good of an experience, then we wouldn't say no. best city for artisan food? Want to go to Puerto Vallarta next week for 5-6 days, going with the kid and wife, do I stay in a hotel or airbnb? I want to eat food not hotel garbage, any recommendations? Mostly going because the pregnant wife wants sand, beach and water and I learned to listen to pregnant women The real interesting ones don't have youtube channels sadly Any tips? What have your experiences been like?
Mexico discussion in general welcome too, not just Mexico City I'm not super rich but have about four million USD and want to move to Japan full time (spent about a cumulative year traveling there so I know a bit of what's up). Can get a cool, cheap apartment in a city, a vacation house in inaka, and retire.
However, seems like somewhat a difficult thing to do because of visas. Unlike EU it does not seem like there is a straightforward way to buy permanent residency in Japan.
Anyone ever heard of a roundabout way to do this? A buddy told me he heard of someone working for a shell business to seem like a highly skilled worker for a couple years to get PR but search isn't bringing anything up. Going in Asuncion, Paraguay for three months in january.
How to make friends?

Whatodo? How do you prevent they plant you drugs in your suitcase when you deliver it in the check in? There have been an increase of case lately and i'm afraid. I don't want to end in prison in a random country for being a blind mule How much better is the experience on the mid-tier luxury lines like Celebrity and Princess than the mass market lines like Norwegian, Carnival and Royal? Just got back from a 5-day trip to Kyiv. I'm gonna post a load of my photos here. Feel free to ask questions.
Itinerary: I got an early flight from my home city to Krakow, then took a train to Krakow centre. From there I picked up my sleeper train tickets from the post office, caught a second train to Przemysl and killed a few hours by getting zurek and pierogi at a small cafe. I wandered around Przemysl for an hour or so; nice town. Then I waited in line for 10 mins at the immigration building, crossed through and caught a sleeper train I'm looking for abandoned settlements to visit.
Usually they are all still owned with the settlers appointing a caretaker you can rent a place from so they're good for long stays.
You get a car, some supplies, it's like visiting a ski lodge. Once you're set up you can bring some tourist thots and smoke some weed 167 DEATHS.

They blame the birds this time, maybe russian birds, but it's a Boeing 737.
Unless you have death wishes, don't take Boeing. Hello anons
I am going to Zurich for NYE, then Grindelwald/Wengen/Interlaken for paragliding, mountains, bratwurst, rosti, scenic trains, cable cars, maybe skiing, chocolate and just enjoying the nature and the beautiful landscapes.
What is something you think I should do during my 3 day trip in this beautiful corner of the planet? Anything a tourist/google/extensive AI research wouldn't know that you think is cool? What's the best spot for bratwurst? Should I move to Orange County CA? I'm in Seattle and just about done with the shit weather, ugly workaholic from home people, and wokeness. I can transfer within my company. Left home midwest state at age 18 for University of Chicago computer science
>we were studying leetcode stuff weekly around a pizza in 2013 + exchanging tech interviews we'd recently seen etc
Made it to $1.5M USD net worth at age 32, but I've hopped around a lot geographically. I lived in Denver, Seattle (shortest), Hong Kong, Manila + surf town philippines, and now Bangkok. I've been living in Asia for a few years
I think an anon in a thread last month told me they believe I'd "eventually come around" to re-settling in the Midwest, so I've begun to think more about if it made sense for me financially, relationally, professionally, climate, etc.
So, I'd like to open a broader discussion on the Midwest. I'd especially like to hear from those that returned to it to re-settle or that paired it with a career switch/starting a (local) Midwest business. What can I await when going to these spots (in winter as in summer).
Want to do some nice hikes and to make nice scenic landscapes for /p/ 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. I went abroad for the first time in my life to Japan this year for a month and absolutely loved it. Then I took a trip to Europe to visit Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Prague and had bad experiences. Where would you recommend me to travel for my next solo trip? Would I be best off going back to Asia or should I go to another different part of the world I haven't visited yet, like Latin America? Pic related is a photo I took from the Setouchi Shimanami Kaido bike tour I took while in Onomichi. 10/10 would recommend. Do you have any plans for next Spring?
Where would you like to go in an ideal World?
Where would you recommend for people travelling in Spring? Where should I go in Athens if I really want to see its evil side? Where to go to virtually guarantee never seeing another white person for a whole year? China's smaller cities? North Koreas small cities obviously off limits >pnw
I think it would be cool to take Amtrak cascades from Portland to Vancouver then take a road trip to Alaska
>Chicago
I wanna see were watch dogs takes place
>new england
it looks cool and i haven't been there in years >Romania and Bulgaria join Schengen Zone today
ummm...euro passportbros...I don't feel so good... >passport control officer looks at me funny when i tell him which page on my passport to stamp Is 34 too old to be doing the solo travel Asia skit? Let me clarify I KNOW that all of SEA is not like this, but every tourist spot every nature spot that is within the radius of any town of decent size is completely riddled with garbage deforested, I've motorcycled all the way from Hanoi to Saigon, some parts further away from major centers were absolutely gorgeous, but any waterfall or nature spot near a city is a complete tourist trap at this point, the sad thing is I know these spots probably used to be gorgeous a decade or two ago.
I love a lot of things about SEA, I've been to Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, I plan on going to Thailand, but this is making me so depressed, I often skip these spots, but every so often I go to give them a shot, without any expectations and I am usually disappointed anyway.
I am currently in Cambodia, I know if I had my own motorbike here I would probably be able to find a few of these, but I am also concerned to vear off of the tourist trail unlike vietnam theres a much higher chance of getting kindnapped here, and police are much more likely to stop you, never had issues in Vietnam over 2 months and 4500km driven.
So here are my questions:
1. Are there any SEA countries that buck the trend in this regard and actually preserve their nature?
2. What part of the world would be cheap and affordable with beautiful unpolluted nature (I'm European so outside of Europe).
3. When did this change, I know it didnt use to be like this maybe 20-30 yrs ago, when did this change?
4. What is your personal experience in regards to this.
I'm sorry I'm just a bit black pilled despite the garbage, I have mostly been enjoying my trip for the last month, despite this being a giant detriment. I've been sick in bed for 5 days and Im looking what to do in Kampot once I get better and every waterfall and nature spot seems polluted just looking at photos online.
TLDR: I wish I could have travelled in SEA in like late 90s, after the wars and the conflicts, but before all the pollution Going to the ball drop. This year. Anything I should know? First time ever traveling abroad from the US. Family was always too poor or didn't have the time when I was younger, always wanted to visit. Was going to get my passport in Jan and start looking at flights/hotels for June or July.
Since it's "winter" (60f lol), I've read a lot of things are cheaper.
I've got Darling Harbor, The Rocks, Newtown, Taronga Zoo, the Tower Eye, Paddy's Market, the Queen Victoria Building, the Blue Mountains, Watsons Bay, the Royal Botanic Garden and Barangaroo Reserve, and a few museums and beaches spread over 2 weeks.
Anything else I should visit or that I should know about etiquette, transportation, people, etc? I am arriving in Budapest tomorrow and will stay there for a few days. May some nice /trv/-anons give me recommendations?
