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.

Holy fuck Americans. Can you not go anywhere without ruining literally everything? Made a few mil off crypto recently and left my dead end job. Mid-20's, little family to speak of, and only a few friends dispersed across various U.S. cities. World is my oyster, but the prospect of absolute freedom is daunting.
Was thinking of heading to Latin America because it seems more open to foreigners integrating and living there semi long-term (compared to SEA/Asia).
Trying to avoid running into a bunch of America boomers (like Costa Rica) or 'passport bros' in DR/Colombia. But still want somewhere comfy to NEET, lift weights, learn the local language etc. Thinking maybe Brazil? Portuguese means higher barrier to entry, plus it's further from U.S./Canada. Any other ideas? Where would you go /trv/? EU bros - do I need an airside transit visa when transferring via Heathrow Airport?
I normally go with KLM or AirFrance via their respective airports, but I saw this bargain for BA flights. However the visa requirements seem incredibly obtuse with mixed answers and useless videos from third worlders. Anyone ever been to Similan islands? Thinking of flying to Phuket for a weekend and going there, but not sure about the crowds and how long it might take. Water looks amazing though. >here’s your 18% tip for handing me a drink
Is there anything fun to do here that doesn’t cost a fortune or that is even free for that matter? I’m sick of paying to do literally anything here. Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
>also known as /sqt/ (Stupid Questions Thread)
For most of your quick one-off questions that pertain to travel.
If your question is very long or convoluted, it might deserve its own thread.
If your question is specific to a popular destination, check to see if there is a relevant thread before asking it here.
Previous thread: >>2549934 I have 6 days off work and this extremely rough road trip plan out of LA and back - is there anything worth stopping for around the bottom sections of Wyoming or Idaho? The destination is around Salt Lake City to see a friend, but I've never been to Wyoming or Idaho and I'd like to at least check them off the list while I'm up that way. Felix Kjellberg (Pewdiepie) lives in Japan with his Italian wife and their infant mixed race (Nordic/Mediterranean) infant son, Bjorn. However, he’s made a terrible mistake.
Japan is a unique culture. It is a racially homogenous ethnostate. Anyone who is not racially Japanese is considered a foreigner, and can NEVER be truly accepted. You see where I’m going here?
Despite being BORN IN JAPAN, the kid will always be viewed as an outsider. Even though he was born there, he will never be accepted, because he is not racially Japanese.
Imagine being a foreigner in your own country. What will be the psychological effects on the kid, as he realises that he will always be a Gaijan, even in the country where he was born and grows up in. Never been to PA, have no interest in civil war shit or trains. I will not go to Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. I've already got a few botanical gardens picked out and I know I'm spending at least one night in Scranton. Recommendations for things like museums, nature preserves, and antique/vintage stores would be appreciated. Also some places to eat. Have a few days to kill so don't mind going out of the way so long as it's worth it. You have watched the premier travelling show Madventures on youtube, right /trv/? This place is amazing. I just started making my way south from Hanoi.
Anyone with experience got any routes to recommend? Is it underrated or actually just boring?

>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?
/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.
>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?
Absolutely! Disney discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.
Thread Tip Pro: When in line for a coaster with a bunch of normies, feel free to autistically infodump to them every single iota of information you know about the ride you are about to go on: opening date, manufacturer, # of inversions, stats etc.

Today i went to make my first passport with my parents(we live in italy), and on my father passport they put a mark that said positive meanwhile my mom's said negative. She is really concerned about that because she had some problem in the past thanks to some idiot relative she has, she she was afraid that because of him, the passport wouldn't be the same as the one of an ordinary person. The police man only replied "that's confidential". Does anyone know anything? tell me EVERYTHING you know about this country

Post your travel maps in this thread. Pic related is the official /trv/ Real Traveler's map™, edition 4.0.4
Fill in the countries and subdivisions you have visited, talk about your map and ask others about their maps. You can use the map however you like, the colors are more like suggestions, you don't have to use them, and you don't have to use all of them. You can add or remove colors and change the map as much as you want in any way you want. Don't like this map? Upload a completely different one. Up to you. Despite what some might say, there's no "wrong" way to use the map, and new posters and less travelled people are welcome and encouraged to stay and post :) This map is a group effort by our board, and we can only improve it if people reach out to share suggestions or corrections.
This is the newest edition of the map, edition 4.0.4, updated for January 2024. I'll post the simplified template in the next post. Changelog:
Subdivision changes
>Added Southwest Papua province of Indonesia (located in the northwest of Papua)
>The Central African Republic created three new prefectures in 2020 that I wasn't aware of before now
>Following a referendum in August 2023, Ethiopia's Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region was finally dissolved and split into Central and South Ethiopa Regional State
>Norway reversed some of the merged counties from 2020 and now consists of an unholy mix of 15 old and new counties
>Following the war with Azerbaijan, Artsakh has been dissolved and removed from the map
And this is why we travel lads. A country just disappeared overnight. The old Artsakh has been added as DLC. 
>Fell off motorbike injuring my wrist - a bus coming in the opposite dirxn forced me on to some slippery road

>Told me they needed proof I was wearing a helmet
>I had no way to prove this and MD's were not willing to write this in their report.
>I argued that they were denying my claim based on a technicality - I was claiming reimbursement for a wrist injury, not a head injury. In the absence of a head injury, the requirement to follow the law should really just be limited to not being intoxicated and having a valid DL.
Are people expected to call an ambulance or police just to document for insurance that they are not drunk and are wearing a helmet? I've been paying them monthly for 3 years so my only leverage is threatening to cancel my policy with them and find another provider. Still waiting to hear back.

Previous: >>2640850 I've always wanted to go there since I was in elementary school but I heard they can be kinda racist, I just want to know the gist of how'll they'll treat me for being mixed. Thinking of heading to Colombia next month
What am I in for? I need to spend 2 months outside of the UK for tax avoidance purposes, this will be in August and September.
I've decided I'm going to go to France. Im close to Dover so it's easy for me to get there, and I'm going to take my motorcycle so I can do some touring and have transport.
I need recomendations for nice areas to stay.
I'd prefer somewhere semi-rural and not many immigrants and blacks, sorry if this offends you, it's just how I am inclined. My budget is £650 for accommodation so not somewhere very expensive.
Has to be less than 4 hours drive from Calais.
I'm grateful for any insights or advice on this matter. You can make it here. Schools are all privately owned, you don't even need a tefl, just bullshit a resume and dress nice. Felon? Failure? It doesn't matter, you can start fresh here. My expectations were low, but holy crap.
As a foreigners, I literally can't do anything here. Can't buy a sim card, can't open any useful aps, can't buy train tickets online... can't even pay for a KFC burger at the Hangzhou airport because I couldn't pay with Wechat pay! holy shiet bros. Why is China so hostile to foreigners right now? what's the best volcano you've seen? Which island should I visit if I want the following:
- Stereotypical Caribbean island feel (palm trees, exotic birbs)
- Island is bigger than 1 mile. Not sure about the maldives.
- The closer to europe, the better
- Limited death and suffering risk from marine life (sharks are fine, but not sea wasp level)
- No all inclusive resort shit and guards, or at least you should be able to move outside without getting hassled by 1000 scammers other than the average masseur or beach ball sellers
- Focus on nature, no jet skies, paddles and sun lounge covered beaches with current music bars
Usually I go to greek islands, get a basic room and drive around with a scooter while eating sandwiches and local spirits and hiking/swimming. I guess the seychelles are good, but I'm not sure if they are worth it and more for couples and luxury style holidays. Ladies and gentlemen, Tkyosam has, sadly, passed away in Tokyo, Japan due to complications from diabetes.
Let’s all take a moment to remember him. What are the worst cities in the USA that you traveled to? Is it possible for an anglophone to find work in Montreal?
I don't have a lot of work experience, I'd like to go back to school. I studied in Montreal for about a year when I was younger and loved it. I want to return, but I only really have work experience in retail. Has anyone else lived there extensively? Is it possible for Anglos to make a living? whats the best plane pillow thing Going to Japan in October.
Want to potentially stay for longer than the 90 days of the tourist visa allows, but don’t know the best way to go about it. You can’t change a tourist visa to any other visa type while you’re in Japan as far as I know. Money isn’t a concern.
Student visa would require me to be at a language school 20 hours a week, which I’m not entirely opposed to, but really don’t want to be locked down to one area.
I’ve read of people getting work visas and then quitting their job once they get to Japan. The visa remains attached to the person, not the company, and (apparently) as long as you prove to immigration every 3 months that you are actively looking for a new job (if they even contact you), you’re good to go.
From US so working holiday visa isn’t an option.
I’ve been researching this incessantly online and would appreciate any input or advice. Semi nomad. How would one go about getting real work (not like WWOOFing) without the rigamarole of applications, fake interviews, and penis inspections. If anything I would prefer real interviews.
My ideal is showing up to a farm in Amish country and then working until the sun goes down.
I don’t want to take up something where the first few months i’m just “putting my time in” before i’m allowed to do something.
How did you find or build your employment that works well for you.

The post travel depression is real.. i had this when i returned from thailand too but this one hit so much harder cus i could share my happiness with friends.. I graduate in july as a RN. should i save up money and consider working in japan for a few months in the tourist sector? i feel like traveling is the only good way to live life I went to Korea for a few weeks this winter and I really liked it... has anyone traveled/lived there for an extended period of time? How was it for you? Tips, advice, stories, etc?
I've been steadily learning more about its language and more highbrow culture (not the kpop stuff), and it's made me even more interested. I'm a 28 year old grad student who just got his masters and is starting a PhD, and if that doesn't work out, I was seriously thinking of applying for South Korea's English teaching program or something and going to a rural area for a few years before figuring out what to do next. Hey guys, 23 y/o white male anon with no future ambitions in life who's been to around 15 countries. I want to ask what experience you guys have with TEFL websites or with Worldpackers, Workaway, or other volunteer travel websites? Wanting to do long-term travel and maybe it'll give me some direction. 
Happy Sunday Catchan,
I thought I might tap into the collective travel knowledge here since we are all a bit of a diverse bunch from varying backgrounds. So I just booked a flight to Japan next month May 3 to Jun 1 and I'd like to hear any tips or reccomendations from those who have visited there or anywhere in the Orient really.
This seems like one of the best months to travel there. Golden Week is just ending so less crowds and just before the wet season and before summer vacation for much of the world. I got a large backpack and plan to buy a second hand piece of luggage to load up with goodies before I head back.
I know there might be a bit of a culture shock when I get there so I am doing my best to be prepared as this country is probably the most "different" country I have been to. So please share any thoughts or your experience in the matter. I am a well off male around 40 and I am planning on staying at a variety of different properties including ryokans, capsule hotels, hostels and Marriott properties as I am a Ambassador Elite with them. Also, I love hot springs and considering walking the Nakasendo Trail. A good primer or must knows would be very helpful for my trip. Thanks! What is the smallest bag you think you could get away with international travel?
This last trip I took a 45L max size carry on and a near 40L personal item and had it stuffed full of clothes I didn't use and other bulk. That bag even bursted at the seams at the end of the trip. Now I'm thinking to take only one backpack at 20L. Can it be done? So what if you don't change clothes often. And I didn't even use 80% of the other doodads I packed besides clothes. It would make exploring around the city and hotel hopping so much more exciting. How many bad reviews complaining about the same thing before you should take it seriously? This resort has 4.5 stars on trip advisor and nearly 10000 reviews but in the past year there has been atleast 20 reviews from what I can see, which say they or their family were repeatedly sexually harassed by the workers groping and things like that. I’d be going with my gf so that’s the only reason I’m questioning this other than that the place looks amazing. what the fuck
you can drive from europe to the sahara in 2 days Is this a safe country to travel to? How are tourists treated by the American people? What states do you recommend avoiding if any? How much it costs to live a comfy, low-energy NEET life in Southeast Asia
>Home country: USA
>Countries visited: Philippines (29 days), Thailand (29 days), Malaysia (58 days), Thailand (28 days)
>Total in-country expenses: 4215 USD
>Flight expenses: 1835 USD
>Total expenses: 6050 USD
144 days total, $42/day
Can you afford it?
I saved $15,000 specifically for this trip, so it looks like I won't be returning to work any time soon, heh heh Bros, heading to Switzerland next Wednesday w my brother. Been a lazy pos and he pretty much planned the whole trip. How’s this looking? Anything missing you’d highly recommend or something you’d say to avoid? Love hiking but not a fan of congested areas as I like to hike to get away from the rest of normies. For transit according to my calculations it’s cheaper to just buy our tickets as we go as opposed to a 6 day travel pass by about $36. Any nuances involved with the day to day plan that would make the 6 day pass the better option? What is the most touristy city on Earth? Do most of you just travel for business or are there some passport bros here aswell? I just don't understand what type of job you could have to maintain this type of lifestyle.
So my main question is, what job do you guys have? How the fuck did Bald not at least get robbed?
Were there parts of the Darien video that seemed fabricated?
And in general - how does he keep getting away with it? Going to picrel for 5 days next month. What do if I want to eat with and talk to Polish people and avoid filthy tourists like myself For those of you who travel a lot what's the best experience you have had on a flight booked with credit card points and with what airline did you use? Also, with and what credit card did you use to get those points?
I want to go to Japan one day and say up my points so that I'm able to get a first class experience for almost no extra cost.
I'd like to apply Amex Gold card one day and get that welcome owner but they don't have the special offer right now. Going to be in Seattle for the next year. I keep hearing about the "Seattle Freeze" where people don't really like accepting outsiders into their social cliques.
How do I meet people/make friends while there? who /cruise/ here? Thinking of taking my parents on one I'm curious if there is any good ones for North Americas And why is it the New York magic stairs? I know some people will say “anon it’s never too late!” but I don’t want to be seen as some old creepy fuck wanting to go dancing.
So unless you’re older and have done those things with positive outcomes, how old is too old to travel and have fun with locals? Did you go and what did you think? Alright /out/ have any of you ever tried workaway?
https://www.workaway.info/
if you have do you have any tips or stories? im considering signing up and aiming to spend a bit of time working for accommodation in some parts of Europe, share your stories. Have you ever been to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch and the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor, did you ever notice that? No longer in favor. "Never fight uphill, me boys!" Never fight uphill. They were fighting uphill. He said, wow that was a big mistake. I want to plan a trip to Japan ( lmao so original amirite lol).
Is 2 weeks ok for just Tokyo and Hiroshima?
I want to go a bit to Yokohama from Tokyo and to Kure, Etajima etc from Hiroshima.
I want to see Naval history shit, eat curry and what not.
Also, should I take a train or plane between TKY and HIR?
Is going to a baseball game worth it? Are any of the pacific islands worth a visit? Are they pretty much all the same as each other or are the Melanesians, Micronesians and Polynesians noticeably different? It's a rare part of the world I don't know much about Any advices or places to visit? I’ll be there for 5 days on a month What's the most you can handle driving in a day? I'm thinking of driving from Kansas City, MO to Buffalo, NY in one day which is about 14-15 hours of pure driving time + breaks to refuel the car, get food, etc. I'm not sure whether I'm deranged to try doing this and should just stay somewhere else for the night or whether this is a good idea. I think the most time I've spent on the road in a day before is 9 hours.
Pic unrelated: I would be driving a Honda Civic rather than a big ass Cadillac. Haven't seen a Mexico thread in a while.
I will be doing a trip through usa in the summer and after that I am thinking of heading to mexico for 2 weeks (it would be my first time in mexico).
I was looking at Mexico city and its surroundings, but I am wondering if 2 weeks is too long. Also, how is the safety around there (dont really care about being robbed, not a fan of more violent crime aka kidnappings). Last night in Buenos Aires.
I just told a particularly persistent villero trying to sell me bread to fuck off, even flipped him off and shit.
He mumbled some unintelligible threats but otherwise left.
I admit I was scared that I was gonna get jumped on my way to the hotel I'm staying since this was fairly late at night at but nothing happened.
Feeling like a total badass right now.
It's all about being firm and growing some balls. Flying out to Melbourne for the first time this winter. Any notes and recommendations of spots to check out? Is it good? I am staying in a town right next to Amalfi called Conca dei Marini Any small or medium sized cities you really like where AirBnBs and short term rentals are reasonably? I’m looking for somewhere to spend the summer but haven’t done much traveling so I have no idea where to go. 
Which city is better to live in or near?
I’m sure many anons can attest to the fact that London feels like a collection of towns rather than a city. London has about double the land area of New York despite having a similar population. Londoners don’t even consider anything outside of Zone 1 or 2 properly London.
The first claimed benefit of London is history but this I believe is a misconception. Much of London is recently built urban sprawl. Difference is London (whose modern history really starts in late 1600) retained its historical centre while New York tore it down. The historical feel is minute compared to somewhere in Italy or southern France.
The second claimed benefit is ease of travel to the continent which is of course advantageous but how many impromptu European trips are you really going to make? I feel New York’s relative close proximity to Boston and upper New England or even to Pennsylvania is often ignored. There isn’t much to explore beyond the London’s city centre.
Not to stray into politics but the only reason why London has retained its prominence is because the UK government chooses to ignore all other areas in the country. The decline of the UK on the global stage and therefore London itself should be considered; how much longer will London retain the prestige associated with it? Trying to decide which is the most nimble, flexible and fastest option to commute on a city or while out traveling to a different country. Where do you find short term rentals (1-6 months)? AirBnBs are $10k per month and Craigslist is mostly scams. Thought we used to have a general here.
Any English teachers in the house? Or anybody looking to get into tefling? Has anyone been to Hong Kong post COVID? Is there still soul or has it been completely taken over by the CCP? Are there any ACTUALLY good places to learn languages online? Post the downsides of living in the midwest What is it actually like to live in Florida?
To put it short. I'm sick of cold winters. I want to live next to theme parks... (not a disney adult)
I've visited Orlando a few times, so I'm not just shooting in the dark, but I wonder from any locals, what do I not understand as just a tourist?
What is the deal with all of the development complexes and HOA's? how do you even know which ones are for old people? What area's do I avoid? I've a Delsey luggage but lost the code. It's on 'open' position.
help welcome I am spending five days here a month from now for work. My schedule allows a lot of free time. I love history,museums,nature,antiques,thrift and food. I love off the beaten track stuff. Uniquely Maryland things. I have been Edgar Allan Poe obsessed since age 14! I am so excited for this trip! Please reveal the good stuff :) Is traveling by train the most horrible experience ever, /trv/?

Unifag here, can't finish my degree with summer courses so I'm gonna take the time to fuck off somewhere.
What are some cities in the US that are

>have stuff to do (either venues for concerts, sports, etc. or outdoors stuff like hiking, climbing, etc.) from may to august
>walkable
I'll try to pick up a seasonal job (or just lie and get a mcjob and then quit unannounced when it's over) so I'll have some income, and I have savings so I can afford it if worse comes to worst, but affordability never hurts. Anyone traveling for festivals this spring or summer? 
I'm writing to you from Wuwei, a forsaken city in China where misery reigns supreme. Life here is nothing short of a waking nightmare—a relentless onslaught of poverty, oppression, and despair.
Imagine streets lined with dilapidated buildings, their crumbling facades bearing witness to the decay that consumes us. Every corner harbors the stench of hopelessness, a suffocating reminder of our dire circumstances. And amidst this desolation, the insect-like behavior of the population thrives, each individual consumed by their own struggle for survival, oblivious to the suffering of others.
The government's iron grip tightens with each passing day, snuffing out any semblance of freedom or hope. We're treated like mere pawns in a twisted game of power, our voices silenced, our dreams crushed underfoot.
But I refuse to surrender to this fate. I refuse to accept that this is all life has to offer. I yearn for escape, for a chance at a better tomorrow. My eyes are set on America or Canada, where I believe I can find the freedom and opportunities that elude me here.
If you have any shred of knowledge or advice on how to break free from this hellish existence and make my way to America or Canada, please, I implore you, share it with me. Your words could be the beacon of hope that guides me out of the darkness. 
>Malaysia thread archived and forgot to recreate it ah well time to be the new OP this time

ive also heard that they have a similar Islamic architecture to Dubai on buildings can anyone confirm this looks interesting though id prefer to see European colonial structures rather than the PRIDE screens banner on Araneta city (wokeism yuck)
have anybody experienced censorship on their local internet due to conservative "prawn" (pr0n) laws? i have RDP installed on my home computer for fallback shitposting and images backup just in case cuckchan is rangebanned
previous threads (sort of) >>2625303 >>2630848 jannies sorry for the repeat posting damn can you guys actually participate this time rather than stay idle? we dont get these opportunities very often as were not your typical richfag e-celeb vloggers > Do not go anywhere in Latin America without pictures of your family, and when family is brought up (which it will be almost immediately in the conversation), use it as an opportunity to bring out the photographs.
Do you bring family photos with you on your travels? I would be beyond uncomfortable with this. Hello /trv/
I'm planning a trip to Carcasonne in France with a pal.
Thinking it might be better to also visit Toulouse while in the area. Maybe fly in and out of Toulouse, doing a night there at the beginning and end and getting a train to Carcasonne in the middle of the trip or something.
Anyone know anything about either destination?
How about nightlife in the area - which one is better to be in at the weekend?
Also interested in medieval history an shiet, read a bit about the Cathars and shit like that but already been to Avignon and Arles so a bit further West this time - any good tourism pointers in the area appreciated. Here I am, in Vancouver, thinking that this is the best the West has to offer. And it actually fucking is. Is Asia the only hope for a good quality of life?

I just want a place with culture, nice weather and nice people. No Western hellhole provides any of those things. Is there a way i can move to New zealand or Canada without having a college degree? I live in a country where only top 5% of people go to college and community colleges kinda dont exist here. Thanks for any advice. I have a 15 hour flight ahead of me tomorrow boys. Give me some advice to help me not want to kill myself. I purchased the in-flight Wi-Fi along with advanced economy for the extra legroom, brought a book, a battery pack charger for my phone along with a small camping pillow for my window seat. Wish me luck Headed to Iceland as a single guy. Planning on doing a snorkeling trip and having a car to tour around in. Anybody else have good recommendations? can I get a QRD on staying in the state of Sabah, Mayalsia long-term! impulsivley booked a ticket to japan for a week what the fuck even is there to do in japan anyone whos been there before or a weeabo give me reccomnedations on what to do 
23 yo, will be 24 by then
what is an affordable state that is still not absolute shit
also what advise would you give?
my original plan is
>apply for jobs and find rent before coming
>go to some popular expensive state like NY, CA or MA
>share an apartment with 1 or 2 roommates
>pay around 700-1000/month and only use that place to sleep. spend most time outside.
>get 1 or 2 low skill jobs (around 3k/month) so I don't have to live off my savings (less than 6k)
>rely mostly on public transit to get to work
>do this for a month or a few months, while saving some money and looking for job in my domain.
>get a job in my domain (won't be easy especially right now for computer science)
>go from here...
I will eventually have to move somewhere else. because I don't like metropolitan areas, and I don't like having roommates.
is there a state that is affordable but still has good job opportunities?
somewhere with good nature and non autistic people.
people recommended going to some midwestern state like indiana. but I heard people say people there are kinda autistic.
I can just go there from the start maybe and rent would be cheaper. but not sure how easy it would be to find a job there.
maybe I can stay there until I find a job in my domain another state. that could also work.
is my original plan retarded or is it doable? should I do something else?
is going back to college in the US worth it? even if it's only to socialize and develop a network.
tldr. I am still not decided yet, the us is huge and there are too many options to choose from. any tips in general? What to do in Indonesia?
Where would you go and what would you do if you were there for a few weeks? im planning to visit russia
my problem is where can i stay in russia for cheap?
my budget is 1000 euro for 1 month including food and train tickets Anyone been to the Oaxacan Coast? going with my wife at the beginning of May. Flying into Huatulco but then after it's wide open. Thinking of renting a car and cruising the coast to check out all the little towns along the way. Maybe see some bioluminescent algae. Eat some dope food. Maybe do some drugs on the beach. Any and all info or tips are welcome. I'm planning a trip to China this summer. Is it possible to book one of these caves on Airbnb? I'm from a European country and prefer traveling to impoverished communities so I can appreciate the smaller things in life to a greater extent We haven't had a Digital Nomad thread in a while.
>I quit my company and signed back on with them as a freelancer
>Total freedom to work anywhere within Asia Pacific
>Software Engineering
>Income of about US$5,000
>Thinking either Thailand or Malaysia
Ok that's enough about me discuss the topic of digital nomadism. Seems like Thailand is the only retainer rational choice for infrastructure and cost. Japan seems promising but their visas are strict and it's relatively expensive. 
How do you decide whether or not to travel with someone?
One of my friends is trying to break into the larger music scene, he's done some live shows in smaller clubs in some big cities. He wants to go perform in Europe this summer. He's asked me to come with him.
The problem is, the only thing this guy talks about is his music and shows. He's obsessed with it. While I'm happy for him, he doesn't actually take much interest in my life. I probably see him once every few weeks.
I've gone on roadtrips with him where we haven't really said a single word, because we don't really talk. I dread hanging out with him without our larger friend group because either we don't talk at all while hanging out or we only talk about him & his music.
I don't know why he wants me to go with him, I think it's to split the costs since no one else wants to go. The thing is, I feel like I'm pretty much just a background character to him. This whole trip to him is to advance him musically I don't really know if I'll be able to fuck off and do things by myself.
I'm trying to think positively about this, especially since I told him I'd go with him, but we haven't booked anything. I've never been to Europe. Is it worth going under these conditions? It would be a 2.5 week trip. This June, the lads and I are planning a trip to the Lychee and Dog Meat Festival (玉林荔枝狗肉节) in Yulin, China. Has anyone been before? What kind of dog meat dishes can we expect to find there? Any info is appreciated. Will have a week here.
Read it is quite dirty and gritty and streets are cramped.
I'm fine with that in order to see thr history.
What is it like in April time.
And is it worth leaving the city to stay at other places, islands or beaches?
Is there a good itinerary which lists the good places to see. Hard to gauge from pics which ruins are best.
Also which museums are best. Interested in history without being a faggot about it.
Greek food is hit or miss for me so going expecting that already. I just came back from my visit to Charleston SC and was blown away. 80% white, very nice and well mannered people, amazing Latin Mass at a Catholic Church, food has small portions but good, nice, beaches.
Do you guys think this is a good place to move to, I am a leaf from Cuckada. Redpill me on Flushing Chinatown in Queens, NYC
I want to travel but not go to far. I live in upstate NY so I wouldn’t even be leaving the state.
All I know is that it’s the biggest Chinatown in the US now. And street view on Google Maps make it look comfy. I got my B.S. in engineering last year and I want to move to South Korea
>no work experience
>can't speak Korean
>no TEFL cert. and would prefer not to teach English
>haven't applied for a visa yet and might need sponsorship
What are my options for getting there and staying long-term? Going to Amiens, France for 10 days for work. What should I know/do? Do you let others or things annoy you when travelling?
Or do you just ignore it.
If not, post examples
1. Americans asking questions in a museum (it will be a moronically stupid child level question of ignorance).
2. French/Dutch accent is heard nearby
3. Queue skipping What happens here? I'm a lover of natural beauty and I mostly travel for the scenery and photogenic landscapes. White guy in his early 30s here, is it worth the visit? Trip will be ASAP or in a month or two whenever we can get it sorted.
Ideally I’d like to go somewhere I can move to, as I am also thinking of moving.
Currently I just don’t like the level of pollution in my country, nor the people who are very rude. Also the nature isn’t very safe, not much people and locations are remote.
The budget for the trip is moderate. I don’t think Icelandic countries will be doable since they’re extremely expensive… but for moving to Finland for example, if it is easy to find a job, the job would also pay more because the cost of living is higher right?
Anyways I was thinking Portugal.. I was considering to visit Italy but I heard that the overall pollution there is bad too
We like nature but my boyfriend is overweight so he can’t hike for very long. Also we are hoping it will be a bit cooler where we go, like 25 Celsius or below.
Please help with any suggestions! We are both extremely bad at planning and seriously need help deciding where we can go. Why are the Midwest and deep south so bland?
>Gateway Arch
>Indiana Dunes National Park
What a joke I'm planning on going to Asia to teach English. What's the best country to go to? >passport bros saturating any decent location
>social media basically bringing in hordes of normies and zombies into any tourist location
>westernization at rapid pace
>overall inflation
>brutal competition with concepts like looksmaxxing and geomaxxing going mainstream
>foreigner fatigue
Future doesn't look bright bros. What keeps you all motivated to travel? (((Airlines))) slowly shrinking the size limit of carry-on luggage every year hoping no one would notice, why do they do this? I will be driving from New Mexico to Connecticut and would like to see some sights along the way. Anything worth pulling over for? I'm okay with getting slightly off course by a few hours if worth it. My buddy and I are planning a 1.5 week holiday to visit Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Reykjavik this summer, thinking about spending 3 days in the first two, 2 days in Copenhagen, and then an afternoon and overnight in Reykjavik. We're both interested in history and cool museums. I'm suggesting that we stay in hostels, since they're cheap and pretty friendly from my experience in the Benelux. Any recommendations for places to go, stay, or eat at?
>Oslo
Viking Ship Museum, Akershus Fortress, Frognerseteren, Kon-tiki and Fram Museums
>Stockholm
Djurgarden + Museums, all the stuff in Gamla Stan, the Hornstulls Strand
>Copenhavn
Rosenborg Castle, Kastellet, Christiansborg Slot, Stroget Street
>Reykjavik
Viking Settlement Exhibit, and the downtown walking area, not enough time for a driving tour
On that topic, which language has the most cognates across the group? I'm currently in NOLA, Louisiana during the French Quarter Fest because it was on my way back from the eclipse. Here's what I've done so far

My first time ever visiting Japan. Is this a good itinerary? I don’t want to rush myself during my trip and enjoy both cities at a comfortable pace. Yeah, it's that thread again, motherfuckers.
I used to be a weaboo, but now Japan kind of disgusts me. Too westernized.
Last time i was there was 2016 and I have postponed my comeback because i can't figure how to avoid Stacy and Dylan doing a selfie at Senso-Ji and whatnot.
What are the places in Japan that are not ruined yet?
And i don't mean some random farm in the Niigata prefecture. I mean actual places with people like Nagoya or Sapporo maybe... Going to be in Pacific Beach, San Diego next weekend for a wedding. What things are worth checking out while there? Planning to go to Australia with a working holiday visa. My goal is to work there and make some money to see the country and then use it as a jumping off point to go see south east asia. Am I delusional for thinking I'll make money to travel while in Australia? Any thoughts on what work i'll be able to do or where I should stay? Where is the absolute cheapest place to live in America that's still livable? By that I mean no junkies and some available job/social opportunities. I have an online job and I want to save a large amount of money over the course of a year. I'm not gonna live out of my car and I'm not gonna live out of a tent. Somewhere with my own stove, shower, and bathroom would be ideal. Discuss everything related to Philippines travel here Thinking about taking a trip to japan, and I was wondering where are the sluttiest catboy maid cafes are. Like which city or region has the most of these cafes What are some 'underrated' Spanish tourist destinations? As in not as packed as Malaga or Mallorca during the season. What does /trv/ think of international ferry travel? Note these are not cruise ships How do I get best prices for booking hotel in Vegas for upcoming memorial day weekend Anyone here live in, or know Alabama pretty well... I want to visit the state, preferably go somewhere that there's a lot of people hanging out...
One place I'm thinking about going to is the OWA Resort park... Are there any other places you would recommend? What's a good travel destination for someone who's super fucking stressed from work and doesn't need the added stress of planning different things to do every day of vacation? Greetings Fellow /trv/lers:
I am in a haitus from traveling that will last into the Fall, and feeling gloomy. Brighten my day, if you would, with travel porn pics from your travels. I'll post some of mine. Going to this shithole in the summer. What's there to do? Super travelers of /trv/ (those who spend around half or more of the year travelling), what has it done to change your perspective? Do you feel like you belong more to the world than a given country, do you think higher/lesser of people you meet, has it helped you find meaning, etc?
I've considered taking a travel sabbatical for a few months and wanted to know what I'm in for mentally. Discuss everything related to Thailand travel in this thread.
Picrel from the train journey through the mountains of Phrae province. Planning on going to Germany for the summer, where I plan to hike around Schwarzwald and Bayern. Any frens with great recommendations for meeting other travelers and germans to hike with? Any Americans have experience visiting Israel during better times compared to now? I want to see the same places Jesus walked on this earth, but I really don't want to enter anywhere in Palestine or places that have Muslims.
I am also considering migrating to Israel (but I'm not a jew), and I read about renouncing my American citizenship and learning Hebrew. I took Hebrew at Christian school for two years so I can get by. I'm willing to take additional classes for me to migrate to Israel.
What should I know the most about Israel? I want to travel to a couple of small nations in the middle-east.
However I'm concerned about safety, should I stay away given the current circumstances?
Here's the route I plan:
>Kuwait
2-3 days
>Bahrain
2-3 days
>Qatar
2-3 days
>UAE
7 days You have 10 days to spend in one of these two regions.
Which do you pick and what are you doing there? Thinking about a 10-day trip to India. Am I guaranteed to be sidelined with some form of illness? I've read stories where people couldn't leave their hotel for days due to diarrhea, even when taking strict precautions. >booked a trip for next month
>first time solo'ing
>very excited
>mfw my entire vacation (and the money I've spent booking) might be eroded by fucking some retards in a desert shooting paper planes at each other
Anyone else sweating bullets right now? What are the odds the shit with Iran and Israel interrupts air travel? I am a US Citizen, got a tourist visa, and visited St. Petersburg for three weeks.
Pro tips:
>DO go through a Russian visa agency because they will make sure you fill out the application properly (I used Russia Agency) but apply far in advance to avoid massive costs for expediting.
>DO apply for the three year multiple entry tourist visa. It is the most generous tourist visa that Russia offers and it is ONLY available to US Citizens.
>DO bring more than enough cash because your Visa/Mastercard/American Express/UnionPay cards won't work
>DO not exceed the 182 day stay (you MUST do a visa run and spend 24 hours outside of Russia)
>DO not break their laws (such as bringing-in more than $10K without declaring it at customs, bringing-in drugs, criticizing Islam, questioning the Holocaust, etc. (Remember that Freedom of Speech doesn't exist there.)
AMA Healing retreat travel destinations!!! OMG !!!
Places of nature and tranquility that have healing springs, healthy food, good vibes and a good place to heal oneself mentally/physically and spiritually
I found some healing in the mineral waters of Budapest and also in Florida at warm mineral springs
Im currently looking at going to Poland and finding a small town that has a mineral spa nearby , i think Zakopane has this some mineral waters and hopefully nice cafes and food >Country
>Where did you go
>How was your trip
El Salvador. Went to Dallas, I stayed at some cheap motel from Lake Highlands and, man, what a shithole it was. I wasn't expecting to be in a high black area with so many junkies around, it felt very unsafe. Same thing along every dallas railway station. Moving around was way expensive. Fort Worth is 1000 times better than Dallas, it feels there's a lot more to see and do. I should have booked there in the first place.
I managed to watch the eclipse at the Dallas Arboretum. The box office lady let me in despite tickets being sold out. We were lucky for the sky to clear up in time for totality, most of the other days had been overcast. I'm going to Chicago in about two months, staying for a week
What is there to do other than the pizza and visiting this thing? I'm Thinking of Backpacking travelling by foot from Matamoros, Mexico to Managua, nicaragua. Any advice on what to pack? What to expect? What to watch out for? I want to savor the full 2,600 miles on foot and would like to know some survival tips like hunting sheltering fishing boiling water and building shit with a knife for 73 days. Any experience nomad is much appreciated!
>keep In mind, I will not be taking along any money. I will try to depend on the land and kindness of people. Border crossing will only be my worry getting across Guatemala, honduras, and nicaragua. ganna have to go to the miserable country of Britain because i wanna see a friend that sadly lives there. is there anything i can do there thats cool that is NOT a London museum or somthing related to British culture cause thats lame. (ganna be there in may) Heading out to the east of the state in May to work on an archaeological dig, what’s it like over there? Same as the Midwest or more like Montana and the plains. Any tips for Northern Arizona? Been to the Grand canyon so trying to visit places like horseshoe bend and antelope canyon now. Might try and see some condors on the north rim too How strict are various countries about toiletry / liquids?
I know in the US that TSA says it should be 1 quart bag but it's obvious most people's bags are larger than that and they don't seem to care
