No titleHey 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:

Besides the big three (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto), I’m under the impression most large Japanese cities are quite boring.
They almost completely lack historical sights, which is a given, as the country was built from scratch recently. But in contrast to Tokyo, they also lack their Shibuya / Harajuju / Akihibara, Shinjuku (that’s probably just the tip of the iceberg): non-historical areas that still brim with life. They don’t even have it at a smaller scale, it just isn’t there.
An average Euro town of this size (1+ mln) will have TONS of historical areas, an old town, dedicated areas for going out. And I don’t mean capitals, look at Valencia, at Lille, at Hamburg. Packed with landmarks and uniqueness.
In comparison, what is there to see or do in Sendai, specifically? Or in Kawasaki? Or in Fukuoka? Or Saitama? I know these cities don’t cater to tourists, but how do they even cater to locals? I watch videos from these cities and there’s just … nothing there, like most of the screen time is spent in some generic underground mall and everything above the ground is samey.
I know Japan in general is a good country for eating out. But that’s really it. There are no sights, no exciting urbanism, just featureless, drab, extremely samey (however clean and safe they may be) concrete jungles.STAN advice (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan)In June and July I will be visiting the Stan countries, I have dual citizenship, Czech/British, but I will be using the Czech as I do not have to have any visas.

But the reality is that I am just not thrilled about other places that much and the places I want to go to are fucking weird in certain ways that make me not want to go. Like I am never going to Korea or anywhere where the toilets aren't like the USA toilets. I primarily want to visit Mexico and Argentina but I hear that you can't drink the tap water there or you will get sick. What kind of shit is that? Literally can't brush your teeth with the water either. Then some places are very VERY close to third world-esque situations. Like I wanted to go to Puerto Rico or The Dominican Republic but I hear you basically have to stay on the resorts which if you are on a resort, you are basically just in Miami from what I hear. So what do you guys think? Is traveling really a good and useful experience or is it mostly ass? not to mention, I hate transit.

On the one hand I never travel, don't like the idea of traveling, and suspect I would just hide in my hotel room. on the other hand since i can afford to do it and it's something everyone says you should do if you get a chance, maybe i should try it and i'd see amazing shit and make cool friends and it would undepress me and be awesome. but I'm pretty uggo and autistic and not actually very interested in s3x or drugs or partying. so I feel like that fucks me on a lot of what people find fun about traveling.
or maybe I should airbnb in different places in the usa for a month at a time and get a feel for somewhere i'd actually want to live. but aside from cheaper = better and wanting low crime and not too crowded and a decent climate i'm not sure why any place would be better than anywhere else to neet it up in. so i have a hard time motivating myself to do anything besides just renting or buying a house in this town i already live in and kinda hate and continue neeting as i always have.
should i get off my ass and try the travel thing or am i honestly just not compatible with the lifestyle? i have choice overload but all the choices suck but i feel compelled to pick one anyways because people say that's what you should do.How safe is it to drive across the US?tl;dr Planning a honeymoon roadtrip across the US, how safe is it to drive?

I know some of you are old fags who remember the old days without them but now with the phone a lot of travel infrastructure has been reshaped around the smart phone so I am wondering what it is like to travel without one?

I am attending a 1-week-long family reunion in Porto and later spending at least 4-5 days with my relatives who live in Dublin before returning home (who knows, perhaps they will show me around Ireland beyond Dublin). The only part of the itinerary that is concrete is July 8-17 and my July 31 departure. I would like to visit Prague to listen to a Dvořák concerto and Vienna is close enough that it seems like a reasonable spot to visit? My intention is to avoid tourist/refugee-rich locations, so I can experience greater European authenticity. Perhaps Poland would alternatively be appropriate?
This is my first time travelling solo, as well as my first time visiting Europe, so please provide any advice!How do people travel Italy?I want to see Italy this summer for three weeks. Thought I'd go through all the major cities but then I realized you'd need a lot more than that to see everything it has to offer, so I decided to just do a couple of places like Rome, Florence, Venice, etc, but be thorough and get a real sense of these places together with all the history they contain. Guess I'll have to come back another time to see the rest. But then I searched for lodging in Booking and the lowest hotel around the city centre is 290$ A NIGHT. I don't want to spend 6-7k on hotel rooms nor do I want to stay in hostels or in some remote apartments in the outskirts of the city and take the metro or walk every morning to see the sights. The obvious solution is to rent a car which you can get at 1-1.5k for the entire trip and sleep in it, but then I read they have these "ZTL" zones at the tourist areas where all the interesting stuff are and you get heavily fined for entering them. So how to go about this trip? And what cities should I visit during three weeks?/jpg/ - Japan GeneralKabukicho Edition

Thought I'd start out with an after action report after spending 4 weeks in Chiang Mai, and 1 week in Bangkok.
>>Chiang Mai I thought CM was perfect for me as someone who doesn't really like huge cities but still wanted the option of going out and exploring urban areas while having access to nature and smaller towns. I spent my entire time training Muay Thai twice a day, 6 days a week and it kept me busy. So busy, that I felt like I needed another month or two to really appreciate CM. Despite that I had a good handle of Nimman and Old City. >Old City Had the most British and Australian backpacking youth. Glad they were having fun, but I'm 29 - and didn't really enjoy being in a hostel here for a few days, was really glad to get out. If you're interested in "the situation" there were plenty of places for that on Loi Kroh Rd and Kampangdin Rd. There were plenty of street food vendors and night markets here. I went to the Sunday Night Market on Rachadamnoen Rd and it was terrible. Way too packed and full of morons who seemingly forgot how to walk and would just stand in place. It was extremely irritating. There was decent food but I would go to other markets for similar vibes. Night Life I went to Zoe In Yellow once, and it was fairly trashy but somewhat fun if you go with the right crowd. It didn't appeal enough to me to warrant an additional visit. There was a mix of primarily western tourists and a few thai locals/tourists. Sylvie's and Stampers hostels always seemed to be active as well. >Nimman Had more Korean and Chinese tourists, and the streets were generally newer. This is where MAYA and One Nimman were, the biggest mall and upscale markets. If I were here to purely be a tourist I personally found Nimman to be more comfortable than Old City. Chern Dong Roasted Chicken was my favorite restaurant in Thailand and was here.No titleBest country walks that I can make a day trip from London in May? I'm envisioning taking a train out in the early morning, hiking all day (10+ miles would be nice) with a pub lunch in the middle and end with taking the train back to my hostel for dinner and crashout. Picture is irrelevant, doesn't just have to be East Anglia - but preferably somewhere not totally overrun by Americans like I know the rest of my trip will beSwedenIs Sweden a nice place to visit? Was planning a trip in the summer but I’m worried the place is full of Muslims and blacks now. Is it really that dangerous? Is it true that Swedish girls are coal burners? I’m a white American with blonde hair and blue eyes. Will I get completely ignored because I look like I’m Swedish? Do I need to know any Swedish? Can I get by with English? Is there any good food to eat in Sweden? Does Sweden use euros? Is it true that Swedish people are borderline autistic and refuse to talk to strangers or make friend with people they don’t know? What are some fun things to do in Stockholm? How is public transportation?No titleI need help planning a spontaneous trip for the first week of May, recommendations?
I’m newly single from a broken engagement and I’d like to stay under $2,000 as I’m saving money to go back to school. I’m not big on partying anymore so I want something relaxing but also activeNo titleI'm in my mid 30s and don't see a lot of point to travel anymore. I'm too old for the young and free 20s crowd and too young to enjoy monastic chill experiences with nothing to do. There's always a barrage of responsibilities waiting for you back home as well, jobs/businesses, dying parents etc. The carefree anything is possible vibe that exists up to your mid 20s is kind of gone. Then there's also the fact that people that travel today seem so busy checking off whatever landmark they want to use for social media and so forth, it makes meeting anyone a hassle. The locals seem less intrigued by tourism as well as floods of stupid tourists make you feel like a walking paypig in a foreign country. I can still see the point if you have a group of friends and you're all into hiking or whatever but the idea of just going somewhere and exploring seems dead now. I wish I could rediscover that sense of wonder and wanderlust, a sort of open-ended outlook to all possibilities and future but it's just not coming back. Certainly I got old but I think a lot of it was killed by excess globalisation and internet. There was a sweet spot some decade and more back where the internet and globalisation actually improved things but it is what it is now.No title>"I went to Japan and it was TERRIBLE and LOUD and filled with FOREIGNERS!!!" >Travel itinerary is literally just drunk party shitholes like Shibuya Don't go where every Indian and British person in the world is going to go and act surprised when is more like England or Mumbai than JapanNo title>Last Thread: >>2767254

>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.
Everybody does takeout and delivery now. I always felt self-conscious about strangers at restaurants. It's not just pizza delivery now so we can dine privately at hotel from any place.
If you aren't traveling and regularly go to restaurants you must want food poisoning. You have a dining table and stove right?
They dig their asshole and then touch your food. At least try to get food where you watch them make it like publix.
Unless it's a bar where you try and meet new people be a little more enigmatic with your family/partner it's more peaceful.
If it's for business just keep that shit on the phone
Fuck restaurantsMackinaw, MichiganI have a trip to Macinaw planned for fall, but I can't decide what to do after that. I'm not familiar with any of the area, other than Traverse.

Always liked geography and travel, and would like to do something a bit more serious with this.

Would be cool to elevate the community a little and encourage something beyond shitposting about hostels and backpacks.

When men say korea is "westernized" (and notice how only men say this), is that a codeword for women there actually have standards of a western woman which they can't compete in. It's also becoming a travel destination for female sexpests
Korea was socially way more conservative than Japan. Japanese temples and historical sights were largely just gift shops whereas this wasn't the case for korea. So this "westernized" argument doesn't seem soundTraveling as a snoozer?Is it pointless to travel as a snoozer?

I live abroad and do ESL online teaching with Chinese kids as a side hustle. I don't make much with it, just 10k or so a year. I have a joint foreign bank account with my wife, who's a foreigner. The Chinese company doesn't send me a 1099, and tells me basically that I have to do my own taxes (send in a 1040). I talked to a tax professional, and they basically told me (not exactly because of legality) that since they don't send a 1099 and the money is being spent in a foreign country in a foreign bank accoutn, the IRS doesn't know I make this money and I don't **really** have to declare it. I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge about this, as I could really use the extra dough since I'm moving into a new place.traveling to get away from peopleWhat are some good places to travel to if I want to be as far from other people as possible for a little while?OrlandoAny suggestions on things to do in Orlando that are NOT pic related/theme parks/tourist traps/etc?Zeeland NetherlandsWill be here for ~1 week later this spring.
