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.

For all other matters:
General culture questions >>>/int/
Politics discussion >>>/pol/
Transportation discussion >>>/n/
Outdoors-related discussion >>>/out/

For more information about safety, planning and other miscellaneous topics, check out the pastebin in the next post:

Is europe a cooming destination?
R[1]
There's not any coomer threads up, and I know it won't be like that Eurotrip movie, but is it even worth it going to any of Europe to have fun these days? Especially alone? Are Europeans snobs? Why would anyone go to Europe over Asia or hell, even Africa where it's cheap and women are plenty.

Is it just me or India...?
india
India HAS to be one of the worst places on the planet after war torn countries. I was in the capital yesterday, in one of the most expensive areas and the sheer amount of ugliness was crazy. From the buildings to the animals to the people. Just dirtiness and ugliness every fucking where. I was in a cafe in one of the most expensive post codes hoping to be amongst some beautiful people. Instead, it was just a constant stream of weirdly disfigured, unfit and super ugly people. If their bodies were okay their faces were fucked. If their faces were ok, their bodies were contorted. And when you talk to them its as if they are not even at your level. Especially the tuk tuk drivers. There really is something fucked up going on in that country. Like an eugenics experiment gone bad. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there anywhere in this country where one can find mostly good looking people? Or is it time to fly out to somewhere close by with better people?

FUCK SOUTHWEST
Southwest_Airlines
Last week I took a trip to Las Vegas, and was honestly excited to have a layover in Phoenix since I've never been there and want to move to Arizona one day. I booked a ticket through the Chase travel portal since it's my first time getting credit card reward points for flights and wanted to try SW since I've never flown them before. My flight left is for 5PM at Dulles and pre-borading is 4:30PM. I get at the gate in the email and wait for an hour only to miss my flight, since the actual gate was changed and I only would've known that if I resigned in again through their shitty app.

I never got an email update or a text that the gate was changed. When I talk to the agent about missing the flight he takes no responsibility and blames me but rebooks me to connecting flight to Denver. Keep in mind there was no visual indicator at any of the gates that they changed the gates and kids were being loud af, so there was a strong possibility that I just tuned it out do to them being so annoying.

I lose a ton of sleep due to waiting longer for the flight to Vegas, but when I actually get there they damage my items in my carry-ons and I have to look for luggage myself since one of the tags came off.

You guys can call be a retard but I will never fly this shitty airline again, unless I get a free flight.
>TLDR

This airline is complete garbage and needs to update their to the standard of Delta or any airline that's actually competent. They change their gates at the last second causing me to miss my first flight and damage my luggage. Fuck SW

>Last Thread: >>2679921

>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: Hang around a ride entrance, wait for some hot girls to get in line, then get in right behind them. Enjoy your long wait together.

What footwear do you recommend for spending a whole year in Thailand? My adventure sandals recently broke after four years of rugged, daily use. I would just buy another pair but I'm worried that:

A) My feet will be exposed to abrasions (or worse) and tropical bacteria. I heard the streets can be pretty dangerous, exposed rebar and such
B) It will ruin my swag. I can rock adventure sandals where I currently live because it's an outdoorsy tourist town in the desert, everyone is rocking sandals. I want to look swaggy and fit in with the Thais, but I refuse to wear n****r-flops

I'm leaning towards closed toes for comfort, but I have no experience in a tropical environment. What footwear would you rock?

Phuket
If I want to go to Thailand for 1-2 months, is it worth going out of my to go to Chiang Mai and for how long should I go?

I'm thinking I'll stay in Bangkok for 1 month and then get a round trip to Phuket for 2 weeks, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the quick turnaround of also trying to fly out to Chiang Mai, on the other hand though a round trip to Chiang Mai is only like $50 so it's more about time than money. Is 1 month in Bangkok too long? It's cheaper to book an Airbnb that way but should I stay in Phuket some time instead? Phuket has beach access while Bangkok doesn't, but I feel like I like cities more than beaches anyway. Is Chiang Mai nice enough to stay for several weeks? Should I just do 2 weeks in Bangkok, 2 weeks in Phuket, 2 weeks in Chiang Mai? I feel like 2 weeks isn't long enough to get used to Bangkok

I don't want to do much more driving than this though, I was hoping for closer to 50 hours and we're pushing 60 right now.

planning to go in February/March and start with New York, then drive down to Mardi Gras and back. Want to take maybe two weeks.

I'm planning to visit DRC. The more I look at it though, the impression I get is that they want me to have an actual booked reason for my visit for the visa application. Normally I like to be pretty free and don't like to book to much in advance, especially since the actual accepted reasons for going all seem to be $100s tours of parks for a couple days, and also I would want to be unrestricted in my movements. Does anyone have any experience travelling in DRC?

I'm planning to visit north and south Kivu and Ituri sort of area and I want to be able to travel around the local villages and stuff. If I book one of these trips to mt. Nyiragongo or whatever, will I be able to do the tour, then be free to travel around in congo for the duration of my visa? And I notice it asks about your accomadation, do I actually need specific places booked in advance, and how important is it? Or can I just book one night somewhere and then after that I'm free. What even are accomadation options like there, from a quick look around I couldn't see much in the way of options for less than £100 a night. Are crappier hotels just not listed on google maps so much there?

And would getting a press card and pretending to be a journalist help here and with tourism in general? Can't quite figure out whether it would give you a diplomatic immunity sort of perk, or whether it would put a target on your back and bar your access to lots of places.

Also even more unrelated but does anyone have experience signing up to charity work there or anywhere else? Was thinking it would help me attend refugee camps and the like and be a good excuse for the visa, and I could really do with it on my CV, but a brief glanse and you seem to have to pay hundreds of pounds for the priveledge of working for free kek.

What is the best hostel option in Berlin for a weekend?
berlin
Exactly as the title says. What is the best hostel to stay in Berlin for a day or two, i.e. what are the places where you wouldnt have to share a room with a brown? I had the misfortune of having to stay in the a&o hostel near the main station and it was an absolute horror, it was six beds and i was the only white there, thankfully my flight was super early in the morning so i only stayed there for like 3 hours or so. I was thinking about the Meininger one near the airport since i am assumming most of the people there would be staying after/before a flight so they would atleast be human enough to be able to afford a plane ticket. I have stayed in the Astel one for a day as well but there arent any private bathrooms there and that is a must for me so that one is out as well. Anyone with experience on the subject willing to give me some kind of a pointer here?

A trip where I don't have to think for a week
breezewood
American here. Really need a change of environment from this place. I used to go on adventures but haven't traveled for years. I'm looking for an easy place to travel from the East Coast. Here are some things that I am looking for:

>pleasant in the summertime
>good local cuisine
>cool history
>walkable (do not want to drive at all)
>any visa needs to be hassle free and quick
>safe
>cheap

I've already done Italy, so I would like to try something new. Please don't be rude; I've been to Siberia, sub-Saharan Africa, etc. I just want a place where I can shut down my brain and become an NPC if possible. Like I just want to leave my hotel every day and walk around and find a place to eat and gawk at historical stuff without being scammed.

Would you rather have a $300K vacation property you basically have to visit and maintain every year, pay taxes on etc but you can maybe rent a bit and sell for a profit one day, or $300K in a dedicated travel account you use to fund a wide variety of trips overseas for ~20 years until it goes to zero?

I'm beginning to get to the stage where I've seen a lot of places now and have some money I could put down on a little place somewhere sunny (Portugal or Greece or Florida or somewhere) in an ex-pat/retiree vacation community - nothing too extravagant like a 2 bed apartment or something cheap to maintain that I could work remotely from in the winters or you can just lock up and leave ~8 months a year - but the idea of going to the same place over and over year after year kind of worries me that I'll get bored of it after like 3-4 times going? The alternative I guess is just to take that money and keep travelling to different places a couple of times a year which is always nice, but you're just spending the whole time and eventually the money will run out leaving you with nothing but memories.

Where is the best place to stay in Bangkok? I booked a place around midtown, nearish to Hua Chiew Hospital, but I can still switch it. The location looks nice because it's sort of halfway between Khaosan Road/Central Bangkok, Siam/Thonglor, Si Lom Road and Chinatown, sort of a central location 30-50 minute walk from all of these locations. The problem is there doesn't seem to be as many train stations around as I thought there would be and the Khaosan area doesn't seem to have any trains nearby at all? Should I get a place nearer to Khaosan or nearer to something else so I can easily go out every night, or is it worth being in a central location so I can easily go to more inland neighborhoods? Are there cool neighborhoods that I'm missing, I really don't know the city at all. Also how expensive are taxis? Google maps is strange, I feel like I can see traintracks on the map but the subway directions and mapping seem weird

Winter in Southern States

I am currently living in Maine and have a remote job. I am looking for a city in the Southern States to spend the winter. I would leave after Christmas and come back to Maine in May. I would like to spend less than $1750 per month on rent. I recently visited Montreal and loved it, so anything with a similar vibe in the South is something I would enjoy. I would prefer a city with a lot going on. I enjoy live music, books stores, and cool places to just walk around. What would you guys recommend?

What are even my options?
death
NEET here, I can't make enough money through the internet to pay for rent and living expenses in my country. I'm 30+ and still live with my aging parents, am balding and have no prior work experience or qualifications besides a vocational college degree in Computer science. What country could I realistically go to where rent and prices are low enough (somewhere below 500USD/month) that I could live on my own? (I should also add that im very frugal, i only eat one meal a day, and don't plan to do anything like eating out or partying, just living). It should be a country where I could stay long term with my qualifications (none) and eventually obtain a permanent residence. So far what I've found was Cambodia, Mexico, Thailand and the Philippines as possible destinations but not sure about the detail. I'm not even sure if its possible for anyone like me with zero qualifications can even do anything like moving to another country. All I really want is to peacefully live in a tiny box with an internet connection and be left alone until I pass away, it's just that its not possible to do that in the country that I'm in because rent and expenses are so ridiculously high im forced to live with elderly parents who are mental. My other option is to do physical labor , develop various health problems while living in a shared house with other workers and be miserable.

What is it with Priority Boarding? They always call groups 1-2 first like they should but then everyone in the other groups randomly lines up behind them in disorganized clusters without knowing if the person in front of them is the last person for either of the first two groups, which means they don’t know if they’re actually getting called next or if there’s more members of group 1-2 that still need to board. Either let it be a free for all (which I prefer) or have strictly maintained order, pick ONE you fucking faggots. Stop making me feel retarded for following the directions and remaining seated until the later groups are called, meanwhile your Group 4 bitch ass just lines up in the back of the Group 2 line and casually strolls onto the plane when they don’t do shit about you clearly having a Group 4 pass.

Rota Vincentina in Portugal

Looking to hike through southern Portugal in October. Has anyone ever done any of this trail? I'm ending in Lagos but I'm undecided if I want to do the interior or coastal section of the north.

I hear the coastal side is absolutely gorgeous, but extremely touristy even in October. I'm also worried the coastal view my get a bit repetitive after all those days of hiking. I know the path on the coast is all sand which isn't great either.

On the other-hand I hear the interior is a little boring, but with some cool forests. My portuguese isn't great and I am nervous about thick Algarvan being spoken up in the hills. Has anyone ever been in the area and know whether it's worth visiting?

sweaty anime girl
I want to go to Thailand for the winter to avoid very cold northern USA weather, it's really inexpensive, cheaper to go to Thailand for 2 months than Miami for 2 weeks, so I figure I might as well go for a long time to avoid practically the whole winter, but I'm worried, is it TOO hot? A lot of people say the weather in Thailand is very uncomfortable so I'm worried I'll get there and get super sweaty any time I leave my hotel for 5 minutes and end up just feeling stuck being there for 2 months. I'm normally a pretty sweaty guy, I've always lived in cold climates, but I went to Japan in the summer and it was 100 and humid and I could still walk around. Even if it is really hot, I still think it would be preferable to the bitter cold back home, so do you have any suggestions to beat the heat or cautionary advice?
