Lines waiting to reach the summit of Mount Everest are causing serious safety concerns.
Eleven people died in this year's climbing season on Everest — and images posted to social media of huge line to reach the summit shocked many people. But while hundreds of people now reach the summit annually, many more just trek to Base Camp — leaving several tons of garbage and human waste behind. In sum: The world's highest mountain is being desecrated.
The climax of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was filmed in Petra, Jordan. While it certainly is an impressive sight that can conjure all kinds of treasure-hunting fantasies, a lot of other people seem to have the same idea — crowds can be pushy, merchants even pushier (not to mention price gouges), and overall it can feel like anything but an escape from everyday life.
Real-life Dubrovnik is struggling against the horde of smartphone and selfie-stick-wielding tourists.
As ever-increasing numbers of celebrities, the ultra-wealthy, and even ordinary folks attend Burning Man each year in the Nevada desert, there's concern the event could be losing its way.
More people want to experience Berlin to the fullest. Rising rents and gentrification are also killing the vibe — plus, it's hard to make money from a club.
But all those fancy overwater bungalows in the Maldives are filled with tourists, not local people. The Independent reports that environmental impact is a concern, for one. And then there's the issue of climate change and rising sea levels — many of the nation's islands could be underwater before this century ends, according to The Telegraph. https://www.insider.com/places-ruined-by-tourists-over-the-past-decade-2019-12#berlin-is-poor-but-sexy-and-also-gentrifying-15No titleWhat makes you think you're better than an ordinary tourist?Incel HelpCan we make a thread where we show how easy it is to the incels who cannot understand.

https://youtu.be/vfqfNUnhRVcRecommendations for travel?I know I'm going to sound like a spoiled faggot but I'm literally tired of Earth. I've been everywhere worth going, done everything worth doing, and eaten everything worth eating. I know Michelin stars are for fags but I have over 100 under my belt.
I'm 35 years old and through a combination of inheritance, investing, cryptocurrency, and a decent salaried job out of college I was able to "retire" at 30. I still work but it's freelance, and the majority of my income comes from rental properties.
I've done both luxurious and decedent traveling filled with boozing and partying, as well as solo backpacking while abstaining from any substances to focus on connecting with nature and my inner self, and everything in-between.
Because of the internet, everything is boring now because the world has been connected. I can do enormous amounts of research on any place before I go, and even if I go somewhere doing almost no research, people and food are basically the same everywhere.
All people behave in the same way (except maybe blacks, I hated most parts of Africa and think it should be wiped off the planet as it does nothing but breed poverty, violence, and disease), and no food surprises me anymore. Between living on a farm in Mongolia to molecular gastronomy in Paris, I've eaten it all.
What is there to do? I can't go to the moon, or mars, and probably wouldn't want to anyways. Am I living in some kind of hell? I've explored so much that I'm permanently bored now. Traveling used to make me so happy but now I'm just like "meh" to everything.
also I'm not depressed or anything, I find immense joy in my hobbies, this is simply about traveling.

Interested in art, nature, literature, historyIs Korea a slightly more soulless version of Japan or is it just the Japanophilia affecting me?I'm trying to start an argument focusing on the positives of both sides rather than boring shitting on each other. Some reasons I can think of for my bias towards Japan are being conversational in Japanese, having friends there, feel comfortable there now, seeing a bit more of the culture (although via highly fictionalized lens of manga, not even live-action TV). Not a huge history or temple dude so besides those Korea just seems like Japan with for an undescribable reason, slightly less flavor. Still a great country tho and great to have general fun with.

I know a bit of Spanish and my only time out of the country was to northern México for a few months. I was surprised how almost no one there spoke any English. I got on alright but it was difficult.

At the time I had no clue what he meant but I figured it out.

Managed to save some more money and will be back on the road again very soon thus have thought I should restart them. Met a couple of cool people in 2018, hopefully will meet some more in 2020.
This thread is to help you with meeting other /trv/ users while travelling overseas, lots of us travel solo and sometimes it's nice to hang out with either a local for a few hours, meet up with someone wanting to do a similar activity to you (Hiking, motorbike touring, roadtrip, partying ect) or just have a bunch of people you can go out with on a Saturday night. The choice is yours.
Alternatively, if your not travelling at the moment but still want to meet some new people you could always offer to be a guide around your own city or simply be down for having a beer at a local bar, its up to you.
To make sure your meeting up with the right people (IE: So a backpacker doesn't meet up with a sex tourist, or vice versa) best to include some details such as...

At some point I promised to do a trip report of my trip to Afghanistan's Wakhan corridor and well, here it is after months of postponing. I first heard about the Wakhan through some overlanding/motorcycle website over a decade ago, and it has been nagging in the back of my head ever since, often more as a dormant idea but never entirely forgotten. The idea to visit the Wakhan again resurfaced to finally take concrete shape when a fellow countryman of mine released the movie 'Land of the Enlightened' (which I recommend), and I'd been looking for people to go with after I first saw it. Not an easy job: I have a good number of friends who were interested, but they either were working abroad, had injuries that prevented walking, didn't have money because they just purchased a house or whatever.
In the end, I ended up teaming up with a random German dude who posted in the comment section of some trip report. You may even be able to find that with some sleuthing. So without further ado, here's an Afghanistan thread.

I have traveled quite a lot the last years and have developed a taste for quality. This quality is usually found in the present moment meeting other present human beings (not boomers or zoomers or coomers or whatever). You know nothing of eachother but still there is an attraction.
Places I've liked around the Mediterranean:
Lisbon, Portugal. Worked in a hostel there before it got flooded with boomers. The bars, viewpoints and the authentic people really made it one the best times in my life.
Granada, Spain. Hippies and fresh mountain air. Nice hikes close to the city.
Athens and Antiparos, Greece. Having coffee in Exarcheia. Nomading on the Greek Islands.
Israel. Some seriously militant babes over there.
Northern africa has some gems. Enter the magic. Great food.

For any and all of your one-off questions that pertain to travel.
If your question is specific to a popular destination (eg. Thailand, Japan, Germany, Italy, etc.), consider asking it in a relevant thread/general, if such a thread is currently active. And even then, do whatever you want, I'm not your mom.
If your question is administrative in nature (eg. visas, passports, customs/immigration, airport/airline policies, etc.), be as specific as possible. Such information may include, but is not limited to your nationality, where you're going, any layover points, etc. These details do get missed quite often, and they sometimes can make a difference.

From my understanding this is only done if you are in transit to another location? Would it be possible to buy a 1 way to Beijing and then book another one way out of Beijing 4 days later?

I went to china But it has been almost 10 years, and when I went visa free wasn't even an option, I want to make sure its possible before I expend the energy getting there.Where in the world is the best place to find freethinking creative peopleWhat is the destination where you could find most chill creative people like hippies/writers/musicians/painters/freethinkers?
