>>2911421Not bad. Was she good?
>>2911398That's definitely not the case. You dorkposters cherrypick a small number of mediocre looking white expats and gleefully claim that everyone in SEA os as broke and ugly as they are. This is far from the case.>>2911396Unlike you, I observe and compare general behavioral trends. And I can see a populace that remains dutiful to business demands while growing increasingly old, weary and incurious. New customers still get warm welcomes at many establishments, but it's all out of duty, not out of desire for friendship. Next time you visit, they will be less effusive.

>>2911236>ESL coping by being excessively verbose
>>2911429Yes. it’s very enjoyable to give the right kind of mature woman a passionate, sensual performance as the young stud. I fucked a beach chair attendant and when I initially started flirting with her she thought I was joking and the change in her demeanor when I started getting very assertive was hot I’m sure it’s their version of us encountering a 19 year old eager to validate her own prowess by giving you pornstar level sex
What countries are worth travelling to during September & October for a few weeks?
>>2910785Fall is a wonderful time to visit the USA. It's often warm, dry and sunny. Main downside is you won't see many girls showing skin like you do in early summer. Beaches will be sleepy, but the climate will be the best of any time of year (barring tropical storms).Personally I chose to visit Costa Rica, but this is their rainy season, so things will be green and wet. USA just doesn't offer enough options for bus/train travel to small towns with affordable tourist lodging.
>>2910797Its now beheading season in Spain
>>2910785>USAkys
>>2910777Around that time, the trees in the mountainous areas of Beijing begin to change color, making it the perfect time to visit the Great Wall and the Palace Museum.
>>2910777Appalachia, without a doubt.
Was thinking of going to Poland next summer for 2 weeks to retvrn to my roots. I need itinerary ideas. I've already been to Krakow and Gdansk, but I need at least 2 days in Gdansk because I feel obligated to visit family there. Other than that, what are the best places to visit + routes to take? I'm particularly interested in Warsaw and Wrocław but open to anywhere else including day trips. I'm fluent in the language btw. Main goals are just to experience cool things and maybe, just maybe, find a wife.Also general Poland thread
you have answered your question my guy. If you have not yet, visit Malbork on the way to Warsaw. Easy 4-5 days in Warsaw or even a full week with some day trips like Chopins hometown etc. I think its a very underrated city. From there take the train Wroclaw is also a solid 4 day city, or more if you really want to see it all and take it slow / find all the gnomes. From there do a couple days in Poznan as you return to Gdansk (assuming you fly home from there)
>>2911397I usually like to fly into one city and leave through another. Will probably start in Warsaw and end in Gdansk or vice versa. Been to Malbork. The only thing left I really want to do in Gdansk region is the Solidarnosc museum. I also really want to see the dobranocek museum in Rseszow, but it seems a bit far from Warsaw for a day trip. Any other day trip recs for Warsaw and Wroclaw? Adršpach-Teplice looks cool
>>2911345>I'm particularly interested in WarsawJust stay home. Wherever you are, it's better, trust me. Pozdrawiam
>>2911422Wrong. OP speaks Polish, meaning that he will be much more able to engage with people while also maintaining the novelty of being from America. It shouldn't be hard for him to find a (young female) traveling companion. Childless single Polish women are all deeply dissatisfied and longing for some kind of romantic escape from their daily drudgery, something that the local men are not offering with their endless drinking and griping.
>>2911345If you're in Gdańsk try also a day trip to Toruń or if you're more into small towns then to Pelplin/Chełmno or even Golub-Dobrzyń. These are small historical towns with plenty of both Polish and Teutonic heritage. And Toruń is also fun in the evenings because it's a university city.
I am headed to Bali soon. How do I meet the European love of my life?
>>2911370Mentally ill (read as intentionally evil) group spamming the website with rage bait for like 10+ years. See >>2908938Get off the internet rebeca. You are dead inside and don't even know it. Doesn't matter if this is your job. Better to be human than dead.
Hang out in Ubud. Go to some sort of yoga place and chat up some girls about spirituality and teas. Their panties will soon drop. You can then enjoy a nice acai bowl on the beach in Sanur in the morning together to cement your new found love.
>>2911338Sir, this is clearly an Israeli woman.
>>2911393Damn didn't even notice since my eyes were down there. It's definitely a yenta that got rhino and implants. Is there no end to their perfidy?
>>2911358Nothing wrong with being a whore tho?
I'm going to stay with some friends in NYC soon. Should be there for at least a week. I have never been to the USA before. Any recommendations?Generally when travelling I like to keep things spontaneous. See historic places, or wander about and enjoy bars, perhaps get some conversations with strangers.I also want to avoid basketball people in their native habitat, is it true that the subway is generally not safe?
>>2910897I've lived in New York for 15 years. I've been blackout drunk in most parts of Manhattan and West/Downtown Brooklyn and have never felt unsafe. The subway is dirty and has regular delays, but it runs 24 hours and is the fastest way to get around. Occasionally you'll encounter crazies or bums, but just stare straight ahead or switch train cars at the next stop. There are plenty of great music venues and comedy clubs that aren't super expensive (besides drinks). Central Park is great. I used to go and read at Cleopatra's Needle just about every week. The Met, the MoMA, Nautral History Museum, and Whitney are all worth going to. The Staten Island ferry is free and the cable car to Roosevelt Island is $3 - both give you great views of the city. Skip Manhattan Chinatown and go to Flushing's Main St. and eat somewhere with no whites - it's basically China. Avoid the dollar spots and get a good slice of pizza somewhere in Brooklyn. Most good bars stay open until 4 AM so stay out late and get a sandwich while walking back. Most "New Yorkers" you'll encounter aren't actually from there, so most people are generally friendly. It's the city government workers that are natives and generally assholes.
>>2910905he'll be fine. nyc maintains a very delicate balance of diversity, like a beautiful lily pad atop a whirlpool of excrement and urine.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBYsQE4Pxb4&ra=m
>>2910897Stop being afraid of niggers. But don't trust them either if they approach you. Get yer hackles up like you're ready for a fight if a young buck starts honing in on you. Spoiler: they won't approach you unless they are pathetic broke ass beggars. USA is their natural habitat thanks to muh slAVerY. Don't forget, the revolution happened to escape British regulation of slavery, and the slave trade was only b& in 1816 to protect the market value of the existing slaves. Truth is, most Americans only care about getting richer, and with nobody carrying cash anymore, you're not gonna get richer by mugging or pickpocketing, so everyone will ignore you.>>2910905I have been two months traveling the US and have not tipped or donated a single dollar.
>>2910909Thats been happening to international travelers. Especially people critical of israel
>>2911459No its not

Try treating it like an adventure in some fantasy game. If you are in a foreign country even the simplest things can become side quests.
Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread>also known as /sqt/ (Stupid Questions 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: >>2836940New thread will be made when this one can no longer be bumped AND it reaches Page 11.
>>2895486i dont think so
I'm going to have a layover in Santiago de Chile with some time to look around. How long should make my layover? 1, 2, or 3 days (max)?
>>2909574Depending on what you're interested in & the timing of your flights, 2 nights is enough.Honestly there's nothing much to see in Santiago, but the views from Cerro San Cristobal and Sky Costanera are kino. Skim through Plaza de Armas & the surrounding areas if you could - that place is shady as fuck and felt more dangerous than Sao Paulo. Highly recommend stay in Providencia. You can also add a daytrip to Valparaiso, although it's quite shady and dirty.
Are airport lounges good anymore? The way they've been presented to me, they seem like a quiet, relaxing place to wait for your flight, instead of waiting on a bench by the gate with the plebs.But the thing is, I am one of these plebs. Only difference is that I now make enough money where I qualify for additional privileges, free lounge access being one of them. If a random loser like me can access lounges, wouldn't they already be full of people like me?
>>2911447if you have a credit card with access you get get free food and drinks that being said a bunch of other have cards too so its usually crowded
Have you ever made any legit friends while travelling?
>>2905737those beans look like they have a frog in it or something
>>2906966>When you go to get drunk with some random you met earlier that day who's also travelling and by the end of the night when you're drunk as fuck, you're declaring each other as best friends, then you never speak to each other again.
If I had legit friends, I wouldn't be on 4chan.

Is the classic American road trip dead? It sure seems like interstates take you through a homogenized version of the US.
>>2908360I'm now convinced Vermont is legally accessible American Canada.
>>2905233McDonald's, Chick fil-a, waffle house, etc. and truck stops are far more representative of country culture than some hipster local woman owned (TM) mom and pop establishment
>>2908353This might be confusing to someone with no car but if you are driving 600 miles you dont want to stop every 45 minutes
>>2908360replace Exxon with Esso, leave the McDicks, add a Tim Horton's and Interstate signs with Trans Canada leaf.

Post your travel maps in this thread. Pic related is the official /trv/ Real Traveler's map™, edition 4.0.5. I am remaking this general after almost a year of it being dead, so this is not the usual OP.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 4.0.5, updated for September 2025. Thanks to an Anon in previous threads, it is now easier than ever to fill in the map. You can use the website splored.com to easily color in entire countries with a single click. At the time of making this thread, it uses the old 4.0.4 template, so you still need to update it to 4.0.5 with the simplified template, but hopefully it will be updated.

Sup sup guys, I'm looking forward to a trip to Spain and Portugal. I will be in there for 22 days and my budget is about 4k, what are the essentials I gotta experience? I will enter through Madrid and hopefully would like to see some of the good stuff in Spain and then move to Lisboa and Oporto before going back to Madrid and then home. I speak english and spanish and my interests are food, architecture, nature and art. Thoughts? Thanks.
Try a Francesinha. Kind of gross but try it anyway
>>2911437>Is a Portuguese sandwich, originally from Porto, made with layers of toasted bread and assorted hot meats such as roast, steak, wet-cured ham, linguiça, or chipolata, over which sliced cheese is melted by the ladling of a near-boiling tomato-and-beer sauce called molho de francesinhaIt sounds delicious, ngl.
Is Moscow really as great of a city as Russians claim it is? Better than any European city? I am talking purely travel, no politics please.
>>2889848>>2890084see picrelated>>2890082>I've never met a single Russian person that I've ever liked. They're humorless, grumpy and boring.Anyone with any sense fled Russia before it turned back into a gulag state.I've had several coworkers over the years who moved to the U.S. from Russia. Most were kind and decent (two of the four of these were also Jewish), one was a rather obnoxious Jew who would have been considered a dick whether he was Russian or not.
>>2910655>two of the four of these were also Jewish), one was a rather obnoxious JewYou can take them all, thanks
>>2890082If you go as a retard tourist, this might be true. Their food makes no sense, and you need someone to initiate you, but it is a great cuisine. Yes, they will bully you if you're a pussy and only speak English (you retard). But if you speak even just a few words of Russian, and make eye contact with people, bizarrely, Russians will actually bring you into their apartments and feed you. The border guard who grilled me for two hours last time I went (I went on a train from Kazakhstan into Novosibirsk) spent the second hour just chatting with me, we shared instagrams, etc. All this goes double in places like Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan, where they still speak Russian. On a related note,>>2890084I hiked and hitchhiked the Caucasus mountains for two weeks (way, way out in villages) and I slept more of those nights in someone's house than I did in my tent. Those may be the most beautiful people I've ever come across, although extremely poor. But they fed me things like wild ram soup, watermelon, something called Osetian pie. >>2890777this is wise though, I have been to the outskirts of cities like Barnaul and there sure are a lot of drunk gopniks. Obviously helps to have a local with you. The good news is, so long as these kinds of stereotypes predominate, Russia remains a pristine cultural experience
Moscow is the greatest city on earth
>>2890782>safe and clean and free of head chopper diversity>Russia is the now and future
Any time I stay at a hotel that provides nice amenity razors, I always shave my shaft, balls, and pubes in the shower. This isn’t out of malice but convenience, that shit is just annoying to do at home.This has been my confession.
>>2909877But you can vacuum them.
>>2909877unc how old are you? even then you can work around it.
>>2909877God invented this little thing called OneBlade for shaving your balls without risking any cuts
