I was recently laid off from a tech company where I had worked for seven years. I’m 32, currently without a job, and have approximately €52,500 in savings. At the moment, I don’t have a clear plan for my next career step.One idea I’m considering is becoming a content creator specifically a travel blogger who focuses on unique, non-mainstream destinations. I’m interested in visiting places that are less commonly explored, such as regions in southern Russia like Chechnya or Vladikavkaz, and potentially other areas that don’t typically attract large numbers of tourists. My thought is that this type of content could attract strong viewership due to its uniqueness. After that, I’d like to move on to other CIS countries.What are your thoughts on this direction?
>>2844809> My thought is that this type of content could attract strong viewership due to its uniquenessi agree. there's never been a guy who lost his job, had no money and decided to blog around russia and other 'supposed' off-track bits of the world. fuck, you're definately on to something.now before you start you might want to get your raping out of the way. also do you know any attractive Czech prostitutes? definately looking forward to watching you.
>>2844809>and the op went mildtroll shit
>>2846769I was so confused as to how the fuck he was that broke as a single guy in his 30s with no wife or kids in tech
>>2846769Europoor salaries are brutal but I know alot of mutts in similar positions in terms of savings at that age (although tbf not in tech).
>>2847161Europoor here. I paid $9000 for my degree and then I moved to the US and make $200k+.
Have any of you cancelled trips to the US because of Orange Man?https://www.weku.org/npr-news/2025-12-01/u-s-ski-resorts-are-bracing-for-a-steep-drop-in-international-travel-due-to-politics

>>2846459It's more because it costs more to ski now than it does to go to Disney.

>>2845278Ramallah is pretty chill.
whats it like to go through ben gurion Airport?
>>2845272I'm going to Jerusalem in a couple of months to visit a friend who lives there. Hopefully going to visit somewhere in West Bank, I was thinking either Hebron or Bethlehem or both.Wish me luck boyos
I wonder what kind of parties and celebrations they have in Bethlehem today?

I use OsmAnd offline map app. It has most trails, but not all.
>>2848057Osmand is based. Make sure you download from FDroid to get the free premium version.
it's kinda a racket cuz they are the only game in town (yes I know there's other apps but they are much harder to use)but, in my experience, the actual app works okother than deeply annoying shit like them removing the ability for you to load exact locations of other people's previously taken photos in the app and to load the photos itself so you could see where the best views were and line yourself up with that location in confusing placesthey really need a better system of being able to click on a map and clearly see exactly where the best views are and what they look like, now you basically have to plan that in advance and pre-screen trails and photos to see where you want to go and if it's worth itAND more damagingly, they removed the "community content" feature so now you can search by individual users but there's no way to do a map-view search anymore where you can see all the user-submitted trail recordings in a given area (plus photos) so you could find lesser hidden gem trails beyond the alltrails curated ones
Last day here is tomorrow and I feel like I've been just sitting in room too much, any cool shit to get in before I leave? (already done picrel, highly recommend)
>>2846804Take a day trip to Foix. Extremely underrated and cute little historic city without the crowds of Carcassonne.
>>2846804This place was surprisingly dirty.
>>2846807came here to post this. Or find some nearby hikes, you don't find forest like that other places in europe.

>>2846861Don't forget the omlette du fromage.
What about that place makes it more expensive, even with similar populations?
Sydfag here. AMA. Im not poor so i actually like living here. Been here my whole life, and I'm brown.
>>2845128It's all talk, because Americans have police forces and prison populations larger than any other place on Earth. They absolutely believe in government intervention, but only when it benefits the rich.
>>2844799Perth’s a full-on mish-mash, hey — proper chill but still carryin’ that wonky Perth buzz, like the whole joint’s sittin’ there sussin’ itself out while pretendin’ it’s sweet as.

Anyone ever quit their job to travel for an extended period of time? Should I? Or is it too late for me at 26? My current job is bullshit, low paying, idk what my future is, and I kinda just wanna die. I do get PTO, but it's only enough for like, 2 week long trips a year. It's just not enough time to see all the places I want to. I have massive FOMO and am jealous of all the 20 year olds who traveled the whole world in between college semesters. I want to catch up, but I fear it'll be hard to recover if I do now. What are your thoughts on quitting a job to travel? Also what do you think the budget would be for like, 4-6 months of full time travel be? I have 55K USD in savings
>>2833377i quit my job and backpacked latam until covid ruined my trip. i spent six months and was going full blast like i was hunter biden and i cost only a couple thousand a month. i stayed in $4 & $5 hostels and ate street food or cooked at the hostel. all the day trips to the mayan ruins or volcanoes or surf lessons were like $20. liters of beer were $1 so i got buy on $50 or so a day. i would say do it, i dont regret it one bit. the world is a crazy place outside of the US. you have never seen poverty if you have never left the US.
>>2842884corrogated iron roofs and plastic chairs aren't poverty though, it's the default setting.Africa is the only place with actual poverty, where there's little kids with flies swarming them, sniffing glue, etc. There's no poverty on the Americas, the land is just too rich.
>>2833377I got laid off 1 month into a 6 month Buenos Aires trip and had the best time of my lifeCurrently living with my dad trying to sort my shit out and get another remote jobDecide if you’re willing to trade a year of pain for 6 months of blissPersonally I have no regrets but that’s because I get along great with my dad
I plan to do that in a few months. My job is pissing me off so I plan to quit either way, and I saved a lot of money. Depending on what happens next, if everything is fine I'll get some rest for a few months, go to Australia for a year on a working holiday visa, and then I'll visit Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam, mostly for the food. I'll go back to my parents' place after that and will look for a better job in a better company.
>>2845193Doesn't matter how rich the land is if it's all owned by a handful of ultra-rich families like in Colombia. I saw Africa-tier poverty in the mangrove swamp shanties of Tumaco. The kids were all Afro-Colombian too. Poverty is no chairs BTW. Plastic chairs are Third World luxury.
Had a dream I went to colorado last nightIs this place any fun to go to?
>>2842068ngl as a denverite this is truethey only like you if you're funny or got big titsthe queer people are friendly but usually from out of state
>>2846843not hard if you got a car, some but not all head shops carry it, usually sold as a chocolate
>>2844698Most of the white women are fit, but the mystery meat gorge themselves on EBT food.>>2846843Psilocybin shrooms are still illegal to sell or purchase. People hawk them on Instagram tho.>>2847569Those head shop shrooms aren't psilocybin. They are mystery edibles with who knows what chemicals added to them. The trippy ones are usually laced with 4-AcO-DMT, which is a quasi-legal research chemical with extremely potent effects. However, numerous poisonings and even deaths associated with such edibles has resulted in product recalls. The respectable places won't sell them.>>2843217I recommend visiting the mountains in mid-summer. The afternoon thunderstorms are amazing, and the mornings are so energizingly brisk. Yeah there are plenty of crowds, but if you go far enough from the cities you can be all alone in the wilderness.
>>2842068the front range exists to filter you faggots. clearly it is working as intended
>>2841792definitely avoid this state its too woke
I don't even like travelling. I think it's stressful and I get over-stimulated and anxious and I'm scared there'll be racism or I'll get food poisoning or whatever. I experienced none of this in Greece.I did, however, see the Parthenon without scaffolding. I cried at the Dionysos theatre. Got lost on my way to the Agora, and then ran excitedly hand in hand with my friend squealing as we neared the Hephaistos Temple.I travelled with a group of other classics enthusiasts, my Ancient Greek professor being our academic guide. We visited the incredible site of Delphi, and my heart exploded. We saw a giant rainbow at Mycenae. I ran the whole lenght of the stadium at Olympia (and regretted it). Walked the 999 steps up to the fort at Nafplio. Visited the National Museum; how I sobbed while looking at the grave stelae!Our final day, we visited Cape Sounion and stood at the foot of the hill where the Poseidon Temple was bathing in sunlight, my professor reading out loud a poem by Hjalmar Gullberg - a poem written about that particular temple.I don't know if I like travelling now, or if I just love Greece. Coming home hit me hard, like an actual heartbreak. I cried for days, feeling a hole in my heart like I was yearning for a lost lover. Idk. Luckily, Greece isn't lost and I'm definitely coming back.It's so strange, realizing - it's all real. Having studied ancient literature, Ancient Greek, ancient philosophy and art history... And it's all real, not just textbooks and pictures. Idk man, Greece really changed me. My heart is so full.
>>2837196Are you a woman?
>>2837196lol
>I'm scared there'll be racism Do you know where you are?
>>2837196Greece is awesome. Its like a comfy south american country but they speak something that sounds spanish but isn't and just use olive oil and vegetables instead of sofrito and fruit. Making water bottles legally €0.50 is also an awesome move since its pretty hot there.
>>2842113The whole world is becoming Third World, anon. You might as well come to terms with it and quit your seething.>>2847499Aren't their hotels absurdly overpriced during the warmer months?
Why do roasties never talk about wanting to travel here?
i'm guessing i'm the only one here who's actually been there?spent 4 days there just because i wanted to try it. had a great time. just this morning i was actually googling motorbike rentals in BD to see if that would be viable. would absolutely go back some day.Pretty much what you'd expect in terms of the dirt and the noise. Everyone was extremely friendly. No hustle except for one guy, who I ended up hiring to take me to cool places. paid him like $30 for a full day of his time.
>>2840362>good parts of India
>>2844899Dang a real a Le TravellerHow does it compare to India?
>>2845622what makes you think I'd travel to a shithole like India
>>2844902Picrel is India BTW>b-but it's not the real IndiaNext time you're in Mumbai, hop on a train to Neral and then to Matheran and see it for yourself. It'll cost you about two bucks and take all damn day, even though Matheran is only 42 km from Mumbai airport as the crow flies.>>2844899Bangladesh is probably friendlier than India. Muslims have a strong hospitality culture toward outsiders, whereas many Indians have a deep-seated resentment of English-speaking white people. To them we are all British colonizers or some shit like that.
Will I get robbed/raped/organ harvested?
nosome kids might throw rocks at you though
My sister lives on Umnak. What else is there to do here besides hike. DESU I'm afraid of bears and natives:https://youtu.be/L3BiQuZfUQY?si=xUv2R4ZWRTLxvEIECan I island hop to Dutch Harbor easily? IDK if I want to spend a month on Umnak. She said she'd be willing to go to Unalaska with me but she doesn't want to go to Dutch Harbor becasue she hates the fishermen there.
>>2845433Is Yukon actually poor? I've no idea what happens there.
>>2845433It really is sad that Russia does not care about its own land. They just do not take care of it.>>2845444Canada is too busy importing indians and taxing to death their citizens to care about their backwoods part
>what is there to do in Aleutian islandsDie.
>>2845432start at king salmon and checkout Katmai National Park / Brooks Bridge. From there you can slowly meander your way down to places like Ketchikan n shit. I hope you dont mind spending a billion dollars on bush planes tho
>>2845432I know cost of living for food is high and it might eventually be depressing, but this entire picture gives me ultra-high comfy vibes.If I could, I would stop everything and live here. Some of you don't know how good you have it.
Is China as good as all the vloggers make it out to be? It seems in the past 3 years there's been an influx in people shilling for China and it has be interested.
>>2847310bald was forth coming that the ccp paid him
>>2847311Where?
>>2847311I would not be surprised if they paid him to do that hit job on India. How else could he have betrayed India like that? After years of living there, learning the language, even siring half a dozen biracial children.
>>2846971everything is very cheap, and is safe not like some poor shit holes, so it's good place to visit for people from 1st world countries.

I'm visiting The Netherlands for the second time, looking to explore more of the country outside of Amsterdam. Already got Haarlem, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Delft in mind, but are there any other places worth visiting for a day trip? I'm split between staying in The Hague or Rotterdam, idk which one is more interesting desu.Got 8 nights total!
>>2845080The best 3 meals I ate in the Netherlands was Argentinian, Japanese and Korean. We loved the fried fish we got in Haarlem, but then we all got violently sick and had explosive diarrhea.
Don't stand in the bike lanes. Unless you're trying to troll the locals. Then by all means, stand your fucking ground.

Let me tell you how to live for free. Find ''uitzendbureau'', apply for a random job and tell them you need a place to stay.Go to said job couple days and get ''sick'', stay sick as long as possible without getting fired. Apply for the next one already/ There are infinite ''uitzenbureau''s in netherlands. literally free hotel
>>2847297break something at work, do something fucked up for fun for maximum entertainment and trollery fuck with your roommates stuff (you will have other people in the house youre staying), make house into pure uninhabitable shithole before leaving but nothing illegal, just very smelly and dirty
