I'm cold. Does anyone wanna drive down to Florida with me? You pay for your own food, half of the airbnb, half the gas, and do half the driving. I'm in the mid atlantic.
>>2859054Just avoid Miami, it's full of gusanos
>>2859054I did that once with my sister. Riding along to Florida and splitting expenses. It sucked. We stayed in awful middle-of-nowhere properties to save money. Nothing at all worth walking to in the vicinity, only souless Amerimutt highway interchange & commercial buildings. Eventually I left her behind in Miami. Budget hostels in Miami were some of the shittest slum living I've done anywhere, and I've stayed in some real Third World places. That March sunshine felt awful good, however. Learning to stay passive and quiet and cucked in the presence of insolent American nonwhites was a very difficult lesson. When you're on foot and living in shared housing in the ghetto, you don't have any freedom at all.
>>2859068I think I'd just go to Naples and avoid the east side entirely.
>>2859068>Budget hostels in Miami were some of the shittest slum livingin what ways?

Looking to Travel Africa in the spring. Ive been everywhere continent wise except for Africa. Ive narrowed down my choices too:KenyaUgandaRwandaSenegalTanzania Safety and decent infrastructure are my biggest concerns. I'm white so I'll know I'll stick out (which will be a plus in some cases). Want to explore as much as possible, especially with a local woman so I don't get tourist taxed on every little thing. Ive searched a lot of info using 4plebs, Kenya seems to be hit or miss but looks like the most recommended. Looking at coombasa rather than Nariobi. Rwanda looks very interesting considering the history. Senegal I've heard is expensive. Uganda might be the dark horse here and not a clue about Tanzania. Any tips or experiences is much appreciated! I also only speak English, no French.
>>2859283You forgot that it's horribly humid too.
>>2859286Both Africa and South/Southeast Asia have a predominantly wet-dry climate, with coastal humidity staying high except during outflow wind events, and interior humidity varying hugely from arid to muggy over the course of the year. Equatorial regions excepted, they are humid and rainy year round.Madagascar anon claimed to have gone adventuring all across the country for barely over 1000 euros a month. Evidently Africa can be done for cheap, but you're gonna have to go native. No surprise there. But unlike India, which has pretty strict boundaries of social conduct all things considered, sub-Saharan Africa seems a free for all where the boldest Africans are the alpha males, and you are the white intruder in your teritory who must hand over money to assuage hostility and be welcomed as a friend. Not attacking and robbing you is considered a "service" that should be paid for, and never in trifling amounts like 60 cents either. Ten dollars or more, now we're cool.
>>2859303Who even mentioned india? Do you know how many indians are in africa, trying to escape their overpopulated shithole?
>>2857515Mozambique because east Africa seems cool but don't take my opinion seriously because I don't know.
>>2859047are they as bad as the horse flies out west? those fuckers cut you open and lick your blood
How is Curacao? Thinking of going for our honeymoon. We want to rent a car and explore the island. Best things to do?
I asked to Gemini, i don't know anything about CuraçaoCuraçao is a premier honeymoon destination. Since you plan to rent a car, you’re approaching the island the right way—Curaçao’s true magic is scattered across its hidden coves and colorful districts rather than confined to hotel grounds.The ExperienceThe island is famous for its capital, Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walking across the Queen Emma Bridge (a floating pontoon bridge) and exploring the pastel-colored streets of Punda and Pietermaai feels like a romantic European getaway. For dinner, the Pietermaai District offers a trendy, bohemian vibe with high-end oceanfront dining.The Road Trip (Westpunt)With your car, head "West" to Westpunt. Unlike the manicured beaches of Aruba, Curaçao features limestone cliffs and intimate coves.Grote Knip: Stunning, turquoise waters perfect for photos.Playa Lagun: A narrow canyon-like bay where you can snorkel with sea turtles for free.Cas Abao: Offers a mix of wild beauty and amenities (loungers/bar).Comment too long.

Which city/country in Asia is the best for a failson who wants an easy TEFL job with ample free time and little pressure/responsibilities?Looking at eikaiwas/hagwons/buxibans/etc in Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu because I've heard these jobs are more flexible, have less office hours and later starts etc. So far it looks like my best bet for easy job with few working hours as possible is Taipei, maybe Bangkok, or one of the mainland Chinese cities, apparently Hong Kong actually pays their English teachers relatively high too?
>>2858695I met a guy in Vietnam who also had a DUI misdemeanor and was hired by a language center. It's definitely possible, only places like Japan, Korea, and maybe China have hard-ons for this kind of thing. I heard Taiwan doesn't care as long as isn't kiddie shit lol. The only issue is that you will have to make sure you have a legal place to stay first, I don't think you can do this from a hotel. You'll have to find a legit place to rent and sign a contract and have the landlord document it with the police before you can do a local background check. So you'll have to budget for that and also the possibility of moving if you find a job farther away. Also, you might be able to just get a state background check at a police department before you leave if it has a chance to show a clean record, since the FBI checks just refuse to remove even expunged charges.
>>2859056Thank you anon. Great info. I have a competitive resume. I don't think it should be a problem at all. I mean, to me these experiences build character in my opinion. I think if you have not been arrested at least once in your life you have lived a very boring life. I just want to be the best person I can be for my students in Vietnam. The country is affordable, the people kind. I would give a lot to the local community. I want to teach English in Saigon, live in that city for a few years, maybe even permanently.
>>2859087Not just people with criminal records, but I met plenty of people in Vietnam restarting their lives there and living pretty well. Not everyone is just trying to fuck teenagers and huff balloons. If going halfway across the world is the solution to become the best version of yourself, then so be it. The loser back home mindset is just crabs in a bucket shit. People are also going to complain about stagnating wages and whatever whining entitled expats get up to, but I still lived so much more comfortably in Saigon than I ever did living paycheck to paycheck back home, and it definitely helped my self-image when I returned. There is plenty of opportunity in Vietnam, I'm in a somewhat better position nowadays but I still think of just cashing in my chips at home and running back there for good. [spoiler]Though I would probably try living in Hanoi this time around.[/spoiler] Best of luck to you, anon.
>>2858695>>2859087Hope your Vietnam dream works out for you brother>>2859056>>2859101I've also heard Vietnam is good for wage/low working hours ratio right? How would you compare HCMC and Hanoi? From what I can make out HCMC has more youth fashion/design/music/raves but Hanoi is where the highbrow fine arts/culture stuff is
>>2859154I only have experience working in Saigon, but I have heard that Hanoi pays a little better because there are less foreigners than Saigon and maybe Da Nang. There are two jobs you could do at the entry-level, afterschool language centers and public schools. I worked at a center and I worked half shifts on weekdays in the evening and full-time shifts on the weekends. Even during the full-time shifts, you're only teaching for a chunk of it and are just expected to stay there to desk warming and do class prep for the rest of the shift. You get a "weekend" but it will be during the week like Monday and Tuesday off and back to work Wednesday. Still though it was pretty chill and I didn't really have to do any office time on weekdays and just did class prep during the weekend shift or at home before going in. Public schools obviously have you working a normal schedule like 8-4 M-F with weekends off, but I don't have any experience with them other than they probably pay more and make it easier to get benefits like insurance whereas language centers will try to bullshit you by offering 11 and a half month contracts and such, be careful with that.
This place sucked ass. I went to Epic Universe about a month or two after it opened last year and half the rides were broken down. Same thing with the regular Universe Studios park. Caught covid while I was there and flew back feeling like shit. As much as I hate giving my money to the Mouse, I doubt half of their rides would be broken down.
>>2856144For those of you who are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy. At the end of a block zone is a method to stop a train in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents roller coaster trains from colliding with one another.
>>2856145Thanks ElToroRyan
>>2856117So I shouldn't go to Bing Bing Wahooland?
I went there over during xmas and frankly the ride to rider ratio is WAY off. most rides took like over an hour on average to get on with the ministry of magic one taking over 6 hours! They need to at least double the rides. I will say that the roller coaster that the one dude died on was extremely good and it hits my top ten coasters list. A lot of the parks are really well themed though i will give them that.
>>2856117There is nothing to do. It’s normally so crowded it could take you all day to ride all 7 rides but if the park was ever empty you could be done with it in 2 hours. I’m also getting tired of these loud soundtracks, having fire shot at you, having water shot at you, etc. and the talking mannequin robots. The only good ride is the coaster that killed that crippled guy.
Hey /trv/, I’m looking to take February off to ride Amtrak around parts of the U.S. I’ll be taking these routes for sure: >Empire Builder>Coast Starlight>California Zephyr. Which others are worth considering?
>>2855253if you have to ask, you don't need to know
>>2844463I'm not one to shit on Amtrak but the last time I took a long trip on there, there was a very ghetto black dude in the row behind me talking on the phone to various people for literally hours, in varying levels of direct vs coded language. Among the highlights were that his friend/neighbor had murdered someone a few days previously because that neighbor's girlfriend had started a fight with the victim, that he was stealing product from his warehouse job, and that the reason he was on Amtrak in the first place was because he was transporting an undetermined amount of crystal meth to make some extra money/as a favor for someone. Genuinely the most bizarrely self-incriminating set of conversations I've ever overheard.
>>2855446fucking faggot. imagine being this cryptic on an obsolete thai porn website. >oooh the goooorgessssss
Imagine visiting the USA by train. Lmao
>>2855253You can't reach gorges by train. Not even in fucking japan.
So I took the railpass pill on an impulseI get 2 weeks off work (14 days) to use my 10 stopsIdeally I wouldn't spend more than 5 or 6 hours on the train at a time since I want to spend my time seeing shit, not just sitting on the train for the whole timeI'm departing from New York and presumably returning there as wellGiven those constraints, what's the best trip you can put together?
>>2858278>waiting hours for planes.You are checking yourself into lounges, right?>waiting hours before a trainYou are using locking, and leaving luggage at your hote, right?
>>2858253In general I lean more towards big cities, but I feel like most of the cities in the eastern US are kind of been there done that for me. Like Cleveland is actually cool but it needs exactly one day and then you've done everything. I wouldn't mind checking out some small towns or nature though. I'm open-minded>Do a loop with the Cardinal to Chicago I actually really wanted to do this (Those small West Virginia towns seem really interesting), but because the Cardinal doesn't run every day, it would eat up too much time>>2858278I might stretch that 5-6 hours rule if its an overnight for just the reasons you said. I've only done overnight on coach once and it was fucking miserable, but I also got stuck in the very front seat in the entire car and had that bright light in my face and that door opening and closing every 30 seconds.
>>2858431As I mentioned, Florida might be a good choice to get out of the cold, with multiple trains a day and a string of interesting stops all the way down to Miami. Too bad the Sunset doesn’t go all the way to Jacksonville any more so you can’t do a New Orleans loop with the Crescent.
>>2858625>a string of interesting stops all the way down to MiamiWhat stops do you recommend along that route? This is likely the way I'll end up going
>>2859199I’ve only ridden that route at nighttime without stopping. Charleston and Savannah for historic cities, can’t imagine there much in Jacksonville and too bad St. Augustine isn’t a stop. Anything from West Palm Beach south would be a good stopover.
Where can you go to stay or live that will genuinely let you be alone?Looking at cabins, camping, land plots still is a struggle for they are all too close to others and when that happens you inevitably get surrounded by the burden of the braindead masses who will blast music, smoke weed and cigarettes among other drugs, drink too much and yell at each other, bring their yapping dogs and machinery, and leave trash behind. I sincerely want to get the fuck away from all of this permanently. Where then? Do I have to hide out in the wilderness? I could set up a small hut there. I don't need much just survival. I don't even want electricity and hvac shit, it's a nuisance.
>>285779780% of the population lives east of the Mississippi. It will take a very long time for the west to get crowded. The urban areas are definitely growing though. Lots of immigrants moving in.
>>2857695Wyoming is Siberia level empty
>>2858030How do non-duck dynasty niggas live in Wyoming?
>>2858030Most of it is so barren. Who the hell wants to sit in the middle of a treeless waterless plain and stare at the horizon for days on end? Fuck that. There's a good reason why all that space is empty.
Just go to Alaska although its easier to get yourself killed if you don't know what you are doing.
what state of india should i visit as an american with a high tolerance for third world conditions that loves nature? so far i'm thinking of himachal pradesh or somewhere in the 7 sisters but i'd love to hear an indian's (or someone who has been there) opinion on the matter.
>>2853879As a non-normie traveler, India is gradually cementing its place as the best country I've explored so far. If you're a normie faggot who just wants to be in a herd of mindless pleasure chasers, bug off to Phuket or Pattaya or some other hedonist containment zone. Visiting India isn't for you.>>2853886Bihar has the lowest GDP per capita, but IDK if that automatically means there is more rubbish lying around in Bihar than in other states. If anything, the lack of economic development could mean less construction rubble, vacant waste lots, abandoned buildings and other detritus of progress that is so prevalent in the more prosperous states. Hotel rooms are likely to be dirty and rundown due to the lack of new construction, however. Crime stats don't show Bihar as a standout for violent crime either. Maharashtra had a robbery rate 2.5x higher than Bihar in 2023. Bihar's rape rate is also lower than the national average, likely due to an extremely conservative culture that ensures women don't place themselves in social situations where rape is likely to occur.
>>2854294How can you fuck then idiot?
>>2838175>How to get an Indian gf that is extremely hairy and doesn't shave or wax anything? I'm talking ridiculously hairy legs, forearms, armpits, happy trail, nipples, the works, so I'm thinking not a Westernized whore, it would have to be a village girl? Preferably fat but skinny is fine. I thought of trying to get help from the local "guides" when I get there, but I really want someone to travel with through India and then possibly import with me into the EU if we hit it off, I feel like they would just bring me a whore. Any advice? Would be nice if I could get one while I'm still here, so online first.Still need this.
>>2838318>>2850032these anons have the best answer to the original question. the answer is keralait is the most developed state in most regards and most of the people are at least half civilisedhire a house boat and go floating around the backwaters
>>2859215How to live on a houseboat and retire there? How much money do I have to have?
Anyone else here not understand the obsession some people have with travelling to every country in the world or even to over 100 countries or whatever? I'm one of those people that's always wanted to travel but even if I add up all the countries I have any desire to see I only get to like 45 or so.
>>2858829i did a random, last minute trip to Cairo to see the pyramids over the new year break. it was amazing.
>>2857122yeah, your'e not as deep as you think. I went to Bali, and I have no idea why i did. I also went to Dubai for a night for no other purpose than to tick a box, so i dont have to go there again. I do whatever tf i want. got a problem, cunt?

>>2858972>Australianlol yeah I do have a fucking problem with you, stick to your Kuta Beach containment zone
>>2857646>Samarkhand and Bukhara exist nowadays soley for touristsOh come on, they're big ass cities. I agree there's fuck all to do outside of seeing the copypaste Persian architecture but they're not just tourist traps.
I have a lot of time free but don't want to blow my money. I'm torn between a few months in SE Asia hostel hopping or doing an open-ended North American road trip sleeping in my car/camping. I have done a lot of road trips but none where I try to go indefinitely without any hotels. I love long drives, I love the outdoors, I love discovering small towns, and exploring cities. I've always been a huge lover of road trips.I've never been to SE Asia. I've travelled internationally a ton just never got there. The adventure of SE Asia and going to 5 new countries would be really cool. But also maybe repetitive after a while. And I'll constantly be surrounded by partying westerners I imagine.
>>2859021There's nothing cool about being a crustpunk. Furthermore, as soon as you interact with another human being, you start to interact with a business model that has broken containment from theme parts and sports stadiums: delivering you as little value for your dollar as possible.
Having a great time in Singapore currently, but that’s only because I’m visiting my wife’s family and staying in an amazing townhouse.
>>2858918The time to road trip in America is long passed.The physical and social infrastructure that made it possible are now crumbling or gone altogether.This includes gas being cheap.
>>2859038is this a post-covid thing?
>>2859038>>2859021>>2858983>>2859019For referencem, I have roadtripped in the US many times. I've been all over the world: south and central America, east asia, Europe, and still one of my favorite trips of all times was a simple 12 days in the Dakotas. or my New Mexico road trip. I'm an American and I go through periods with lots of international travel or just road trips. But with the amount of time I have now this would be my longest and I'd get to see all the stuff I haven't yet seen plus maybe hit some places I have been once or twice and love.SE Asia though would just be an interesting experience as I've never been and know people who go love it.
I'm sick of this country, everything about it, the people, the state of it, the BAMES, the pot holes, the poverty, the White hoodlums and the Indians who've been mass imported who speak nothing but Hindi.I was hoping to move to the US and marry my then American Fiance, that got shot down because of COVID and we split sometime in 2023, I was hoping to get Irish citizenship through my Grandfather only to find out that he's eligible to be put down into the FBR but I'm not.I literally just want to leave this country, if Ireland wasn't worse off housing wise I would have moved there ages ago. I basically want anywhere that is White and not the UK.
>>2853554>White people are finally realizing just how draconian their countries' immigration policies actually are.>Being chuddy has it's consequences
Why would you even post on 4chan for a serious answer? This site is entirely Jews, Indian chat bots, LLMs, and shareblue liberal trannies. You're not going to get a good answer on here because they hate you for being a white european.
>>2852131Practice your American accent and just go there. Being an illegal is not difficult.
>>2858717Is anything I said wrong?Chuds think immigrating into their countries is a piece of cake until they want to do it themselves, then they find out it's not as easy as it looks. This all could have been avoided if they had simply voted to make the process more lenient in the first place.
>>2859035> wot I'm british? commonwealth innitAlways hilarious when talking to other Brits having fleeting thoughts of leaving and they realise it's very fucking hard.

>>2853180I lived in Bhutan for 3 years and I'll tell you it isn't worth visiting unless you get a job and actually live there. It's North Korea tier with the regulations, mandatory tour guides, isolated hotels, etc. You'll be able to get a few really beautiful hikes in, but you won't be able to see the country itself at all. It's also obscenely expensive to go as a tourist. $2k for the visa, $200 per day, $2k-$10k for hotels and food, another few hundred for the mandatory tour guide. The prices have probably changed a bit since I lived there but I know it's still unbelievably expensive. Which is very sad since it's such an amazing place.>>2853181Drukair rocks. They gave me a whole bottle of vodka when I asked for it and just let me drink it all on the 2 hour flight from dehli. I became friends with some of the flight attendants and they would always make sure I had a beer in my hand the whole flight.

>>2857492What is there to do around Lima? I'm flying in/out of there but I don't know if it's worth spending time in Lima aside from the airport.And where's a good place to do wildlife stuff, like jungle treks and birdwatching? Did you do any of that.
>>2858805Nothing really mind blowing. Huaca Pucllana and Pachacamac Ruins I think were the two major historical sites. Larco Museum. Plaza Mayor, Santo Domingo Convent, Basilica and Convent of San Francisco, Lima Basilica and Catedral are all in the same place. Kennedy park and the Bridge of Sighs were my two favorite places to walk around, it looked and felt it I was in Europe.
>>2858805Didn't mean to double post. You'll have to set up a trip to the amazon for a few days, I didn't do it. It felt like a separate trip on its own and there were so many things to see in Peru itself. Most birds I got were the penguins in Paracas
A safe place, friendly people, and their cuisine is top tier. Just a good place all around.
>>2858780if they are there, it's because the national government of whatever shithole you are talking about allows it

They are in every thread, every board, every website. An army of little faggot slant dorkers who will "correct the record" in favor of China.It's so disgusting. Putrid vermin shitting up everything with their bullshit.
