Have you ever been to another country? Where was it and how was it?
>>2648258how is it true when my travel budget is less than the cost of an apartment rental most anywhere in the USA?chances are you're the kind of person dumb enough to sign a lease and then decide you want to see the world
I traveled extensively throughout my 20s and grudgingly came to the realization my home country of America is by far the best country on earth. Always romanticized everywhere else, but no other countries can hold a candle to the USA sadly. I still travel for weekend getaways or 5-7 day trips abroad, won’t do month long stays anymore cuz I just want to get home after a week
>>2649354Did foreign countries when I was younger, and then in my later twenties and thirties started to travel almost exclusively inside the USA. You take it for granted when you grow up here, but the country has so much shit to see. Beautiful beaches, mountains, well maintained and not-litter-filled national parks, historic cities, etc. I suppose the only thing you really can't find here are Asian metropolises with their awesome malls, but there really is so much to see in the USA.Overseas is fine, but I always tell young people with wonder lust to not sleep on their own country.
>>2649219Sounds like you've wasted a lot of money and are poor because you're renting
>>2648313>ItalyThat's what you get for visiting Naples.
>arrive at the hostel you booked>everyone there is French or Israeli
>>2646231I have never had a scandi go that route, it's always the Dutch or English
>>2648684French Canadians. They manage to fuse canuckistani culture, with the French, while being a bunch of Arab hood rats

>>2642286i hate brown guys for this exact reason, they behave like catty women when girls are around.
>>2643149they're not sending their best over here baka
>read up that Hainan,China is visa free>get excited and start planning my trip there>contact hotels and airlines in the area to ask about the visa free policy>they tell me they don't know and to contact the immigration bureau in the province (of course none of them leave a phone number or email for me to contact them)>do some reading>apparently visa free is only for people directly flying to Hainan Island>no flights from my country fly direct to that island >only possible option is to fly through Hong Kong>that option literally doubles my airline ticketso wtf is even the point of making it "visa free"?
>>2649381They were literally the friendliest people I met. Well, the ones who interacted with me. Got so much food, drinks, travel tips, tips on how to not pay for tourist attractions, etc.
>>2649425you can say that again
>>2649057what a sad job this is
>>2649278Come on now, half of Taiwanese are as brown as any Southeast Asian.I'm European American and don't speak Chinese. They don't like that any more than Americans would feel kindly toward a lone foreigner who refuses to speak English.

I plan on not going at all to the Caribbean side since it's such a short trip.
>>2649384>>2649559most people with a brain go to panama or costa rica insteadsan blas islands in panama, better wildlife in costa rica, much safer and easier to get around
>>2649559If you are not talking about how to pick up hookers in SEA or about Mexico (since there is a lot of mexifags here) then you will get no response.
>>2649796>most people with a brain go to panama or costa rica insteadThis.I suggest 10 days in CR, 3 in the rain forest near Tortuguera, 3 days in the cloud forest, 1 day in the city, and maybe another 1-2 days in the Arenal volcano area, doing some spas and the hanging bridges.
>>2649796>>2649812Nicaragua has way prettier cities though...
>>2649812>1 day in the city,San Jose? It looked like a dump is there anything to do there?
have you been to russia recently? how was it?

I've got a working holiday visa and a plane ticket, due to fly out in September.I'm just planning on travelling and working, but do I need travel insurance to go?Do I ACTUALLY need insurance?I've seen on WWOOF which is a farm volunteering scheme, that they require some special volunteer insurance just to volunteer, but I don't want to pay a lot of money to volunteer and I don't want to pay for insurance at all really.
>>2649808>I'm just planning on travelling and working, but do I need travel insurance to go?>Do I ACTUALLY need insurance?Do you usually roll the dice for medical expenses because you have a few hundred thousand in savings. You have a credit line on your credit card of $50k or more? Which is it. Any person can rack up $1 million with a week in ICU, or get a sudden appendix emergency. Will you need med-vac airlifting off a boat or from a small town.On the flipside, if you can't afford $350 for a medical plan, you really can't afford to travel at all.
>>2649811I can afford it.
What is a good place for australians to travel to? Basically I want to go somewhere that we don't have a reputation as asshole drunk bogans like indonesia. I'll go to thailand one day obviously, for the ladyboys
Got the opportunity to sleep in Gothenburg, Sweden for 5 days for free getting there from Germany would cost me >100€ total too.I'm a Neet, my spending budget would be ~200€, likely hardstuck to that city.Would you recommend going there/what are the things I should visit/do/eat? Videos make it seem quite similar to Germany and all the top 10 sightseeing blog posts didn't make me wanna visit any of their tourist attractions.
I just came back from my visit to Charleston SC and was blown away. 80% white, very nice and well mannered people, amazing Latin Mass at a Catholic Church, food has small portions but good, nice, beaches.Do you guys think this is a good place to move to, I am a leaf from Cuckada.
>>2643953Savannah is nice. don't remember a whole lot due to it being a bachelor party
>>2645679grew up in summerville, you're a niggercharleston is objectively a rly nice city to visit and party but ya yourists are awful. good thing they only go to shitty places like opghetto parts of charleston are rly some of the best parts, north king st has v good bars and food (because it's the only place new restaurants can afford to open). north charleston has park circle by the old naval base bad things about chs: stupid expensive, no one from there can afford to live there; overrun with ppl from ny and new jersey; food scene has gotten rly boringnice things about chs: super cheap if you know where to look, v independent vibe and incredibly nice people, surrounding island towns are very good>>2643951charleston is among the most debaucherous cities in the US. spend 5 minutes outside of market and king you fucking capicola canoli faggot
>>2649562I guess that shithole would eems nice if you grow up in an even worse hellhole like summerville you sound like a 2nd gen yankee transplant fag
whats up south carolinas, I'm from Niggerburg. Come throw some tourism money our way and look at our Denny's corporate building and the BMW plant!
>>2649562>> Ghetto part is the bestWent to there for a few days you fucking stupid poor nigger. Keep seething about not being able to afford it. LMFAO.
I'm planning a trip to China this summer. Is it possible to book one of these caves on Airbnb? I'm from a European country and prefer traveling to impoverished communities so I can appreciate the smaller things in life to a greater extent
>>2643772not a bad idea
>>2642158They Always force Christians to live this way before killing the rest off
>>2647368to live in caves? pretty sure the ccp just gulags anyone that is religious

Or does it seem like every time a stranger approaches me abroad it's invariably some lowlife trying to sell me something or scam me.It's specially strange because I make a point of minding my own business and being as unapproachable as possible.
>>2649565Watch your tonewhen speaking to me, faggot.
Maybe I should just be blunt and tell them to fuck off the moment they start peddling their bullshit.
>>2649582Usually touts are poor slobs just following their boss' orders to bring in more customers. I try not to be rude at them unless they try to block my path or make physical contact. If they are behaving like potential muggers and not taking "no" for an answer, then you have to escalate from simple refusal to threat response.
>>2649564That's just how it works bro. You're an adult man. Only people who are trying to rip you off or get money from you are the first to approach.
>>2649564Just say whatever the polite form of “I don’t want, thanks” is in their langusge and watch the longest and lowest frown form across their little brown peasant face.I live for that little shitbag frown because you’ve trapped them inside their own behavioral protocols so if they lash out they’d immediately lose face.Get the fuck away from me and leave me the fuck alone. I’ve sat all the way back in a restaurant only lit up by the sunlight outside and these little faggots will weave through a bunch of tables to come solicit me with their ratshit trinkets KNOWING I sat where I sat to put an invisible barrier between me and them
Haven't seen a Mexico thread in a while.I will be doing a trip through usa in the summer and after that I am thinking of heading to mexico for 2 weeks (it would be my first time in mexico). I was looking at Mexico city and its surroundings, but I am wondering if 2 weeks is too long. Also, how is the safety around there (dont really care about being robbed, not a fan of more violent crime aka kidnappings).
>>2648494Rocky Point is boring, expensive, and hot as hell in summer. TJ is much more exciting, has a full range of price offerings, and a better climate. Rocky Point has a much cleaner beach and better condos. Your car will not be safe on the street in TJ; "guards" will hustle you to pay them a security fee. Walking across at San Ysidro seems the better option. Save yourself the insurance and parking cost. You could also visit Mexicali if you want a more relaxed nightlife scene.
>>2647807Infrastructure leakage is so bad that the water never makes it to the tap in many outlying CDMX neighborhoods. Rich areas are fine, but they def do not need more people living there.
>>2645677In 2021 I've visited Polanco - one of the most expensive district in the world - and it was fine.Too many globohomo stuff in my taste tho.I've met a couple of aussies who told me they were extorted by local corrupt policemen (take passports and force tourists to withdraw 100$). So despite being a weathy area you can get troubles.Always take prints of your passport with you, if they take your passport by force and refuse to give it back, tell them they'll have to proceed further with the anti-corruption office and your country's diplomatic services.
>>2648669You shouldn't carry your passport on the street in Mexico. Only federal officials are allowed to enforce immigration law, and this usually occurs at highway checkpoints. Drunk foreigners are often targeted by criminal cops when stumbling around in the street late at night. I've had it happen once to me around 2:30 AM in Tuxtepec, but I told the cops preemptively which hotel I was heading back to, and they said "good night" and left me alone. Driving in Mexico, you are far more likely to experience petty shakedowns than you are when traveling without a car.Drunkenly threatening thuggish, corrupt cops with exposure is not a course of action I would ever recommend. Your body may never be found.
I got mugged at Mexico City at knife point. Also had to give money to cops because they said they would take me to jail (I was drunk).My friends say Mexico city is one of the safest places in Mexico, the federal gov puts a lot of money in it and have deals with the cartels.
is this an accurate map?
Discuss everything related to Philippines travel here. No bait in OP edition.
>>2650194>Thanks. I was thinking about Cebu or Manila.Manila is 10x better than Cebu for meeting women. Cebu is booty cheeks cargo culting coomers these days
If you're white you do not need to pay for pussy. Browncels keep seething over this. They hide behind "muh no sex tourism allowed" because they want to demoralize you, White man. Fuck mods. Fuck jannies.
>>2650905>>2650903These are some really terrible glamour shots. I’ve seen Alex in person doing one of her shows where she pretends to be a waitress at a canteen and she is 1000x hotter IRL
Left pic is what I remember Alex Gonzaga looked like IRL
How common are pink nipples in the Philippines? I find women with dark nipples to be a huge turn-off.
HOW THE FUCK DO THEY GET ANYTHING DONE IN THIS COUNTRY? I SWEAR EVERY OTHER WEEK I LOOK THEM UP AND THEY'RE THREATENING ANOTHER STRIKE STOP FUCKING WITH MY PLANS YOU STINKY SMELLY POOPY FROGS
