You can make it here. Schools are all privately owned, you don't even need a tefl, just bullshit a resume and dress nice. Felon? Failure? It doesn't matter, you can start fresh here.
>>2658824Tell us about crab brain noodles. Sounds interesting.
>>2658432Fucking based pedo mauler.
So what are the actual TEFL salaries like here? I know the meme of going here with no degree and a criminal record and all, but I have a Bachelor's degree, clean record, and I see they have a CELTA program there. Could I feasibly make around $2k a month? A lot of the info I'm finding says around 1k but it's either from people with just high school or from years ago. Is it possible to just get into one of those Cambodian "international schools" and get experience there for a few years before getting a gig at a more legit one in another country? I really don't feel like continuing college for more debt and teaching in some ghetto trash school in America for experience and barely be able to pay my rent and loans, when I could just do it abroad for half the hours and lower the CoL.
>>2660591afaik the only places where you'll make something decent teaching engrish like this is korea or china (and probably japan). a poor country like cambo isn't going to give you shit for salary. you are asking basically for 10x their wages. that means you'd be making 10x what your boss makes. I don't think that's going to happen
>>2660591Try Vietnam, senpai.
IT guy who just had their office shut down moving to full remote from now on(we only had an office because the lease wasn't up till next month and had to come in for the Execs). I make about 82~87k/yr and am told I can work anywhere in the 50 states so long as I am online and available per my normal time of 9am PST. Is Hawaii a big meme? It's been kind of a dream to move there and looking at apartments it's not more expensive for a studio than where I currently live on the west coast. Looking at a 300 sqft studio is 900-1200 or so, and cooking at home I suppose I could save some money. I've traveled there a few times for a week or two each and loved it and my lease is up in July and wondering if I should look to move out there. My concern is that I might run out of shit to do and just be stuck on the island and that if work ever cut my position looking at tech jobs in Hawaii it seems like shit pickings. Has anyone lived there? I like the beach and mountains but worried that after a year of exploring the island I'll either be stuck in a situation where just rich enough to island hop but not rich enough to take long excursions to places like Japan or Asia on those cheap flights.
>>266017682-87k a year is not a lot for Oahu but it’s enough for a single guy with no kids/debt. You won’t exactly be living in luxury and you will need to make responsible choices. You won’t be taking many “long excursions” to Asia if you live in Honolulu on that salary.I’d say just do it. Better to regret taking the chance than to regret not taking it.
>>2660691Oh yeah, it’s hard to rent an apt if you arent there in person. It would be a good idea to rent an airbnb for a month to test the waters and search for an apartment. Also goes without saying but take some time off to move.
>>2660691As long as I can go to Japan twice a year for 2 weeks at a time, hostels are okay by me, I am fine. Not looking for anything more I've gotten the travel bug out of my system.>>2660693I would love to do that but It's coming up on June and July my lease is up, June being kids out of school prime time for families traveling rent anywhere for airbnb outside the big island is ass.
>>2660562>I am a geology nerd it should at least last me a year.move to Utah
Cooming in Hawaii seems fucking expensive who would want to live there where the natives are all fat. Just move to Thailand and be a digital nomad Chad cooming daily in cheap tight pussy
My friend found a cheap round trip flight to Dubai in June ($550) and we decided to yolo a 20 day trip.The thing is, we're both middle class people and I'm having a ton of regret now about spending 20 days in Dubai and how expensive and hot it's going to be - especially since looking into it, Dubai just seems like a worse version of Las Vegas.It's too late now to back out, I could take the L on the plane ticket (we haven't booked any accommodation) but I don't want to fuck over my friend. Is budget travelling Dubai possible? And is it even worth visiting?
>>2659814I live in DubaiWhy the fuck would anyone spend 20 days here for tourism. This isn’t Japan the country is barely 50.Dubai is good for desert tours, sandy beaches, and shopping. That's it.>>2659824>drivingWhyy? Why would you do that? It's just roads and endless desert in-between.>OmanLook up Salalah if you're so intent on driving, a lot of UAE locals visit there for the nature and activities
>>2659872Dubai banned 4chan so I know you’re lying nigga
>>2659814>My friend found a cheap round trip flight to Dubai in June ($550) and we decided to yolo a 20 day trip.>The thing is, we're both middle class people and I'm having a ton of regret now about spending 20 days in Dubai and how expensiveWho would have thought that you have to pay a hotel for every night you'll spend there.
Book an airbnb, that's what i do when i go to Dubai. The hotels are a massive scam and they literally charge you 800 euros more on your entire stay just to have breakfast included. With an airbnb i have several cafes nearby where i can go to have a cheap breakfast or i can just go to carrefour and load up the fridge with fresh fruits and other items for breakfast. Don't listen to the retarded spergs who say Dubai is expensive, there are good options for all budgets there and you don't have to go all the way to Deira to eat something good without spending a fortune.What's expensive is the private terraces and beach clubs that serve booze. You can eat fresh arabic/turkish food at a good price.Of course if you intend to go to CE LA VI every night it's going to cost a lot but just chilling at a terrace in the marina on an evening is not going to cost much.By comparison i found places like Paris or Amsterdam way more expensive in all aspects.
I audibly laughed when I read this, holy fuck OP.You can salvage this easy by going to Oman. Musandam is the most beautiful place on earth, after that you can get a boat to Muscat, rent a car, and spend 2 weeks driving around a real country.
Hello American friends. In june I will be coming to Miami for 10 days.It will be my first time to america, I like walking so will not be using many Uber. What is the best way to found out areas or streets which should be avoided. Usually I am not troubled when travelling I don’t look like a victim but in america my fear is someone coming to me with a gun to rob me. Thanks :)
>>2660045Avoid I-95, it is not safe to walk on.
>>2660457Because you're going to assume or take it as everyone being extremely rude or hostile.
>>2660105Can confirm that this is the truth. I never get sucker punched in over 95% white building. Root math here is for every black person your risk of violence doubles, so if you see 4 of them thats 800%.Brittish whites arent a threat, they just bitch at the bar and then die by overdose at some strip club. Just treat them as nuisance that doesnt exist walking distance away. Theyre all pussies so youre gonna have safe but emotionally abusive trip if theres britbongs nearby.Math with UK people is more UK = less enjoyment, if theres over 3 brittish people you avoid the place and go somewhere else to not get annoyed. Theyre like apes in a zoo.
What is it with foreign tourists and Miami in particular
>>2660045>will not be using an UberDude, you will need an Uber if want to go to places. Miami is a sprawling wasteland and in most places the locals and the police will harass you for simply walking outside. Floridians are notoriously bad drivers and will run over you. Also, it is super humid in June so stay hydrated if you are planning to walk a lot.
I went to the restaurant with the highest rating in the app.
>>2658566I ate the barely cooked mystery meat deom the street vendor. i then lost 30 pounds from a tapeworm.
>>2658566There is absolutely a positive correlation between google maps reviews and quality of dining experience.
>>2660095you are gay and not a real traveler, you are more like a cow who is led to a certain pasture to graze, and thinks himself free, but is in fact constrained by the fence the farmer constructed around him. I hope you are ashamed of yourself and cease posting on this board.

As practical advice and warning for your fellow travelers, what bad tourist behavior have you seen, or even accidentally done?One i learnt the hard way, people don't find it amusing or cute if you use their secret word for you on yourself: Rosbif in France, Farang in Thailand, it doesn't come across as self deprecating, it comes across as mockery and assumes they'd use that word. Also do not try and catch a banknote blowing away in the wind with your foot in Thailand, it's massively disrespectful to the royal family.
>>2659524>people putting their feet on inappropriate things.I once got called rude just because i had my feet on a table in a waiting area at an airport. Which is retarded because i've been to other airports where indians put their bare feet everywhere.I've had complaints about wearing my cap in the place, i've had complains about wearing airplugs and so on...In all those cases, it's the people complaining that are just shitty toxic people who think they can impose their view everywhere like they are in their shitty town in Connecticut or whatever.
>>2660694>wearing airplugs*earplugs
>>2660694>I once got called rude just because i had my feet on a table in a waiting area at an airport. Which is retarded because i've been to other airports where indians put their bare feet everywhere.Well, but those are Indians, people expect that kind of subhuman street-shitting behavior from them.
>>2659356Why don't they?

what are good traveling? >never book on a weekend, wait till teusday>clear brower history before checking flight prices>Airbnb a single room with single bathroomAlso next 2 months im free, so where should i go to just waste 10k in whores. (no Thailand please,. im into Scandinavian hos
>>2660136i agree, he should make sure not to LOSE his passport too.
>>2658840Lots of the bigger airlines will inflate their "flights only" prices on their site to encourage you to book package holiday with them. You can get around this by using their "multi-city" searches and just selecting the flights on there or by finding a third party price comparison site to book through.
>>2660136>>2658852I have an even better one. Get a passport, report it as lost. Get another passport. Now you have two passports. One of them being a "dummy" passport you can use to walk around with. This helps if you're in a country where people will steal your passport. Just give them the dummy one and go use your real one.
>>2658840>so where should i go to just waste 10k in whores>Note: Discussions of prostitution or sex tourism are not permitted on /trv/.mods? can you read?
>>2660376Good advice.>>2660626for free? i would live there.>>2660631its more traveling tips, the whore thing is extra,
Ive got flyer miles, and money, I want somewhere interesting. and whens the best time to get tickets, i heard booking on Tuesday is always cheaper.
Are the rumors true?
>>2660512>It's trueit's over
>>2660480You don't go to benidorm unless you're willing to spend it with the lowest of the low Brits who for some reason want it to be just like the UK when they fly over there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jwX3-0bVas&list=PL3t2eiIeQkhGFjClYNrO5xZahaoPgDEHa
>>2660568Because all they are looking for is the sun. They don’t care for the culture, food, local language etc only that it is cheap. if the UK could get spains climate these people would literally never leave.
>>2660568>>2660587Spain gets nicer the more you find areas British aren't willing to go because they have to actually use their braincells to use the language. I'm from England and hate going to these places and avoid them whenever necessary I'd much prefer going to some local family run Spanish place if I want somewere to eat or drink because then I won't be lining the pockets of British expats. They don't care about Spain, learning the language or history, they just want somewhere to go where it's warm so they can drink and fuck all day while turning small cities into their own little ghetto. >You don't go to benidorm unless you're willing to spend it with the lowest of the low Brits who for some reason want it to be just like the UK when they fly over there.I know people who were literal millioniares who used to live out there they just liked it because they had some attachment to the place even they mentioned last time I met that it's went downhill quite a lot in the past couple years.
>>2660476It's true.

>here’s your 18% tip for handing me a drink Is there anything fun to do here that doesn’t cost a fortune or that is even free for that matter? I’m sick of paying to do literally anything here.
>>2660201Chinese come here to money launder but they stopped coming. Europeans crave and desire Canada but the poojeets running the immigration block them, so they're stuck in Europe which is a bigger shithole than Canada.Indians come here because it's easy and takes no effort to move to Canada. The smart ones will eventually move to the USA.
>>2660213Quebec is filled with french expats larping to their families back home that Canada is paradise while making 40k year working some shitty customer service job and studying some worthless degree at University of Montreal.Europeans do come but only the delusional retards stay. Everyone i know that came from europe that isn't french moved the fuck back the minute they finished their degree or their first 6 months of work citing the insane cost of living, shit currency, and overall state of things in the city they lived in.The french expats actually have a reason to stay because if they come from a smaller city in France it's basically stay back home in a city with zero work, full of niggers and the only prospect for a better life is move to Paris which is hell in itself or stay in Canada.
>>2660215>Quebec is filled with french expatsNo, it's not.It's very rare to meet someone from France who lives in Quebec.Curious as to why you would think this?
>>2660222Go to Montreal and find out, Quebec city not so much. Everywhere else not at all but those are towns in bumfuck nowhere. Im talking about where all the economic activity takes place in Quebec which is Montreal. Yes its full of french expats.
>>2660162Immigrants mind their own business. White Vancouverites are highly noisy, paranoid people. Your Karen stereotype is a white woman for a reason.
Kek Philadelphia thinks it's a big city
>>2659816cherry hill could make anyone want to violently kill themselves >>2659936omg piney representation? chatsworth born and raised herere: thread, philadelphia changed my life. thanks to the music scene in west philly, i made so many fucking quality friends. just good fucking people. love philly to pieces, but ive seen the homicide and opiate epidemics destroy too many innocent peoples' lives to stay there any longer
>>2660152Philly is the only city you can simultaneously love and admit that it’s a shit hole. If it didn’t have the problems it has, it would be the best city by far.
>>2660152True Piney. I live off the grid somewhere in Burlington County on private land. NJ laws are ass backwards and the land is not zoned for building so the taxes are cheap af. I snuck in a single wide trailer, drilled a shallow well, installed a simple diy septic, and solar field + generator for electric and am living pretty fucking good for legit only a few grand a year.
>>2660152At least the opioids just destroy north and west Philly mostly

Boring, expensive, unfriendly, full of fats and dark people. What's the appeal in this shithole?
>>2660072Nothing. Don't come here, stay in your country.
>>2660072>What's the appeal in this shithole?Black women
>>2660072Being outdoors far away from cities
>>2660072The flyovers don't have any culture
>>2660727The flyovers have a unique culture. The Amerikaner is the last citizen still holding onto the ideals of western freedom and yeoman independence. Coastal blue tribe culture is just the same as you will find in any capital city around the world. Southerner or rural redneck culture on the other hand is a remnant from the past and perhaps the last bulwark of freedom against bugpod imf nwo tyranny.
I've got two weeks in November to go somewhere, and was thinking Portugal. Despite having been around the world a bit, I've never gone to Europe. I'd just stay on the mainland between Lisbon and Porto for time, probably stop in Evora, Coimbra, and Braga too. Just interested in the food, old cities, and such. Don't care so much about beaches as its probably too cold in November.
>>2658862I thought most of Sintra's natural scenery was way cooler than the palaces. The whole palace area was a massive tourist blackhole with a lot of lines to not see much. The palace tour sucked, it was too railroady and cramped. I'd advise to see more of the coast and go hiking on some trails.
>>2652499I hate portugal so fucking much. Americans/californians took it over and gayed it up badly. It was great before that happened. Sad! Many such cases. Many such places ruined by these people
>>2652499Portugal and Spain really surprised me, everywhere was nice, not expensive, full of history still preserved and people seemed alright. Would recommend at least Lisbon to anyone, Porto is probably even nicer
Has anyone here gone to the Azores? Is it worth a trip there or there better islands to go to in the Atlantic? How to they compare to the Canarys? I've never gone to a smaller island/island nation.
>>2659608No island in the world compares to the Azores.Truly the pearl of the Atlantic.
I'm going to be spending a week in Halden, Norway in late June and I'm wondering if any of y'all know of some cool day trip things to do, or have any recs in the immediate area (obviously Oslo is close).
