Is it better for a woman to live in Norway and work as a waitress or to study to become a nurse and move to the USA?I am single and in my later 20s and don’t want kids. I have visited Norway, but only Oslo and Bergen, and i have been to the US but only in New York, but have had close online friends in California (unfortunately during covid).My other option is to somehow get some sort of remote job, but this would be a possible future longer term endeavour, after moving to the US or Norway. Norway does somehow seem more cozy for a single person , but there are many parts of the US i would like to visit as well.
>>2713680Be a good wife and he will carry you even if it breaks his back.Men are simple creatures and are not that hard to please once you figure out what pleases them. I am not going to explain all of marriage to you, Nora, because ultimately you won't follow my advice.
>>2713681I have heard it is better paid than in Canada. Either way, it would be my only way into the US. In Norway i would not be able to work as a nurse, unless I get qualified as a nurse and also learn Norwegian. The only job I could have there is as a waitress.
>>2713682I think i can be a good wife but i would have to find a partner who doesn’t want kids, and that seems difficult to do
>>2713685No one who is healthy (either in the head, or hormonally) doesn't want kids.There's a lot of screeching and debate over this, but historically having a bountiful family has always been an aspiration and goal. The mass rejection of offspring is a new phenomenon and therefore an aberration. However you have your opinions on this and I won't try to dissuade you of them.Going by your request though, you will have a much better time girlbossing it up in Norway. Chance of failure close to zero due to having a powerful safety net, but the same system will keep you from rising above your station.The US is sink or swim. Also it's full of nogs, so make of that what you will.I didn't realize that you weren't a Norwegian native. If you have the ability to pick one or the other, there is no reason other than the spirit of adventure to pick the US.Also being a nurse sucks dick.
>>2713686The weather and variety of nature in the US is probably better. Also the wider variety of jobs I could do and people I could meet. The variety of people and cultures could be both good and bad, but a wider variety means a better likelihood of finding someone compatible I would think. I don’t think any man in Norway would want to be a provider, their relationship dynamics are fairly equal. Also it’s unlikely anyone in Norway would be wealthy (everyone is fairly equal there, which is both good and bad). But it would likely be better for being single, despite the depressing winters.

>>2713472wow its almost like the janny was doing his job or something
>>2713612you seem to omit the blatantly obvious sexual innuendo and shitpost tone of the post and the historically sex obsessed nature of phg threadsjanny made a good call to kick coomers to the curb
>>2713609Forgive us for being surprised, it's not something we see very often.
Good job the thread is fucking dead. There is nothing in the Philippines to talk about except breeding Filipinas.
>>2713684The fried chicken is pretty good.
I want to emigrate from Canada. Tired of the fucked up everything in this third world country. Shitty economy, shitty infrastructure, shitty people, shitty weather.What is a good country to move to long term? I'm thinking Oman, Thailand or Malaysia. I would consider China too but one has to practically marry a Chinese national and have an anchor baby to move there. I might do that anyways. Writing off all countries with a white majority population, I'm looking to leave the west to get away from white people and their leftist woke mental disease.

What's the appeal of traveling?
>>2703754Whats the appeal of posting demoralisation threads on /trv/ with all the pedo anime pictures you have saved on your computer?
>>2709114they cant make it on the big boy boards so to have to come here to get their daily (You) quota.
>>2704719Scarcity and fomo
>>2703754IMO, touristy things (museums, tours, sight seeing), a change of scenery to mentally reset and find new inspiration, as well as just mentally unwinding by setting aside several days where you have absolutely nothing to do but relax and enjoy yourself.IMO, if you're lonely, then traveling isn't fun.>>2703761Are there places good for that, or do you just have game? I find women tourists in my town are easy to get with, but being a tourist yourself somewhere makes everyone ignore you.

Why no Seoul or South Korea thread? Has South Korea become less popular to visit since the 2010s?
>>2713521No one uses tinder in korea I don't know why that guy replied. But like I said, if you don't even know the korean apps, it's not gonna be for you anyway.
I'm Korean and thesedays SK women don't want to date with SK men. a lot of SK women want to date with a western men. if you're White and looking normal, will be easy. and now SK women use a Tinder and Bumble too. but Bumble have more good image to have serious relationship.

>>2713636At first i thought it was some nonsense over kpop, but i realised that it means korea has a larger total gdp than all the other white countriesThey sure know how to get the pussy gushing with logic like that
Once while at a bar in Paris, I overheard a Canadian, whose accent was identical to mine (and most Americans), feel the need to explain to the bartender in English that he “isn’t a stupid American” while ordering his drink. Why are Canadians like this?
>>2713553Lmao, Canadians do the "Oh shit I fucked up, UHH I AM AMERICAN YES FROM LA HAHA. NOT CANADA!".Most americans actually play it off as a joke, no clue how many times I've heard "Oh sorry I am a dumb/ignorant/stupid American I don't know better LOL". Which is so cringe it hurts

What countries will you never visit again?
>>2713265BsAs has no nightlife. Argentina in general is the most overrated country on the planet despite it's notoriously easy visa policies. The retard they elected will probably do his best to fuck you over on that for his handlers before his time is up - naturally or otherwise.Argentinians are fucking assholes too and BsAs/Cordoba contain the worst examples of living shit on Earth. Eastern Europeans are arguably more tolerable than Argentinians once you get past the Slavic 'ice wall' cold personalities. All Argentinians have is that typical 'LatAm Extroversion' that's a thinly veiled cover for the most envious fucking losers on the continent. Even Venezuelans have more humility than an Argentine.And the women are terrible in bed. Sure, they're white, but those are the porteno sluts in BsAs that are too fucking stupid to manage their own OnlyFans accounts. B1+ conversation Spanish is required here. You're better off in Mexico or Colombia than Argentina. And no, Argentina isn't "Safer" than Colombia and certainly no safer than Mexico where the cartel tortures anyone that touches a gringo. Stay out of Medellin and take a cab around at night anywhere else and even Colombia is "SAFE" compared to Argentina (now 62% living below poverty rate). Plenty of cities in both Colombia and Mexico where people aren't just worthless jealous pieces of shit masquerading as "white and worthy". The irony to Argentina being the browns are the only 'decent assholes' in the country. May as well just go to Paraguay or Brazil and learn their shitty language.
>>2712943The US west coast is wonderful. It has a perfect climate for people to live in and jaw-dropping natural beauty all around. The problem is that it's inhabited by the worst people in the US: conservatives that honest-to-god believe they're progressives.
>>2713619NTA but did you go to the south at all? I've been interested in going to Argentina for a while but I want to go to Tierra del Fuego and southern Patagonia; I have zero interest in the north.
>>2713664I'll happily be the Devil's Advocate to the InstaLARP regarding southern Argentina.I'm American, I've done a dozen+ road trips to the Western US Nat'l Parks. Arches, Zion (GOAT), Rocky Mountain/Pike's Peak/Boulder Co. Area, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton (Also gorgeous).If you've been to Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone, and Teton, then you've been to Patagonia. The parks are not only nicer, but you don't have to deal with Argentina and it's economic bullshit or the people there. You can make a nice road trip, even if you don't have a car you can sleeper RV for a few weeks. Just go to Boulder, hit the big state parks there, Rocky Mtn, then straight north to Teton and Yellowstone in a night. Bam, saved a ton of money, time, and hastle and see everything Patagonia has to offer except for the InstaLarp at El Chaltan and the glacier.Bariloche is an entire town (not city, town) that is a massive tourist trap. That far south people either have money right now (probably not that much unless they're owners) or they're piss poor. You'll literally see the poor browns standing in the grocery stores there just staring at the milk and shit that's gone up 500% and there is no meat in the stores either. On weekends it gets crowded and as I'm sure you can imagine none of the locals are happy to deal with you on a personal level since you're one of hundreds of white assholes there to take their pictures and leave. You'll be treated accordingly. Most of the tourists are French or Spaniard. You'll not get along with the French, they're pieces of shit like always, and the Spaniards (the women) generally pair up fast since they know the language.I can't speak highly of Patagonia, and like Mexico the whole "rent a care" meme is asking for trouble. No one has money, your shit will be stolen or the car will get a "flat" and need a pricey tow, etc.Peru or Ecuador have better options for trekking and a stable economy that doesn't require a million trips to Western Union.
>>2713671Worth noting as well that home invasions/robberies, non-violent at least for now, are on the rise in Bariloche targeting AirBNBs and temporary stays. Even long term expats there are being targeted.Check Facebook groups if you want to keep tabs on crime in Argentina. It's not safe.
Where on the planet would you go to do this, given the following Law/Police Sciences bachelor11 years a cop, 5 in training, 4 years being a drill instructor, 2 being in drug enforcement 3 years experience as a business startup consultantWould ideally like to provide mentorship and help to kids and people that need it. if it was up to me id channel it through teaching BJJ, English, or working at/owning an orphanage or facility for troubled youth. Yes I know I sound like a retard but I'm shooting for the pinnacle and seeing how close i can land.Rural, with access to the city would be perfect, but I'm sure that's also a tall ask I'm done being the current me and would like to become what I've wanted since I was a teen. Idgaf about leaving everything. my experiences are all I need
>>2713124I am absolutely a nogi guy, which is why I barely train lol, I never put on a gi until I moved here, id don't really like it desu. It's so hard to find people or gyms interested in nogi. When I do actually train, I go to Mubadala Arena in Sports City, Abu Dhabi. Which is another thing I appreciate from the UAE, they have free training available to residents.Anyway, here are some establishments I have found inspiring that you might also appreciate. Maybe their business model is something similar to your dream:https://levelgroundmma.org/ Level Ground is a nonprofit mma gym for underprivileged youth in Boston, it also functions as an afterschool program provide homework assistance and workforce training. https://herobjj.com/Hero BJJ provides free access to BJJ training for local kids in Costa Rica and pays for it be hosting BJJ vacation retreats feature big name coaches/competitors.
>>2713321I'd love to give you the name of a spot to train then but idk how to do it without doxxing myself to the rest of 4chan. we do nogi 6 days a week (currently 4 due to matspace issues but we'll be out of Wellfit soon).how come you ain't at 10th planet?thanks for the links. will check em out. what're the fucking odds
>>2713327we'll be training out of Wellfit* not leaving it
>>2713327I love 10p. I used to train at 10th planet Las Vegas when I was living in the states. Being in Abu Dhabi I can't go to 10p Dubai regularly. When I first moved to UAE I was visiting Dubai monthly for nightlife and tourist stuff, it quickly lost its appeal, now i hardly ever go up there unless I have a reason lol. But when I do, I try to drop in for a class or open mat.
>>2713658Huh. I was a day one member from when it opened in 2020. now I really think I must have rolled with you. anyway fuck it, Jake left and so did we.Yeah fuck the nightlife, I have one or two spots i visit for the music and other than that just hit LSB or Brass Monkey for shitty food and 8-Ball.anywayHope we can open our schools in the future. my main focus is being there for people.
Traveling used to seem like an adventure, full of promise and excitement. But now, at 25, it feels hollow—each trip another reminder of what’s missing. I’ve seen beautiful places, sure, but every city is another empty hotel room, every scenic view another moment spent alone. I watch people, couples, families, all sharing something I can't seem to find. Each return home feels lonelier than the last, with no one to share stories with, no one to miss me.The thrill of new experiences fades fast when you’ve got no one to come back to. And the worst part is, there’s nothing more miserable than realizing it’s not the places you visit that make you feel alive—it’s the people you share them with.

>>2710460You need to find inner peace and a sense of spirituality anon. Learn to love being on your own <3 Study NDEs to get going on that quest, since NDEs are seriously irrefutable proof that heaven really is awaiting us all because (1) people see things during their NDEs when they are out of their bodies that they ought not be able to under the assumption that the brain creates consciousness, and (2) anyone can have an NDE and everyone is convinced by it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00ibBGZp7oSo every atheist or materialist or agnostic would be too if they had an NDE, so pic related is literally irrefutable proof of life after death. As one NDEr pointed out:>"The minute that I kind of woke up on that hillside in heaven I knew that that was more real than any time I've ever spent here on Earth. And I knew instantly that my time here was really but a dream. It's real to us when we're in it, but once I was there in heaven I realized that's more real, that felt more real, and it made much more sense to me than anything here. This is kind of nonsensical at times. In heaven, it's so clear, so real, so rational, so logical, but yet emotional and loving at the same time. Immediately I knew that was real and this was not. Immediately."If NDEs were hallucinations then extreme atheists and neuroscientists who had NDEs would agree that they were halluinations after having them. But the opposite happens as NDEs convince every skeptic when they have a really deep NDE themselves.So NDEs convince people who have them, and so does the extensive scholarly literature on NDEs for the people who actually reads it. The problem, however, is that so many pseudoskeptics never actually read the scholarly literature on NDEs and instead just assume, based on their materialist dogma, that since there can not be any evidence for the reality of NDEs, there is no point actually learning more about NDEs.Traveling on your own should be amazing. You can get there.
>>2710476What city
>>2710460Like with all other stuff>moderation is a keyDont overdoo it, ive seen many people that stoped traveling alltogheter becausr of this. Im at 60 countries and ive many of them multiple times. Im 36yo and had some periods of burnout in past. Sometimes one or two trips a year is enough, if you got a fever do more, but dont book 5 trips expecting it to magicly fix your issues/give you a total reset. If you travel more just dont travel more than 1 time a year to same destination/similar one.>pick up a partner in crimeIm introvert but I dont find traveling alone as much fun as travelling with partner. If you lack one try to find a mate. It can be gf/bf, or just good friend. Just be sure that you know and like said person.>switch things upMaybe you should try to change something about your way of travelling - book different type of hotels/rbnb/places do different activities.Its all very obvious and normal stuff that you can implement into other parts of your live. Travelling is the same, its just a hobby, addiction at worst/best. People which claim its something more are just doing mental gymnastic for their escapism rutine.
Last car crash of a thread hit bump limitLet's try againSeething retards need not post, we know you exist
>>2713540lmao it's a huge fucking Muslim country my guy so yeah it's fine. I was making some piss take example.As the other anon said the western food is meh but still air-conditioned and passed some quality control. I sure do love see rats running by my shoes eating that cheap single rengit food on the street!
>>2713529What muslim establishment do you intend to go drink alcohol at anon? It clearly says beer house at the top.Not many people here are absolute brokefags trying to begpack/poorfag it across SEA. The ones who want to are basically never going to because after looking at flght costs and realizing it takes effort they just go back to day dreaming. I would say 4 out of 5 people here probably have a weekly budget that of over 150 USD or 20 USD a day while traveling. That goes a long way in Malaysia so why would you subject yourself to 'wow 7 rm sandwhich! look at the outside. Don't question the meat content or amount!' when like most other tourists I ran into would get hungry just a bit later. This is especially true if you are actively going to historical sites, weekend events, or other While there is good food to be had for cheap, and I don't think anyone should overpay, why not just get something well made in an establishment that doesn't make you question if a bird is going to swoop down on your meal when you look away? I mean if you are on a shoe string budget in any major Malaysian city you should be saving your money for these to combat the absolute horrid air quality.

Is anywhere in blue worth living at? I work from home
>>2699130Not really, because you're one layoff from getting stuck in somewhere with no jobs of the same caliber, so kiss your arbitrage goodbye. Since you're remote, you're now competing against the whole world. Basically anywhere nice is a college town, which isn't really any less expensive than the the city.If you really like having a large plot (which you have to maintain btw), it can be nice. Maybe if you're a mid-late career consultant with a lot of clients in your contact list to fall back on.
>>2699130East of Reno and Sparks is a good area. Close enough to a relatively big city for medical and entertainment but far enough away from the crazies and homeless.Plus Nevada doesn't tax income

It's only terrible if you are over like 26 and in downtown. If you are similar in age to the students you can really get by fine, assuming you aren't a cashier at target or a townie that has lived there their whole life. Of course you can live further away from the downtown and the further you go the less it matters that you are 30+>>2699390You can find a nice studio apartment in Philly for 1-1.2k in an area where you only need a bike. Look on zillow east of broad street and north of Washington ave. Objectively one of the safer areas in the city too.
I'm going on my first ever cruise next month, it's gonna be a Carnival cruise. Let's have a cruise general; tips, stories, opinions etcHow was your last cruise experience and would you go again?
>>2713461Yes, of course. I often wear a captain's hat and Sperry Topsiders, just to give off the "pro cruiser" vibe. People have a chuckle when they first see me, but with a little ingratiating conversation and a few Pina Coladas, I often find myself back in another couple's stateroom, plowing the wife while the husband films. Many such examples.
>>2713379Dick pills for sure. When I was in high school (grew up on the border) people would go down and get soma (carisoprodol) which I guess is fun to take. Back then amphetamine based diet pills were pretty common for women too. Pharmacies can be cagey about the more commonly abused ones like opiates and aderall and they're less commonly prescribed in mexico but they're around especially border towns.
>>2713488my understanding is that adderall is banned in mexico and any "adderall" you get will just be meth pills

It was my first ever cruise trip, it made me realize that the next time I do a cruise I want to go all out. I'm talking the vip best rooms and all that extra stuff they offer. Food for the most part was nice, the buffet was meh but had a couple good things to get by, the restaurants though were always good.
