>>2848582Go to pattaya and take him to walking street the first night.>>2848589Stay out of the western containment zone and you won’t see any black people all
>>2848581Mid thirties. Don't interact with hookers at all but lived here long enough to know most foreigners do.Nice try though. Stay naive son.
>>2848562>This isn't a individual society like the United States. People are in each others business.>he doesn't think Americans watch and gossip and then act upon itYou've never been around mormons or the seattle have you
A roach came up my shower drain but was also kind enough to leave the same way when I came near.I still put a glass over the drain though.
Have any of you gotten a yellow fever vaccine for Brazil?I'm planning to go spend some weeks in Brazil starting in January 2026, specifically Rio, Sao Paulo, Florianopolis but might also want to see a city in the inside of the country such as Curitiba or make a small detour at the coast seeing a small touristic places.On the one hand I read only like 50% of the brazilian population is vaccinated on the other hand I also read there's a resurgence of cases and that the vaccine has a low side effect profile.
>>2847875Yeah but I only got it just in case the fucks at CDE decide to check me. They never do but it doesn't hurt to not have to pay a bribe
>>2847875Get the vaccine, and more importantly retain proof of yellow fever vaccination. Many countries around the world will refuse entry to you if you have been to Brazil but have not gotten a yellow fever vaccine.
>>2847955Insane how American degeneracy has ruined so much of the world.
>>2847875There is no urban yellow fever at all in Brazil. But consider taking dengue jab
>>2847875>Rio, Sao Paulo, Florianopolis, CuritibaI'm considering a similar trajectory. Are you planning to rent a car at any point in time? I'm considering it in the south.
I don't see a lot of threads about south America, Africa on /trv/.Brazil dominates the continent, is it geographically isolated or can you go through Brazil in transit back and forth? Does anyone transit Guyana through the Brazil land border? How far can you actually get up the Amazon and is that a viable route?When it's the tourist season, which places to normie Americans ruin?How's the place doing currency wise, is Venezuela back on the itinerary?
>>2847777>arepasi remmber hurting some feelings by not saying i liked those bonedry white arepas. i wish i could redo that scenebuñuelos are da bomb tho
>>2847332How common are trannies in south america ? Especially Colombia ?And what are my chances with both trans and cis women in south america as a twinkish slavic guy ? lol
>>2848050Also wtf why is this garbage automatically in my name.. bruhShitty promotion
>>2847332I'm planning a trip to Brazil in January-February. I'm looking for a cool small-to-medium-sized city in the south of Brazil. Is Florianopolis a good place?
>>2848050Trannies are not that common in Colombia. Colombia's culture is both libertine (prostitution and weed are decriminalized) and conservative. Uber drivers in Medellín are some of the consistently right-wing people I've ever met.
>Be me>Look up stuff about new country>Click on travel blog #823472342 by some random 27 year old girl who travels for a livingI understand being able to make a living if you're the top of the top but how the hell are there so many people who seemingly make a living writing articles on wordpress? And what's stopping somebody from using AI to pump out articles and itineraries?
>>2847946People will take a one week trip and turn it into 6 months of content. It's especially obvious with youtubers. They'll walk around a random street, pointing out everything and pretending like it's some grand adventure, and turn that into a 30 minute video. They upload their next video 3 weeks later and it's a video that they recorded the day after their last video. Even the big travel vloggers do this.The woman in your screenshot probably took 200 pictures in a day or two, rushing around at max speed to stop in front of every hot spot she can find, getting a picture, then running to the next stop. Then she changed her outfit during lunch time and again at dinner. She'll milk those pictures for months to come and pretend every single day is luxury for them.
>>2848332The camera is very selective. You can show whatever side of a country you want to show by hiding the parts you don't want to show. Fact is, vloggers (and bloggers to a less extent, because nobody wants to read anymore) get to actually be the main starring character of the show that is their life, and it's addictive. Especially when you start getting praise from all sorts of random people for, uhh, taking a boat ride or eating at a restaurant. >>2848320The last few Lonely Planet guides I got sucked. They had become listings of the most popular upscale businesses in every tourist destination, completely divorced from their original purpose of being a BUDGET travel guide assisting you in discovering unknown places. You know, finding those great little hotels that don't show up on Google Maps when you search. The restaurants that are tucked away in some back alley where nobody goes, but serve amazing food.
>>2847946Just don't be poor. I'm 25 and get $15k of spending money each month from rent income. I also pretend to be a "travel blogger" and give no fucks. It's more bitches to fuck(hoping you give them reach for their OF shit), free drinks and here and there a free room upgrade that is worth it.
>>2848400>I'm 25 and get $15k of spending money each month from rent incomeDo you own the property? How’d you end up establishing that?
>>2847946As a full time traveler (not a vlogger) I can answer that. It's daddy's money.
What are your predictions about the state of travel in the coming years? Do you see a decline or rise of normies continuing trends of mass tourism? From personal observations it seems like alot of zoomies who have disposable income are jetsetting, while there is a noticable decline in boomer places like Vegas. People were doomposting about indians and chinese taking over the gaps but there are definitely less of them in numbers in places I frequent, barring uberjeets and low service workers. I feel like even last year I noticed way more of my normie social feeds flooded with travel posts (le going to japan omg quirky midlife crisis, reels about china, girls going to thailand for yoga etc), now I rarely see or hear from any of my circles about trips they have been on or are planning. It seemed that there was a peak after Coof blue balls but now it has reached below the baseline, based off the overall vibes I see and observe. Iirc thailand numbers were also down this year. Hell I even see less doomposts here about sexpest spots being overrun with weekend warrior asians and young chads.
Most definitely a rise. I literally just saw a black single mom with her kids in the Philippines coming because "the cost of living is cheaper than the US"......... she wasn't even there to whore around with the local men, just escaping America.... you know the Philippines and other SEA destinations are fucked when the women start coming
There won't be any world left to travel
>>2847220>done mostly for status among their peers rather than genuine interestyeah man poorfags don't do this at all...
>>2847166As hotel prices in India soar (with no corresponding increase in quality), taking cheap flights to neighboring countries for a vacation makes more and more sense. Even with the flight factored in, it can be cheaper to take two weeks in Phuket than to take two weeks in Goa for the typical middle-class Indian family. And you get much better customer service, much cleaner rooms, and much less hassling from touts. >>2847193Hedonistic tourists would be bored in most of the smaller cities and towns. There are no lively bar scenes with an array of low-inhib foreigners drinking from noon til the break of dawn. It's mostly people going about their daily routine. You are free and no longer have to go to work, but everyone around you is still stuck in their wagie life, so you have to be able to amuse yourself.>>2847220With open-source digital maps showing all the hidden gems of the world, adventurers don't really need tour agencies to hold their hand anymore like in the old days. The people who take tours in 2025 are the opposite of adventurers. They want everything programmed and predictable.
>>2847145Honestly as a zoomie I’m hoping to do a trip to Japan next fall after finishing college then that’s it for international travel for a while.
Alaska, any good? I have a high likelihood of being stationed in Anchorage.
>>2848515why are you quoting AI if you lived there for 27 years?
>>2848511A lot of seasonal work register their state of residence in Alaska to take advantage of the relaxed taxation there. Alaska is like in the top 3 of most favorable places to live in terms of taxes. This means people working the spring/summer/fall jobs that come up form WA/OR/MT or truckers who work the winters will get some shithole apartment for 3 months to file all the AK paperwork then fuck back off to whatever state they want not updating their residence. This gives it a huge skew in terms of Male:Female census data.OP: Alaska is only good if you make enough to make it good. Without an income stated Anchorage can be hell on earth or a fine living situation. Your food budget and budget for any extroverted hobbies is going to double if not triple in AK.
>>2848516>>2848558When you correct for removing the under 18, over 60 (and the native indigenous population because let's be real here) the male to female ratio among young adults is heavily skewed towards men.
I had an uncle that moved to Alaska for a few years. He romanticized it and it spit him out. Everything costs more, even common shit at Walmart. it's very isolating and near impossible to find a partner. Shocking amount of lesbians too, so I was told. For 4 years in the military? It's probably a fun experience. I couldn't see myself living there unless I was born into it. Seems like a hard life.Understand that Alaska has a population the size of some B tier cities, and it's even less once you account for reasons that others have said here. And it's fucking huge.
>>2848561The problem with Alaska is the same problem with North Dakota/Montana. Some amazingly good high paying seasonal work and good paying jobs supporting that work, but when winter comes and it's 4-5 months of being shut inside or reclusive; it rubs some people the wrong way.You're basically going to be playing video games with bullshit lag, albeit better these days, or drinking more because work is slow and no events going on to follow up with. Unless you have good self control and are self motivated winters can drive you up a wall in cabin fever/alcoholism. With things costing more you're more likely to drink at home than the bar further isolating you from others.
Was it a psyop in the end? Cannot imagine the fun of going to a crowded smelly building in the dark, paying unreasonable surcharge for drinks, and getting rejected by girls for the night.Some people actually factor in "nightlife" when deciding where to live in the future.
>>2848338sounds gay
>>2848338same experience for me, I have been to more than I'd like to admit and its not much fun. Cant hold a conversation when the music is loud enough to get hearing damage. Also difficult to pull in these environments even as a decent looking guy. The most fun I've had out at night is smaller venue concerts. music you like and then you go out for a smoke in between sets, strike up conversation on the fresh air, and then go back in and grab another drink. also a good way to meet likeminded people.
>>2848465Pretty much the same here. Used to think going clubbing to shitty pop/urban music was the 'done thing', and never enjoyed it. This slightly changes if you've got your own table booked, and are in a decent crowd, though. It's kinda based doing the whole vip thing and feeling separate to the peasants. On /trv/s, have always preferred a decent indie/rock bar. People seem to be on the same wavelength, and there's far less agression.Smoking's been a godsent at picking up girls. So much success in just learning the basics of a language, i.e. 'got a light?' and driving up curiosity from there.
>>2848258I thought so. I'm in my 30s and tried it for the first time in about a decade in Budapest.Eventually I reached a level of drunk where I 'got it.' It's basically what the Romans and Greeks did with their orgies and worship of Bacchus and stuff. You enter an animal state where all you care about is gratifying your most base sense desires.The whole club thing is a kind of way to go about this. The music sucks and most people don't get laid. So yeah I guess nightlife is kind of shit but it's your only option for really indulging in this and it can work in your favor sometimes.
>>2848258IM BLU IMMA NEED OF A GUY
I recently won the jackpot in my state lottery. Fortunately it's not a dystopian state that forces your name to be public. I've won more money than I could ever dream of, but as a NEET I don't know what to do. As I cannot explain my immediate change in lifestyle, I've decided to assume the façade that I have got a job in another country and need to move within just weeks (my money will clear next week). So my questions to you anons, are:- Where should I move to? Money is not an issue, I will invest it safely in the stock market and live off dividends. I could afford literally anywhere beyond tax havens like Monaco but I have no desire to be there anyway (I'm sure Nice is nicer)- Do you have any suggestions for my alibi?I've been a NEETGOD for years now and the massive gap in my CV will turn some heads if they hear I am moving internationally for work. - Any places I should visit that you recommend in general?
I won the lottery and I'm going to move countries.
>>2817321>Nobody asking what OP's hobbies could be>Everytard ITT suggest some destination anywayThat's the first thing you should ask yourself. If it's only vidya and shit, sure, anywhere is fine. If you like seasports it's not the same. For me it's skiing and hiking. And since I'll ever only move in a G7 tier country with drinkable tape water, my options are Switzerland, France, Italy (and basically any country having its share of the Alps), USA, Canada, Japan, and maybe a select few others I'm forgetting. That narrows the list quit a bit.
>>2837113>one country / region at a time>make a ranked list of places you really want to go, chose one region every like half year and go there for a monthYes this. Impossible to make recommendations without context and what you're looking for. I am older and looking for a second home. Instead of "deciding," I'll spend a a few weeks in the Yucatan, Brazil, South of France, Vietnam, etc and the picture will be clearer.As for excuses, just say you got a hotel/hospitality job bartending or maintenance in different cities. You are smart not to reveal the money as it will change everything.
How has literally nobody even thought of the Maldives? You could being king!
>>2841360That's just simply not true.
Anyone else just like experience of being at the airport? Even without traveling.
>>2846913energy aint free
>>2846039>enter airport>pass TSA>stop>put on headphones>play "Remind Me" by Röyksopphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H02iwWCrXewYeah... its go time
>>2846548It's only certain terminal transfers that are awful, mainly when to transfer to/from USA so the english online opinions you see are rather biasedOtherwise it's nowhere near as bad and has also improved recently.Way better than FRA or LHR imo
>>2846039Depends on the airport and how long I'm there for. I like wandering around some larger ones, but it gets boring after a while.
>>2846039>>>/n/Airside is comfierExpensive AF.It's better as a traveler. Being around them looking planes may be cool depending on the airport. But they're not really the best place to being around for too long.
Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread>also known as /sqt/ (Stupid Questions Thread)For your quick one-off questions that pertain to travel.Long or convoluted questions should get their own thread.Questions about popular destinations should be asked in any active thread about them.Previous: >>2788942
>>2848117Fmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_French_Wine_BlightThere's all kinds of stupid shit that could happen
What kinda shit do you guys do to feel productive/growth while on the road? I usually study into random history or find some other sort of shit to read about, sometimes i will get into a good drawing phase
>>2848010>I've never heard of this. Why would it be illegal to smuggle some fucking dirt out of a country?There have been a couple instances in my lifetime that they even ask you if you have walked in pastures with your shoes...iin case you stepped in dirt that may have had dung on it.. This was hoof and mouth disease concerns.
what EU (or near) islands offer similar mix of beaches and big range of easy-to-very hard hikes to Hawaii?
>>2848513Azores, Faroes, Scotland
are road trips overrated? what are your road trip experiences?I feel tempted to just fuck off to balkans or some of the -stans, rent a car and drive around the mountains and smaller citiesthe freedom to go wherever whenever seems great but on the other hand I can see it devolving into just starting at the road half of the day and being exhausted from driving most of the time
>>2846333Beta male. You can snowboard at Brianhead in Utah, Lee Canyon in Vegas and Snowbowl in Flagstaff Arizona for $15 in the winter. They're all great. Lot's of free and cheap camping and inexpensive motels near all of them.
>>2845696when i went to portugal and Spain, i had alot of fun going on a road trip
The best roadtrips I've done were in Morocco and Oman. All wild camping, and with the girlfriend. It's a very detached way of interacting with the country, and for that reason I wouldn't do it alone, would be way too lonely. That's also why camping is a necessity; if you're just driving between hotels I wouldn't even call that travel.Obviously I like deserts. For the Morocco trip we rented a car with decent speakers and listened to Tinariwen's entire discography during the days we were driving through the desert. In Oman we only played Moby for some reason.>>2845720Do you want to motorbike the Karakoram in April with me anon? Serious question. Rentals cost about $15-20/day.>>2845877>big mountain goodI've lived on both coasts and I'd take a misty path thru a forest of sugarmaples over some crowded, sun-bleached trail in a pine monoculture
>>2846208I wouldn't go so far as to call it psychic damage, but it does make you feel alienated from the American culture of comfortable privileged affluence. Which is why I always disliked encountering other homeless car dwellers, because seeing them living in squalor in their beat-up old cars destroyed my own self-image of a unique adventurer who does what nobody else dares to do.>>2846333Walking in the woods in wintertime can be amazingly tranquil, especially after fresh snow. However, the general lack of wildlife and greenery cannot be ignored. Hike New England in a wet June, however, and you'll realize why the trailheads are all empty. The pest insects are an absolute plague. That's a problem you don't encounter in the cold months. >>2848148Whenever I go on a roadtrip with somebody else, they are always impatient to wrap it up and part ways. Enduring my company for any extended period of time really makes them dislike me...which is why I have embraced solo travel so resolutely, refusing even to go on daytrip outings with other people as a general rule.>>2845877I likewise enjoy the eastern forests more than the Instagram hotspots of the west, for the same reason as anon does. They are more biodiverse, more akin to the forests of my ancestral Europe, and free of annoying tourists who couldn't care less about nature and only want to take pictures for bragging rights.
>>2848388>daytrip outingseither the people you hang out with are super retarded or your retarded if you cant handle going places with someone for less then a day
>fell for the travel solo meme
>>2848250You honestly think I didn't? Half the points by the time it was realized was too late to comment on. I don't know what it is about travel that makes your good friends go from being smart and reasonable to absolutely fucking single digit IQ.
My first trips as an adult have been with friends and relatives and sucked ass. No matter what the downsides of solo traveling are I will never look back and go anywhere with anyone ever again. Sometimes I think about it years later and I wish I never had these first trips and saved my time and money for other projects I had at the time.
I'm a 34 year old reclusive guy from Europe who is looking to start solo travelling after a decade of doomrotting and living in fear. I would also like to invite the possibility of meeting people during my travels (my ex - the only gf I've had - got tired of me for being so reluctant to travel, for financial reasons).I've rarely travelled before and don't have the same skills as other people I've met to easily navigate the world.Could you guys give me some suggestions about the best way to break out of my hermitmode life and do some meaningful solo travelling?I prefer cities and colder / temperate climates.
>>2840293He's an easily influenced retard whos been lead by all the subhuman coomers on this board into thinking the whole point of travel is to go to impoverished countries and try to fuck the local women who are desperate for a greencard.
>>2848421Which city you in?I'd probably lean towards>grab a nice train somewhere>work on some projects on laptop, read a bit on the journey>check into a nice hotel>sign up to some free walking tours>do some normie shit related to something you're interested in, preferably in groups>bring some fast food and beers up to yoru hotel room and have a wank>get train to next location and repeat>fly home
It's scary, should i postpone my travel to Tokyo?If it's like London or Paris now, no thanks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVnLhVmJOFY
>>2847497>I was in shinjuku one month agoI believe you
>>2847497Funny how many people are trying to pretend this isn't real. It really is overrun. Kabukicho in particular, and even Shinookubo.
>>2844091there's probably only ten melanated people in tokyo and they've only taken over an intersection. most major world cities are far worse. pussy.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBYsQE4Pxb4
When I was walking through Kabukicho, some big black dude was trying to rope me into a scam. I just told him I'm cool and he let me go. Obviously I wish it didn't happen, but that's the only time it did, and he wasn't forceful. It's not really a big deal.

I'm planning my next trip to Japan and seeing all the JAPAN IS DESTROYED BY MIGRANTS content is really demoralizing.I'm starting to believe that those are just washed up english teachers who failed their fucking life and who want to gatekeep Japan only for them.

>>2843573You glow so bright, Chang
>>2846497Most intelligent post in this thread.
>>2840366Actually, I'm well respected here. I speak basic Japanese, I always treat people with respect, I understand the culture, and I stay in actual hotels, like a tourist should. This isn't America, tourist, start acting like a traveller.
