Visiting Israel (unironically). Yea or Nay?
>>2828914would you recommend going to EDM festivals in the middle of the desert?
>>2832021Make sure you book a paraglider experience on airbnb. It's absolutely based watching a festival from above. Can pick up easy pussy when you land, too.
Now that the Gaza war is coming to an end, do you think it's safe to go to the region now?Thought it would be cool to go to Jerusalem for Easter
>>2832055Bro there are more dangerous American cities, like Indianapolis. I think you should be good, Cairo is a different story.
>>2823727Unless you’re faking to be Jewish for birthrate or you’re really into religious/historical tourism it’s not worth it. Super expensive. Tel Aviv is overrated. Commieblock architecture and mid tier food that’s watered down versions of other peoples food. Not worth it.

>>2831582This looks awesome, anon. I’ve been traveling through Workaway so I keep finding myself stuck for a month or more in boring spots surrounded by normies. Do you just travel with a tent / sleeping bag and wing it?

Hello anons.I'm flying to Madagascar next week, for a month. Semi-work related, but will mostly backpack around. I'm landing in the capital, will visit Toamasina, Saint Mary's Island, loop around the north and go to Nosy Be.Anyone been there? What to expect? How to prepare? What to see? I speak fluent English, Spanish and my native slavic tongue. Will I be able to communicate with expats/some locals? How dangerous is it in comparison to LatAm?
>>2828661cheers mate. thanks for poasting and hope you enjoyed your trip
>>2829667Thanks. I did enjoy it but it was tiring at times.For the first three days back home I felt like I was in a sci-fi movie lol
>>2829278As the other anon stated, they likely use solar panels for individual use and businesses that need it probably use diesel generators.
Looks like anon left Madagascar just in time. The protests are only intensifying. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/11/madagascar-soldiers-join-antigovernment-protesters-assembled-in-capital
>>2831858I wonder what became of the french friend. He was debating fucking off to reunion or going down to Toliara, he had a 3 month visa. Will provide an update on the situation if he responds
I want to visit here. Mainly Kazakhstan, but I'd like to eventually see all of them. What do I need to know in order to prepare myself? I'm an American who's only traveled in first world, highly English-speaking western countries before. Are these countries cheap? What are the must see places? Do I need a tour guide? Are the cities as lively as the western world? How strict Muslim are they? Is it possible to pick up chicks here?
>>2831285Yep, I agree. Till I got the salt and pepper, every meal was somewhat bland. As for the beshbarmak, yeah had it once to tick a checkbox. And haven't craved it in 2 years.
Thanks American npc for your tragically boring blogpost about Kazakhstan
for uzbekistan, im planing to do a typical tourist tour tashkent, samarkand bukhara,khiva, nukus and to aral sea, two weeks, any recs any
>>2831043plov is so damn good. Especially Uzbek style plov with the little spicy meaty dolmas and quail eggs.>>2831055This, but I'd recommend pic-related more. They're little rye croutons and more popular with the locals. Xpyc Team brand are more chip like, if you can find them. But I loved these meat jelly and horseradish flavored ones the most.
here's a picture of a cat I saw crawl out of a gutter in Dushanbe
Things to do in Ho Chi Minh? Already did most of the tourist stuff but doing the chi chi tunnels tomorrow. Any other ideas? Any advice for how to connect better with locals? Seems like the language barrier is pretty strong in Vietnam.
2 weeks ago I had 4 days in Saigon, wanna know what I did? I did the tunnels on 1 day then sat on the toilet for the remaining days watching netflix because the food fucked me up so bad. My stomach was already fucked and I was taking a walk and saw 3 separate human poo's on the ground (different locations) and then I saw some viet washing some food in the street gutter (I am assuming for one of the one million street vendor spots)
>>2831609You haven't seen dishes done in a dirty pail next to the gutter before? Pretty standard for street food vendors in Asian cities. Spring rolls can easily make you sick, as bacteria multiply on the ingredients inside.
Whats an absolute must do in vietnam? I'm already doing a cruise in ha long bay, sa pa, some stuff on the south like the war tunnels but need more tips
>>2831609You did the tunnels when it was still Saigon? Damn. They really put poisonous snake traps down there? Fuckin horrifying.
>>2831835I prefer to call it Saigon (the locals still do), Ho-Chi Min doesn't really roll of the tongue. How much do you have to love yourself to name a city after yourself?
I'm visiting the US for work and I'll be here info the next 8 months. I always work my local coffee shop which is right next to a college and holy shit, the amount of hot chicks that swarm the campus is unbelieveable. I'm a well off dude that has it together, but can't seem to crack how to get American college women. What's the trick bros? I know so many of them are so open to new experience but frankly I just don't know how to get infront of them. Never really felt like PUA worked. Does anyone here have suggestions?
>>2826082Bruh you don't got a chance with college women unless you pay them. Especially as a temporary foreigner. Especially if you don't already have mad skills w/girls. The real answer to your question regarding how to get a taste of college girls while you are in America is: start a Seeking Arrangement account in the area or something.
>>2826749>because buses are for brokefags or somethinglol>or somethinglmaoPlanes are the buses of the middle class, peasant. Im wrapping up my Caliphate tour right now, big change of plans and I am most disappointed that my Particle Physics and Engineering experiments have been delayed further...I am virtually finished with Theoretical researches and and yearn to move on to Application.
>>2831091>AnonymousGross!After meeting with several members of the Taliban government, one of which was referred to as "His excellency", I did in fact meet with what would have been called "the King's court members" a thousand years ago. It is oriented in a way I wish to have nothing to do with, as it will be an endless hassle of lying, deception, corruption, scamming, effeminate, behavior...I returned to craft a device that could potentially be turned into a weapon, instead I will be surrouned by people who have already lost the warrior's spirit and returned to a soft life of self indulgence.>>2831091>peasantSo this is accurate. One day Im just some "wandering Nobody", the next Im being received by the royal court.Just another day, another Kingdom, all in a Dei's work.
>>2826082Oh, per you pic, I believe she is this, a hybrid of "Tribes". Arranged in the other way than I am, as I believe that it depends on which one was mother/father prior that (probably several generations prior as it reconnects them repeatedly) that defines that final outcome.>but can't seem to crack how to get American college womenA simplex Geometric Cognitive assessment would suffice...but I charge $100,000,000,000,000 an hour, so there is only one "being" that could afford me...and he "owns" the whole world.
Same question as OP, but what if I'm white and American and not autistic?
Which year was your passport issued? How many stamps do you have?Most interesting pages?My passport was issued in 2020 and has 27 stamps, 15 of those being entry stamps. The first page has stamps from:>Colombia>Mexico>Philippines>Taiwan>UAE
>>2829808You always have to push your passport flat against your leg to get something else in the same pocket, or risk damaging the pages. Or else, be a Cargo Chad and keep your passport in a velcro side pocket.
>>2829828nah
>>2826293it depends on the country. ireland is still stampin' i can attest to that
>>2826293>>2830577don't know why the UK doesnt, at least not Heathrow airport
>>2829913>no tasteWhat a faggoty insult. Men dress for practicality, women and faggots dress to be perceived as desirable. Back pockets should not be used in a crowd, plus your ass sweat soaks into anything kept in them. This leaves two front pockets for four items (bandana, wallet, phone, passport). Not enough space, especially with the GAY clothing manufacturers who want your junk to be printing on your trousers and thus equip them with ridiculous women's sized pockets.
Anyone ever drive from the north to Florida? Looking to do this route from Toronto to Miami next spring to go to an event.The last two years I've flown and the flight goes for $3-400CAD and the car rental is about $3-400 CAD for the week. Is it retarded to consider driving down instead? I've driven upto 16 hours in one straight shot before.
>>2828698done the reverse. unless you REALLY LOVE driving, just fly bro
>>2828698Just fly unless you have time to kill and want to save on a rental car. Its a boring drive unless you take the alternate route listed and detour to Pigeon Forge for Dollywood and other peak Americana or really want to see a Buccees.
>>2830523Most I've ever driven in one day was 950 miles on I-40 from El Reno, Oklahoma to the hills west of Kingman, Arizona. The biggest downside of those marathon drives, any construction delays or traffic jam will leave you punching the wheel in frustrated rage at the wasted time. Driving vast distances in pursuit of opportunity can be a very empowering experience if you haven't done it before. Of course, it can also be a tremendous letdown when something falls through and you find yourself roughing it somewhere out in the California desert, alone and unwanted, no idea of where to go or what to do next. Everyone else is living their busy little lives, but you are left out.
>>2828698take the amtrak down to miami
The added cost of gas will be over $200. You also need several meals and probably a hotel room along the way. Not to mention that Miami is a nightmare to drive around in and there's a high likelihood that the rental might get damaged by some illegal in Florida with no insurance. All that aside, it's not a fund drive. West Virginia is extremely boring. I95 is terrible. The alternative route through Detroit Cincinnati and Atlanta is arguably worse. So fly.

>>2831184Duhh, pic now actually related
>>2830918best case scenario maybe... worst case scenario is like 45 minutes+
>>2828672Check one carry one. Carry-on should have one day's stuff and the stuff you can't effectively travel without just in case checked baggage gets lost

The Egyptian Government here...Who's gonna come to the Grand Egyptian Museum? Will open in 30 days lmao
>>2831269>>2831262I'm planning to go to Dahab for diving but I have literally zero interest in antiquities. What's the one experience that might convert me, philistine that I am?
>>2831495Dahab is a great place. The only old shit nearby iirc is St Catherine's Monastery, where the 'burning bush' is. If you want to see the old shit in Egypt you'l lhave to either:>fly from Sharm to Cairo/Luxor/Aswan>get overnight bus for 10 hours to Cairo>IF it's operating (I think it's not), get the ferry from Sharm to Hurghada, then 4(?) hour bus to LuxorNote that Sinai and Egypt are 2 different places for visa purposes. You MUST ask at Sharm Airport for a full Egyptian visa when you land to cross the Suez Canal to 'Egypt'. (Else you'll be fucking around in police stations). It's €/£/$20. Can also be done online now I think.----Regarding 'converting' you. Most faggots just turn up, look at old shit, take photos, and fuck off, and it's a bit of a waste of time.There's 2 routes I'd suggest:>1. Learning the basics of the history, so when you see shit you can actually appreciate it in context. I'd recommend listening 'Fall of Civilizations' podcast on Egypt for 'the story' of the nation. If you get into it, it'll be 'relatively' exciting seeing old shit for real, and piecing things together.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2831495>>2831531The '''experiences''' I can recommend from experience are>1. Sleeping Overnight at Abu SimbelYou get a convoy down to the Sudanese border from Aswan, and most fags get 4 hours or so looking around. Far more kino to get an Airbnb, then have the entire place to yourself in the evening. You can get a boat ride on Lake Nasser and see Abu Simbel from afar at sunset. It'll pretty much just you, on the border of the Roman world, with Rameses to keep you company.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Simbel>2. Dahshur and Saqarra.Everybody goes to Giza Pyramids. But there's looooaddss of others. Dahshur and Saqarra complexes host the older iterations of the pyramid and you can actually see them in various states of technological advancement and condition.Also there's nobody there. You get to have a pyramid pretty much to yourself. You can also pay '''''''police''''''' hadly anything to pose with their guns, ride their quad bikes around, or climb them. You can pay a tuktuk to take you back to the city for dirt cheap, and actually see the real Cairo zipping through traffic.>3. Cycling Valley of the KingsComment too long.

>>2831495If you wanna stay in Sinai, I haven't actually done it. But some people hike up Mount Sinai. Apparently it's where Moses received the 10 commandements. It's near St Catherines Monastery.https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Mount_SinaiIt's arguably the birthplace of Abrahamic faith, so is pretty important. Would be closer and easier for you to pull off.You've also got Petra nearby. You can get the ferry from Nuweiba to Aqaba (nice journey) and feels adventurous. Haven't done it but heard if you AirBnB in Petra, you get 'local advice' on hidden places and paths, and can totally avoid the tourist crowds.Fall of Civilizations podcast has an episode on the "Nabataens" which is kino, too.
>>2831495I'm the other guy asking for Egypt advice, but have you seen any videos on the new museum? Maybe check if that sparks something, it's pretty damn impressive, it's the biggest museum in the world.
I've been traveling for some years as a hobo. I've been all over europe and america. I'm homeless, poor, and ill. My condition gets slightly worse every year and causes me constant pain every day. There is no apparent cure or effective treatment for my issues. I'm profoundly sad and miserableThis isn't a pity or complaint post. Rather, I'd like to do something to feel alive during my last couple years. My one thing I'm good at is stealth camping, bushcraft, and traveling long distances on foot off-trail through difficult terrain. I am thinking about going on extreme trips and going to dangerous locations and filming it. I don't care where it is or how dangerous it is, I would rather die doing something cool that no one else has done rather than slowly fade away to illness and poverty.I am currently writing down every idea I can think of. I want to do things that are>Exciting, invigorating, make me feel something>The more dangerous the better>Fun to watch if I record it>Not something that multiple people have already done (or at least not filmed)
Mauritania iron ore train, or hike the length of the Atlas Mountains, there's a lot in africa you could do. Try to sneak into the Polisario controlled sahara zone, no white has ever succeeded.>>2831483That would be fun to watch, the last guy had his footage confiscated.
>>2831397Why not try out winter in Siberia or live like nomadic people in Mongolia? You'd need to set up your yurt, take it town and move it if you had no resources nearby, hunt for food, secure water, make money if you need to buy anything by catching reindeer and selling the antlers. Seems like survival.>>2831483If you do bring some diseases to wipe them out so the land can go to good use.
>>2831397> stealth campingWhat are you doing if you are a loud snorer?
>>2831397Some ideas off top of head:>Abandoned mining towns in Svalbard>Have the island of St Kilda (off the Scotish coast) all to yourself>Bir Tawail - unclaimed land between Egypt and Sudan, desert nothingness>Halaib Triangle - the disputed territory next door. Camel traders>Al Aweinat - tripoint between Egypt, Libya and Sudan. Ancient rock carvings. WW2 ruins. Geologically interesting>Central African Republic - anarchy warzone apparently. Russian '''Afrika Corps''' roaming around >Cities in northern Chad. Lots of interesting mountain oasis towns with forts and stuff>Ambazonia = anglophone part of Cameroon who want independence>Socotra = ecologically and geologically interesting island owned by Yemen, but UAE recently said gibmedat and nobody blinked>Namibia Skeleton Coast = absolute wilderness desert for miles and miles along the coast>South Namibia = apparently hard to go to because its full of mines and resources and shit>Chitral Valley in Pakistan = modern day pagans larping as descendants of Alexander the Great.

is it worth going to seville in december, travelling with long term gay friend
>>2831116Being against homosexual degeneration is not being homophobic but being normal. Most homosexuals are degenerates and full of PSTDs.
>>2830305spain is insanely fucking gay anon. what you're describing might happen in eastern europe, not in rainbow covered spain where the capital has a dedicated homosexual district in the heart right above gran via filled with shops with gay fetish gimp gear on display on every street. wtf?t. lived in spain for 8 years
>>2831246Those are just leftists. Rural Spain is conservative and antiglobohomo.Lgtb, etc, has been tyrannically imposed by the socialist scum political party out of the blue without previous consultation. Then they later use the media (paid by them with public money) to brainwash people to support their ideological agenda: feminism, lgtb, inmigrationism, etc. Nobody gave a fuck in Spain about gays until the socialist scum started to promote and fund their organizations.
>>2831246it's true, it seems like every homo from LATAM moved to Madrid
>>2831246well, I guess you are likely to get a fist in one way or another so the point still stands

I am an American and am about to enter a field which highly relies on security clearances. However, I met a girl on-line who lives in Iran and I really like to visit her in the foreseeable future, so I can meet her family and see if they approve of me. I do have a few questions, though.Would I be welcome there as an American? Will police (or the IRGC) bother me? Would I get detained or interrogated upon my return to America? Would doing this void my security clearance? What if I made this trip multiple times?
>>2831372Simple: who was the citizenship of a Western country?Sounds pathetic, but that is my greatest asset, since I am not smart and it is obvious that I will only ever be trusted with lower level roles and lower pay anyway (which is still good money, so if it keeps the lights on and gets me fed and watered, then I am satisfied). Does not help that I am generally abrasive (not condescending like the other anons said) and have a short temper for that matter either.>Why don't you get better?I went to anger management classes for 12 years and it fixed nothing.
