I'm trying to decide where to travel and spend around 2–3 months (starting this mid August). I currently live in the UK, but I'm originally from Chile.Right now, I'm looking for places where I can rent a private room for under £600 per month. I'm especially interested in places with rich folklore and history, not just beautiful landscapes, but also interesting people, architecture, and local myths. I'm an artist, and I want to paint these places and learn about their stories.I've already spent a month in Japan 5 years ago, and it was beautiful. I'd love to go back someday, but I'm not sure my current lifestyle and the kind of trip I want right now really fit Japan.Scotland has really caught my attention, especially because of the weather and Edinburgh.Eastern Europe also interests me a lot, mainly because I'm fascinated by Brutalist architecture, and it seems like it could be much more affordable.I'm open to any suggestions! If you know of a place with a strong folklore tradition, beautiful architecture, and a reasonable cost of living, I'd love to hear about it.
You get 2-3 months of vacation? Is that normal for the UK?
Any second city in the in Latvia or Lithuania. Great places to fuck off for a few months. Anyone who says you can't get a room for 650 Euros a month in Daugavpils or Kaunas is retarded. Great folklore and unique pagan cultures and plenty of abandoned old soviet brutalism.
>>2895181No way you got something for that price in Taiwan without it being a literal homeless shelter
>>2895396yesterday i went to a restaurant and they tried to give me the english menu because it has higher prices. i guess the whole country is like that
>>2895254like 8 holidays and 20 days vacation

Is the DR a safe holiday destination? Although I've read the DR has a relatively normal crime rate that consists of only petty crime but is this true? Can anyone who's been confirm? Would you have any advice? How can I not make myself a victim? Which area should I stay out of?
>>2893487For Latin Americans standards it’s very safe, which means that you are probably going to be fine so long you avoid the sketchy areas and alleyways where you aren’t going to get robbed by guys on motorcycles but you should take care to avoid anyplace where it’s clear you’re unwelcome. Use common sense
>>2893487As long as you don't explore too far and end up in Haiti, you should be safe.
>>2893763Haiti needs more /trv/ reporting
>>2893487The crime rate really isn't that high for the whole country. If you stay in the resort and don't go out then the risk is even lower.However it's dirt poor and the food/water is gross and will give you diarrhea.
The Dominican Republic is actually a very popular destination for middle-class white Canadians. If these oblivious cunts can do it, so can you.
What should i do? Btw I'm not a pensioner so I'm not interested museums and parks.
>>2883618Japan is currently in the rainy season. Not only does it drizzle almost every day, but disasters can also be triggered by typhoons, torrential rains, and flash floods, which can significantly disrupt travel plans.
>>2891084Leave me alone dude
>>2890935johnny somali got away with shit like that all the time and only got 6 months in jail, not even prison.sometimes justice be whack.
>>2890935It's all believable to me because the poster said he had been on tren. First time I've ever encountered a tren story that involved international travel.
>>2883618bump
Is there anything worth seeing in the Deep South?
>>2894878White town fabulous, black town you dont have drinking water
>>2894912I dunno. I judge towns based on if they have young people 15-30 running around enjoying themselves. Towns that are just decaying boomers are not "fabulous" and there's a lot of those>but you are just a touristso be itgeorgia has a decent amount of money, but it varies widely, alabama is poorer, I've not been to miss
>>2894878If you aren't working in a soon-to-close rural hospital or part of the good ol boy network, job opportunities will be few and far between. While the white revitalized small towns can be quite nice, they aren't that much cheaper relative to the mediocre salaries and limited to nonexistent growth potential.I think Northern Mississippi is quite beautiful, and has nice weather imo. Laurel is quite pretty. Oxford is a college town and atypical, but the Ole Miss campus and grounds are beautiful for a stroll.
>>2894878Pretty quiet.Hunting and Fishing are the main pastimes. Some people get really into their child's sport, and travel all over for their games.The water tower doubles a celltower. Food options are limited at the local supermarket.Drugs can be a problem, specifically meth for the working class.Dudes will also hang around pool halls and smoke weed and play PC games too.

RIP Fun Spot Atlanta and ArieForce One Edition>Last Thread: >>2886860Summer season is now on!>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely!

>>2895776Its pretty sad. I read he never married because he had to raise his sister. Here he's with her and his neices. They used to attack him in the media all the time. Good God the media is so evil. He only had 1.4 million to his name when he died when so he was uncorrupt.
Has anyone been to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in NorCal recently? Last time I went (pre-COVID) there was zero shade and the marriage of zoo and theme park was haphazard at best. Wondering if it's worth a revisit since I'm in that neck of the woods right now.
>>2894525This video is amazing. He starts breathing heavily after he fell in the water. I was scared for him but I get why he wanted to preserve the footage.
If you weren't financially stable or earning a lot less than what you currently are, would you be willing to go into debt to fund international trips? I heard that this is a new trend zoomers are getting into, getting into credit card debt in order to travel, which is why I'm asking.
Everyone does this
Absolutely based. I wish I did that rather than working and saving and having opportunities pass.
>>2894932i've been abroad for 9 months off of 6 months of entry level minimum wageonly literal retards can't into stacking money
>>2894932Some people really can't help themselves. I made a very shit wage 18-23 and still spent a combined 10 months abroad over that period, while paying full rent while away. Just save money, live within your means and it becomes not that hard
>>2894932Nope. If you live in squalor it’s too easy to save money. If you have to finance your travel instead of just spending less/saving more, you’re a pathetic rodent
Is Zion as good as everyone says it is? How was your experience there? I visited The Grand Canyon earlier this year and I'm thinking of visiting Zion next
It's fun when the weather is below 85. It gets brutally hot in the summer. In the spring, you can't do the narrows because the river level is almost always too high after the snow melt. In the winter, the river is too cold to hike the narrows. So you really should do it in the fall. You need a permit to do Angel's landing which is the second best bike in the park after the Narrows. The campground in Zion is terrible because they don't have showers. If you're asking me, I'd tell you to go to Yosemite National Park first if you've never done it. Stay in Curry Village. If you want to do Utah, go to Arches and stay in Moab. Bring a mountain bike and go ride some trails. Go rafting in Moab. Check out Canyonlands.
>>2894858It's quite beautiful but it's a victim of it's own success. When I visited there in the spring, two years ago, the main paved area that goes to the narrows, and some of the more accessible hiking trails felt like Disneyland levels of crowding. Also europoors and various other subhuman races don't know how to comport themselves in nature, so there was a lot of garbage and litter strewn about and lots of the subhumans graffiti on the rocks. I had high expectations but the reality was quite a letdown. The best part of my visit was hiking deep in the trails. Subhumans don't go anywhere that they didn't see on TikTok already, so if you follow the trails for more than a mile or two you have them basically all to yourself.
Where's the best Latin American country to bag a wife as a blonde American? I'm thinking Colombia but aren't they kinda retarded?
>>2888364>I'm thinking Colombia but aren't they kinda retarded?Yes, but you'll be IQ matched so it's fine
>>2888364Blonde Timmy DORK*Ftfy
If you want to end up scammed and drugged in polluted river, sure, come here to fund your hot trad wife who won’t by no means take advantage of you
Based entirely off my experience with hookersParaguay > Brazil > Argentina > Chile > Colombia > Venezuela
>>2888364>but aren't they kinda retardedand you think it's gonna be any different in any other latiniggerican country? lmao
a thread to discuss traveling by train, why it is the best, and how to do it better.railrat.net - amtraktrains.fyi - all the trains
>>2887238ESL always confusing "how long is the distance to the destination" with "how long does it take to get there". Time is not distance. The average traveler would not want to walk farther than 5 km or 3 mi from a point of transit to his destination.
>>2890388its like driving, distance isnt as important as time. the differences arent as bad because theres usually not much traffic on foot but difficult highway crossings or bad neighborhoods can stretch 1 mile into 30 minutes.
bump for trains rights
>>2885611>The trans Siberianlollmao even
>>2890165>Taking the train in Africa is so captivating in theory but in reality it’s impossiblethis video of a train ride in democratic republic of the congo seems to basically agreehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t6Rie4Fz_Iit's kind of grimly fascinating and also kind of amazing that the train doesn't just derail at like 50 places in the video
hotels are like 80% of the cost of travelling
>>2894844Flights? Also, slum it in the Motel 6
>>2894855>>2894857You nigs both suck at finding cheap lodging and then blame the world lmao.

Have any amerimutts done a masters in Europe? I am a selfhating burger and want a reason to fuck off to Europe for an extended period of time and get something beneficial out of it, and possibly relocate. My field is a discipline in engineering if it helps.I am late 20s and frankly want to expand my social opportunities as well too. Is the burger hate in Europe as pronounced as it is online? I have met a few along my travels and I find them hit or miss. What are some good uni cities/towns that I can make friends and meet women at? (I am not a friendless inkwell back home)
bump
Stay in murica and make money until you’ve enough to be relatively independent and then move where future prospects are solid enough.As a yuropoor I unfortunately see no economic or political stability in near term for Europe and tension with Russia are at an all time high .For all the hate America gets , it’s still has socio economic mobility where as in Europe people are stuck and its Claus Schwab cucked politicians are hellbent on destroying their own people for whatever reptilian-banking elite cabal that is standing behind them .A lot of things are shit in America but Europe has completely lost its plot by now.
>>2894849>Is the burger hate in Europe as pronounced as it is online?i was there in 2010s in italy.it wasnt then.the people who know enough english and are excited to speak it to you kind of self select for the people you'd do most of your interaction with.
>>2894849Milano has a good university but the city kinda sucks nowadays, Toulouse has a good uni for engineering too (especially when it comes to aerospace) and it's a nicer place. I've heard good things about Aachen as well, and most university cities in northern Europe in general should be quite pleasant places.That said if your motivation to move is hating your own country you might end up being disappointed, no place is perfect and in a foreign country the issues will be compounded by the cultural barrier.Also I think that when it comes to post-grad stuff american institutions are generally more prestigious>>2894917I don't think that anything has changed in that regard, the people that I know usually like Americans and you are known to be good tourists, usually the most disliked travelers are other Italians because they are the most entitled ones lol
>>2894849>What are some good uni cities/towns that I can make friends and meet women at?I liked Leipzig, Ghent, Bologna and some of the mid size uni cities in Spain and France>Is the burger hate in Europe as pronounced as it is online?No, lol, average euros seem pretty indifferent about americans if you personally aren't loud and obnoxious about how great you think america is compared to their country
What is Palma, Spain like?
>>2880354its nice
Great for /cyc/
>>2880354...a well known tourist trap?
>>2880354So you missed this year's Nit de Sant Joan. Let's make sure to add it to your travel plans for next year.

Trying to plan a walking tour of Portugal for 2 or 3 weeks in October and November. Does anyone have tips for cool natural areas or villages, as well as Roman ruins and Spa towns?
I would also love any experience people have had with the weather in Northern vs Southern Portugal at this time. It seems like most of the shit I wanna do is in the North, but the weather seems a bit wetter and cooler there as well.
