I am an 18 year old German male on a 4 week Trip to the USA, i am currently in Kansas with a friend. We are planning to drive through Oklaholma and texas to new mexico and Arizona as we want to see the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. is there anything you would suggest we do or tips you could give us?I am planning on bringing spare clothing and lots of Water incase we get stuck, along with a few hundred dollars for merchandise/souvenirs
>>2904579I don't know if you are using Motel generally or you are specifically seeking out Motels in major cities, but they're generally not ideal outside of small towns. In bigger cities they're kind of known to be inhabited by drug addicts and prostitutes.For those big city stays, I would probably book a hotel through a travel website like hotels.com and ensure it has good reviews to avoid ending up in a sketchy part of the city. Airbnb and Vrbo are options too.
Alright we are driving back after our rear mirror fell off, we got to wichita. My friend said we wilk have to take a greyhound bus.
>>2904631
>>2904631Babbys first road trip
>>2904648yes actually, i have never been on a roadtrip before so this has been pretty eventful, i feel sort of bummed out since if we go by train or bus we wont be able to spend any time in any other cities but its come to a point where im just happy to get there.
I am former UKSF and went into early retirement at 37 after several wear and tear injuries to my knees, shoulder, back and neck from 17 years total in the forces. I had saved my entire career and bought a house so things are not so bad. However i never went to school and was in foster care and juvenile as a kid so no education thus no real career prospects post service. Ive had offers for private sector but it always involved some form of physical capacity readiness being required. I got a job offer 5 days ago, from the Mexican Government, through a private contractor which is basically acting as a joint sector paramilitary and essentially acts as a training force for mex army and private outfit armsec work and a taskforce for smash and grab in juarez and Tijuana. The job requires no field work and is simply to organize and structure and train new members of said task force, standardizing the mex army and contractor enlisted in basic tactics and operational procedure. Offer is I start 6 months away as of tomorrow, pay is £116k a year, with paid quarters, food and supplementary spending money and a car. I have to be at C1 level in spanish and there is a test. How would you learn if you can't travel to mexico beforehand? I am contractually obligated to a security firm right now and it does not end until 4 months away so I have to be in Northern Ireland for it, its only an advisory position but I am contractually obligated to be on site twice a week.I have nothing to do all day apart from two days a week I go on site for 4 hours each day. I am willing to do whatever it takes to learn spanish. The contract is for 2 years at 116k a year, plus 100k upon the completion of my contract, plus residency in Mexico and a government subsidized option on a mortgage for a house in mexico city. Basically life changing stuff. Also plays well for American work along the border in the future think corporate security. Any travelers got good language tips, I have bad ADHD

>>2901871why do veterans always have to announce that they're veterans? No one cares about your murderous impulses faggot.
>>2902652Because it's the same mentally ill UK neet that also posted this >>2902019 mentally ill larp and pretty much every single mexico full retard larp thread in the last 10 years on 4chins. [-]
Awesome, OP. Nothing I can say you don't already know. Study your ass off, maybe start befriending a local Spanish speaking bartender? I'm 36 military reject I'd kill to be you, man
dreaming spanish is the way
I used to ignore that idea for years but racism has made me a better person. I see the smiles brown people give me when a White guy visits there store or restaurant, I notice my White privilege every day. I'm a pretty polite and courteous person by upbringing but I've noticed as I've become more racist, I give up my seat to the elderly Chinese lady knowing that I'm reinforcing the stereotype that White European are gentlemen. Just today, in a 7/11 in Taiwan. I'm sitting on a still drinking a coffee, no other seats free - an old lady comes and greets her friend. I offer her my seat and leave with my coffee. Today she thought >What a kind and courteous White manYou know what she's unlikely to have ever said to herself?>What a kind and courteous Indian Are you watering the flowers of White privilege anon?
>>2904397Okay I will put it simple:No no one but pol brained retards think "yup gotta show the good of the white race" instead of being politeYour OP is cringe because the reasons and rebuttals you gave ITT and for this thread are beyond dumb
>>2904399I'm not even reading that. I doubt you're discussing the point. Stop obsessing man. We both know that's in your patient profile. Ignoring all posts from this autist.
>>2904376Congratulation you autism level has increased.
>>2904432This OP feels like the "white European" who has to remind people he is white aka turkish/middle east/indian halfu is really white trust me! kind of stuff. No one else would actually think about how they did a good deed for the white race in public other than them, and if you are white OP and do this you're so autistic if hurts. Do you also take into considerations to bow before entering the 711? Gotta get those good white race updooterino points!
Why can't you share that white politeness here?
Why is Hawaii like this? Especially Oahu. Every hotel is a souless husk indiscernable from hotels in the middle of Nebraska. I would challenge you to find ANYTHING like the top image in Waikiki.
>>2904412All depends on the housekeepers. Deep cleaning is very tiresome but necessary on a regular basis. If the boss neglects to assign this task on slow days, the rooms will accumulate grime...and the longer it accumulates, the tougher it is to get clean again.
>>2904454>>2904412I will say, even in the shittiest airbnbs they do tend to be clean even if they are horrific flophouses otherwise with cheap mattresses, flimsy towels, unlabeled light switches that don't work etc. I've had a couple airbnbs with mold or cobwebs or dust but that's pretty rare. One was a doublewide trailer I rented on a holiday weekend cuz everything else was booked or outrageously expensive. It hadn't been used in months and one of 2 toilets was busted until they came to repair it and it was a little dusty, the other was a shady jewish man from ny with somehow multiple airbnbs in wv and it was a little faded. But most are clean!Also airbnb hosts are neurotic af and will ding you if you leave ice in the freezer or don't take out the trash so guests tend to be decent.
>>2903867Hawaii would be a 3rd world country w/o the U.S. imperial seizure. They have to ship everything in.The island is rife with violent meth heads and natives bitter about this. Their high schools have an annual "Kill Haole (foreigners)" day where they target white students for assaults.BJ Penn (before he lost it to some sort of drug induced psychosis) talked about how his own daughter was constantly challenged to fight at school just for being a UFC guy's daughter.Them being peaceful, laid-back chill braddah's is a psyop.
>>2904459They wouldn't have meth heads if America didn't bring meth heads there, to be fair. Meth heads aren't really a thing in most of the world.
>>2904463people keep memeing that appalachia is all meth'd out and in my experience oregon and the west coast is wayyyyyy more methy in part cuz there's so much less daylight in the pac nw and it makes people depressedI mean appalachian hollers in winter don't get much light but its not quite the same as inland pac nw. ive seen some dudes high on meth at the grocery store in extreme southern wv but really that's it in terms of obvious tweaker behavior other than homeless wandering around in some areas>Meth heads aren't really a thing in most of the world.um speed is really popular in germany/netherlands and in the philippines and much of sea
is this the beginning of the end for aman?
>>2902461I'm just wondering who gets "influenced" by themand actually starts booking with them because they saw their post on r*dditif you're staying in 5-10k/night suites, you likely have a 200k+ yearly travel budgetwhy the fuck would you go to a personified hotel booking engineunless they start harassing the hotel / GM for your sake (which they won't) you will get exactly the same staywhen r/chubbytravel started it was betteruntil the TA mod got shitty as wellalso 500-3k/night hotels are usually not a giant waste of money like Amangiri or similarand now r/truechubbytravel is just gossip about the other shitty shill travel subs, without much content making it shitty as welli swear, the in person travel offices where my parents went with me 20y ago every time I wanted to go to some place I saw in National geographic are much less shitty / shady than these subs (which could be much much better in theory)

>>2902618>try living in a normal hotel for 2 months>I hope they take my secrets to the graveluxury hotels like aman are much better in that regard, even though they have much more staffnormally you will never see the staff, they work around your dayonce you get used to stuff just happening invisibly to you, it actually feels a lot more private than a regular hotelalso bigger, most spaced apart rooms / bungalows (like you often have in Aman resorts)make it even more privatestaff you don't see is much easier to block out mentally than other guests you cross ways with and where you see there room(door)
>>2902596>I'm just wondering who gets "influenced" by them>and actually starts booking with them because they saw their post on r*dditthat site basically acts as an unlimited third party brand content farm for search engines. lot of results come up, especially for travel searches, and those rich enough not to waste all their time on the internet are more likely to trust those posts, even what would be clearly seen as paid guerilla marketing by others, as organic because they don't know any better
I want to travel to South Korea in January for about 2-3 weeks. I intend on spending as little time in Seoul/Busan/Jeju as possible and I enjoy hiking and wandering around small villages. For reference of what I like, I recently came back from Japan and did the Shimanami Kaido and hiked around Yakushima Island.Are there any winter festivals or events held in January I should consider? Should I consider skiing even though I've never done it before?

been to Rio a couple time never gone to São Pauloheard its pretty expensive, but not NYC expensive right? anyway I'm planing on a month long trip in November what are some interesting things to see/do while there?
Lived there all my life before moving recently, and honestly this guy is right >>2903101 but if you really wanna go, here's some few things to do perhaps.There's some museums around the city you could plan taking a look at (MASP, Pinacoteca)If you kinda like nature but don't wanna stray away from the concrete jungle, parks are a nice spot to walk around (Ibirapuera, Vila Lobos)Maybe you don't wanna stray too much into nature, go check out some malls around there.If you like asian culture(mostly jp oriented but also some kr and cn commerces there), there's Liberdade, but avoid going there on weekends, it's packed and awful to walk around.uhhh beaches are also nice if you're into that, just be aware of brownoids trying to scam you, which I'm sure you're aware since you've been to Rio before;I'll just ask one thing to keep in mind. Don't give any attention to beggars, avoid listening to their sob story, just tell you're busy and running late to something. São Paulo has a LOT of those, and most are there to make a quick and easy buck out of you.
>>2903101how poor are you guys what the hell?sao paulo was great i could eat steak like every damn meal for $10. some very cool bars too. lots and lots of gayd though
>>2903144It looks a lot like Tokyo the way the buildings are built, and how it is a massive spread out city. Also, Sao Paulo, Brazil has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.
>>2903998yeah it's not bad. that same steak would be half the price in the interior though. that's the thing, if you're gonna be in macaco land it feels off to be paying similar prices to places back home. decent restaurants in SP are similar in price to the US, the difference is they have a plethora of places on the lower end whereas back home it's just fast food goyslop that's not even that cheap anymoreI will say that the girls are way better there than in rio, both in terms of looks and personality. and the nightlife is quite good
I drove in and out of there last year and took a road trip to Rio along the coast. Other than doing some shopping in Bras, I just transitted through it. It didn't feel like I missed much tbqh, also the traffic was the worst I've ever experienced, It felt like the drive from Rio to SP was less than the drive from the outskirts of SP to Guarulhos airport.If you want something different explore the coast of Sao Paulo and Rio, it is really underrated and I didn't see any other tourists there when I went in June. Paraty had tourists but other places like Sao Sebastiao/Ilhabela was all locals.
How is the south of Spain for vagabond lifestyle?
>>2903004Don't forget that it's feminazi hellhole.
>>2902789You never see them in walking videos because browns/blacks are almost invisible at night.
>>2902789why do you people lie like this, it's easily verifiable that any western european urban area is a no go zone after dark.
Spain is very tolerant of vagabonds and squatters, they have entire shanty towns that officially don't exist desu but the country and weather isn't and it's either hyper urban with all the urban problems or totally rural with all the rural place problems with almost nothing in between.
>>2904220Yeah it's a weird thing here, we have communities of "off-grid" foreign hippies in places like Orgiva and Las Negras who have lived there for decades but somehow haven't been evicted. These are more campo-based settlements so their ability to piss off affluent pijos is a bit lower, I guess. We, the Spanish people, tend to hate these people since they tend to live in lumpenproletariat enclaves that 1. contribute nothing to the national or local ecomomy 2. do not integrate with spanish culture 3. often participate in petty crime such as drug dealing and tax evasion. These urban squatters (okupas) are another matter, they are a pest for everyone but themselves. I live in Granada and we had some squatting in my barrio and the local wouldn't evict them so eventually a group of gitanos broke in and beat put the fear of god in them. The place was already semi derelict but when the okupas left and the gitanos trashed it, it was more or less uninhabitable.
Burger here. EU anons I need some advice on a trip for next summer. My plan is to spend two weeks going Prague->Vienna->Budapest by train and then a short flight to Tallinn. Second half of the trip I'll take a ferry to Helsinki to stay with a friend. I am moving to the EU in the near future so the real goal of this trip is to scope out where I'd like to stay.Are there any changes I should make to this? I'm considering skipping Tallinn to spend more time in the other three. I'm looking at 5 days Prague, 3 Vienna, 3 Budapest, 2 Tallinn. I'm a work from home autist looking for a quieter place to live where I can get by without a car. Open to visiting other countries or smaller cities. Any suggestions? Personal experiences?
>>2902338You like living in a 50% Muslim city?
>>2900656>Tallinn???But why?Prague, Vienna and Budapest are close enough to each other. But then you randomly cross the entirety of Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia just to get to one small and not widely popular city?I get that you're flying, but why do you want to visit that one particular place? I'd assume you found a dirt cheap flight back home from there but then again you're considering skipping it.
>>2900656Im from budapest and I will never understand why are tourists coming here.
>>2900656>never been to eu>already decided to move there>does not even know which country would be any goodyeah, how about you don't. you're not welcome here.>>2904189bro, the kebab. the kebab, bro.>>2904194nah, Pest is a cool place for a few days
>>2900656How long are you staying in Helsinki? If it helps, Hawaii is quiet in parts and has.... existing public transport. Canada could work. In every European country sans the UK, Ireland and Malta you are going to be up against a language barrier depending on what you do, do you have that in mind when considering moving?I've been to all of the places that you've mentioned. Prague is incredibly easy for a tourist to indulge in all the main attractions as they're largely situated on one road, outside that its main appeal is nightlife. I personally didn't find the city itself that interesting to warrant more than a couple of days but I still use it to break up longer flights and its a good base to see other areas of the Czech republic, which is a nice plan-B to have in mind should you tire of the city. I think 4 is good. I went to Brno once and Bunker 10-Z in Brno is a pretty cool experience, the city itself is nice too but more importantly - Brno has a convenient rail line into Bratislava. Bratislava is no more than a daytrip, but it is VERY close to Vienna such that you may as well border-hop from there. 3 days in Vienna is sufficient, its a great city though I do think the Austrian country and Alpine scenery has more appeal to its capital. 3 days in Budapest is fine. 2 days in Tallinn depends on how you're spending it. Tallinn doesn't have many attractions but its old town is pretty, still its a day trip, if you're going to the forests then maybe consider another day, otherwise hop to Helsinki.>>2901454...Or basically follow this dude, he has the right idea! Kutna Hora should not be skipped if you're in Prague imo.
What's it like to travel in Russia?
>>2904190Yes i know the UK, Germany and France are overrun with muslims. The question is why did they import 100 million of them to terrorize their own citizens? Its only going to get worse but even niw they are horrible places for tourists. That's why i like Russia
>>2904230>why did they import 100 million of them to terrorize their own citize—*ACK*!!!!

I work in finance but I can imagine most white foreigners get relegated to teaching English which I'm fine with if that's the only option. How much can you earn teaching english and what other job opportunities could a foreigner fall into?
>>2903471Cheers mate.Is this viable if you didn't graduate from a Russel Group uni? I graduated with a bachelors in Economics from a mid tier uni.How intense is this course? Is the workload bearable with a ft job?
>>2903490If you have that kind of money you can just retire anyway? Just buy another house and live from rent?
>>2903501i don't know what it is like doing a part-time PGCE but at some point they make you do >in total the programme must include 120 days school experience.as a placement in a school so that is likely hard with a FT job but there will be common solutions to it. the better the uni you graduated from the better the school will see you but the demand is always there and some very expensive schools in China, which is where my experience is, are hiring africans because they cannot find western people and they are paying good salaries.

>>2903504landlording sucks, especially single occupancy structures. you either do all the listing and marketing, maintenance, collection, eviction yourself or you pay a company to do it for you. by that time you're not really making significant income between nonoccupancy periods between tenants and the cut the rental company will take, even if you pay cash instead of mortgaging

What are some countries for a recently unemployed American to go to for a month for some good hiking/scenery and good food?Thinking about New Zealand, Chile/Argentina, Spain, Germany, American Samoa or somewhere else? What do you think?
>>2902435I'd recommend Argentina. It's kind of expensive, weirdly, but nice.
>>2902435Another place for fucking faggots like you to take their shitty photo and feel special.Fuck you, NPC consoomer faggot, you're not a real human.
>>2903609kek I've been in that exact spot, waiting in line so my gf can get a Photo™. There was even a helicopter landing nearby doing a wedding shoot. That walk is only popular because it's fairly easy and right next to town, drive an extra hour and you can be in uninhabited world-class /out/
>>2902435What kind of hiking are you planning. Sleeping in a tent outside of camping is forbidden in Spain, vivac is still allowed. Food close to the mountains are mostly stews or heavily based on meats. If you're a vegan you are out of luck. There are a couple of desert areas in the main plateau (Tabernas) and close to the southern coast (Almeria).You could try "El camino de santiago", there are several routes, the people I know they've walked it usually used about three weeks.Whatever you do, take some time in planning, permits and insurance.
>>2903609how bitter do you have to be to jump to this far of a conclusion when OP simply just asked for places with good nature and hikes?your brain is full of mashed potatoes.
After the war is over, I want to visit the Middle East. Which country do you recommend visiting? I am considering Turkey and Iraq, but I feel Turkey is the normie option and Iraq is the hardcore Middle East experience that will allow me to witness the real Middle East.
>after the war is overKek
What war? Trump declared victory a few months ago.
>>2903923iraq isn't hardcore. at most you need a guide who will drive you to some cities you can't easily get to by yourself. you can walk around Baghdad, or could before the us bombed iran, just fine.
>>2903923IstanbulBeirutMosulAfter the children of satan are killed off, Haifa
>>2903934This. Are you retarded, OP? There was no war and it's already over. America won. The Hormuz Strait is America now so you can visit anywhere.
