Sup /trv/ never made a thread like this beforeBeen living in Hawaii for a few years ready to move somewhere livable. I've traveled all over Asia and West coast due to bidding on cheap flights/standby tickets. Ready to settle down and work some easy 9-5 job or bartend out there or something after years of scamming tourists. Are houses actually this fucking cheap?Deadass set on WV because I've seen snow before and fucking love it

Do you guys ever visit West Virginia?
Or Berlin ist scheisse.Why is this city so hyped up?Just returned from 4 day visit and it was a terrible let down.Completely grey and soulless even for November, lots of ugly architecture, drug addicts and homeless everywhere. They even had little camps like in the states. Stench of urine all across the city. Visited Museum Island, it was ok but nothing compared to British Museum or British National Gallery.I am really surprised this city is hyped so much.Frankfurt is better if you want modern city.Dresden if you want history and beauty.Munich for German food and beer.Unless you are junkie I see no point in the It's terribly dirty and depressing.

Has anyone actually travelled here before? It seems like it used to be a somewhat popular destination for Australian hikers and trekkers until recently but I can't find too much information online about what it's like there. I found some information about the Kokoda track hike but from a long time ago.From what I've seen there's basically zero government control outside of the capital city and nobody really knows what goes on in the hinterland. There are some cities in the highlands/interior that have swelling populations like Mt Hagen but nobody outside actually knows how many people live there. That seems crazy to me.
>>2842753No Government, tropics, forest. Damn would be a nice place to set up some colony to live free. As long as you get the local to agree to it somehow.
I really want the magical 90s Christmas experience. Whats the best malls that still do this for Christmas?
>>2843450>Stomp clap hey was also bad. You have bad taste for liking it.listen man, I don't love it or anything, I just stopped being one of those anti-hipsters when I realized that hipsters were pretty much a harmless part of white identity. I'd rather live in a world of pretentious white hipsters and snicker at them with the other enlightened individuals or whatever than live in niggerplanet and be consumed by the black and brown bubbling goo 24/7
I remember going to Fortunoff's to see the train display during Christmas. Last time I went was like 2006, three years before it closed. Malls in my area are pretty dead or are filled with Hispanics and/or Muslim and Indian immigrants. It's pretty sad because there were always a lot of mom and pop stores up until the 90's when they started to be replaced by corporate retailers. Now everywhere is some big chain or ethnic cuisine.
I arrived in Bratislava on a bus, the bus station being in the basement of a mall. The mall became one of my favorite places I visited in Europe for this reason. It felt like early 2000s American malls, just before they died. Lots of people, families, attractive girls, etc. Good food court. I enjoyed just being there. pic unrelated
>>2843472Just because you're nostalgic for better times, doesn't make stomp clap hey, hipsters, or malls actually cool.
>>2843657Its really sad what liberals have done to American citizens.
Probably Boracay if they could improve the tourist infrastructure. Maybe I should go there before it happens. I know it's already not some kind of secret spot or anything but you can guess where things are headed.

Q&A time..
>>2840083the irony is you think the silicone valley tech bro is fucking you less than the tuktuk driver.
>>2837876Sri Lanka has nice cheap hotels, the problem is when you go outside its a total shithole, even the capital has 0 nice areas, there's nowhere you really want to be and it's scammer central so you cant ever relax. Most people who go there only stay a few days to a weekI guess the exception is if you want to ro something specific like surf
>>2843133You are a moron .The app will charge you $1 the random tuk tuk driver will start out at $10 after 5 minutes he will lower his price to $5 you accept and then arrive at your destination and he asks for $15
>>2837876Yeah lots of cheap hotels. If you don't care so much about socialising with other travellers then I'd recommend doing a few homestays at ~$15-20 per night, the ones I stayed in all did beautiful home-cooked food>>2843199What are you on about? There's shitloads of really nice places to go outside in Sri Lanka. Jungles and tea plantations in Ella, tropical sandy beaches in Hiriketiya, etc. Scammers aren't anywhere near as bad as in India, either
>>2843199Strongly disagree, the capital city Colombo is probably the worst, but there are a lot of things you can do in Sri Lanka outside of that, there are thousands of places you can visit ranging from nice beaches to ruins of ancient civilizations. Just be careful as it is still a 3rd world country.
Hey, /trv/. Would anyone like to share their experiences here? I'm going in late November and am especially excited to explore VI national park on St. John. My question is, how should I handle transportation on the island? Is it best to rent a car? A scooter? Just taxi everywhere? Or use some other form of transportation, like public transit?I hear the roads are a bit crazy, but I want to explore freely if possible. Also, I'll be alone probably as this is a solo trip. I'm also happy to take any other tips about the USVI and/or the Dominican Republic, where I'll be staying in Punta Cana for a few days as well. (Am I going to get stabbed?)Thanks!
>>2837801I had a car in St. John. The island isn't that big, so no big deal. You could make the argument its the most beautiful island in the world, spared from dumb shit as most of it is a national park. The approach to Cinnamon Bay blew my mind. Enjoy.
>>2839900Thanks, man.I decided to rent a Jeep. Did you approach Cinnamon Bay from the East or the West? Or maybe it doesn't matter and will be awesome either way? I'll be camping there for two nights.Any specific hikes or other awesome shit I should check out between St. T and St. J?
>>2837801I live on St. Croix, been here the past 3 years since starting a construction company. St. Thomas is a shithole imo, all tourist stuff shoved down your throat, terrible beaches monopolized by the resorts, and an insane amount of people packed into such a small area. Not sure about St. John as I have never been there.If you want to enjoy some real nice beaches in a relaxing environment, I recommend taking the ferry from STT to STX and spending a day or two here. It still has alot of colonial architecture and Christiansted is a very pretty city, but the best beaches are on the west end near Frederiksted.
>>2842252Thanks, man. I appreciate the reply. I'm at the airport now, headed to Miami. I never made it to St. Croix, but I agree with you on Thomas being not great. John was awesome, though. I explored the shit out of the state park. One of many pics I took.
Wish I had seen this thread sooner. I went to STT and STJ in May. I agree with that other guy that STT is a shithole.It is not the most beautiful island in the world by a long shot. It’s truly a borderline third world country.STJ is indeed awesome though. Hope you did the petroglyph trail + watermelon cay.
Live in Vancouver and hate the place. After BC, Canada's living options pretty much boil down to living on frozen plains, Khalistan (Ontario), Frenchie Land. So naturally I want to leave this country. Where is there to go?
I was considering moving to abbotsford and getting a single bedroom for $800/month with some Chinese people. They're harmless and chill. Im interested in learning Chinese so it'd be a cool experience.
>>2842876Abbotsford is the serial killer capital of Canada and practically Surrey East. All the Mainland Chinese went back to China. It's mostly just remaining Hong Kong and Taiwan faggots now.
>>2841496I'm a Vancouverite who's planning on living in Paris for a couple month in 2026. I'm assuming you're white so try to get a passport for an EU country based on your ancestry. Can pretty much live anywhere in Europe if you qualify. I'm ethnically half Hungarian so the process is relatively simple for me.
>>2842922>planning on living in Paris for a couple month in 2026.Wtf?

What's the best area to stay in Sapporo if I want to be on the outskirts; so I can drive out into the countryside in my rental car avoiding most urban congestion, OR easily walk to the subway station to go downtown?
>>2837859I tried just wandering aimlessly, and in the areas where there's fun stuff to find, it's fun, but if I find myself somewhere borint, like Shimbashi or Toranomon, I just feel like I wasted my time. So I'm the tourist type who prefers to get to see as much as I can and then go sleep in my hotel satisfied
>>2837228>using a car in Japanyou guys really have no clue
>>2836206I've come back to tell you this was a great trip. Himeji castle and Takayama's Hida beef were my highlights. /trv/ peeps keep seething about black people in Japan, but I could count the ones I saw with my fingers. The Chinese are the ones you really should be talking about. They are everywhere, blocking your way with their whole clan and they cut in lines with no shame. I completely understand the Japanese calling them roaches now.
>>2824422very nice my friend!
Good day anons, i didnt see any thread regarding spain, so im going to ask here.First of, feel free to hijack this thread for your own questions and discussions regarding spainI am flying to andalucia this january. Ive got a rented car, thats it, no hotels so far. Ive been at several cities there once with my parents 12 years ago, but it was summer. I plan to stay like 2-3 nights at the most remarkable cities, but because of my car i will be able to visit a bit more "remote" places like sierra nevada or tabernas, but im very interested in the culture too, is there anything going on in winter offseason? Like are the tablaos open? Or should i more confine myself in visiting nature sites and historical artefacts. Im not the poorest guy but i dont want to spent everything i have? My spanish is bad, i can read it fine, but understanding someone speaking is hard, and talking even worse. Anything i must see or should disregard completely?
>>2841880maybethat looks closerbut I don't remember any waterfalls or gorges, then again we probably just stopped for an hour to relax off the bus while on a long ride appreciate it, that looks nice
>>2842852I asked Chatgpt and it gave me the official website for the Alhambra (there's so many fucking websites, all of them trying to sell you shit): https://www.alhambra-patronato.es/Full entrance without a guide is 22 euros, there's cheaper tickets that don't include everything. Plenty of dates available but still, keep an eye on it. Use google translate and make sure you're getting exactly what you want, because there's entrances to some church, the gardens, some other palace, etc. There's also a night ticket, that could be really cool, to see the place all light up at night. Keep in mind the website is shit and it barely works, so be patient.
>>2842852you don't need a guide but you do need to buy tickets online
>>2840493You mean Montserrat?
Thanks for the useful thread, op!Anyone done the camino along the littoral/coastal route? Thoughts or tips, or help would be.. helpful
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?
>>2831891What is "meow" in this kot's language?
>>2842054мияв
>>2840219>No, you'll need to apply in person if you don't have a degree. Go to some random city, find English schools in the area, and give them your CV while chatting them up a bit. Requires some charisma.I was able to do this even in Europe even though I have an MA and did a TEFL certificate. never had to show any credentials but I could waltz into a language school and walk out with a couple classes on the spot. they mostly want a native speaking babysitter to help groups of kids learn numbers or basic grammar. if you're smart and have been to university they'll give you cambridge exam prep courses which are easy as fuck. but overall it's a shitty job, you'll get fucked over on pay and you live in a state of perma stress over losing class slots and what you're going to be doing in a couple months. much better to stay at home and work retail or something, you'll make more money and experience zero stress in comparison.
>>2831786Take the high speed rail when you can from Tashkent through Samarkand to Bukhara. I don't think it runs to Khiva yet, but you can take a regular more "Soviet" train to there and Nukus at least. Yandex is a Russian Uber pretty much and most intracity trips I took were less than 1 USD, even with a tip. I think the most I paid was 3 or 4 USD from the airport to my hotel in central Tashkent. I managed to get around surprisingly well as an Amerifat.Tashkent is pretty underrated. The city got leveled by a massive earthquake in the late 60s, but the upside is that it got rebuilt with some pretty kino Soviet architecture. The subway stations all have their own individual art design and is pretty cool to take the subway to see in and of itself. Nukus was cool for the Savitsky Art Museum and as a jumping off point for Moynaq and (what was) the Aral Sea. Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva are pretty self explanatory.Also, don't know where you're from, but Uzbekistan Airways flies direct from JFK to Tashkent. Pic is where I stayed in Tashkent. There was a bus tour of the city with headphones for some popular languages including English that stopped in front of there. P.S. Weirdest thing about Uzbekistan is that like half of the cars in the country are Chevrolets, mainly white sedans. GM built a plant there which was nationalized by the government, and Chevrolets there are much cheaper since Uzbekistan is an a really isolated part of the world. I didn't know about that until I was walking through Tashkent, and it hit me.
>>2843145>and Chevrolets there are much cheaper since Uzbekistan is an a really isolated part of the world.They're not really cheap, they're just cheaper than anything else because the state ensures Uzbeks have no choice with tariffs out the ass slapped on every car import.
I want to go to France this spring and take advantage of the ninety day no visa requirement. I would like to go back to Aix-en-Provence where I studied abroad three years prior. I speak some French but not fluently and I'm just looking for the cheapest and easiest way to secure housing for this timeframe. 27M American, any advice or even alternate ideas are appreciated
>>2843256Wear blackface and arrive by sea on a raft and not only will they house you for free they will give you a card with 2000 euro every month for your expenses.
I’m an American planning a trip to Cuba, I’m trying to decide between Camaguey for the more authentic feel or Havana because it seems for exciting. Any insights or tips from anyone would be nice.
>>2843023just go to nicaragua, its alot like cuba. ive heard tons of horror stories about cuba. do you understand how their currency works for tourists? look it up if you dont. but honestly if you want to hang out in a "communist dictatorship" nicaragua is a better option
>>2843023also you do understand that the photo in op is just a photo op? they spent a week cleaning up that street just to take that photo.
>>2843311It takes a week to hang a flag and park a car?
>>2843023>Any insights or tips from anyone would be niceDon't fall for the underage prostition scam. You will be offered very clearly underage whores, it might be in a setting you think is permissive since Cubans fuck anything with a hole that walks on 2 or 4 legs, but it will be a trap designed just for you.Don't fall for it. >I'm not planning on...Blah blah blah. Keep it in the back of your mind if you are having an amazing night out and things happen. You are a target for extreme scamming in Cuba. Do not forget under any circumstances.
>>2843332and pick up all the trash and wash the sidewalks and paint the buildings. they had to give the flag back after the photo
Its history speaks for itself. Food is good. Lots to do nature wise. Huge city. Why isn't it a premier tourist destination? I mean I sort of know why but there's other muslim countries that get lots of touristsAlso, whats worth seeing there besides obvious stuff like pyramids?

>>2841154Aswan is pretty cool - the rameses statues are amazing, but when you learn the've been moved it kinda ruins it. there's a few towns on the way that have some 'lesser' ruins that are interesting and waaay less touristed.>So far Morocco was the only country I wanted to leave within 24 hours of being thereim going for a week in the new year - any hints/advice. fwiw i didnt find Egypt that bothersome, i've got a decent 'la shukran' and an even better 'fuck off'. i look poorer than them when i travel and am 6'2 sooo..
Anyone have any experience on a Nile cruise or organized tour, i would like to visit for a week or two but not interested unless i have a buffer from the locals
>>2843237Nile cruises are OP. One of the best /trv/ experiences you can have, imo.You'll get overcharged booking from abroad. You can directly go to the boats and negotiate better rates for remaining empty rooms if you're a "pro /trv/er" and are a little sensititve to price.
