I don't think the sugar is the problem. Japanese food has actually quite a lot of sugar. They put it into nearly everything.

Wait... is your average daily steps UNDER 4000 a day? For reference 4k steps is like ~30 minutes of walking unless your like <4'10" I do an hour on the treadmill and that takes me to 11k but I am doing it at 5.2kph @ 3.5% grade. You're moving less than 30 minutes a day? what the fuck are you on about that "Japan is so fuckin healthy oh my science!".

You probably feel that way because you only eat out and buy convenience store meals.

If you have EU citizenship you should use it to its full advantage: EU citizens can travel through all member states with no need for a visa. Europe also has a robust rail network linking major cities together so I'd strongly recommend checking out pass plans that suit your group.
Lastly, you can also hitch hike.
Road tripping with a car is probably the worst option available, even if you're traveling in a vehicle one of you owns because of the high oil prices.

Lmao, you have triggered all the millennial losers who are too scared to drive or can't afford a car. There really is a masculinity crisis

retard, if your "road tripping" by plane or train then thats not a road trip. also recommending hitch hiking with a group of people is mega retarded

Oh yeah just bike 2000 kilometers and break apart at your destination. What amazing advice.

You can see the countryside from a train or bus, but it's even harder to get out and explore. European buses don't stop for everybody waving them down from the roadside like Third World buses do.
>>2908620
There is always parking, what's a 1 km walk. Drive slower and have your copilot study the map so you don't pass things by. Instagram hoes wanting to check off places they've seen on social media with their photographer simps are the worst. Pick a route and then find places of interest along it. You can even do this as you go along, because Europe has so many roads going every which way.

Not OP but you simply just cycle from country to country when your visa-free or visa program is about to expire.

If OP is US he could do 90 days in most all SEA countries, rotating through them is easy. Some countries like Taiwan offer visa's for people to stay up to 3 years in one go if they are "looking for work". Most all "I will never go back to the USA" threads brush over the costs and things needed to live this lifestyle by hopping around.

>Its not complicated or expensive if you are willing to move every 90 days
No but it does cause a headache at times, I know I've done it for years. My point being in the post is that it's also an associated cost people forget about. The meme of "you own nothing and will be happy" is real in this life style. You're packing light+some basic clothes, and stuck in whatever Airbnb/apartment you can find from FB or locals. Friends are harder to come by and it does make you a bit more numb to things. If I were back home in the USA my quality of life would be substantially better outside maybe living in some select places (Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Norway, etc).

You also basically never know what the next place will be in terms of cost and life quality. Usually its going to be same-ish but there are times you get a shit hand delt. I'm all for defending the lifestyle for those who literally got nothing else going on but it's not the

It’s a big country and the catastrophe was local to a specific region. It‘s tragic, but I hope it’s gonna be fine in a year or so. My plan would be to do 1-2 treks there, which means I need this winter and next spring for training anyway.

Nepal is super friendly toward whites, but also a little untrustworthy in that every foreigner is Mr. Moneybags who shouldn't mind getting his water bottle, snacks and other shit stolen if left unattended. Food in the hilly regions is awful, limited in variety and quality, so be forewarned. The Terai and bigger cities have great food. Smoke Nepali village weed in a homemade bong with some local bros if you get a chance, it's super mellow and untainted by modern hybridization. There's no shortage of mountain valleys to explore, so go see the country. Buses go everywhere, but some cost 3x more per km than others depending on the difficulty of the route. Expect extreme overcrowding on every bus; your presence will be tolerated but definitely is not needed or wanted. White tourists usually get given a seat to themselves. Beer can be pricey, $3-4 per 620 mL bottle. Barahsinghe is top notch and usually $2.30 per bottle. Kanna plate is the main dish, it's standardized at every restaurant. Expect loose messy bowel movements every morning, with shitty rice pieces floating in the toilet bowl. This is Nepal. Don't fuck with the police, they are hardasses. Feel free to enter Nepal overland on foot from India, it's some Real Traveler shit. Bring a crisp $50 for your 30 day visa.

>>2907213
Everyone isn't an arrogant aloof travel robot like you who scorns everybody around him and has to have every little piece of his itinerary planned out before he even sets out. Most people want to meet the locals when they travel, be free to pursue any social opportunities which arise, etc. Driving a car hundreds of miles a day in remote places makes that unlikely to happen. You'll spend a bunch of money for a comfortable but essentially unmemorable trip. "I drove and saw some sights".

There are literally hundreds of areas in NFs and even some state forests that rival the upper tier national parks. The NP's were literally created as tourist containments/ambassador zones.

Maybe there are some shitty low tier national parks that are worse than the best national forests, but the best national parks are one of a kind. I’ve been to the south Oregon coast and some Oregon BLM, they were nice but nothing compared to Glacier national park

>>2908512
My only beef with parks is the admission fee, which is waived if you have a pass (which every person looking to explore American nature should get). I've been to a lot of the spots you listed (like highways Az-288 and Co-65) and while they have top notch dispersed camping, the truth is that the lack of development takes away from their touristic appeal. You have to be going awfully slow to enjoy what the more remote parts of the American wildlands offer you.

cowee mtn overlook, drive to that, then uh turn around cuz that's kinda the best one I think

I dunno I never stay in Asheville proper. It just seems too touristy.
Drive to Blowing Rock, see the Linville Gorge. Go to Lake Lure and take the elevator, then the steps.
there was this bar in asheville it had nice live music, down by the river so maybe like arts district area, was kinda like a warehouse vibe
I brought bubble gum hash and we smoked it outside and it really impressed these artsy chicks who invited me back to their house another night for dinner (im gay)

Man Nostalgia really just hit me. I love the Smokies. Went there a lot as a kid cause my grandparents lived in Sylva. Went to a summer camp in Brevard and did a lot of cool shit. Sliding rock is cool, turtle back falls is neat. If you’re into urban exploring go to Maggie Valley and climb up to “Ghost Town in the Sky” if it’s still there. It’s totally bizarre to see an abandoned theme park on top of a mountain.
If I were to visit there now I’d probably hit up the breweries, go hiking and rafting. Have fun anon.

Asheville was lame as fuck the last time I visited, parked one time to sleep in my car on the street outside an apartment complex, didn't feel secure at all and thereafter went to a Walmart - probably "no overnight parking" now but with a car you can usually get away with ignoring such signs. got a temp job but got fired for being too slow and weird, asking the owner to shower in his house after each shift was complete. still without that money i would've run out in Ohio before finding my first proper seasonal job in New Hampshire. i also got contracted to transport a big egg grill from Hendersonville NC to Detroit MI, guy wired me $80 upfront to cover gas and said he trusted me. It was from shitty to shittier, drove into the grass to sleep secluded in an unlit Detroit city park afterwards, but like a chickenshit I refused the adventure of a life going north over the Mackinac Strait to the UP Minnesota Dakota Montana and chose Ohio after being rejected entry into Canada. One of the biggest travel mistakes of my life, as I got stuck camping illegally in Cuyahoga Valley National Park and had to pay $575 to get free. If I only had balls I would've gone to Montana and spent the summer out there...but youth is only lived once, and the opportunity once passed never presented itself again.

I did a similar trip but went to Malaga, Cadiz, Jerez and Puerto de Santa María, don't bother with the latter, Cadiz was kind of interesting for a short stay, Malaga is a nice way out of Spain if you plan on continuing your trip outside, also you can do day trips to Ronda and Gibraltar from there. I wanted to see Bolonia but couldn't fit it in my schedule

visit pueblos blancos
there are a bunch of them, comfy small towns lovely scenery, choose your own but setenil de las bodegas was my favoutite bit i only visited a couple
and if your willing to go that far for granada then go to the coast
malaga marbella even fuengirola and others are nice tp gp to the beach, walk in the promenade, amd eat some fried fish
and do reserve some time for sevilla very nice city
eat some migas rondenas in ronda, some lovely tortilla at bar santos in cordoba, enjoy their sweet vermuths and tinto de verano if its hot when you go there (likely)
spain is wonderfull to explore

>>2902402
Take the N-432 from Cordoba to Granada instead, it's a kino route
If you're going to Ronda also stop by Setenil de las Bodegas
imo Granada > Cordoba and would spend more time in Granada
Also, go to the coast. Malaga + Gibraltar or something

Big up on Granada. I've always considered visiting Alhambra since it was a contender for the new 7 Wonders of the World. Finally got the chance to visit last month and it was worth it.
There's something blissful and calming about Alhambra. It was peak summer and yet it didn't feel hot and it was not crowded. Generalife garden was kino - you hear the gentle flow of water everywhere you go. I've been a big fan of Islamic architecture ever since I visited Samarkand and Isfahan years ago. Visiting Alhambra rekindled that flame, that it inspired me to go to Morocco & Algeria next year to admire more Islamic architecture.
Also, sticking to the topic:
>Madrid
As mentioned by others, not much to see but it's a great city nonetheless. The foodie scene here is better than Barcelona IMO. It also doesn't feel touristy at all.
>Seville
Another great city if you're a big fan of architecture and food. Real Alcazar is also worth it but it doesn't compare to Alhambra. Spend a night here so it doesn't feel rushed.

You might as well accept that you had your fun back in the day, and life's thrills will continue to diminish as you age. I definitely wouldn't describe most of my past travels as "fun". But I'm still going places, because god gave me a pair of legs and I'm going to use them to move myself around. Whether or not I have fun never even entered the equation.

Just go to pattaya you fucking loser

>>2907386
I've done hikes across Scotland and Portugal as well. Been meaning to do one in Norway. That's where I planned to go this year but lost the drive when my friend ditched the trip. Never got a spiritual awakening from anything I've done, and maybe that's why part of the magic is lost. When you're 18 everything feels like an opportunity to find something bigger and better, but now I'm mostly content with it just being nice scenery and tasty food.

I was thinking about it longer and I think it's just being fucked on dopamine and having too high of expectations. When you're on a trip with your buds it can be nonstop fun until you crash. But on your own sometimes it's just not exciting. I can enjoy looking at a cathedral, have a nice meal, and then go read in a park.

Just because it's not constant excitement doesn't mean it's bad or not worthwhile.

Well shit it sounds like you have already answered your own questions
And how one travels in their 30's or at any age can be generalized, but is still subjective
To me, traveling in my 30's is a mixture of adventure and resting and relaxing vacation mode. Part of the joy of traveling is how it helps me appreciate the shit I can only do at home (blast my stereo, motorcycle, piss off, call my buddies but don't actually go out with them, cook my own food)
I know what you mean about finding fulfilment or purpose when traveling somewhere random though. Going to real small cozy restraunts or bookstores or cafes or antique stores in smaller towns or in the countryside and seeing how cool and peaceful the owner/operator is really inspiring. Or finding live music /disco dj abroad stoked up something deep inside

In the same boat. The gang from my 20s have all hung up their hiking boots and I'm not sure if really want to be surrounded by backpackers now.

Prostitution is already illegal. Majority of the tourism is sex tourism, directly or indirectly. p4p is never going away in Thailand. Most of the sex workers have "real" jobs on the side.
