Greetings, fellow Nomad Chads. This is the general for all things related to remote work and digital nomadism.What destinations are looking good for 2026? Which destinations are now plonked? What projects are you currently working on?>inb4 tardguard seethe, do not feed the retard (You)s
>>2831086>I've been living and working a USA job from SEA for abut a half decade.>1.6M net worth>32yoFUCKOFF
>>2831642Honestly anon he seems reasonable credibly. But you know what would make it more credible? If he showed one of his account balances :)
>>2831673Post account balance, house, and body or you are a larping faggot
Does anything beat Nha Trang?
>>2831673I'm really just jealous.I tried for that for more than 10 years including time spent (wasted) in school, but the high paying, full remote, international jobs are awfully hard to come by and competitive.Then I even got one! but the project, and its multiple teams, was horrifically dysfunctional, cut throat, stressful, and I kept getting undermined by peasants and finally managed out and laid off.This happened almost two years ago and I still seethe. I have a pretty solid net worth now, but might try again. Just do my thing in Asia for a while longer then head back for another effort of something like that before I may finally just throw in the towel and henry miller my career.>>2831086>I'm just not going to worry about a job for a year or twoDo exactly that. I have about half your money and haven't had any paychecks or unemployment money come in for about a year at this point. My net worth still has only risen since then.Theoretically I guess I could retire at these expenses, and investment performance, but that still seems like too much uncertainty to can a career when I'm not even 40 yet. Not worried about a sabbatical though. You could very likely just end it though and ride your net worth if you desired and pull the trigger.

Why are there two companies?Disney parks were initially founded as a way to celebrate the culture and history of America and provide middle class families with a fun-filled immersive experience. While theme parks are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other roller coasters & rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too.

I think Maxx Force might be a 10. A short 10, but a 10.
I’m also still not sure if It’s Phantom’s Revenge is a 9.5 or 10. That coaster is fun as fuck.
>>2831548>>2831656Kumba isn't a real word eitherWho cares
>>2831665Just seems awfully chud of them to put all sorts of real European folklore in Williamsburg and not only put no African folklore in Tampa but also make up a bunch of shit and say it was from Africa.>Kumba isn't a real word eitherRoar is kuboka in Kikongo and Kungana in Kongo. Close but you’re right.
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
>>2821651The thicker passports are annoying, I regret getting one. Whenever I try to slide my phone or wallet into my pocket, I end up colliding with it. My next passport will be regular size. In the future, I think all passport books will be replaced by cards that store your visas/stamps on a chip.
>>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
>have to travel to tampa in a october>looking around there is absolutely nothing to dowhy do such cities exist
>>2827033I'm not a zoomer born post-2000 like you. So yes, I remember Florida being THE purple swing state.you bragging about newly arrived transplants tryhard cosplaying and trying to turn it into lower alabama or whatever is just annoying to the rest of us. fuck off
>>2827365lmao you lost and will continue to lose forever
>>2827365>So yes, I remember Florida being THE purple swing state.Yeah from blatant voter fraud. Sucks to suck.
>>2822901That's pretty common in America but my understanding is that Tampa has it bad specifically because Orlando is tourist mecca so anyone in Tampa who wants to do something fun just goes there.
>>2828013kill yourself election tourist
Has there ever been a place that you have visited that made you have a sort of "opposite Paris syndrome".I visited Boston, MA last year for a wedding and It was the biggest culture shock as someone from bumfuck Yucaipa California. I still want to go back someday, while also visiting other parts of east coast while at it.
Omaha was actually a really nice town with great food and a lot to do. My expectations were very low. I imagine it would get old living there though due to the isolation and the weather.
>>2831574>great foodStuffing your face with meat is the main leisure pastime allowed in the religious parts of America. Somehow they forget that gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins.
>>2831562The point is that Japan has become homogenized with other countries in its development tier, with foreign slaves doing the work no Japanese want to do.
>>2831085eh. I lived in Paris for 2 years and enjoyed it. But we lived by Aquaboulevard so basically no niggers by comparison to other parts of the city.
>>2831081boston is a soulless vapid pit
Why are indian trains armored?
>>2831479To protect against foreign object debris, specifically rocks. MBTA used to do this too.
>>2831494Lots of foreign objects in India, as well as their debris, too.

Because they know they can't have nice things.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/C-sNJkGinbs

>>2830973>afternoon pints>it was 1030even troons are less fake and gay than this story
>>2831521Where’s your stories, trials, and tribulations? I guess your role in life is to be my personal peanut gallery lmao
I've found myself with an absurd amount of hotel points, and the chain (Wyndham) charges a flat fee when paying in points, so I want to maximize them by staying in places where hotels are as expensive as possible. As an example, it's the same amount of points for a night in Orlando and a night in New York, but Orlando has an abundance of cheap roadside motels while in New York it's pretty much impossible to find anything of any quality for under $200 or $300 a night.
> maximize points>wyndhamKek. You do realize it’s a shit chain and most properties are motel 6 and the like, right? Get a better loyalty program and earn there instead>>2831178Low value males, they never change
>>2831301imagine seething this badly over someone having maximum points lol
>>2831522No one is jealous of Wyndham points. I once collected them, got to Diamond (which is also Caesars Diamond), only to find nowhere to redeem any of it because everything about the chain is low rent. If you're a /trv/cel and only go to shitholes it might be ok, but no normal person would say at such a property as a leisure stay. I only manage to dispose of all of my Wyndham points by transferring them to Caesars (over years because there's an annual transfer cap) and just had a nice time on Las Vegas trip.
>>2831301>>2831591If it were up to me they wouldn't be Wyndham points but that's the hand I've been dealt. >>2831297If American hotels are more expensive, then wouldn't the points go further in the US since it's a flat rate?

Is the subway in New York City safe? I had a look at Reddit and they said it’s fine but I’ve learnt not to trust Reddit
>>2826657It's probably the safest transit system of any major American metro. NYPD is far harder on negrotic shenanigans than Chicago or Atlanta for example.

>>2827947Police who aren't pussies?Respect.
>>2826657You need to take major routes during normal hours,. Taking weird side lines at weird hours in bad nいgh is not good
>>2826657>I had a look at Reddit and they said it’s fine but I’ve learnt not to trust RedditIf they say it's fine, that just means you're weaker than them.

>>2830440Do you like getting your butthole licked?
Go to Appalachia. Or the midwest if you are not Italian.
>>2831410You aren't traveling enough. Stop drinking, start moving. Picrel near Melchor Muzquiz, Coahuila
>>2830440Alright you've described yourself but do you have any question? What is the goal of this thread?
>>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?
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.
>>2828698I’ve don’t this exact drive through the right unhighlighted path. Retarded 19 year old, Drove straight off multiple energy drinks in winter and only slept for like 2 hours in a gas station parking lot. almost swerved into a cop car falling asleep Fatigue is no joke on those 10+ hour drives. You gotta break it up into like 1-2 motels at least. you probably save a couple hundred but you also run up your mileage.
>>2830523Actually scratch that you’ll be paying a bit in gas. You’re probably better off flying unless you wanna plan around round trip stuff. I think the price would be comparable minus the rental car.
>>2830527*plan around road trip stuff
>>2829161>>2828698It's fine until you cross into FL. The drive from the border to Miami is like being stuck in limbo.
>>2828698done the reverse. unless you REALLY LOVE driving, just fly bro
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.
Visiting Israel (unironically). Yea or Nay?
>>2823727I'm going there in December/January. I decided on it yesterday. It was an impulse decision. I am not sure what to expect, but I am looking forward to it.
>>2823727If you're not heavy into the religious stuff, have a geographic/zoological interest/job or are deep into EDM stuff there isn't that much that stands out. There's the death sea that is fun for a couple of days some good hikes and that's about it.It's a desert area that is a war zone for 80 years.
tel aviv fucking sucks donkey dick. looks like new york got hit by a nuke and smells like raw piss everywhere. jerusalem is cool and feels very special, despite the touristy bits in the old city.
>>2828892>December/JanuaryI hope you love rain.
>>2823729i went to tel aviv 7-8 years ago, was pretty cooleveryone so sstressed there and people watching is hilarious
No tourists there/here. I'm so glad they still exist. Like huge regions. Not telling.Anyone else gatekeeping some great spots?>No tell edition
>>2828773If you left your phone on the restaurant table next to the street, would some passerby steal it?Indonesia is more socially anarchic than other Asian countries.
>>2831452No wonder Asians despise you. You not only wear your shoes indoors, you put them up on the furniture like an insolent teenage boy who has never been punished.
>>2828773Trepidation means the opposite of what you think it means. You wanted to say ‘intrepidity,’ but you’d probably be better off using less pretentious words like bravery or boldness. I’m not trying to be a grammar nazi, I just want to protect you from bragging about your trepidation in the future and potentially looking ridiculous.
>>2831451>>2831403Based Real Traveler™, unless you're actually cuckshed. But looks pretty comfy
>>2831588Unless he is, in fact, speaking of slum joints that make you really nervous to enter, but are a pussy paradise once you're inside.
Is there something more scary than nightclub fire? Imagine yourself solo-travelling, just being in wrong place in wrong time, then next minute you are awfully burned laying suffering on the street, dying very painful and very slow death, thousands of kilometers from family or anyone who speaks your language, totally dependent on awful healthcare of shithole country you are in. It's totally random, no fault of your own, it still happens from time to time and hundreds of people can be injured (great pain) in one such fire.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colectiv_nightclub_firehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croma%C3%B1%C3%B3n_nightclub_fire - almost 1500 innocent people injured and in great suffering...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C4%8Dani_nightclub_fire - 2025, Macedonia is well known cheap solo-traveller destination...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santika_Club_fire - Bangkok NYE nightclub fire - scary especially for me , because i spend last year in BKK 4-floors nightclub with people tightly pressed in corridors - roof exit blocked etc.How close i was from potential tragedy? How close you were from such tragedy, what do you think?
>>2829679Anon, please calm down.If you let the worst case scenario of every situation stop you from living your life, then you'll end up never leaving the house
>>2829682You've never been in a nightclub. People would be packed shoulder to shoulder. There's nowhere for them to go no matter how le strong you think you are. There are videos of that human crush in east asia where the only ones who escaped were white guys who climbed up stuff and none of the asians did because climbing is not allow. But that wouldnt' be an option in a nightclub. You'd die first because you'd breathe more smoke.That being said as a tall strong guy you should go to nightclubs they are a pure meat market and you'd have some luck and probably not die
>>2829679Do you also worry constantly about dying or being horribly maimed in a car crash, or subway pileup? Get a grip man
>>2829679Propane gas explosion in a restaurant is more likely desu
>>2831564I never relax, but if an earthquake brings the building down on my head, I'm not going to dash out the exit because I'm not the kind of person who panics and runs.
