Nope! It’s elite dork faggot with niche coding skills or nothing. There’s zero reason to go to Thailand if you can’t blow 3-4k per month minimum on partying. If you’re gonna live the life of a loser in Thailand might as well just stay home

And go FUCK yourself just because

Leaf living in Malta and every single digital nomad i met was either:

1. LARP influencer making money off selling courses or what ever bullshit pipe dream he's peddling.

2. Rich kids who pretend they're entrepreneurs but live off their dad's credit card and spend 90% of their time drinking, doing drugs and having sex.

3. Female expat cum dumpsters who think ''exploring the world'' revolves around riding as many dicks as possible and post travel pics on their instagram until their money runs out and they have to move back home because their ''side hustle'' selling healing stones online didn't work out.

Faggot.

>Da Nang
Great choice, wonderful city.

>just a nice tier 2 or 3 international school
Do some research into the school you pick. I work at a tier 2 and it's extremely demanding. I'm in go mode from 7:15 to 5:00 every day and only 1/3 of that is contact time. My kid gets to go for free though.

>or even a public school
Try public school if you want but don't expect to do any teaching. The children see you as a clown who is there to amuse them with funny dances and games. It's literally illegal for you to manage the class, and the local teacher whose job that's supposed to be hates your guts. Also nobody speaks English past a grade 3 level, including the teachers. There will be 1 or 2 kids in the class who are really good at it cause they study outside of school, but they're surrounded by 40 cretins who have been raised from a young age to see you as less than human. It's one of those shame and futility type jobs like working a sales floor at the mall.

>don't want anything to demanding
*too demanding
It sounds like you're looking for an English center. You have the credentials for a head teacher job at VUS which is kind of cushy but has weird hours. Those English centers get a lot of shit from expats but they do get results. If you care about results in your work then you might like it.

fully agree. Spent a bit of time when I traveled there, and not sure about the whole expat scene but really liked it. Enough city to keep you busy with all the good eats and beer to keep you busy and has a bit of a beach. Also a bit of a younger population out at the cafes and pretty friendly. Could have spent weeks there.

I think the seething from /trv/ that this thread produced is a sign that you should do this.

I taught in Saigon for a bit and it was easy to get a job, but I had to get a CELTA certification first and I don't know if your current credentials replace that, they might though. It was also the best access to women that I ever had, but I was too much of a sperg to really capitalize on it. Shoulda partnered up before moving back to the US.

I did leave because I missed the family, comfort level, and clean air of my home town, but Da Nang is probably nicer than Saigon

>>2867782
Doing all that on a cruise ship isn't that fun. The pools aren't that big, your room isn't that big, multi-purpose areas that have comedy shows won't be having them all day, there will be dumb shit like bingo half the time. Cruises are trumped by the all inclusive fortress resorts because you have more space and you can swim in the sea instead of just pools.

>>2867782
>Sitting in the sun, drinking unlimited booze, reading a book and seeing a show/comedian/whatever seems comfy AF

This is pretty much why I go. I love getting some nice sun in the middle of winter. I'll listen to instrumental adult film soundtracks from the 1970s and autistically stare at the ocean for hours while keeping a steady buzz going form drinking.

As for the boozing... I've approached this two ways. I've gotten the unlimited drink package which has ranged from $4/day to $30/day depending on the cruise. When I didn't get the package, I brought 100 proof vodka in my carry-on onboard. Cruise lines allow passengers to bring a bottle of wine for free or at a low charge, so I just filled an old wine bottle win the vodka and resealed it.

>>2867785
Honestly sitting on your balcony and staring out at the ocean is peak

>>2867782
As someone who doesn't drink and doesn't want to be surrounded by drunk folks, that sounds like hell to me. But I fully understand that most people do enjoy getting drunk and hanging out.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm going to go ahead and tell them to book me with them. No doubt I think a resort would probably be a better experience but those are obviously more expensive and there's the logistics of flying to Fiji or Jamaica or whatever. Work has been cucking me bad this year and I'm saving my PTO for something else. If I can take a few days off and get a decently relaxing experience for $400 while my vacation is subsidized by people who are spending hundreds of dollars on drinks and add-ons then that's pretty cool.

a) there's lots of outright german families in appalachia
b) the ethnic differences between scots and germans are truly minor

supposed to be nice and warm this week

>>2868195
>There's a lot of outright German families in appalachia
Lmao no there isn't Pennsylvania is the only place with a decent sized German population. The vast majority (90+%) were Anglos, Scottish, and Scotch-Irish. The region is famously associated with the "yeoman farmer" for this exact reason.

>>2868463
I don't think you've ever actually been and talked to the locals and looked up their last names. What do you think "germany valley" is named for? How about Helvetia?
high germany rd

germans are just assimilate default whites so you don't think of them as an ethnicity because they are the main one.
>Anglos, Scottish, and Scotch-Irish.
who are all ethnically pan-germanic and speak a germanic language you are splitting hairs even if we ONLY talk about mainland germans there's still plenty of people who descended from German families there.

>>2868465
You don't need to go there, retard, it is an objective fact. Germans overwhelmingly went to the Midwest and by the time of their mass migration in the mid 1800s Appalachia was well settled. Their early settlers were primarily in Pennsylvania and it was mostly religious outcasts like Quakers and Mennonites.

This thread will die because maybe 2% of /trv/ has ever played golf

The local country club that let me play there when I worked in the cart barn. Public courses have been ruined by covid, you used to be able to play a 4 hour Saturday round without hearing drunk bro's Bluetooth speakers. Hell you used to be able to get on and walk as a solo midweek!

>>2867483
Florida, North Carolina, Hawaii, California, Scotland, Ireland. narrowing it down, Scotland and Hawaii.

>>2867483
It used to be Vegas by far. I don't know what the fuck happened there but when I went to visit my parents last year every single course at the very least tripled their fees. Used to be you could play at the TPC course for ~$110 if you went during weekday early mornings or late afternoons. Now it's almost $400 for a 6:30am tee time and all the gorgeous outer suburban courses are like $80 minimum for shit tee times. It's somehow cheaper to golf here in LA than it is in Las Vegas. Palm Springs is my go to for golf trips at this point.

what size would you take for 7 day travel?
i have a big suitcase and people made fun of me last time and told me to get a smaller one...

looking at 70*50*30 ones right now but those might not even be much smaller than the one i have now...

>i have a big suitcase and people made fun of me last time and told me to get a smaller one...
7 Days is a carry on hell a personal item size is good enough. just go get a 19-21 inch case and use rubber bands to help compact things. Probably the hardest part of determining a suitcase is the 2-3 month range of what size to use.

>>2867880
>what size would you take for 7 day travel?
depends
>on the destinations climate, so is it warm / cold / rainy etc.
>activities like skiing or diving with extra equipment
>occasion, i.e. formal evening events with dresscode or just a casual resorts

generally something in the 50-70l range should be good enough for most things
although personally I'd rather have 2 medium sized suitcases than one giant one when packing extra equipment

>70*50*30
>105l
that's kinda huge...
(unless it's outer dimensions, then it's very manufacturer specific)

If you think Chicago thin crust pizza has no unique features besides being cut "into squares" then you have never actually eaten one and should shut the fuck up already

Should I see a white socks or a cubs match over there?

Feel like the real no bandwagon experience would be at a socks game, but a cubs match might give me a chance to see a win.

>>2867968
Wrigley is a better and more historic park and easier to get to and from but if Comisky is like it was when I was a kid you get the surreal experience of safely walking through the south side Chicago housing projects. It's a very uniquely Chicago experience.

Portillos is worth checking out, but don't skip pizza. The stuffed pizzas are good, but kind of a meme. We have even better thin crusts here. Just google "pizza near me" in any suburb, pick something with 4 or more stars, and you can't go wrong. From what I've found traveling almost every state and a bunch of countries is our basic hole in the wall thin crust pizza is like 500x better than anything you'd get anywhere else in the world.

yeah this is what pissed me off. Apparently its very difficult to start a range with a myriad of rentable firearms due to local laws. You can shoot a total of three weapons: a 9mm generic, a 1911 generic or a Mossberg 12ga generic. Kinda sad because in the past, you could rent whatever you liked. It was fun getting friends to shoot who have never shot before though. For all the action movies Filipinos enjoyed in the past- with all the shooting and whatnot, why they aren't more firearm friendly. Probably the Commie Mindanao bastards shooting up the place

I took home a ladyboy last night at an upmarket bar and she made some sort of westernized adobo for me for lunch.

Found out who he was. He's the boyfriend of the chick I was fucking. She hit me up on messenger sending me pictures of him in the hospital and demanding I pay for his treatment, or they will go to the police.
Swollen brain + brain bleed + fractured orbital bone.
I asked her which hospital. She said "why". I said so I can go there and snap his spine, then she blocked me after calling me crazy.
Unfortunate. The pussy was top shelf when it comes to slum teens. A real clinger. Sucked out like a full fucking inch on each backstroke, and she also had like a mini horse butthole. Very aesthetic.

Note for janitor: this was not sex tourism, but authentic Filipino cultural activities (fighting over women/begging for money/skipping town). No sex tourism or prostitution happened at any time. This was a legitimate discussion of an authentic human encounter between two or more people.

I was talking to a cambodian girl once. Then while I was talking to her in voice call, she sends me a video of her dancing in underwear, I figured she had it saved in her phone from sending it to some other guy she's talking to. So I find her on facebook, look who comments on her picture and see 2 old american guys that think they are her boyfriend. I message them and show them the things she write to me and they're mindblown. This guy left his wife and kids to be with this cambodian and he was gonna fly out there in 2 weeks to marry her. Told me he bought a ring and everything, that I saved his life and he's gonna dump her. I then block her because I don't care. She try to message me with some alt accounts so I block them too. 2 months later that dude write to me again and BEGS ME TO FUCK HIS GIRLFRIEND (the cambodian i blocked).

Consider limiting yourself to a smaller geographical area on each trip in order to not feel rushed and having to pass over places you want to see. When I visited Taiwan for a month, I saw less than a quarter of the coastline. Even a country as small as Taiwan has way too many cities and hikes to consider finished in a single month.

If I were living your life, my biggest gripe would be all that time and money spent in fucking airports & airplanes. I hate flying because it is the form of travel most divorced from the earth. Most of the time you can't even see the landscape because it's either cloudy, or you don't get a window seat.

These don't fucking work by the way, the hotel workers are retarded at most of the smaller hotels and will, in fear of doing something wrong, turn you away instead of try to input a passport.

I am not plugged in to whatever current meta of baiting is on this board. I’m a tourist. I see hostels being recommended in almost every thread and to me that looks like the trolling that goes on here.

I’ve actually been to smaller countries with my family, I just don’t know where to go by myself. That’s also part of the huge budget, it’s a safety net because honestly this is outside of my comfort zone. “Just don’t be retarded” is cool and all, I’d just rather it not be a possibility I get stuck somewhere because of some important “do this thing or you are screwed” I missed.

I also considered Switzerland and Lauterbrunnen Valley which is lesser known. I picked the ones in OP because it’s easy to walk around and see interesting things, and you don’t have to rent a car and can instead use the extensive public transport.

Nice turbo normie locations OP. Paris is a 3rd world shithole along with florence. Avoid western Europe like the plague. Im in Norway now (family trip, otherwise I wouldnt have gone), and taking a flight to either Slovakia or Hungary in a few days. I've been to the Balkans a few years ago and it was fantastic. No niggers, no fags (well unless its slovenia kek) cheaper than SEA (aside from Vietnam) and some of the best most fresh food ive ever had. Try out the Balkans, you will not regret it. Very safe too.

This is not going to end well for your OP, sorry to break it to you.

Paris is a tourist hell hole and the locals are not friendly (not that you'd be able to carry a conversation anyways since you're a neet and have little conversational skills and little to talk about anyways, probably).

If you enjoy walking around by your lonesome then you need to get out of the cities and into the wildy, even if it's just for little day hikes.
