what region of Norway should you visit?
>>2757005>>2757008>>2757009>>2757011Pretty cool pictures anon
>>2757009wowthat's a big guy
>>2754747Not Oslo, it's one of the worst capitals. People are also completely autistic. Go to see the fjords real quick then fuck off.
>>2754747I enjoyed Tromso and Bergen
As an outdoor lover, what are some must do's if hiring a vehicle in Norway?
Has anyone here been to San Sebastian before?Care to share experiences, recommendations and tips?
>>2760088Yeah, the food alone is worth the trip.
Now that Japan has been throughly enriched with western culture and the women are basically among the most unloyal due to the cheating culture where is the next good place for meeting sane women? China?
>>2759601>whoa dude, pussy stinks when it gets aroused? WTF that's gross>I have 1000 pics and vids of cute Japanese girls saved on my desktop and they never stinkLMAO at the profound ignorance of the celibate
>>2759703youre gross too faggot kek
>>2759703What in the fuck are you doing with your life that you even think up comments like this? I have never thought a thought like this in my life.
>>2759979>bruhStop talking like a nigger
>>2759665>I'm fairly certain most of the newcomers are from that MGTOW thingYeah, most people on here seem to be incels or other "manosphere' types looking for obedient women in places like Philippines and other SEA countries.
Okay so I'm in Thailand rn, really enjoying it, I was thinking of booking a trip to Vietnam next year because it seems even cheaper than Thailand but I was talking to someone here who said Vietnam and the Philippines are hectic and don't have the same chill vibe as Thailand and don't have beaches that are as nice. Is this true? Vietnam beach cities look nice as fuck on the internet
>>2760015What are you enjoying doing?
>>2760053just goin to the beach and stuff man im not about sex tourism or whatever
>>2760015I haven't been to Thailand for comparison yet but whilst Vietnam as a whole is pretty chaotic (especially Hanoi and HCMC), I think you'll like Da Nang. It's a beach city with a much more relaxed vibe. Also has other tourist attractions nearby like marble mountains, Ba Na hills, Hue, Hoi An, My Son.
>>2760015it's true, Danang has population of 1M, Nha Trang 500k, beaches have big waves since it's directly on the oceanin Danang 80% of the beach is off-limits for swimming so you're restricted to tiny enclosed areas which are overcrowdedin both places there is a busy road with tourist buses and other heavy traffic just near the beach, so getting to the beach from your hotel in a nuisancein Thailand beach destinations are way smaller and most of hotels are between the main road and the beach so you can walk there in peace>>2760056Hoi An is a tourist trap, Ba Na hill is 200% tourist trap, why would you travel to Vietnam and then waste lot of time and money so see fake European architecture??it's for retarded Asians who can't afford to travel and think that taking pics in front of the fake Louvre is somehow cool
>>2760015Just go to Phu Quoc
People who don’t actually travel generalI’ll start >people who go to Bali, Ibiza, Cancun, etc You’re not actually travelling you’re just visiting a resort destination to hang out with other tourists >anyone who says “I’m not a tourist I’m a traveler”Quite literally the same fucking thing, nobody gives a fuck that you’re “le experiencing the le culture” by staying in dirty hostels and hanging out with other brokepackers in a heavily touristed part of the country, instead of doing what those “ugh… tourists” at the hotel across the street are doing What constitutes someone who doesn’t actually travel in your eyes?
>>2759902They sat in complete silence the entire time watching us from across the way. They were huddled together looking absolutely defeated with their little bad of cold oatmeal. We were feasting and laughing it up and having a great time. We got drunk and laughed our asses off watching a dumb Adam Sandler movie. When we woke up in the morning, they were arguing about something and the dude walked off without his girlfriend. We both laugh about that night all the time about how miserable those two were while we glamped. I feel the same way when I see backpackers in Europe carrying 100 pounds on their backs walking into a hostile. They're always greasy, dirty and you can smell them from a mile away. They always walk up and read menus at restaurants, but they never go in because they can't afford it. They never smile. They never talk. They always look miserable. Meanwhile, we're staying in a giant condo on the top floor with a hot tub drinking on the balcony and having parties. And then I come on here and get a kick out of these "real traveler" threads. You do you, but I promise I'm having a better time. LOL
>>2760024OK then
>>2760035Don't give attention to people practicing their creative writing skills outside of /b/.
>>2759724Kek
>>2759781That’s true but these are just words. And it doesn’t really matter. Did they travel? Are they tourists or travelers? I don’t fucking care. Are they pleasant and fun? Seems unlikely. They wouldn’t find me much fun or pleasant either. Different people like different things. I’d like to think my particular brand of what I think of when I think about travelling is the real Traveling (TM) but it’s just my own style. If someone else enjoys cruises through spic territory, I may not have much in common w them but I can’t say it’s not technically traveling
Ive considered doing a study Abroad Program, but for summer vacations or breaks is there any advice besides the obvious "save money". Just curious. Thank you!
>>2759953Yes, a quick trip back to >>>/r9k/ will do the job.
Learn how to earn and use points.
>>2759953If you’re a currently enrolled student, it’s one of the few ways Yanks can easily access short-term working holiday visas (very few countries have WHV programs open to Americans because the US doesn’t reciprocate them). But there are schemes specifically for students that are sort of like study abroad programs over summer breaks that let you get a part-time job rather than going to classes. Friend of mine worked in a pub in the UK for a summer, had a good time, made a little bit of money, traveled a bit.
Sightseeing makes me very tired.
>>2759402I almost never take whole days off to rest. But I’m unashamed to admit that my travel style is fairly lazy—most of the time, I’ve only got one or two items per day on my itinerary. See Museum X in the morning, Historical or Scenic Site Y in the afternoon, that sort of thing. If either X or Y takes more than an hour to reach from wherever I’m staying, I might see or do only one thing that day. I spend the rest of the day pretty much just quietly farting around. Some aimless wandering, some sitting in cafés if I’m someplace with cafés. Nothing organized or especially strenuous, although I sometimes end up walking quite a lot. If I’m tired of/from walking, I’ll go back and rest for part of a day if I feel like it, but I usually go back out.
>>2759402Yes of course! Find a beach and just take a nap, chill around where your hotel is, get some lunch or some coffee, sit in a random park for a few hours, Running around for several days can get tiring, nobody is requiring you to go until you are exhausted if you are a solo traveling. "But you won't see the sights!" You are still in the country and enjoying what that place has to offer, just do it in a relaxed way instead, it is a great way to recuperate.
You have to or you'll get pissed off/depressed.
When I was travelling for 2.5 months straight I would always have 1 rest day per week. I always felt super bad about it and I hated it though. I would always be thinking "you should be out there seeing the sights etc what a wasted day"
>>2759402I take a day to eat a large pizza alone in my hotel room and then pace around rubbing my tummy/laying on my left side for the rest of the day until I have to poop
How the fuck do assholes focus in exotic places? I havent found a single destination where I can focus except Taipei.
I like a family restaurant with free refill. Sometimes hilton hotels buffet when I want to piss off the locals
>>2759774I saw a hairy ass Mediterranean lookin swarthy dude just let his beer get warm while he typed on his computer on the beach in Thailand the other day.... nigga wat r u doin
>>2760045Group of people tossing a football near him let one get by. Excuse me sir, could you help us out. He ignores them. Sir, excuse me, could you toss the ball back to us. It's right beside you. He continues typing as if they don't exist, because they didn't notice his existence before acting like toddlers. All they had to do, was ask if it was cool to horse around in the area beforehand.
>>2760045What a fucking faggot. I work with google employees and this is something they’d probably do
>on dating apps looking for gf>find women who put in "Love to travel" "Love traveling", and so forth> okay easy picks right? >invite the ones i match out on trips with me>out of 5 i matched, 1 ignored me>3 made up excuses to not want to take a trip and instead stay local>only one is up for it>we agree on going to Norway for a few days>first day arrive in Oslo from plane>we go out to eat some lunch>she wants to go back to the hotel to drop stuff off>then she comes up with excuses to not want to go anywhere until dinner>second day she once again doesn't actually want to go to any local sites>even tells me maybe we should have just stayed in our home country and did something locallyThe fuck man, why put travel in your bio when you clearly don't like traveling and exploring new places? She basically just wanted to get wined and dined for 3 nights and then sat in the hotel watching movies and social media
>>2758177do you actually pay attention to the bio?anon. invite them out. and take em back to your place and fcuk them. thats it... start with a massage and then take off thier pants. take yours off too. then put your penis on her ass and then get her hand and put it on your dick to make her start getting you hard. if you are way above her leauge put it in her mouth. if she is above your league just put it inside. if she asks for condoms ignore it like you didnt hear it and slip it in and take it out to make her miss it. dont pay attention to her bio or trying to connect with themto make it extra fun finish inside of her. dont ask for permission.
>>2759864That has ruined social interaction in a way I never anticipated. What's really retarded is in the Philippines people are killing their own small businesses by doing this
>>2759887>I don't know who's the bigger loser, these two bugwomen for being vapid cunts, or me for watchingYou had to observe for scientific purposes in order to expose this behavior. I saw something similar yesterday where 4 gook women were taking pictures in this restaurant for 20+ minutes and all they ordered was some ice cream to-go and then they walked their happy meal asses out of their to get fatter somewhere else. It's disgusting how so many Asians are fat now. It's gotta be 40+% of the population now.
>>2759900I couldn’t live knowing that my babies are gestating inside some tinder hoe.
>>2758640Fucking hate those murder "jokes". I don't get easily offended but that really grinds my gears. True crime obsessed women, not even once.
is Naples worth visiting for the food alone?
>>2759754>I tried pizza all over ItalyYou a dumb tourist then>I tried Texas BBQ in Delaware and it sucked >The Cajun food in America sucks, I had it in Montana >I realized pretty quickly that I don't love American seafood. The lobster I had in Omaha was mediocre
>>2759588I mean, we need to eat something while we are travelling, so why not give the local food a shot?
>>2759756I'm not following your logic?
>>2758959how much does a pie like in picrel cost in napoli?
>>2760027His logic must be that pizza is from Naples so you can't get an authentic one elsewhere.That's retarded because pizzas are everywhere and can be great whether authentic napoli style or not.I'm from Marseille and we have great pizza around here, US pizza can be good too
>spend 16 hours a day inside on my computer>travel>spend 16 hours a day inside the hoteldoes this happen to you?
>>2759818I usually spend a few hours on my phone in a cafe eating cakes and drinking coffee.[picks teeth with local currency]
Apart from thai food, everything from cosmetics tontech is regularly priced and even expensive more so than any first world country. You can get an a cheap apartment room run by old people who don't know a lick of english, it will smells like rotting trash, but any decent hotel is $25 a night. Japan and Korea have cheaper or similarly options. I think Vietnam is cheaper but only very slightly.Is there something I'm missing? Are the nice cheap modern places to rent without ugly glossy floors, mold, stone beds and sewage smell available places that you have to rent for a month?
>>2758528You mean something with padding for your soft Western ass? After enough time here, your ass gonna get used to sitting on flat hard surfaces for extended periods of time.>>2758590Lat Phrao has some cheap accomodations, but double-check the location before booking; the places I stayed were a good walk away from the nearest boulevard. Overall it's a relatively prosperous, well-kept and tranquil part of the city. Flips hate walking, so you might end up ordering food delivery a lot.>>2758736You fail to understand the meaning of "broke", wagecuck. Being stuck working to pay your (((debts))) is brokefaggery. Simplicity is liberation, and it is also an act of rebellion. It deprives the system of the massive profits it would receive from another obedient white male career slave who works to pay taxes and consoom and plow whatever's left back into the system as a retirement investment.
>>2755832> I still wonder who stays in the actually expensive hotels $150 a night and above. That is literally pissing money away for some shiny surfaces and modern color schemes...ooooook
I'm going to bangkok around easter time and I hope to god I dont run into any of you miserable slum dwelling poor fags. Except insecurity guard, he seems cool with his pecker play stuff.On another note, how packed / expensive does bangkok get during easter? I'm looking to spend around $150 per night on a nice hotel room. I'm not poor and I don't plan on leaving the room other than to get food and for errr tutoring. So i dont mind spending money if it means comfort stress free living for 5 days.
Okay so the main trick is book in advance like wayy in advance, several months in advance if you want both modern and cheap, the other trick is go to lesser known islands, Thailand has hundreds of islands ya know
>>2756498>$800/month one-bedroom rental in a small Midwest city gets you a much nicer place than a $35/night hotel room in Bangkok or Pattaya.Okay go to Cleveland then lmfao
I will be travelling to around the Kerrville area for work in a few weeks. I'm English and am very much looking forward to being able to experience some more of the south (Only been around Florida). Can anyone recommend some things for me to do? I have a weekend totally free, so would be willing to drive somewhere like Corpus Christi (just as a metric for distance) if you think there is something good that I should check out. Otherwise, my free time is mostly evenings, sadly.I am unashamedly open to so called "tourist traps" if they aren't total shit. If anything I'd probably eat up that cowboy shit. I am fairly well travelled in terms of cities; I would be surprised if anything in Austin or San Antonio would offer something interesting to me if you're talking things like museums, galleries or generic shows/music etc. I've been to 'Merica >20 times so would appreciate more Texas/Southern unique experiences and would appreciate things on the lighter side of cost but I'm not too tight (say ~$200 for a very good experience).
There's all kinds of scenic drives and little towns you can visit throughout the Hill Country. Personally I'd recommend Big Bend National Park as a weekend excursion over Corpus Christi. It's quite a bit farther, but a lot more unique looking than some boring Gulf Coast beach, and you can do 80+ mph on the highways heading out there as well.
I'd like to just clarify - I'm not opposed to going to San Antonio say to see The Alamo or The Missions etc (if you think they're worth it). If someone can tell me things about the local cities that are worth doing then I'm all ears.>>2758508Thanks for the recommendation. Looks quite cool, but given how far away it is, where do you suggest I stay?
Inks Lake State Park and Enchanted Rock are pretty cool for the outdoors. As well, Longhorn, Inner Space, and Natural Bridge Caverns. Canyon lake is mostly privatized and overbooked these days. The Texas music scene is where it's at if you want to cowboy it up. That or the Ft.Worth stockyards, I think a rodeo is still going on.6th street in Austin for the live music and comedy capitols of the world.Fredericksburg is great if you like to drink, you can do so publicly. Theirs a lot of vineyards, distillers, and breweries in the area. Beorne is a nice suburb of German heritage.Port A and the Padre islands if you want to visit the dirty gulf of Texas. Or Surfside/south Galveston.San Antonio has the best Mexican and TexMex food. Downtown at the Riverwalk for dates.
>>2759405Thank you very much, anon. Enchanted Rock looks like a good shout and I'm interested in Fredericksburg!
>>2759892You bet. Don't sleep on those cavern tours either. A lot of fascinating history in our state if you're into that Seems the biggest issue you face is distance and mobility getting around to various places. Texas has a notorious feral hog problem and that region has heavy deer concentrations. Openly hanging out in the neighbors lawn drinking the pool water. They're all over the roads so be careful driving. Also come back in better /out months to float and party on the Guadalupe river.
How old is too old to travel?>inb5 ur never too old, I heckin know a 98 year old who stayed in hostiles and everyone loved them, heckin nobody cares about your ageBSThere’s a pretty hard cutoff for backpacking and enjoying travelling how it’s supposed to be. Nobody wants to be in a hostile with some old man ruining the vibe for everyone else. What’s the age where you start getting side eyes and strange looks when you show up at the hostel or tour group? 23? 25? 30?
>>2757894>Just don't act like a 19-year-old when you're in your 40s.What's the problem is you're good looking and fit enough?
>>2753028>Milan>get fucked by trannies on drugsI'm not surprised
>>2753737TTT bro did you make it back to LOS yet and are you fluent in thai yet?
>>2753150Hello? Based department?
Just don't stay in hostles and shit, brokie way to travel anyway
Sup /trv/. I'm looking to take a trip with three characteristics:>1. Road trip>2. Remote (no crowds, not many people, of course not so remote that gas isn't available)>3. Great natural scenery.I got a piece of this in Canyonlands recently and I want more of it. The park gets a lot of visitors, but it's also huge and there aren't many people in the Needles district, so it was easy to feel like I had it to myself in some places. Any suggestions? I'm looking into Alaska, Argentina and Chile (I'm in the US so western hemisphere is easiest).
>>2759693Eastern MontanaCentral and Eastern WyomingLarge portions of Colorado Practically most of Utah and Idaho outside of the obvious big cities and townsThe entire north of Maine from the city line along the interstate
>>2759726Ignorance really. I'm not sure what I'd find there that I wouldn't have already seen in Colorado, Montana, Alaska and the forests of the US. I've been to Glacier, Banff and Niagara and loved all three, but all three were crowded. Enlighten me?>>2759799Thanks, I've been to these states but not these parts, so I'll consider them.
>>2759799Outside of peak season too there's even less people.
>>2759693Baja California
Personally one of the prettiest drives I ever did was from Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, along the Colorado river to Moab, then through Southern Utah through Nevada, to California. There are two routes through northern Nevada, both of them will be extremely isolated, mountainous, deserted and quite pretty in my opinion. Here's the real pro tip though, do this trip in May or June and there will be huge patches of green throughout the desert, Nevada becomes almost like a grassland but literally only for a few weeks in late May before the sun burns it up.
