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

I 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.

it's true, Danang has population of 1M, Nha Trang 500k, beaches have big waves since it's directly on the ocean
in Danang 80% of the beach is off-limits for swimming so you're restricted to tiny enclosed areas which are overcrowded
in 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 nuisance
in 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

>>2760056
Hoi 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

People who don’t actually travel general
I’ll start

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?

They 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

That’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

If 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.
>>
>>2759402
I 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.
>>
>>2759402
Yes 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"

The 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

do 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 them

to make it extra fun finish inside of her. dont ask for permission.

You 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.

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?

Lat 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.

You 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.

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.

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.

>>2758508
Thanks 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.

Thank you very much, anon. Enchanted Rock looks like a good shout and I'm interested in Fredericksburg!

You 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.

There’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?

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).

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.
