Is solo traveling weird in 2025? I know everyone will give the basic Reddit response of “no grl go live ur life” but like deep down… your friends and family back home are wondering why the fuck you’re going places alone and the “friends” you “meet” at these places are wondering why you couldn’t find people to travel with. Is this the case?
>>2765483You can be an eccentric solitaire traveler and also possess a refined social grace that makes people treat you like someone special. Only recently, since turning 30, have I realized just how impactful it can be to develop a good "face" if you are below average in facial attractiveness, and how doing so enhances the chances of being treated like someone special. Learning how to set your jaw and facial muscles into a Zen-like poise takes some time to develop, but doing so will greatly elevate your attractiveness and garner lots of positive judgments from people you pass by. The awkward, slack facial expression I habitually wore in my 20s has my lower teeth behind my upper teeth and my bottom lip against my upper teeth. The result is quite ugly, the chin recession makes me look like a loser and garners very few positive reactions. The muscle slump has a mental effect as well of making me unhappy and depressed. OTOH, my poised face has the lower jaw pushed out to align the lower teeth with the upper teeth, with some separation from them. The facial muscle tone creates a self-satisfied expression that somehow carries over into my mental state as well. First impressions are much more positive. People don't give you pitying looks or avert their eyes out of embarrassment like they do when you're looking ugly and unhappy.IMO, solo travel is only cringe when you are surrounded by foreigner couples and friend groups who are better-looking than you. It's tough not to come off as a loser when you're alone in such a setting. That's why many of us eschew the tourist hotspots.
Solo travelling is no less weirder than solo eating at a restaurant. That is to say it's not weird at all. When you solo travel, and eat at restaurants by yourself, you gradually stop caring about this stereotype that you've created in your mind, and soon you start to notice others are doing it too. The thought of not going to a restaurant I want to eat at because I don't have someone to share a table with is absurd. I think it's only people who don't go out much who have this opinion of solo travellers. Go to an airport, you'll see plenty of people travelling solo. I'm talking about backpackers, not just ordinary people.
I solo travel for sex tourism. I love cream pieing poor browns and tossing them my pocket change.
>>2765524>being attractive is the only thing that matters in lifeIn other news the sky is blue
>>2765483> Oh no! what might other people think of me?!How about you stop giving a flying fuck?
where should i go and for how long? i also get 200 euro every week
>>2764921>Romania embrace our cultural festivals and traditionsi don't know, i'm religious and god forbids stealing
>>2764969We don't steal though. You should experience our culture first hand and not from western euros who spend their entire life on beaches pretending to be models and anything else is living in a hell hole according to them.
>>2765464that wasnt me BTW. (OP) but romania is a beautiful country and its on the list. i settled for Alicante Spain. wish me luck anon although im staying with a bunch of zoomer students it should be fun (im an older zoomer)
>900 eurosThat's what, two weeks' earnings for a menial wagie in Eire? Pretty pathetic for a travel fund. My travel fund was at $6934 after depositing my final paycheck and boarding my flight to Bangkok. Nineteen weeks of travel later, the balance sits at $6124. And they call me a brokefag because I like to live simply. Heh. You status-obsessed negroes don't know shit about managing money for maximum freedom. Call me when the government refunds YOU more money than you paid in payroll taxes.

>>2764701OmegaMart is overcrowded and overrated. Might be OK off-season, but not good in March.
>>2764701good luck getting a spot at sigma derby at 11pm on a Friday night.My wife were just there this weekend, we went at about 2 in the morning on Sunday night/monday morning thinking we could get a spot, not a chance.There was a large crowd around it and zero people moved from their seats the entire time we were there trying to get in
>>2765409I've spent a lot of time at The D and never had an issue getting a spot at Sigma Derby. Longest I've waited was 25-30 minutes and that was during super bowl weekend
>>2765177I've been to a couple different Meow Wolfs and never really enjoyed it. If you're into psychedelics and art you'll have fun. Wasn't for me.
>>2764701Looks good to me. Id probably skip the tournament of kings and the rollercoaster. Go to red rock conservation area instead.
I’m an American and I want to know about all the fun stuff Holland has to offer. Any advice on what to do?
>>2764494Holland has only been the most relevant for the last 400 years. Before that it was swamp and BRABANT was the most relevant area. Let's call the Netherlands Brabant instead.
>>2764556t, butthurt Brabander
Amsterdam is fun to visit for a day or two, just walk around the city center and get lost here and there, visit Rijksmuseum, Nemo science museum is fun if you have kids, Leischeplein if you're into nightlife, boat tour through the canals, Dam square. Enjoy the architecture. The city center of Haarlem is beautiful too, perfectly walkable and cyclable. You can visit Zaandam and for the wind mills, and the flowerfields in Keukenhof are a nice experience. Then take the train to Utrecht, enjoy the "oude gracht". Then take the train to Leiden and visit Rijksmuseum Boerhaave. Then to Den Haag, visit the Escher museum, Mauritshuis and Madurodam. Skip Rotterdam, it's full of italians. The best way to experience the Netherlands is by cycling around as much as possible. Public transport is mostly good, but there is no other country in the world where cycling is as accessible and respected as the Netherlands.Things to eat: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mFz8kMEOhZI

Have you ever tried to live in SE Asia (specifically Thailand, Laos, Cambodia Vietnam) on a very low budget? I’m talking living in fan rooms and having a monthly budget of under $500. Basically, just a fuck it and go kind of escape from the west. Anyone currently huffing it hardcore in SE ASIA? What’s your budget like and what do you do all day?
>>2747622Someone tell me the how the visa situation works in Cambodia. Is it easy to get a tourist visa at the airport?

You can get a nice condo in Kuala Lumpur for $500 a month, not just a room. The difficult part is getting short term rental. They want 6 months minimum, preferably 12. Even using Airbnb you can get super cheap accomodation in Malaysia.Picrel: 756 RM per month=$170 USD per month for a basic room in a basic KL apartment.That's six bucks per night.
>>2763387Maybe it's cold AF back home, who wants to sit around freezing their ass 24/7 because they can't afford heat?>>2765367Go to Wikipedia "Visa policy of Cambodia". VoA is available for nearly every country. eVisa gives you the peace of mind that comes from being pre-approved.
>>2765530problem with that is that you're staying with someone who looks like he tortures animals
what's alicante like in April?
Same as always except Easter celebrations
>>2764000If you go within a week or so of Easter, expect it to be packed with Brits (not quite as bad as Benidorm though). Avoid standing under balconies.

>>2765396St. Pete, no question
>>2765398cool thanks
>>2765396Ruby's elixir has the best musicians in the area playing there, can hit the pier and take a trolly around. Got some good museums, the hangar is also a cool spot thats an airport by the water/restaurant/jazz bar sometimes. Have to recommend at least going to Ybor once and go to The Castle there. Thats where all the goth bitches are and I met cr1tickal there and the area generally my preferred vibe than downtown st pete.
>>2764429Tampa definitely >>2764656You're brown. Lower your tone
I'm taking a weekend trip to Toronto next month. What is there to see and do? Best restaurants? Areas to avoid? The hotel I picked is in Yorkville, but it's not prepaid so I can change it if the area is nasty.
>>2764747>But where is the best poutine?Quebec
>>2764763Actually good post.>>2762396You'll be fine in Yorkville it's a very fancy area (I live here and have no fears of druggies)On top of the other guys post, I'd recommend walking about the area around the CN Tower which as touristy as it is is quite nice.

I have made plans to visit Banff Natl. Park and other bits and places in Alberta in May. Planning on getting there by car, not plane. Are there any travel restrictions? Is it still possible to drive into Canada now? I saw a post on /pol/ last night saying Canada banned travel for US citizens but is that just hearsay or true? Couldn't reply because the site went down.
>>2765441He's just fucking with you. You gonna drive your own car with a US plate? Alberta is probably the safest province to do that these day.If you are really worry, just put a note on your dashboard saying you support Canada, or stick a maple leaf to your bumper or something.Personally I wouldn't bother even though I am a Canadian with a US plate car, but you do you.
>>2765445No shit lol. Go to /pol/ and it only proves you right.>>2765446Thank you for the coffee. Fuck Trump, am I right?>>2765447I know Ontario and Quebec would be the worst, but wasn't sure about Alberta. Are they typically conservative?

Any reason to bring a DSLR or anything other than a phone with a camera nowadays?
>>2764092You would be so wrong it hurts. However, you're not going to be able to tell the true quality of the photo when you see on a smartphone screen.
I bought a camera to take better pictures than my phone. The thing is, you have to put in a bunch of work afterward to process the photo's. If you really want to get the most out of it, you have to watch a whole bunch of youtube videos on how to use the camera, what lenses to get and how to edit RAW photo's to look better. It's a whole hobby. If you're not ready for this, just get a pocket camera.
>>2765451>put in a bunch of work to properly get the photo looking good>want to show friends>upload it to some place>compressed and "optimized" to hell and looks just as good as my phoneOutside some zoom shots and late night shots, just not noticeable
>>2765456Social media is a low bitrate communication platform. Where does one share their masterful pictures?
>>2765459It may be a shit show but it's 90% of the way to even show things to friends these days. Maybe I will print and hang a few nice shots but overall it's not worth it and I am not making a fucking scrap book.
