Can't believe there isn't a general about Nam already, even though everyone and their mother is going there.I myself did Saigon, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, and the Ha Giang Loop earlier this year. Can highly recommend all of it.
>>2911243Skill issue.
>>2911268You are so dumb you dont even realize when you got scammed
>>2911243It sounds like you are low iq and went to some really shady places.The food, hotel and phone thing never happened to me. Got my phone setup at the Viettel/The gioi di dong stores not random places on the street. Didnt go any fancy restaurant or hotels just simple ones near the tourist area and wasnt scammed. Although there were many scammers on the street.The main problem I've encountered is that VNmese are clueless when dealing with foreigners.
>>2910750>Hanoi has soul. Saigon doesn't.Total plebbitor take. Like the retards who come to Japan and extol the virtues of Kyoto and Osaka and whine about how much they hate Tokyo.
>>2911313I haven't been to Japan but how is that wrong?
Yes it does, and I'm gonna have a good time summerbumming from town to town around the mountains on these state-operated buses.
Time to wrap up this thread at the four weeks mark with a friendly salamander. $1446 has been spent to cover 3200 miles and visit twenty towns in five states. Ten out of 28 nights were spent outdoors; the rest were spend in hotels (7), hostels (4), trains (3), and family homes (4). Lodging spend averaged $22.63 per travel day or 44% of the total. Supermarket food cost me $14 per travel day, 27% of the total, and I was eating some pretty good stuff. Covering the vast distances of America does run up a big transport bill, with 114 miles per day covered on average; $313 or 22% of spending is definitely a reasonable price for covering such a distance by train and bus. That's an average of $16 spent for every town town visited. It's worth noting that on most rides I did not have somebody sitting next to me. Miscellaneous spending totaled $103.Peace out, faggots

>>2897589quite good
>>2901586>And man, half the people who ride buses here are literal goblin ogresThis is why most white Americans own one or multiple vehicles for their travels. And guns. Also Kansas is one of those states that you try to drive through as fast as possible to get to better places, like most of the rest of the plains and N TX and OK.

Sup /trv/, here's a summary of my trip to Buenos Aires last month in pictures.I mostly hated the place, everything is ridiculously expensive and the value you get for what you pay is total shit.Public transport is America-tier and you will have to use it unless you prefer renting a car or Ubering all over the place.I went there for family reasons and was admittedly lazy when it came to checking out things to do and places to visit so obviously YMMV if you have a more defined itinerary.Anyways, I started my journey at the Jardin Botanico, here's the statue that greets you when you first enter the place, there is no entrance fee.
>>2907123>how dare you eat a cheap meal occasionally!>>2907159>LOL he didn't just survive on dollar empanadas
>>2895612Thanks for sharingI visited Buenos Aires a few years ago, mostly stayed in “El Tigre”I found it very affordable at grocery stores… 5$ for rib eye steaks, 8$ for picanha, 2$ for avocados the size of your head.I’m from Canada - so for us that is very cheap, I guess for an American , maybe not that cheap.
>>2906122What are you talking about, there is high quality beef cuts, great cheese selection and amazing fruits and veggies all over the country in most grocery stores.
>>2910269>I visited Buenos Aires>a few years agono shit it was cheap then, you were basically getting a 50% discount on everything by bringing dollars into the country, that party is over now>>2910270>amazing fruits and veggies>in most grocery storesI found most of the produce at grocery stores kind of low quality, the good stuff was always at the shops that just sell produce
>>2906122I was surprised that hardly any restaurants (except crappy sushi places) served fish. You've got three thousand miles of coastline but you don't eat fish??>>2895639I always wanted to have a koi pond. They're adorable little fishies.

What do you like? Food? Culture? Partying? Sex? Beaches? Elaborate a little.
>>2910412Doubtful. I stayed in private rooms in Polandia and averaged $44 per day, going to a new town daily. You're spending $11 per day in Japan? Fuck off my travel board, we're all sick and tired of you braggers-from-home.

This June, the lads and I are planning a trip to the Lychee and Dog Meat Festival (玉林荔枝狗肉节) in Yulin, China. Has anyone been before? What kind of dog meat dishes can we expect to find there? Any info is appreciated.

>>2910197>inplying you can't have both
>>2909129>Lobsters are cooked alive and people say it doesn't taste right without the tortureThat's literally incorrect. Most proper chefs destroy the Lobsters brain prior to boiling. Boiling them alive causes the lobster to stress and make the meat tougher. Also the reason why pasture/free roam meat and poultry tastes better.
>>2910166there are not even 1 billion dogs
>>2911259Most people aren't proper chefs and there's common "wisdom" that you can't kill a lobster before cooking it because "it makes the meat go bad". Some places like the UK have laws against it but most people are still cooking their lobsters alive because they think doing it any other way is bad or dangerous.
So, at the age of 29 my partner and I live in a motorhome - she works nights and I work during the day. We’ve saved enough money to travel the UK and Europe for around 6 months without having to worry too much but, we are technically homeless? Would love to reach people in around the uk and europe for places to stay kik - nathancasper96ndjd

>>2911050No I'm talking about your girlfriend's brassiere
>>2910921Could I use her body in some way?
>>2911150For stacking crates or general forklift work sure
>>2910917Daduq is the point of the motorhome if you want to couchsurf and hang with other people? Motorhomes are for stealthing it in the boonies, relying on nobody, every morning a success of not being run off or hassled. Otherwise, just stuff a backpack and use public transport to couchsurf.
I'm going to stay with some friends in NYC soon. Should be there for at least a week. I have never been to the USA before. Any recommendations?Generally when travelling I like to keep things spontaneous. See historic places, or wander about and enjoy bars, perhaps get some conversations with strangers.I also want to avoid basketball people in their native habitat, is it true that the subway is generally not safe?
>>2910905You've been watching too much CNN
>>2910897As soon as you make it to the east river just jump in, its a right of passage for new yorkers. also everyone is allowed to say the n word in new york so be sure to say it a lot.
>>2910897I've lived in New York for 15 years. I've been blackout drunk in most parts of Manhattan and West/Downtown Brooklyn and have never felt unsafe. The subway is dirty and has regular delays, but it runs 24 hours and is the fastest way to get around. Occasionally you'll encounter crazies or bums, but just stare straight ahead or switch train cars at the next stop. There are plenty of great music venues and comedy clubs that aren't super expensive (besides drinks). Central Park is great. I used to go and read at Cleopatra's Needle just about every week. The Met, the MoMA, Nautral History Museum, and Whitney are all worth going to. The Staten Island ferry is free and the cable car to Roosevelt Island is $3 - both give you great views of the city. Skip Manhattan Chinatown and go to Flushing's Main St. and eat somewhere with no whites - it's basically China. Avoid the dollar spots and get a good slice of pizza somewhere in Brooklyn. Most good bars stay open until 4 AM so stay out late and get a sandwich while walking back. Most "New Yorkers" you'll encounter aren't actually from there, so most people are generally friendly. It's the city government workers that are natives and generally assholes.

>>2910897Stop being afraid of niggers. But don't trust them either if they approach you. Get yer hackles up like you're ready for a fight if a young buck starts honing in on you. Spoiler: they won't approach you unless they are pathetic broke ass beggars. USA is their natural habitat thanks to muh slAVerY. Don't forget, the revolution happened to escape British regulation of slavery, and the slave trade was only b& in 1816 to protect the market value of the existing slaves. Truth is, most Americans only care about getting richer, and with nobody carrying cash anymore, you're not gonna get richer by mugging or pickpocketing, so everyone will ignore you.>>2910905I have been two months traveling the US and have not tipped or donated a single dollar.
I visited New York in June 2025 and absolutely fell in love with it. What I loved most was the atmosphere: the incredible skyscrapers, the skyline, the Art Deco architecture, the lights, the sheer energy of the city, and even its capitalist character and image of power. There was something about the combination of ambition, density, architecture, wealth, and constant activity that I found incredibly exciting.It made me wonder: which cities around the world do you think come closest to New York in terms of atmosphere and overall feeling?A few Americans told me that Chicago would probably be the closest equivalent. Hong Kong also seems like a strong candidate I guess.What other cities would you put on the list? Would you say Chicago and Hong Kong are the closest, or are there other cities that get the New York feeling even better?
>>2909861lad, where are you staying and how much you paying? im not poor by any means, but fk hotels are expensive in NYC. how do people afford to holiday there
>>2909934I stayed at the Marriott, right near Times Square, and I think it’s definitely the best place to stay rather than choosing a hotel farther away from Manhattan. I paid around $2,500 for all my trip of one week. I didn’t go to any theaters, though. However, I the food is very expensive in America.

>>2910306Bullshit. I've been surrounded by rowdy white highschoolers drinking, blasting music and leaping across a gasoline-fueled bonfire in the outlands of Colorado. How did it happen? I was sitting in my van at their party spot. Too bad the sheriff had to show up all too soon and send them all sprinting into the woods. If you terminally online "muh incel"posters ever got outside you would discover that life is full of exceptions to every rule. >>2910324Once again who cares about age.

I have two weeks of annual leave coming up starting next week, but nowhere planned. I keep trying to hype myself to go somewhere, but as a 35 solo traveller it feels pointless.Any advice guys?Earlier this year I hiked the Rota Vincentina in Portugal, and it was a positive experience overall, but I don't know if I can get myself motivated to spend another 10 days walking alone and camping etc. I've considered Japan (expensive flights, monsoon season), PNW (expensive costs & hotels), New England (expensive hotels) and the GR34 hiking route in France (only campsites).
>>2908228cityfags sure do say the dumbest shit

Tell me about Vatican City.Is it overrated? Is it beautiful? Is it worth going as a non-believer?
>>2908391>Is it overrated?Not at all.>Is it beautiful?Very beautiful.>Is it worth going as a non-believer?Yes.It is immense and jaw dropping, but to get the best out of your stay, do a guided tour. I'm certain you will always remember it, it has to be one of the most aww inspiring places in the world. >pic unrelated
It's definitely worth seeing, just from an art, history, cultural perspective. Much like Amritsar, Mecca, Jerusalem.And pro tip, because a billion religeous tourists built all the infrastructure you can just drop in some time none of them, or all of them will be there, and you're more likely to see the pope or meet a cardinal on a business day at the Vatican then in tourist week, the locals and clergy must also plan their affairs around the mass religeous tourism. They actually really like spending time with people who won't ask them a million stupid bible questions.
St. Peter's is stunning and awe inspiring. If you are into history/art, the museum is great, it would be boring if that does not interest you. If you do the museum, book an evening tour... costs more, but worth it as it will be crowded but WAY less si than during the day.
The pope is a demon you should avoid the Vatican if you are Christian

I’m driving from Chicago to Denver for a wedding in mid-October and taking a full week off work, so I’d like to turn the drive into a road trip rather than just making the 15-hour drive each way.I’m looking for suggestions for interesting stops along the way, both going to Denver and back to Chicago. I’m not looking for anything too elaborate. Basic sightseeing, interesting towns, parks, short hikes, scenic areas, good/unique food, roadside attractions, etc.I’m traveling on a budget, so I’ll probably be using campgrounds or sleeping in my car at hotels/truck stops. I’d appreciate recommendations for campsites, quiet/secluded places to stop for the night, or good rest areas.I’m open to taking a slightly longer/scenic route if there are worthwhile things to see. I’d love to hear about any hidden gems, odd roadside attractions, local restaurants, or places that are easy to miss along the Chicago/Denver route.Please recommend me things.
>>2908705Denver has Red Rocks.
Here is what I have planned so far:There are two museums I would like to visit on my way to Omaha: the I-80 Truck Museum and the Iowa Aviation Museum. To have enough time at both locations, I will need to leave home at around 6:00 AM. That should give me approximately two hours to explore each place.The second museum closes at 5:00 PM, which would put me somewhere around halfway between Des Moines and Omaha after roughly a 12 hour day.If I follow this plan, the first part of the trip will require me to make good time on I-80, with little opportunity for exploring smaller towns or taking local roads. However, after the second museum and before finding a place to camp, I can slow things down and take a more leisurely drive toward Omaha.There is also the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska, which I would really like to visit. Unfortunately, it does not open until 10:00 AM, and spending a couple of hours there would mean not leaving the area until around noon. That would put me significantly behind schedule for getting to Denver, so I will probably save that museum for the return trip.
>>2907366Go through SD and the badlands, only good part of that stretch
>>2908850There's the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum in Ashland. It's also near Omaha, and personally I think it'd be more interesting than the Iowa Aviation Museum.
>>2907366Best I can think of for this route is the Hoover library in West Branch Iowa and Omaha in general which has some cool sites like the Gerald ford birthplace
>light green - is main destination>dark green - places of high interest>goal of trip - street food, fine dining and relaxation (Schwarma; Kokoretsi; seafood e.g Καλαμάρι Τηγανητό [entire bodies not rings], Octopus, Mussels)>request - cities or villages with cheap accommodation and cheap foodI'm not there for sight-seeing. I just want to lay in a good cool bed all day with a nice shower area, wake up late and go eat seafood, purchase an energy drink or two and sit with my laptop or a book in bed.Not lazy at all. I've just been hiking the last couple of months photographing Scotland. It has taken all my energy and now I think I deserve to be lazy. So my heavy camera is staying at home.Am an Arma 3 fan, so I was thinking Lemnos and its southern Island. Thessaloniki as a starting place. Have been to Greece before (Lamia and its coastal villages). So Greece and its abysmal public transport isnt new to me. Will be there for 14 days and need the weather to be consistently 24-28°C. Possibly at the end of my trip, may enter Southern Albania then go home.So can you guys advise me some towns, villages, cities which would best suit me?
Retarded. Just go to turkey ir albania for one third the price
End of September and start of October is an awesome time to go since the weather will be great wherever you go.While I haven't personally been to Lemnos, I do know people who have. I think it is a great idea if you just want to chill out. Also consider Lesvos because the food is great and its a bigger island with more diversity (especially if you have a car and can drive around), These islands are great because they aren't super touristy.Wouldn't really reccomend Epirus especially because you want to eat seafood and relax.Maybe stay a few nights in Thessaloniki and then the rest in an island like Lemnos or Lesvos. There are great ψαροταβέρνες in Thessaloniki like ψαροταβέρνα 'Ηλίας',. Do a bit of research, some of these places don't even have fixed menu's because whatever is cooked is whatever is fresh in season and available. With fish, always ask what fresh fish they have for the specifc day you are there. There is a really good small ψαροταβέρνα like this in Νεοι επιβάτες called καπετάν φουρτούρνας. Bit far from central Thessaloniki though. Also maybe consider the Peloponnese (particularly Messinia, Kalamata) and Kephalonia. Try and find out of the way places to eat, they will always be cheaper than spots in the centre which are tourist traps. That's basically all I can say. Have fun.
>>2911066Ironically enough, this is no longer the case. At least in the case of Turkey. There have been many Turks that have started travelling to Greece rather than domestically solely for this reason. I imagine Albania is still cheaper especially in villages and out of the way places. I haven't been so I don't know.
>>2911061>picture doesn't include Cretethis holiday has failed before it started
