Has anyone visited many of these? I've been to a lot of US National Parks, but not many in Canada. Looking at this map some look pretty remote. What's the point of having so many that you can only get to by plane? (I know that's not the reason to designate an area, but you still need people to visit them to make a point of having them). At least a dozen of those are practically impossible to visit without expensive charter planes and even if you could there are literally no facilities like camping grounds or towns to get supplies.
Not a national park, but is Montreal worth a 7 hour drive to visit this Thanksgiving?
>>2839086Quebec City >> Montreal
>>2834226>Can't you just snowmobile through the park in the winter (and if strictly forbidden: just to the corner of the park and then continue on ski?)lolgood luck riding several hundreds of kilometers in a snowmobile
>>2839223I thought so too, but Quebec City is an extra 3 hours, and I'd like to do one city at a time. Also I'd like to take a day trip to Ottawa. Maybe QC some other time. I already booked anyway. I just hope I don't get BTFO by snow when driving.
>>2832923That actually sounds badass anon I had no idea The Terror was a real thing I really would like to go there someday just to prove I can.
Q&A time..
$50 cash gets 30 days on arrival for burgersI've heard hotels in Sri Lanka are cheaper than in southern India. Is that true? I'd like to travel to the island in early 2026 before flying back into India or else flying onward to Southeast Asia.
Nobody else is going to Sri Lanka this winter?Picrel looks perfect for my travel style. Step off the bus, cross a highway and get a room at this secluded hotel. I want to first compare the geography and quality of life in selected destinations across all of the southern Indian states before heading over to Sri Lanka, and then flying out of Sri Lanka either back to India, onward to Bangkok, or both with an IndiGo multi-city ticket.
When I was younger I was super jealous of my friends who got to go to Disneyland every year. When I brought it up to my parents they'd laugh and say it was a waste of money. Now that I'm an adult and have disposable income I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to go for a few days to see what I missed. Can someone give me a non middle aged woman with disney brain worms perspective on what it'd be like for someone with no children? Is it true that people are paying the price of a nice australian or european vacation to wait in lines all day and buy $30 burgers? I like smaller amusement parks (think myrtle beach) but have never been to anything larger.
>>2839061>magic Kingdom also doesn't have splash mountain anymoreok my chance of me going to disney land went from 1 percent to zero
>>2838950>Pffft, fuck no. For a fraction of the cost you can hit up knotts berry farm with its superior rides during the day and then go across the street to medieval times and get drunk and eat chicken.Real talk. I really love the food at Knott's Berry Farm. That Barbecue Chicken and the Funnel cakes hit the spot. I would always go to Knotts if debating on which park to go
>>2839366I like Knotts Berry, but Six Flags has the best rollercoasters in California. X2 is worth the trip by itself over Knotts. But Knotts is better around Halloween. Knotts Scary Farm is amazing. They really do Halloween right. Going to a theme park in the summer in southern California is stupid though. It's insanely crowded in the parks and there are so many good beaches.
>>2837359I'm in a similar boat. Went to Universal this year with my gf and had a blast. I second >>2837711, nothing compares to Disney and Universal. It makes Six Flags seem like a county fair. I also second >>2837427. Although Universal and Disney both appeal to children because families generate much more revenue than solo or couples, Universal is much more all-ages than Disney is. Outside of the specific kiddie areas (Dr. Seuss in IOA, Dreamworks in Studios and How to Train Your Dragon in Epic) I saw a ton of adults without children there, especially once it gets late around 6-7 PM. Disney is really all-in on kids which makes everything kind of juvenile but also makes the experience worse because everything is designed around parents trying to provide their kids with a dream Disney vacation. Referring to Florida for all of this, don't know anything about California.The easiest cost savings is simply not staying in the resort hotel. The themeing there is really only going to impress small kids and there's no need to stay on grounds when you don't have to pack 4 kids in the car and constantly go back and forth because one is tired or another forgot something. Resort hotels are $200-300 a night and you can easily find a decent quality hotel in Orlando for less than $100. Tickets and food aren't cheap (although if you want to save money you can just pack PB&Js but the food is often fun and whimsical) but for one person or a couple it's only really comparable to a European vacation if you're on a shoestring budget or going to the parks every day for a week. If you go when schools are in session (think September or March) it's also a lot cheaper and a lot less crowded to the point where you won't need any flash passes.

what is Laos like?
>>2829684never been a colony of a Western power when almost every nation around waslookup Opium Wars (China)and think of a proper, legit revenge any honorable society would plan to admister after becoming world leader in most of the cutting edge technologies
>>2829760thanksbetter than lonely planet directionsI'm craving to get on the road again
>>2839572 (me)>never been a colony of a Western powersorrymaybe was wrongFrench Indochinastill upholding my point
>>2839312There are more guesthouses than restaurants in Lao PDR. There are more gas stations than restaurants in Lao PDR.The biggest change in Laos is smartphones. Young village girls vchat with their sugar daddies in the local restaurants while dolled up. Often two girls will talk to one guy. Lao women hardly ever show off their bodies, only their faces (which are arguably the most beautifully proportioned in Southeast Asia). Being Buddhist, they put a serene expression on their face when in public.

Melbourne has been voted the best city in the world based on liveability, food, nightlife and culture. In your experience, is Melbourne really that good?

Heading to Melbourne for a few months for uni, any tips to make the most of it?
Going to Germany next month, but still undecided on wtf I should do. Should I spend a few days in Berlin area, then head down south to Munich area for final days, OR should I focus entirely on Northeastern Germany and just do day trips to all the cities near Berlin? I have 10 days. Also general Germany thread
>>2833460>>2836845The dresden browns are concentrated on very few districts>>2836308Drivethrough area
>>2839003>Do you think I should visit a museumSure why not but with all the transit times you look at 5max in the city, so that's pretty much go to Römer, do a smaller museum, get some food and enough time to plan for transit.
>>2839019How would I get some Mispelchen or Äppelwoi back with me though through the airport?Will they be ok with it?>>2839303Alright, sounds great! Thanks a lot :)
>>2839547>back with me though through the airport?If you have a bag to check-in that's absolutely no problem, with just hand luggage well the 100ml rule still applies.
>>2839550And double post because I'm retarded and just send posts.So do NOT check your checked luggage through, retrieve it in Frankfurt, put it into some locker/luggage storage for the day, put the Cider/Liquor in your checked baggage and check it in.That's the only way it will work.
Spending a week a friend's house in Venetto Italy. Went to Venice, Bologna, Rovigo, Verona, Revana, Forli.Pros:- Not insanely hot- Amazing Food- Beer is not as bad as I thought it woul be.- Everyone looks good, the wops are actually white.- Surprisingly affordable if you aren't dumb.- People are ridiculously friendly, not used to this since I grew up with southerners and they're absolute scum.- Verona is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.- Trains are decent.Cons:- Niggers- Jeets- AbdulsComment too long.

>>2836564Who in their right mind would rather add some artificially flavored palm oil & modified food starch "creamer" to their coffee when they have the opportunity to add real dairy cream? An Amerimutt, most likely. Mutts have an inordinate love of fake food products.
>>2836596I don't have cream nor creamer with my coffee. The former makes the coffee viscous too it's fucking gross.
>>2820149>walking around with their wallet in their front pocketWhat’s wrong with carrying your wallet in your front pocket?
>>2836832You should never have anything in your pants pockets, desu. It should always be in a be in a jacket pocket or a bag of some sorts. It is extremely uncouth and distasteful to have a visible outline of a wallet or phone in your pants which are likely far too tight.

What's the point of expensive hotel rooms?I don't mean suites I mean a basic room in an expensive hotel is basically the same as a cheap motel
>>2833548less likely to have bedbugs
you can find some turbo sketchy options on airbnb its fun searching just to see the strange hosts there's sketchy mattresses in basements, overbearing hosts with laundry lists of rulesdisheveled trailers with few photos where the host stays in trailer with you and promises he can be your personal chef and there's optional, voluntary calisthenicsthere's one where the host turns the wifi off at night to promote wellness a room share where you can't use the kitchen after 9airbnb can be a real gamble in the budget section so make sure to research them carefully
>>28369045% chance vs. 50% chance
>>2836904Cumstains on the walls are a very common sight in the budget rooms I've stayed in, but the bedding is usually clean. However in India there are many reports of the bedding being filthy, not changed from the previous guest. I'm not a germophobe, but too much filth (and bad smells especially) disgust me. If the mattress smells like it was dragged out of a garbage dump, that's unacceptable.In all my years of budget travel I have never once encountered bedbugs. Most Third World countries spray their rooms with toxic pesticides that kill bedbugs.
>>2837090Have had really good luck with airbnb. $50 for Venetian apartments in the most beautiful places I've ever been. All the way up until my last stay. Was advertised as an "entire apartment" but it was a loft room in some old fashioned tenement house run by an elderly couple. 1001 rules, floor creaks, got a bad review for leaving energy drink cans in the room but I think it was because I was up and making noise at 5am typically, 4chan was blocked (along with other sites) and I'm thinking they probably could see what was being searched and blocked on their network. Never staying in someone's home while they're around again.
I'm visiting The Netherlands for the second time, looking to explore more of the country outside of Amsterdam. Already got Haarlem, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Delft in mind, but are there any other places worth visiting for a day trip? I'm split between staying in The Hague or Rotterdam, idk which one is more interesting desu.Got 8 nights total!
Thinking about going to Amsterdam so found this thread, will I have to worry about scammers or thieves in Amsterdam? It doesn't seem like you hear that associated with Amsterdam the same way you do with the London/Paris/Italy. Just want to know if I can walk around high af without being paranoid
>>2838695Only in the tourist areas. Rest of Amsterdam is fine.
>>2838695just don't relax around arabs and blacks and you'll be fine
>>2838695I was just there last month for a week. We never saw anything sketchy. Until we went to the Red Light District at night. No one messed with us, but there were immigrants standing around selling drugs. I'd avoid that area unless you're in a group. The rest of the city was very safe. We walked around late at night all over the city and never had a problem.
>>2838883Generally speaking African migrants are way better behaved than Arab ones. They actually want to become productive members of society rather than refusing to learn Dutch, collect dole, live in state housing and raise gangs of teenage criminals. If you're in the Netherlands or Belgium, it's Arab migrants that you have to keep your head on a swivel around.>>2837814I was in Rotterdam a couple days ago, might visit again in December. Felt let down as besides the modern architecture, all Dutch towns kind of feel the same. Any recommendations for stuff to see/visit there?

>>2835498Thailand is great for foreigners who speak little and listen much. Memorize Thai numbers before you go, if you plan to do much buying from small vendors. I like to have a 50 baht bill on hand to give to a favored vendor. They are sadly rare in some parts of the country.
>>2835289Yeah they do it all the time. Just not with you.
>>2835498Have a lot more money than you do loser.
>>2828577>most popular tourist destination in the worldI mean it’s clearly not though? It’s not in the top 10 of countries most visited by international tourists. Spain, France, Italy, USA are ones that should just obviously be above it to anyone with a brain (and by numbers they in fact are)But even fucking Turkiye beats it. Factoring by how much money countries get from tourism vs overall visitors, even boring ass fucking Canada beats it.
>>2838207Tropics are our natural home as humansTherefore thailand beats all of them, or it should. But its good that it doesnt and all these retarded slaves visit their slave cities of concerete like paris.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GluDIopPEDk
this country looks pretty good to me: https://www.youtube.com/@ScramblerPOV/videosthe city looks cool and the nature also looks really goodAnyone been?fuck I really want to ride a motorcycle in Georgia... I'm thinking of getting one and driving from western Europe to Georgia through Turkey. Sounds fucking rad, please tell me i'm wrong and shouldn't start planning such a trip (i give myself 5 years including getting a motorcycle license and learning to drive that thing first)?
>>2836549I was treated very well as an American in Tbilisi in 2023. Maybe relations have gone downhill with Trump, but the locals mostly hate Russians. Bumble (like tindr) worked pretty well there for me, and it felt like half the profiles specifically stated "No russians". The other half were russian women.
>>2836549As if
I’m thinking of going mid-November. I mostly want to visit nature and villages. Does anyone know anything about Khevsureti? I hear it’s hard to access in winter, but mid-November might be doable. I speak English with a bit of Russian, and from what others have told me, both can get you by with younger people, though more so in Tbilisi than the country.
went to Tbilisi early 2020 just before the coof had an amazing time. the food & wine is incredible and extremely idiosyncratic. bassiani is the best nightclub i've ever been to. everybody was extremely friendly

I have nobody to travel with.How to meet people to make a travel group with?
I ended up booking a group tour with intrepid for one of their under 30(35?) groups. Was a pretty small group of 8 and everyone was pretty nice, did't feel like I was on a touristy tour group, but travelling with a group of friends, the guide was pretty chill too. we gathered to play games like uno every afternoon. A couple of people previously did group tours to places like Peru and Iceland and they were saying the vibes are generally all pretty good, and they kept in touch with some of the people. Immediately after returning home nobody really talked on the gc's anymore, but sometimes ppl would comment on my IG posts or reply to my stories. helped me be somewhat normal and not retarded after not having a lot of social interaction. solo travel just has a way of drawing others together I guess.
>>2833533I hope you experience this so you understand the actual bliss of solo travel by comparison.
>>2834679Based
>>2837949>sometimes ppl would comment on my IG posts or reply to my stories. helped me be somewhat normal and not retarded after not having a lot of social interaction. solo travel just has a way of drawing others together I guess.Same. Makes me feel normal every time my solo travel buds comment or reply back even after a year of not seeing each other.
>>2833533Post covid is a completely different world just like post 9/11 was, people are still figuring it out but as a general rule, making friends that are in the same position as you are is the easiest way to go about it
>finally have a good WFH job and financial stability for things like travelling>I'm almost 40it's over
>>2838795Just try it out for a holiday, it is really better in SEA, trust me. Just avoid the philippines and you will have much better experience than anywhere in Poland. Girls, food, accommodation, things to do - it's all better for a smaller price. You will need to adjust to their standards and ways of life, but with an open mind it is not a big issue. For 2500 net you can live quite lavishly and still manage to save.
