Montevideo, Uruguay seems like it has relatively low crime. Little high price but that keeps the riff raff away, right? Anyone who can tell me more about Uruguay's capital city?
>>2897595Good people, good food, BORING. I recommend you to go in a 2/3-day trip from Buenos Aires and that's it.
>>2897595>So what's so wrong with this place?It's not actually any safer than Argentina these days, I guess it's a bit more financially stable if you really need that.>Little high price but that keeps the riff raff away, right?It's mostly distance, "boring" culture and not being dirt cheap that keeps casual tourists and passport bro riff raff away, but most of that applies to Argentina as well. If you mean the riff raff from LATAM, well the Uruguayan government shows solidarity with it's socialist brothers and invites any deadbeat Venezuelans or Cubans that want to come. I guess some people like the very chill/boring vibe, do what >>2897595 says and see if it's for you.
Its high crime, its putrid people, ugly and boring other than that,,,,,
Looking for location recommendations for my first trip with my gfShe's going on a 3-week trip to Japan next year with friends, which is totally perfect for her as she's hyper organised and concerned about safety and cleanliness. Plus likes anime and Disney.I want to have a trip with her before, for her first ever international trip, but struggling to think of a better destination.>South Korea seems like a lesser version of Japan. >SEA countries are probably too chaotic and dirty for her, although the adventure could be fun. How's Thailand?>She also likes Paris, and it has a Disney World like Tokyo, but it's also dirty and Europe is expensive (we're in Australia). And we may go on a bigger Europe trip at some point.>Something tropical like Fiji or Hawaii might be romantic and safe, but also boring?>Said straight up no to Africa
>>2882625bump
>>2883901ignore the trv shitposter. His name is Stephen
>>2885730>One of my best friend is a beautiful German girl. Turns out she's Turkish on both sides of the family.Sooo...not German
>>2886743The answer is you get laid yourself while she's gone.
>>2888656Talk to her about it and tell her you want to go to so you can spend time with her. If she says no don't say you aren't comfortable with her going, that will do nothing but cause problems, whether she stays to make you feel better or goes anyway.Yes renting an apartment with guys is intimate, going on a trip where she is almost certainly going to get drunk with guys who she's going back to the same apartment with is an issue.But honestly dude, if you like a lot you just have to decide to trust her. Just decide yes or no, because you can't have a real, healthy relationship with a woman if you're second guessing her every time she's away from you. If she's going to fuck some other guy she's gonna do it regardless of what you say, and if she's not going to then not only will you hurt her by no trusting her, but you'll make her fucking another guy more likely because she'll be pissed off at you.If you decide to trust her just let her go, check in, be sincerely interested in how she's doing, check in with her often, especially at night/before bed, but don't smother her.If you decide not to trust her then just do what >>2897621 said and fuck another girl while she's gone to keep the score even. Though you honestly don't sound like you know how to do that.Either way, decide before she leaves and have the willpower to stick with your decision.
I'll be traveling to Romania in August, and since Ruse is only two hours away from Bucharest by bus, I've decided to spend 3-4 days in northern Bulgaria before I start exploring Romania. What other cities or landmarks in the north are worth seeing while I am there?
Make a stop in Shumen to visit the 1300 Years Monument.
Sofia was mid for me, 2 days or 3 at most, are fine. I was there for 4 days and on last day, I felt there wasnt anything interesting to see anymore. Visited Plovdiv for one day, ruins are alright, but nothing special. Overall, kinda underwhelming trip
Just stay in Romania and avoid Bulgaria
>>2896291The north, west of Ruse is a desolate wastelandVisit the castle left over from the Romanian occupation in Balchik, Tutrakan is also a notable place for a visit if you are into history Geographically it is boring
>>2897549>The north, west of Ruse is a desolate wastelandName a place that isn't a desolate wasteland in Bulgaria.
I've got Autism and mild social anxiety and looking for a peaceful less crowded location in Japan to book my hotel for the last 10 days (Going mid Feb to early March 2028),I can handle huge crowds for a few days and will be booking 5 days in Shiba park hotel to explore Tokyo and spend 1 day travelling to see Mt. Fuji For the final 13 days I'm looking for somewhere which isn't overcrowded and has cool places to take photo's and experience a more real Japan
>>2897386I don't mind crowds as long as it's not claustrophobic like Shinjuku Real Japan is the wrong word I meant more locations which aren't touristy
>>2897214the hiroshima/miyajima area was quite nice and picturesque and should have less crowds than the usual Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto crowds. Yokohama and Fukuoka were quite nice if you want a city life without nearly as much tourists.be warned though, the best place for someone with autism/social anxiety is honestly Tokyo. Just about every establishment deals with english speakers and most of the restaurants are fully or partially automated. Hiroshima will have the more classic food stall experience but that comes with an actual test of basic Japanese ability
>>2897214Are you looking for something rather remote and off the beaten track? Or something just less intense than Tokyo?Matsuyama is a place I liked a lot. It's a bit out of the way. The railway travels south along the coast, and with the sun setting in the afternoon it makes it feel a little like a journey to the end of the world. It's a little fitting, because you could translate the name of the famous onsen (Dogo Onsen) there to "Road's End". It has a connection to the renowned author Natsumi Soseki, being the setting of one of his most famous novels, Botchan. It's not a small city but it had a fairly laid back feel. I also enjoyed visiting the mountain top castle. That being said I don't know if you could fill 10 days there (though there are surely things to do nearby as well).
>>2897508Less intense than the major cities like Tokyo and osaka

Barged into the ladies, no-one in there. Two cubicles. Got to work in one of them, nearly finished, and a roastie comes in. GTFO as quick as I could and escaped undetected.

I genuinely don't see why i don't just fly there, dissapear forever. My cousin spent 2 years between indonesia and the Philipines as a surfer and said to me why waste my life in the shithole uk rather than go live frugally in paradise, do nikah get married have kids there. He said the government is likely to simply make me pay a fine if i have a wife and kids and they won't remove me after 20 years because ill have dependants and the uk won't take them as my wife wouldn't meet the income threshold. I am kinda fucked into being a NEET, left highschool at 12, started working in the trades due to family hookups and hated school, did it all unqualified but was making bank as a teenager.

>>2897043Aceh is not paradise, but whatever. Indonesia is crime ridden, noisy, dirty, etc. Marriage should come with permanent residency. Of course the immigration office will milk you for fees, but it's better to get upfront approval for residency as a foreign spouse instead of staying illegally and subjecting yourself to the risk of extortion. The Indo geomaxxer on the site had to pay $7000 USD fine when he got caught without the proper residency papers; the fine amount was based on the length of overstay, which for him was a couple years IIRC. Sumatra is very crime ridden BTW. People will scheme ways to get your money, it's a given. And because you don't work for your money, they won't stop trying to milk you dry every month. So you need more of a hood mentality than a paradise mentality when dealing with locals.>>2897048They won't jail you if you agree to pay up.
What are some things I can do to squeeze some unexpected joy or unpredictability from my holiday to Washington DC? I'll be there for a week, including during 4 July.I've only been on holidays abroad a few times during my adult life, to a few European capitals, as a Brit. I go alone, walk a lot, visit museums, avoid all non-fast food restaurants, talk to no one, feel sad during the holiday, then feel much sadder when it ends.Unlike previous holidays to Paris, etc., I have actual expectations. I think DC will be swampy and humid. I think the city itself, apart from a few parts of Georgetown, will be very boring to walk through. I will probably fill my time with museums. I will visit Walmart.I think the buildings will be cuboids made of plastic.I am sure I will miss it when I leave but I expect it to be extremely gigamogged by Paris. I don't think cities even exist in the USA, apart from New York.
OP here. I am nearing the end of my trip. It has been good, though I doubt I'll come back for a very long time. I went to many of the museums and predictable places.The city became more pleasant after the blazing sun was covered by clouds after the first few days. DC is probably good to live in but it feels quite bizarre in how generic the downtown and other parts feel.I went to Old Town Alexandria and it was nice, though even the grid-like street means I wasn't majorly impressed. I checked Wikipedia and it votes overwhelmingly Democrat, like the /pol/ memes.I went to McDonald's every day, except for two days where I had Chick Fil A and Raising Cane's for the first time, but they were meh. I managed to resist the junk food in the store every day except for two, where I didn't majorly overeat. I had flavours of Ben and Jerry's, Skittles, and M&Ms that are not found in the UK.The Air and Space Museum was a highlight, along with the transport section of the American history museum.My final walk ended up with me sitting in Dupont Circle in a pleasantly warm and bright evening, where it was very lively, almost like the simulation was taunting me with what I'd be leaving behind.I know DC is unrepresentative but the USA clearly mogs the UK and I'm depressed that I'm going back to a socialist dump.
>>2895297navy yard is where the young republicans are(beyond cap hill which has always been mixed of course)and many republicans just live in the virginia suburbs, there's plenty>I went to McDonald's every day, except for two days where I had Chick Fil A and Raising Cane's for the first time, but they were meh. oh jeez its a giga-tistiI went to McDonald's every day, except for two days where I had Chick Fil A and Raising Cane's for the first time, but they were meh. I mean to be fair I had a shitty experience in the UK seemed pretty expensive and dumpy to me but that was 20 years ago, DC is not very nice, if it mogs the UK that's more of a reflection on how poor the UK is also you only stayed in generic tourist zones anacostia/outer se is another world
>>2895297If you want unique American regional thing to bring back, consider finding authentic Virginia gold tobacco, Virginia ham, or rye whiskey, which has its origins in Maryland. Virginia ham and tobacco were formerly quite prized in Britain. Rye whiskey is distinctly American. I have never seen anyone who isn't American drink it. Be warned. It has a much stronger flavor than Bourbon or Irish and is totally different from Scotch.

>>2897066>How many times have you travelled abroad on vacation?About 2 10-day-long vacations a year (summer and winter), plus a few shorter long-weekend based trips scattered throughout. >What do you most value when choosing locations abroad?1. Interesting tourist sites. Can be anything from museums, monuments, historic sites, national parks, caves, mountains, etc. Just need some kind of cool thing to do each day instead of just "hanging out"2. Some cool nightlife or travel scene so I have a chance to actually meet people, and possible get laid (though I've been unsuccessful in the laid part so far). I like cities that are fun to just walk around in and have cool vibes.Many great places have both of these. >Top 3 places you've visited (If you have travelled)Berlin, Budapest, Tbilisi >3 Popular places you think are overrated/have no desire to visitI like most places I visit desu, but my least favorite main stop was Vienna. The sites were all cool, but the vibe of the city was pretty soulless. I think I'd like it more as 70 year old retiree with a wife, but as a young solo traveler I'd prioritize elsewhere.Among places I haven't been, I have no desire to visit Thailand. Cambodia and Vietnam just look more interesting, and all Thailand has is hookers, which I'm not interested in.>5 places you'd love to visit (Country and region/city)Too many to list. Lebanon, Israel, Iran, Kazakhstan, SEA, Russia, the Dakotas
I've traveled out of the the US about 12 times. I've done Mexico, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, Czech, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Greece, Netherlands and Belgium. I like castles, waterfalls, medieval cities, ski resorts, mountains, biking, rafting, eating out, beaches, girls, museums, bars, old churches and just wandering around looking at old stuff. My favorite 3 cities in the world so far have been Seville Spain, Chamonix France and probably Verona Italy. I'd throw Cordoba Spain, Dubrovnik Croatia, Madrid, Prague and Rome as honorable mentions. I hated Portland Oregon. The city was disgusting. I've never seen so many homeless junkies. Half the businesses were closed. And the food was horrible. I probably won't do London. No desire to see a Muslim city in Europe. I wouldn't do Russia if you paid for my trip. I've never met a Russian that I liked. I'm doing a 2 weeks snowboard trip in the Dolomites in Italy in February. I want to do a road trip from Gdasnk to Krakow next year. Tokyo is definitely on the agenda. Phuket Thailand for sure. I want to do a trip down the Rhine and see some German towns. Definitely want to do Portugal too.
>>2897307>SlovakiaUS here like youI'd like to visit Slovakia and my GF jokes saying: "It's the country where they filmed Hostel."Do you have any travel tips? What are the people like?

I'm leaving for Dublin, IE, tomorrow for reasons. This is supposed to be all leisure but I never would have picked Dublin as a destination. I'm an American and I grew up with leprechaun green puke Irish Americans. Irish culture seems, to my understanding, to be relatively parochial and insular. I don't have any sentimentality about Ireland, the suffering Irish, their sad poets and so on. I understand it has merit but I've never had any enjoyment from it. I don't see a lot of hip culture coming out of Ireland. My question is, what can I do to enjoy Dublin as a *Northern European*? Is there anything cool, in the sense of chic, to be enjoyed?
As an American, three days in the city were a bit too much for me. We went to the emigration museum, saw some churches, book of kells . . . Went to the main strip of bars. Went to the main walkway for shopping. That was it. There was fuck all to do. Two days would've been fine. I wish we would've explored more of the country.
>>2897356It's just no one cares about particulars of your background and god forbid youre one of those gobshites who talk about the "old country". Ireland and UK are entirely different form rest of Northern Europe.Not really there's world class art galleries and history museums. Check out the National Museum of Ireland and the National Gallery. Bog bodies, old celtic golden art, medieval art etc. All free too. Take a trip to Howth for a quick day hike or Brayhead walk down south. With more time Glendalough in Wicklow. West Cork and Kerry are the most scenic parts of this country IMHO.Most Irish are badly read and dont care about poets etc.>>2897369Lol yes. There's good hikes and walks near Dublin though. Best rent a car and go around the country. Maybe a camper van and wild camp or stay in a campsite.
>>2897384>Reeeee I want to draw boundaries around shit that no one else cares aboutYou are dull and annoying!
Dublin sucks. Spend one day and then go to Edinburgh.
People go to Ireland for drinking overpriced shit and heritage shit.
I have a history with poor mental health, but I've been working on it for the past year or so. I used to get bad anxiety going anywhere really, but for the past couple of years I've done shorter road trips, then longer road trips, then short trips abroad, and it's gone quite well really. I honestly thought I had my anxiety under control, so this summer I planned a five week road trip to Northern Norway. I'm currently on day three and I'm having full blown panic attacks, and I want to go home so bad. It's very unexpected to say the least, I've been on more demanding trips the past year without issues. I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do. Some more info:>I'm Norwegian, driving my own car>my destination was Lofoten, Vesterålen and Senja>traveling alone, focusing on hiking>currently in the sticks in Trøndelag, about a 9 hour drive from home>I have some accomodation booked further north, but I was also planning on doing some wild camping, the thought of which further fuels my anxiety>weather forecast is mildly shit, lots or rain in the coming days, but decent temperaturesAny advice? The only thing keeping me going is that I've told everyone at work I'm going to Lofoten, and I don't want the humiliation of not even making it halfway. If I could just cancel the whole trip knowing no one cared, I would honestly.
>>2897410Anxietyfags always make their anxiety the centerpiece of their identity and then wonder why it controls them instead of the other way around. Travel is always full of uncertainty, and screwups/oversights are inevitable. But instead of solving problems as they arise and learning from your errors to do better next time, you mentally masturbate yourself into a full-blown panicgasm over the thought of screwing up or having bad luck. The only conclusion a logical person can draw is that anxietyfags revel in their anxiety, just like a scab picker loves the pain of peeling back his scab before it is healed.

Unironically if you are innawoods using a digital trail map or flashlight you do have a valid use case for a power bank, but not if you're a cityfag.
