i need to move out of my moms house. Ive realized this undeniably. I have bad renting history though from when i was younger, and no friends really. I do have an income, its not from a job though.

So I need to find month to month housing. No BS, pay up front at the beginning of the month, type of thing. Ive heard from others that this exists but i have no idea how to find it. Any actual landlords I've tried to talk to about it won't touch me with a thousand foot pole. so I need no commitment, month to month.

please /trv/, hear my plea.

Then maybe move?
What you are looking for are "furnished apartments" which often have month to month or pre-determined lease pricing like pay for 12 months and stay.

In the midwest I can find 1br for 650 with ease,sounds like you have no credit. Maybe try to get some credit card and make some purchases paying them off immediately.

i already have my own furniture, and would prefer to use my own rather than someone elses. Whats so crazy to me is that the furnished places are cheaper than the non furnished ones.

>Whats so crazy to me is that the furnished places are cheaper than the non furnished ones.
Often these are aimed at lower/fixed income or people who just moved into the area, they aren't meant for families either. They are often lower because they are trying to keep things occupied as people constantly do monthly leases.

They aren't bad just visit first

>i already have my own furniture, and would prefer to use my own rather than someone elses
So... Bring it? just because it's furnished doesn't mean you can't have your own desk or chair or whatever the fuck it is you like. You just have to put all the furniture the way it was when you moved in whenever you move out

Considering visiting China. Quite cheap for me to get there because I am aussie. I have only solo travelled South America before. I have no Mandarin but will just get the basic phrases before I leave.

Any tips, stories, recommendations, or hidden gems? I really have no idea where to go bar Hong Kong and Shanghai and Beijing, but am currently just looking at random spots on pic rel and seeing what is interesting. Is Yan'an any good? Apparently you can partake in a mock battle in a 1940s PLA uniform which sounds fun.

China's amazing. It's cheap as shit and ultra high quality. Food is great. Virtually every woman is a hooker who will suck and fuck you so no shortage of poon.

But it's closed off as fuck. No swift banking. No Google maps. Once you're in it's like falling into a black hole. The outside world ceaeea to exist and official contact with it is extremely difficult.

Make sure you have some kind of back up method for getting cash. And don't believe any skanky lookin bitch in shanghai who wants to take you to ktv or tea or something. They order cheap shit sparkling wine then ask you to pay like 500 aussie dollars for it. It's a scam.

Was in Transsylvania 2 years ago. Sibiu, Brasov, Sighisoara and Bran. Can definitely recommend it. Also not so many tourists in November. Bran castle was a bit shit but there's nice hiking in the region. Only negative is that the trains are slow as fuck. Overall very cheap and fun country though.

Planning on going to the Northeast this time. Iași, wooden churches and stuff like that. Anyone been in that region, how is it?

quite cool
you can do a UNESCO round trip and basically see all the best things like Tunis, Sousse, Ichkeul, El Jem etc.

Sidi Bou Said is a bit overrated and especially touristy in my opinion
but for most still worth a visit

Star Wars filming locations is also a cool itinerary

It's less crowded than Morocco
but also the tourist infrastructure is less well developed
I'd say super budget trips as well as luxury ones will be more difficult than Morocco

and I wouldn't advice to go in any other North African country except those 2 at the moment

Not really. He's just being pretentious from the other direction. Why even think of the idea of proving something to somebody? It's just spice level. Just say "medium" and move along, like when someone asks you what size milkshake you'd like or how many pubes you want on your prostitute.

Are there any dangerous/difficult travel destinations that are worth it for the average traveler? For those of you who have traveled to unusual travel destinations (place like Haiti, Mali, etc) what made the risk worth it for you?
>>
Iran, Russia (Chechnya especially) and Pakistan are probably one's best bets. Never been to any but they're undeniably unique and could be dangerous.
Also if you go to Syria or Iraq, you could be one of the last people to see some of the final remaining remnants of those cradles of civilization before they get blown up in WW3.
Wonder if anyone sees genuine interest in Myanmar right now, too

Iran is not dangerous at all and quite easy to travel (I guess less so with a US passport). Was there in 2018 amidst all the nuclear deal stuff and it was still relaxed.
Russia is probably chill as well but idk for sure.
I'd recommend Lebanon, Congo and Mauretania. Algeria is probably nice as well.

I used to want to be a monk, and did something like this. wasted lost of time and money and dropped out in the end, demoralized. Then I eventually discovered psychedelics and realized I fell for a meme and I literally couldve become more spiritually enlightened through psychedelic experiences and freelance spirituality than by any of the garbage i practiced. Now, I just look at all monks and laugh.

also, if you didnt grow up in the buddhist faith, youll never be able to truly get it. you can incorporate it into your beleifs, but you will never truly understand their culture, customs, or the true meanings and symbolisms in their stories youd have to be a part of the culture to understand. SO, in the end, you will never be anything more than a poser by going this path.

If I want to go to Thailand for 1-2 months, is it worth going out of my to go to Chiang Mai and for how long should I go?

I'm thinking I'll stay in Bangkok for 1 month and then get a round trip to Phuket for 2 weeks, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the quick turnaround of also trying to fly out to Chiang Mai, on the other hand though a round trip to Chiang Mai is only like $50 so it's more about time than money. Is 1 month in Bangkok too long? It's cheaper to book an Airbnb that way but should I stay in Phuket some time instead? Phuket has beach access while Bangkok doesn't, but I feel like I like cities more than beaches anyway. Is Chiang Mai nice enough to stay for several weeks? Should I just do 2 weeks in Bangkok, 2 weeks in Phuket, 2 weeks in Chiang Mai? I feel like 2 weeks isn't long enough to get used to Bangkok

I went in October/November and really enjoyed it. Cool storms, dramatic skies, nice breeze, and only a handful of days were rained out. I'm from California though so I probably find thunderstorms neat in a way most people don't, it's got novelty.

Bangers is good for a week, tops. The blade runner dystopian vibe gets old and once you’ve seen the temples and all the other tourist shit the only thing to do is get hammered and fuck whores. Chiang Mai is a chill college town, not much to do but it’s laid back as fuck and it’s much more relaxing. Don’t go to Pattaya, it’s worth a visit to see the degeneracy but it’s kinda like Vegas in that you wanna do a weekend there but not stay long term.

I'm looking for a Walden's pond type retreat to focus on writing my magnum opus. I don't care for the social scene - just need a place where I can live alone with clean, simple food available nearby for low prices. Should of course be comfortable enough that I am not inconvenienced by the weather or the traffic. Pollution should be minimal as well.

Thoughts?

Vermont.

Maine isn't as pretty as the hype outside of a few areas, and it's long drives with nothing but white trash in between.

NH is pretty and a great outdoor adventure state, but it's extremely crowded with tourists. The food's also pretty bad. It's just not as relaxed.

Vermont is serene, and the tourism crowds feel non-existent compared to NH. It's pretty in virtually every corner of the state. It's very lush green and something about the place makes all of your worries disappear. The people are also infinitely nicer than NH or Maine.

The further north, the safer. The loop is probably fine, just keep your wits about you. Lincoln Park is a good combination of safety, nightlife, and proximity to downtown/the lake.

IDK, I lived in center city philly and while Market and JFK become desolate at night, the rest of downtown (called center city) is happening af. Tons of people out, plenty of lively bars and restaurants. Maybe because it's an east coast city, which are denser I guess?
I have barely traveled west. Chicago's as far west as I've gone in 20 years.
