What's worth visiting in Ireland? I want to see some old Irish castles and visit the Tullamore Dew distillery. Any other recommendations?
ireland seems like comfy road trip sightseeing - lots of cool not specifically famous things to see that you would go to if you were in the area but not travelling to the country with it as a must visit
>>2873843I had one of the best times of my life in Dingle peninsula. Lots of old stuff, including bronze age ruins, down there. Small cozy vibes. Friendly people.It's in the Gaeltacht but only heard Irish once maybe twice, which is sad. The real problem with Ireland is how damn expensive it is. For me, I would only stick to the small rural soulful places. Truthfully places like Cork or Dublin really just feel like the UK and aren't magically different somehow. Great Blasket Island also looks cool.
>>2873878this basically, if you really want to see castles and manors you should go to france or germany
>>2873943Hi Enya, big fan
>>2873843I went there a few years back. I personally liked Giant's Causeway and St Patrick's Rock.
>suburban hotel with a massive, empty lot>parking fee: $15 per day
>>2882489usually because they know there's no other option and it's a popular area.
why is everything so expensive now?
>>2882580>they get somewhere around 5-30k€ when turning 18This shit makes me feel displeased and sad for my parents who didn't/couldn't.>>2882545>and hey son, how about paying me $300/month in rent for your bedroom?This is what I got hit with instead and somewhat after that went to live with my other parent.Of course living with them was god awful and crushingly depressing as well.
>>2878731>car (insurance, gas, etc) 5kBro wtf kind of garbage high APR car loan did you sign yourself up for and how many miles do you drive a month?>groceries 6kunironically if you don't have a family of 4 or more you need to seriously stop doordashing every meal you fat fuck and learn how to cook
>>28826075k is $417 a monthmy car note is $300/mo. i think it's around 3%6k is $500 a month or $115 per weekthat isn't a lot in trump's america
>>2882508Social media is painting a very distorted picture in your head anon. Most 20 year olds are broke
>>2882607>5k for a car all in all per car>garbage high APR car loan did you sign yourself up for and how many miles do you drive a month?nta but what the fuck are you talking about~420/month all in for a car is great (unless you don't use it)a shitty used car will cost you 20-30cents/kmusually more towards the upper end which would be ~17k km per year
Hi there /trv/I have lived in SoCal my whole life and was wondering what are fun things to do around here that are not Disneyland, SeaWorld, or a beach. There are tons of things that I have done here over the years but I cant think of anything exciting to do so thought I might see what cool things tourists or other locals have found or thought of that I wouldnt have.
It would be cool if it was as white as it was in the 70s. i feel like im being visually assaulted looking at the asian mixes.
>>2881849you wouldn't get it
>>2880609What do you suggest for lodging? I’m going with three other people and I think they want to do an air bnb. Also anything else I should know, this is my first music festival
>>2882422My advice would be not to go to Coachella. California prices are out of control. You could go to a music festival in Europe and spend 2 weeks traveling and it would cost less than 3 days in Coachella.
>>2881849free college after your service is done
Yes, I know. Long-distance relationships. They're not usually well-received. On the contrary, they're always seen as quite wrong. Even I didn't intend to have a long-distance relationship. I'm 30 years old now, and this is the first time I've fallen in love. I probably look awful, sorry. But anyway, I'm going to get to the point.Quick summary: I need money to go see the girl I like most in the world in Florida.Explanation: I have Asperger's, my country's government gives me a stipend that's more than enough to live here. But it's only enough for "absolutely necessary things to survive," not for loansI won't say the name of the girl I like for privacy reasons, sorry. From now on, I'll refer to her as "She."It's the first time I've been in love. This time, I have. The stomach pain I had three days ago, while "She" was away for more than 48 hours for work. "She" has a pretty dangerous job, and that's why I fully intend to go visit her, and if I'm lucky, live with her. I hope so. Please, let me dream for just once in my life. "She" likes me. We met almost a year ago playing a video game. Neither of us intended to like each other, but over time, it happened. Without realizing it, we started liking each other more and more.I want to do everything I can to pass the exam for the same job as "She" so I can be by her side."She," if you somehow manage to get here and read this. I love you. SO MUCH. You have no idea how much I love your personality. And your name, which I sadly can't mention here, is truly beautiful. The blush on your ears is the prettiest thing in the world.After all this rambling, which many might find disappointing or even disgusting to read, I'm doing everything I can to be with "She." This post is one of the possibilities I'm working on.The problem is the two-week time limit. I'm stupid for not preparing it better beforehand.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2876353CBP will not let you in my nigga. Even if you have a visa or visa free unless you have a return ticket out + hotel, etc Also if you are in Florida, go get tickets to Disney or whatever studios and say you also plan on going there.
>>2876534>disabilityIf the goverment pays you to be autistic do it somewhere else. This is free autism zone. Amateurs only, no professionals allowed.Can't save up like any other normal person?
2000 dollars of gibs at working age Some niggas have it easy. My ass is grinding to be able to afford anything meaningful
>gets 2k/month>doesn't have 1k of savingsOP is not autistic but retarded
>>2876529The rules of USA visas are the dumbest in the world. You will need to apply for tourist permits or anything else if you plan past the required time. You have to pay $185 American dollars. Wait for like 1 year. Pass their exam that’s written entirely on English language to make you fail. Then after all that, you can still be arrested by ICE. Not worth it, the girl should come to you on holiday. Euro is more accessible.
Anybody here have any experience with living in their car while traveling? I'm going to be traveling across the country in a few months and I'm trying to make a good setup for the back of my Rav4 but I keep seeing what seems like ads for these foldable bedframe/storage things.Is there something I'm missing with these? It seems impractical in the sense that you lose what little headroom you already have if you want to sit up and the storage requires you to get out and go all the way to the back of the vehicle and open the door to access it.Is there any reason I should consider getting one of these instead of just getting a single trifold mattress and having storage on the side of it?Any other tips would be appreciated as well as this is my first time making a trip like this
>>2879245I traveled through southern Europe in my car for a little more than a month. A bedframe would just be for comfort but I was pretty comfortable just laying on two yoga mats and a duvet beneath me with the added benefit that I could just roll it up when I was done. I would check out the weather for the trip, it gets uncomfortable and sweaty if its too hot but it works perfectly if its colder and you have enough blankets. I brought a solar charged night lamp (like 40$ off amazon) which was invaluable but most important was bringing a battery bank for my phone (i needed to charge a ton as i was using it as my gps when i checked out the cities). Hygiene was the difficult part if you want to be somewhat representible, I should have brought more wet wipes to regularly clean myself but instead I ended up getting a hotel every third night to wash up, charge my battery bank, laptop etc and just get a better quality nights sleep.It was a cheap trip and a lot of fun and I greatly appreciated my efforts to organize my limited space beforehand, I had boxes for everything and it made keeping everything neat and clean easier even in a small car.
>>2879367I am 6 ft tall and can sleep in my ford focus. i dont understand what you weirdos freak out about so much. very few people own truly small cars in america.>>2879644The window cover is definitely a goated tip. If I were more crafty I would make some 3D printed form fitted window cover that sits on top of the window and uses that small strip of open window as air intake (+exhaust on opposite window) using PC fans. I don't know how much air that could realistically push around but I run warm and rely on a lot of airflow. But anything would help.I would try car camping a lot if not for that I'm in Florida and already struggle as it is sleeping at a comfortable temperature. There's just no *real* solutions to properly cooling your car stealthy/off-grid. Lack of public shaded parking is another major obstacle but related to the cooling difficulty. It'd be one thing if I could park up somewhere deep in a parking garage.
>>2879245how many days? recline your passenger chair?
I've only slept out of my car a few times so I don't have too many tips but>get a planet fitness black membership/any other nation gym chain. It's nice to be able to shower and change somewhere. You can also get away with sleeping in their parking lots too.>do tinted windows if you can afford it. It's not a great feeling just having people walk by and being able to see you lying in the back of your carThe next time I sleep in my car, I'm going to try using an inflatable mattress instead of a sleeping bag. I'll report back if I do it sometime soon.
>>2882095There are smaller, 12V AC units or it's easy enough to build one with copper tubing, butane under pressure, and a fan.
What kind of religious sites have you gone to around the world and which were your favorite? Which are overrated?
>>2881399the modern concept of marriage as it exists in the western world today didn't exist in the same form in every society through history retardthere were plenty of religions that never gave a fuck about homosexuality. I doubt if many religious traditions even care if you like man ass and the fact that you view the entire world through this dichotomy of those who approve of you wanting to touch man ass and those who don't is a pretty insane and twisted binary to tell the truth
>>2881399Marriage exists to secure the wellbeing of the spouses' offspring, not for the comfort of the spouses themselves. Since homosexuals cannot naturally conceive children, they don't need marriage either.
Favourite: Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India (the place where Buddha achieved enlightenment). Bodh Gaya is a small town and there are very few Western tourists. There are lots of Tibetans and Asian tourists who have come because they are Buddhists. The way that people act around the temple is way different from any other religious site in India - respectful, clean an atmosphere of piety, not like it's just some tourist site like the Taj Mahal or Khajuraho's temples.
>>2881609By that explanation, they should go extinct as well.

Looking at a working holiday for a year all around Australia probably starting February Anybody else done this?
>>2882515Yeah I did that. it was kino. Had a dishwasher job making $28/hr. But I'm a USAfag, not ESL. You might end up doing slave shit in the farms if you're a thirdy. I didnt go all around oz though, i just stayed in one city
>>2882519Yeah I’m an American toolooking at bartending, but open to anything that isn’t a pain in the ass
>>2875397Indians only at this point. We have taken in so many Indians in two years they have overtaken the english in numbers

Is it worth going on a 9 hour drive to Nashville to see the country music museum? I only have a passing interest in country, but love the stories behind it.
>>2879653How long do you plan to stay?
>>2879663Two days at the most. This museum is literally the only thing that interests me about Nashville.
>>2879674Way too short for a 9 hour drive.Just wait till you have more free time to go for like 4 days. Nashville has tons of neat stuff to do. Or just fly
>>2879653its worth it to go to nashville just to sit in the bars and listen to music all day
As a white man, which country in the world can I go to feel the the way most Black men do in the west? A place where I'm not only a minority, but where the locals occasionally seethe at my existence, especially if I get near their women.
>>2878808Asia

>>2882501I was in the arcade just chilling playing maimai and chatting with a regular when one of her orbiters was getting jealous and trying to interrupt the conversation and amog me. She was ugly and had a different bf too
https://www.reddit.com/r/dating_advice/comments/1tchn81/dating_in_europe_ruined_dating_for_me_in_america/Anyone else have a similar experience to this OP? I feel like I just have way more attention as a burger in Eurostan compared to even NYC. Just the quality and the conversations I have. Like people say Americans are chatty but its always just superficial and truthfully most females my age don't even bother to hold conversations when approach and just give bitchy scowls, whereas I have had many succesful cold approaches in the various European places I have visited
>>2882293If you had exp you would know it's not easier while traveling, if you cant get any at home you got skill issued. Especially if you're from a western country that has a lot of foreign girls
>>2881914I'm Canadian but live in Europe for nearly a decade now, slept with about 30 women before getting married. CANZAC women are the worst, they are very cynical and wary of any romantic gestures that genuinely come from the heart but still want you to make them. In a way, Americans and Europeans share this kind of endearing naive optimism that makes them easier to date because you can genuinely woo them. I hate American accents though, I don't know if I could ever be with one for more than a night. European women are a bit easier to date if you're a white foreigner because you break the matrix of their country's dating conventions. If you were from their own country they might not even consider dating you because you're from the wrong social class, don't have the right job, not from the same region or town etc. This makes dating Europeans much much easier because they won't just automatically rule you out as incompatible. The same is true of Europeans who move to the US and can date outside of their league just because they're foreigners. Also for the same reason, European women are interested in the idea of a green card as a backdoor option but they won't chase an American just to get a visa (also a tip: every single European woman dreams of visiting Manhattan, promise a French or Spanish chick you will take them there on holiday and it would be like promising an American girl to fly her into Paris). Out of all of them I would say that Irish women are top tier. They're pretty feminist as a whole but once they enter a long term relationship they transform into tradwives overnight without even thinking about it. They will cook for you, clean for you, do your laundry and want to start making babies ASAP. Southern Europeans and French are a lot more difficult to handle but worth it if you can keep up with their inane drama.
>>2882396this is cap. american and canadian women are the same. a little bit better than ozzie but not much. new zealand is better though
>>2882400You have the option for p4p and decent Seeking in places like Perth in Aussieland, also I know manlet mutts that have been to Australia and they said it was better than than in the US. I still firmly believe US is the worst out of any country for social life and dating.
>>2882482if you count the foreigners oz and canada are top tier. US is mid post trump because trump gassed all of the exchange students and h1b waifusMuslim countries are way worse than the US for dating. The suburbs and shit suck but US is alright in the cities

What's there to do in this city? When is the best time to visit (I am planning to go in July perhaps).My impression is that it's a storied cosmopolitan city, the most friendly/accessible to Westerners in all of Central Asia, a city-state in Sid Meier's Civ 5 I am most interested in what the local expats/whites are up to. My small group of ~3 (late 20s) is definitely going to want to explore the rope bridge (Arman-Kopir) , but in contrast to previous trips we want to do less 50 year old woman "gawking at museums" activities and more intentional or possibly expensive activities - social scene, meeting fellow travellers, maybe horseback trip, kayaking. Probably aiming for a week or more in and around Almaty myself, my idiot friends want to get robbed by gypsies on dirt roads in Uzbekistan so they'll be there for shorter.
>>2882290>less 50 year old woman "gawking at museums" activities What a faggy thing to say. Women don't go to museums, except cool nerdy or alt chicks, and they're usually younger. Majority of women, and especially older women, travel to just sip champagne, go on boat tours, hang out at the beach, and do shopping. The only tourist sites they even intentionally go to are ones that look cool on instagram, they never give a fuck about the actual history or learning anything new, unless of course it's packaged into some kind of tour with a cooking/pottery class
>>2882298Only retarded instagram larpers waste their travel on museums
I had to kill two weeks in Almaty once but you sound like such an obnoxious faggot I'd just like you to know you don't deserve help

ITT: We crown the king of SEA. Tell your craziest story while in Southeast Asia, could be about anything.
>>2876692>using cuckbnb while travelingI would never. >>2876738Obviously a mutt with african admixture. Disgusting creaturas. So fat he has to keep the A/C at 20 C in a tropical country. Why not fuck off back to shitcago or whatever shithole he came from? Bet it's nice and chilly there in the wintertime. >>2878045Completely false. I have minimal body fat, I am quiet even when I get nasty, and I insist on fairness in my business dealings at all times. And no, I don't want to talk about fucking donald trump for the umpteenth time.
>>2878621>>using cuckbnb while traveling>I would never.Airbnb in SEA is just a good CYA thing to do given how many Changs or Rajshi's try to play the system and you. Maybe I'm not using the "right" way to book but I'll pay the extra what 50 bucks? fee compared to guessing if shit is good, with the ability to get everything back or secured through airbnb chat. I don't want to deal with:>achtually sir utilities NOT include... oh yes it in contract yes... hmm well I call police then!>pic I have for the place doesn't match>guessing in it's loud or not due to traffic, morning prayers(malaysia), weekend market, etc etc can usually get reviews of it>random BS fee's at the end that you're getting skimmed or scammed for>ohh sirs sorry you must get eletricity for unit yes and pay yes please contact over (viber, grab,snap,etc)I just take a pic of the place from airbnb before I touch anything and when I am ready to leave. Never had issues, post check out but airbnb has the benefits as a consumer that is worth it. 50 or so dollars isn't a make or break for me either, if you're that razor thin on budget don't travel. When I land I just want to drag my ass to whatever place I already know, make sure it's close to the listing, and then plop my ass down+grab a shower and meal. Maybe that's boomer mode but at 31 I just don't care to wing it and haggle with whatever person after landing.
I have $4000 to spend that I wasn't expecting. I am thinking of going to Philippines for a month.
