Why do people here get so assblasted about asking about traveling to date? I don't mean cooming (paid) but exploring other countries with the intention of meeting women? Any well traveled sex haver knows that non American women are almost always superior to their American counterparts. Traveling to date is valid. Discuss.>in b4 bro if you're not getting laid in the US you wont get laid anywhere elseI'm a straight white male btw.
>>2852736How do you meet them anon? Thinking of plunging into LATAM/Argentina and trying to brush up on my spanish. You on the apps or?
>>2854179>The US really is clown world levels of hoeflationCan confirm. I'm euro and have never had problems getting laid in my home country, other european countries or while traveling to other parts of the world, but the vast majority of american women I've met on my trips have had princess syndrome. Women who are objectively 4s, 5s and 6s acting like they're 9s or 10s is the rule rather than the exception.Average looking ameribros must have it fucking rough over there
Kek I just so happen to be the same anon for both of these posts.>>2854354Honestly my GF I just got lucky on Tinder, this was before I really spoke any Spanish. Language exchanges are decent as some other anons have said before. But honestly this is the wrong mindset for South America, because you can just talk to a pretty girl wherever, and even if she isn't interested will probably be nice to you. It's legal to talk to women in public here. I would only advise against trying to jestermaxx women walking in the streets like a clown because they will think you are trying to rob them.>>2854357It's true. They tend to have this air of disgust around them, as if you disgust them for not being famous or something. It's really grim.

Red-pill me on cruises.
Just came back from a Christmas cruise that was booked by my in-laws. This was more stressful than enjoyable.First of all, we have a 7 month old. My mother-in-law booked this trip over two years ago. You’d think once she found out we were having a baby, she’d push this trip back once the kid is older. Nope. >”it’s fine. The cruise allows children 6 months and older! And don’t worry, you’ll have us to help you.”Also, whenever she books cruises, she gets us the cheapest cabins. Basically tiny inner cabins with no windows and you can barely move. Her logic is “oh, if you want to go out on a balcony, then just go up to the deck”.That’s fine if it was just two people in a room but you’d think she’d get us a bigger room once a baby was involved. Nope. Not only was this room tiny, but once we put a pack n play in, it took up half the walking space. Nevermind the fact that we’re cruising with a baby. At home, our baby has his own room. On the cruise, we’re all in the same space, so there’s no place to go when your baby is napping or screaming. We’re essentially trapped in a windowless room with a screaming baby.My mother-in-law is also type A and is obsessed with punctuality. Babies are unpredictable. You can’t plan when they decide to shit. God forbid you’re not there on time she starts texting asking if we’re ready yet. This was a Caribbean cruise btw, so I was hoping we’d take thing slow and do things at our pace since there’s not many touristy sights to see. We just ended up going to the beach on most of the destinations. But no, my mother-in-law insisted on us meeting and getting off the boat early to beat crowds just to get to a beach.Getting around the island requires taxis or buses btw. And taking a taxi with a baby requires a carseat in addition to a stroller to get around with a baby. Luckily we had a stroller that converts into a carseat and vice-versa, but it was still a pain to get around.Con’t next post
>>2851712The itinerary on the cruise was BVI, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Grenada and Barbados.BVI was in Tortola where we just spent the day to get to the Baths. In-laws watched our baby that day to go. Guadeloupe—we just ended up going to a beach. In Dominca, the in-laws watched our baby again so we could do an excursion. We took a simple bus tour and got to go to the Emerald Pool and then see the other waterfalls which was nice.Grenada is known for spices and chocolate. Was really hoping we’d do a chocolate factory tour, but since this was Christmas Day, everything except the beaches were closed. So we just spent the day at the beach.Same with Barbados. Really wanted to go to the Mount Gay rum distillery, but it was Boxing Day, so again, everything except the beaches were closed. We did do a glass bottom boat tour and snorkel to see a shipwreck and some turtles. Harrison’s Cave was also open, but my mother-in-law didn’t want to drop $60 pp to go. We were there with my other two sister-in-laws and their families, so we were a big group. Because we have a baby, we couldn’t really do much on the ship itself. While my in-laws did help, they ended up not helping as much as they said they would. One of my sister-in-laws chose to have a baby on her own with a donor and her baby is only 3 months older than ours. My mother-in-law tends to help her out more, I guess since she’s a single mom.My other sister-in-law and her husband have a 6 year old and 4 year old, so they had their hands full.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2851715>>2851712TL;DR: If you cruise, don’t get a small cabin, don’t go with young children, and don’t go around Christmas time when the predominantly-Catholic Caribbean islands have closed everything you’d be interested in seeing or doing besides the beach.
>>2842860cruises can be very expensive especially the internet connectivity. I looked up on-board fees and I think it's cheaper to use wifi onboard Qatar Airways mid-air.
>>2854908This, it was $100 for on sister's 4 day carnival cruise for internet, it was getting over 100 mbps which is sweet, but you may as well add $100 for internet plus $60 for gratuities plus the cruise ticket and fees, overall it ended up being $235 a day for an all said and done carnival cruise, which I still think is damn impressive when you consider you get to be on a ship with fast wifi and a balcony room, complimentary food, ports of call with tender boat for free, a regular resort on land can't even compete when you consider you're buying food locally when you want it.
What happens up here? Any cool shit you can find on Google Maps? Or interesting tales? It looks a bit like a frozen Carribean.
>>2853537Picrel is a meteorological station on Vize Island, in the Kara Sea, in the middle of nowhere.On google maps it interestingly isn't covered in snow:https://maps.app.goo.gl/VyzTfiskEAAfbiac8Apparently it's being eroded away by the sea at a rapid rate, and 75m of coast was lost in the space of 10 years or so.
>>2853537it's an uninhabitted frostbitten shithole mostly populated by nuclear submarines, muskoxen and marine wildlife.
Wtf happens here?! >huge country>absolutely beautiful>same part of world as Thailand and Vietnam kino>ancient history >probably cheap as fuckIs it an Islamic hellhole, or an untapped resource? There must be some amazing experiences lurking in the 10million islands*apart from Bali
>>2852383The vast majority of prostitutes in Indonesia are native Indonesian Muslims.The temporary marriage prostitution in Bogor Puncak for tourists and this wife swapping shit >>2834764 and Indonesians selling daughters into debt style sex slavery>>2834757 is all native Indonesian Muslim dominated.Chinese KTVs are only in Chinese areas mostly servicing other Chinese.Uzbek Muslims also work as prostitutes in both Indonesia and Thailand, serving Thai Buddhist men.It's Islamists falsely pushing propaganda than non-Muslim women make up most prostitutes.
>>2853655>Saya suka>Raja Ampat, Sorong>Nusa Tenggara>Lembeh, Ambon and Banda lmao what a hilarious language. I want to visit Indonesia.
>>2851989>In the rest of the world, prostitution is actually quite normalNo it isn't or at the minimum not encouraged.
>>2852574>ships aren't just dropping the waste on the beach, your countrymen are facilitating and accepting these shipmentsCracking down on those businesses could be lobbied and targetted by western lobbyists who try to frame that as being unfair on them, the WTO is EXTREMELY stacked against most of the world. One state tried to curtail it's obesity epidemic by cutting turkey tail imports and they lost in the WTO trial. >illegally redirecting them from legitimate uses even>any person with common sense "just knows" not to take plastic and dump it in the ocean anon these companies sending trash abroad don't sort their goods and lie on their documentation. They will give you a shipment that they say is one rating that you can do, but is actually the hard to recycle or unrecyclable shit and you are stuck with bad plastic. You can't even send it to your own local facilities because they can't do it too.
I'm currently looking at the E33G (aka digital nomad) visa. I think I'm fitting money wise. Is it worth it? Or is it better to just arrive for 30 days and gett acclimatized before making a decision? I'm aware I can't apply for it while actually *in* Indonesia but a re-entry shouldn't be a problem.>Is it an Islamic hellhole, or an untapped resource? There must be some amazing experiences lurking in the 10million islandsWell, it's a majority Islamic country but it's weird because it's Asian, it's a jungle, and they have a secular foundation ideology or something, so it left me with impression that it's less Islamic than Malaysia, despite being more Muslim population-wise. I don't see it that much of an issue - I have been to Qatar and definitely enjoyed it despite it being a sharia country. Indonesia is a far cry from the orderliness and cleanliness of Qatar, but they don't have sharia there either, except maybe in Aceh.
My fiancee works in healthcare and got a 2 year contract offer in New Mexico. It’s decent money for her but I’d have to find a job. COL is low…is NM really as bad as everyone says? Her offer is about 20 miles outside of Albuquerque. We’d probably live in the Albuquerque area. Are we making a mistake?
>>2854132If you spend any time in a truly green deciduous forest, with dozens of different tree species casting deep shade across the forest floor, the sun-baked "evergreen" monocultures of the rocky western hills would seem extremely desolate and bleak by comparison. >>2854208At least Appalachia has verdant greenery that comes alive in spring with all kinds of melodic singing birds. In New Mexico you'll see crows and jackrabbits. Centuries of Spanish cattle overgrazing the land have ruined it beyond repair. What used to be lush meadows bursting with wildflowers every monsoon season are now plains of bare dirt dotted by ugly clumps of sagebrush. What used to be stately pine/oak forests are now scrubby juniper thickets. >>2854052The state has been steadily slipping downwards in rankings, now falling below West Virginia and Mississippi in many respects. In some ways it does feel like a god-forsaken land, especially after the horrible wildfires destroyed vast portions of the northern mountains (formerly the most beautiful and forested part of the state).
It's everything that sucks about Arizona with none of its good.
>>2853935New Mexico sucks. Suggest looking elsewhere if your girl is a nurse. Nurses are in demand everywhere. You can find somewhere much better than NM.
>>2853935Yes. And if you settle down, your kids are going to face an uphill battle against downward mobility.
>>2854855IDK if that's really true if you're anglo (as they call white people there) and not part of "NM culture." There are after all a ton of PhDs at the labs there. But I've also met people who describe moving out of NM as their main life accomplishment.
Are any of you going to Spain/Iceland for the total eclipse this year? Do you have some tips if you've done eclipse tourism before?
>>2853323Kind of. I found a guesthouse in Reykjavik within that August 9th-15th timeframe for like 3k-ish USD, so I reserved it for now and I can cancel it until July 14th or so. I haven't bought a plane ticket yet. Hell, I'm still considering if I should forget the entire thing or not as I've seen the total solar eclipse before> Do you have some tips if you've done eclipse tourism before?I have not, but it occurred right in front of my house back in 2017 and from what I can remember, the traffic afterwards sucked. I heard stories about people being stuck on the highway for like half a day. Furthermore, those solar eclipse glasses are cheap, but they get REALLY expensive the closer it gets to the date of totality. Hell, I remember I bought some for cheap and then scalp them for like five times the price to my coworkers (so you better get one now, while they're cheap)
>>2853323I was going to do Iceland but I apparently missed the boat on getting a hotel. I was watching for price increases but I stopped keeping track for a few weeks and it went from $150 a night to $1000, so I'll be doing Spain instead. This is my first time trying to go for an eclipse. I'm planning on a normal Spain trip and if I happen to see the eclipse that's great and if not then I still get to see Spain.
>>2853323I was actually planning to travel for the 2026 eclipse, but then I realized, I literally have my whole life to see an eclipse, so I might as well focus my 2026 on other bucket list places while I'm still young. I might go for the 2027 eclipse though, also in Spain, as it looks like it'll be in much more convenient cities.
>>2854816>I was watching for price increases but I stopped keeping track for a few weeks and it went from $150 a night to $1000>Single bed in 26-bed dormitory room for two nights 225 eurobucksI hope for the best and fear for the worst...

Hello fellow travelers.As a non-American, I want to travel to the Midwest but I am indecisive on which city should I visit. My options are Cincinnati (which was the very first city I visited in America back in 2013), Columbus, Indianapolis and Chicago (just outside the downtown, I have read enough on how unsafe is Chicago) and perhaps Springfield, IL. I am looking for safe places to drink, museums and especially rural areas with well-meant people (aka whites). I don't like places like Miami, NY, LA or places filled with Hispanics or Blacks, so I want to be sure to go to places that are worth visiting
>>2853924I grew up in Wisconsin, lived in Indianapolis and Chicago.Chicago is safe as long as you avoid the west side and south side of Chicago. In downtown you are fine, just watch out for the schizophrenic homeless people which are in every American city (even Indianapolis/Columbus/Cincinnati etc.). The river walk is amazing, River North is a good neighborhood for drinks, lots of amazing art deco buildings downtown.Indianapolis is pretty small and average. I totally understand what you mean by Indianapolis is the ultimate average Midwest city and I agree.Cincinnati is pretty cool with the sky bridges and other art deco, since you've been there before idk if I'd recommend it. You've already seen it and maybe you get to re-live some memories and have a good time, maybe you get depressed seeing how things have changed (not saying the city has gone to shit but this is just kinda how life moves on).>safe places to drink, museums and especially rural areas with well-meant people (aka whites)Why not visit a college town? If you don't mind college aged kids this would meet your criteria pretty well. Bloomington, IN is just a 1 hour drive from Indianapolis and it's a beautiful campus you can walk around. Go to Kilroy's on Kirkwood for a drink, go to Buffa Louies for some amazing wings, if you can watch a basketball game that would be very fun (or watch the game at Kilroy's).
>>2854056OP here. I'd love to visit Bloomington, IN as I remember when I was a kid I wanted to study there (obviously the college fares were too expensive for my family, so I had to stay here studying in my country). >You've already seen it and maybe you get to re-live some memories and have a good time, maybe you get depressed seeing how things have changed I hope it hasn't gone full Detroit mode, but I have read that half the population is black, so I want to avoid those areas. I can't believe a flight from my home country to CVG is more expensive than going to Chicago. So perhaps I will go to Illinois and stay at a town outside the metro area. Thanks for the information, friend.
>>2853924Columbus is BORING AF. Chicago is basically Gotham but I still think worth a visit. If this is during the summer id visit towns along lake Michigan (in Michigan or Wisconsin). I used to live in Detroit....i wouldnt visit.
>>2854056what is worth seeing in cincinnati?
> I don't like places like Miami, NY, LA or places filled with Hispanics or Blacksyeah that's pretty much all US cities dude
>Good train public transport>Plenty of social events (run clubs?), not just nightlife>High paying jobs available>Variety in cuisinesWhat American metropolitan area would you recommend?
>>2848081NYC metro.
>>2854562Oh, look, another inbred Texas keyboard warrior clutching his AR-15 like it's his micro-dick while spewing homophobic shit from his mom's basement. News flash, retard: Texas was a shithole long before any Californians showed up, y'all been electing corrupt cowboys and turning your state into a grid-failing, abortion-banning dystopia all on your own. BLM and "Orange Man Bad"? That's just code for "I'm too dumb to handle basic human rights or not electing a con artist." Stay mad in your containment zone of ignorance, you backwards fuck and maybe one day you'll evolve past thinking "fag it up" is an insult instead of a sad projection of your repressed fantasies.
>>2854700kek, this is gold
>>2854562>>2854700Pedro is also just coping hard because Brandon Sailer from San Diego is a more reliable R voter than Sanjit Martinez of Dallas.The best thing TX has going on is being a red state with white people that aren't retarded (contra its neighbors) and a good deal of state-level YIMBYism that tard wrangles some of the worst blue city impulses (which is important because left to its own devices, Republican rule creates dying rural shitholes). Of course, if they enact a Texan version of Prop 13, you might as well go get a Californian salary and have nice weather.
>>2854704>Sanjit Martinez of DallasLOL
Are the best places to travel, locations out of your own country?
You can find interesting locations to visit within your own country, but 99% of the time it's a lot easier to just pick another country. The novelty of exoticism is hard to beat.
>>2854621more exotic, warmer and cheaper, so yes
>>2854621A lot of people visit Canada for our mountains and lakes, I feel as though Canada is big enough it's excellent at most, master of none. There's always a country that does it better than Canada, but if you have 3 weeks to a month, it's a good place to see it all. You can see the majority of it in between Alberta and BC for mountains and lakes, and SK for lakes and forests.Or just go to BC and experience a very good version of it all.
>>2854621It does have the benefit of no immigration hassles. A lot less jetlag if any. If you decided you really liked the place moving there is a tenable idea. Staying domestic is very underrated on /trv/.
What are your predictions about the state of travel in the coming years? Do you see a decline or rise of normies continuing trends of mass tourism? From personal observations it seems like alot of zoomies who have disposable income are jetsetting, while there is a noticable decline in boomer places like Vegas. People were doomposting about indians and chinese taking over the gaps but there are definitely less of them in numbers in places I frequent, barring uberjeets and low service workers. I feel like even last year I noticed way more of my normie social feeds flooded with travel posts (le going to japan omg quirky midlife crisis, reels about china, girls going to thailand for yoga etc), now I rarely see or hear from any of my circles about trips they have been on or are planning. It seemed that there was a peak after Coof blue balls but now it has reached below the baseline, based off the overall vibes I see and observe. Iirc thailand numbers were also down this year. Hell I even see less doomposts here about sexpest spots being overrun with weekend warrior asians and young chads.
>>2848570You and every single other zoomer is doing that, apparently. It's the ultimate NPC destination.
>>2852408>ultimate NPC destinationWhich makes it ultra-comfy if you just want to go around doing your own thing, no interaction with other people apart from goods & services transactions. Other people might as well be a bunch of automatons; they do their thing and you do yours.>>2852335>culturally toxicYeah, like a bunch of alcoholic whoremongering boomers were somehow wholesome and beneficial visitors compared to Chinese tourcattle.>>2852364My first month overseas for this travel season is looking to wrap up at $1180 USD. This includes the cost of tourist visa and 13500 km of flying to the other side of the world, and represents the fruits of 59 hours of labor. That's barely over seven workdays of menial seasonal labor. But yeah, go ahead and tell me how travel has gotten more expensive than it used to be in terms of a laborer's wages. What a crock of shit. So many tards here like to spout off as if they were worldly wise Real Travelers, but I've been active here long enough to see the truth. You are regurgitating some propaganda you've read on this board or heard from some yappity YouTube faggot. It's not your lived experience, and you have no way to verify its truthfulness. But you repost it anyway.
>>2852335This is what happens when you never leave the basement and get all your information about the outside world from /pol/.
>>2852336>Western tourists not even being able to get visas for other Western counties.Wut?
>>2847145>make 98% more money than anyone else in my country>anywhere I go I can completely avoid shell shocked jet lagged fuck tard tourists>still choose to enjoy the tourist experience in most countries I visitYou're a tourist, you're not some super /trv/eler. You're literally part of the problem so quit being a faggot and get with it. Be the least offensive American piece of shit you can be and keep pretending to be Canadian and enjoy.

>>2854158no she had an onlyfans... her onlyfans was posted many times online and trolls talked about her in his comments and on other sites. I think she dropped the OF after she was getting alot of shit cause adam had her in his videos so people were hatin on her as well. she used the name daphne del ray or some shit I dont remember i never went to OF to bother to care

A GERMAN BITCH WHO STAYED AT MY PLACE JUSG 2 DAYS AGO LEFT ME A 4 STAR REVIEW REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Moved here a couple months ago, and it'd been hard meeting any expats that are like me. They all seem really performative and uptight. I feel like a normal dude out of place and moved here so I could live a nice life on the cheap in a beautiful country around nice safe people. Figured I'd come to 4chan, my old stomping grounds seeing if anybody similar wanted to meet up.https://discord.gg/3HAh6Em2w
No offense but I don’t come to Bangkok to hang out with a bunch of stinky farangs.
>>2853766>coomers hate Vietnamwtf are you talking about? it's everywhere in nam, just not as open, theres that whole road of blowjob parlours and japantown but otherwise you have to actually look for it
I'll be in Bangkok in April before Songkran. Will you be around?
Never been to Bangkok so I can't offer any actionable advice, but I was thinking about it for ages and my Youtube feed is full of people vlogging about their lives in Bangkok, hyping it up as this affordable place where you can reinvent yourself and make lifelong friends with likeminded peopleBut I've noticed that all these vloggers are the same, not bad people or anything but just really normie and consumerism oriented (focus on condo tours and new mall openings). From afar it looks like the lines between the commercial and the cultural are often blurred in Bangkok too (creative spaces in malls, a lot of art is just kitschy slop). I got put off it because it felt very normie and I figured I'd get lonely out there, I could be wrong though
>>2854585>muh normiesi've got news for you anon, if you're really that bothered about what other people think or do, to the extent that it stops you living your own life and experiencing things yourself and forming your own opinions.... the biggest "normie" is you
