Can you talk about Nepal? Did you see any spiders in Kathmandu?

Nepal seems awesome, though during monsoon it can be miserable pouring rain all day. Wet feet getting horribly itchy from the filthy puddles you step in. Overall I like South Asians a lot more than I expected to. India's appeal vastly outweighs its shortcomings in my view...but having a spacious, comfy, quiet room to relax in to makes a huge difference in my outlook. I'd be curious how many hours per day in public OP averaged on his trip to get overwhelmed by India. And also, did he wander around seeking out places that suited him? My experience 25 days in is that India is FULL of places that make me happy to be there. But you aren't gonna see any of them recommended on fucking r*ddit.

isn't it better that way?

I thought Kathmandu was overall a super interesting city and worth a visit. Sites are all really cool and unique and with the Himalayas surrounding it you do feel like you're in some kingdom at the end of the world at times.

But it's also not much different from India in terms of dirt, chaos, scammers, noise, overcrowded streets, etc. and I'm surprised there's nowhere online that mentions it. I'm guessing a lot of people that go to Nepal skip Kathmandu and head straight for the mountains. There's an area of a few blocks in a neighborhood called Thamel though which is all just hotels and restaurants for tourists that's comparatively quiet and peaceful (except for the stray dogs).

No spiders

just go to kerala

It was a little scary the first night. We were dropped into a house 10km away from the centre of the oasis, and pretty much were in the middle of nowhere.
Given we were about 20km away from the Libyan border, it was quite a surreal feeling, and I couldn't help thinking about the odds of a rigged out Toyota Hilux coming rolling over the dunes in the background, and fucking everything up.

We were both a bit nervous, so decided to get out some vodka and chill on our terrace. Every noise made me wonder wtf was happening, whether it was a random motorbike from an unknown direction, the rustling of date trees, voices....
But as the drinks kept flowing, these noises started to disappear, giving way to the beauty of a near full moon illuminating the unknown of the desert in front of us, and wondering whether there's another soul anywhere within the next 1500km in front of us.

Nice thread OP, been to Egypt once or twice when I was a teenager with my mom's diving club which apparently, before the Arab spring was a prime diving destination. We went to Sharm El Sheik and I'd wander around the resort asking random workers if they could sell me some hashish with no luck unfortunately. There's something magical about hotel resorts in the middle of the dessert. I also remember buying Cleopatra brand cigarettes for €1.

>>2851105
Thanks. The Red Sea still is primo for diving. Noticeably more Arabs in places like Dahab now though. I always remember getting buses across the coast and thinking the scale of resorts was pretty incredible; just endless places dotted along an entire coastline.

I think i will go to Malta and Sicily. Few days "city-break"

>>2850382
as far as temperatures go, greece is two countries. the mainland and the north, and the south peloponesse and the aegean islands. My brother is in Syros and it had 15-18 degrees during the midday. I comparison Thessaloniki peaked at 10.
If you want something in europe that will be sunny and not really cold then Malta is a good option too

>>2850382
What about Canary islands? They're islands and they're basically at the bottom of Morocco, so pretty low latitude. Also probably a big latinamerican community so you can dance your salsa and they speak spanish so you get your language exchange. 18 degrees right now with a low of 13 and 22 in february. That sounds perfectly human.

If you're willing to travel a little further maybe the US, Florida is a good option? Basically same position in the globe, same weather. It is a 10h flight from Frankfurt to Orlando. The US is expensive and there are many poors and fent fiends and shootings, so idk if you want that.

Have you considered Tunisia?
>cheap
>close to Europe
>no need for a visa usually
>very easy to interact with people if you speak French
>has museums, history and architecture, temples and beautiful nature (not sure about salsa and techno desu)
>warm
I'd say either that or any Mediterranean major island would be your best option (Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, Baleares, maybe Sardinia or Corsica if you want something a little more adventurous)

>>2850382
What did you decide on?

Aight bros I need your help with luggage logistics. I know there's some new "luggage shipping service", I also know there's lockers at train stations from the last time I was there. This is for my upcoming trip which is happening in a few weeks. this time next month, I'll be in sapporo for the end of the snow festival.

Couple days in tokyo, then 4d/3n in sapporo, then 4d/3n in osaka, back to tokyo for like a week. Flyin in with a large check-in bag, and a backpack(because you can't check-in a laptop). I figured I'm making THREE domestic flights, wouldn't it be cool if I didn't have to wait at baggage claim for them? What if; I do some shit with the package shipping and/or parcel lockers to bypass that entirely?

What would work best here though?

My main ideas revolves around...

A. duffel bag easily compactable in check-in. Putting check-in bag into some "long term" locker (how does this work? common? expensive? actually staying at the same hotel for both of my tokyo segments, would it be a common or reasonable request if I asked them to "hold a bag" for over a week until I'm back?) Afaik you can't leave shit at the station lockers for that long. Then I just travel with a duffel bag + backpack, as personal item and carry-on. It'll be winter, I won't need to change much, easy to fit in a few changes of socks, boxers and have empty space in case I decide to buy things.

B. forgoing the duffel bag, and just straight up sending my big ass check-in bag from tokyo to sapporo, then sapporo to osaka, then osaka back to tokyo. I can absolutely "make do" with what I can fit in a backpack for a day or two, so maybe here I "send the big bag" the morning before I'm flying out, go out, do whatever, the next morning just go to the airport with my backpack and pick up my big bag when I get to the hotel?

Also what are this "bag shipping" service's pickup locations like? Do they send it everywhere? or am I gonna have to find a nearby pickup location?

>>2854182
Yamato can hold luggage for 7 days, so they might be able to hold it in Tokyo for delivery to your second place.
>Also what are this "bag shipping" service's pickup locations like?
they deliver to hotels, some conbinis, and their own branch offices. Good hotels are able to receive luggage a day or two in advance of your stay.

How much time do you spend in the hotel room on an average day on a 2-4 week trip? A detailed breakdown would be appreciated
I'm wondering how my hotel time compares to other's
A basic day for me is wakeup and sit around a bit, maybe read
Go get bullshit breakfast and then go back to hotel to bullshit, read, maybe a few pushups
Go get lunch, then maybe an aimless long walk or go to a cool store or place for coffee. Maybe stay out wandering until dinner, some days go hotel and read or play a hame
Go get dinner and some days just wanna be alone so go hotel it up and eat snacks , maybe a movie or read some history or bullshit. If I feel like being outward and expansive, ill go find some live music or vinyl bar. Usually go on a decent nightwalk before bed around 12-2

>>2854184
For me its either
>Wake up, exist, head out of hotel and get breakfast.
>Do the day's activity
>Get back to hotel in afternoon
>Stay there jacking off or whatever, and head out for nearby dinner later.
Or
>Breakfast, go out to do day's activity.
>Get back around midday.
>Go out for afternoon, remain out for dinner
>Get back later

>>2854173
>Shinkansen to Hiroshima
Shinkansen to hiroshima from tokyo in 1 day? For that distance and time, i would consider a domestic flight my man.

Unironically some of the comfiest days of world tour.

Wake up, rocket stove a pseudo-latte using milk-box, enjoy the seaside, riverside, forestside, have ramens and tuna sammies.

Full queen sized matress so I slept well, weighted blanket so even in the onset of winter in Alaska I was waking up toasty with frozen breath on the ceiling (as the sun came up it melted and literally rained inside the van).

Picrel is my camper van broke down on the roadside somewhere in bumfuck nowhere Pennsylvania with a seized-up fuel pump. No cell service out there either. A friendly neighbor spotted me and let me use his workshop's landline to call a tow truck. Worries about breakdowns plagued me for the entirety of my time on the road in America, but I only got properly stranded once.
>>2851511
Always feels awkward walking into the store at 6:30 AM unshowered and looking like a bum with messy hair, then heading straight for the bathroom. In the absence of public restrooms, you must mooch off the generosity of a gigacorporation in America. At least the shartmart wagies and customers are NPCs who couldn't care less about anyone else.
>>2852633
The complete lack of noise pollution is the best part about sleeping in a van in nature. Combine with cannabis and mild cool nights, and you'll get the best sleep of your life. But you can't help feeling like you're missing out on everything the world has to offer by secluding yourself in a natural setting. Days go by so slowly when you have a limited gas budget which requires you to spend multiple nights in the same site.

>picking up girls on the Manila street is easy (they don't even glance at the average 30 year old incel tourist in 2025, let alone show signs of interest).

This seemed to be true when I visited for 3 weeks. I got very little signs of interest from normal women in manila, totally opposite experience in bangkok.

>schizotard replying to himself
We've been over this tardy. You get no attention because there is something terribly fucking wrong with you that you are not aware of.

Nobody else with white skin above 5' 6" and under 250lbs has your issues.

lmao wut? As an American the one value or trait all Canadians seem to possess is to tell people how 'un-American' they are.

>>2852233
If any Canadian thought the annexation threats were serious you have a freezing temperature IQ. Sorry. Perhaps you should worry about not being a province of China instead.

>>2852710
Quoi?
>>2852712
Neither is likely but we have a renegade independence movement in the West that seems set on becoming a US state.

>>2849713
If you're still coming to Canada don't even think of setting foot into Brampton.
I just came back from shithole and holy fuck, how does a place like that even exist? its unironically India 2.0. It even SMELLS like India. When I got back home from that shithole i literally broke down in tears and was glad i even came back home alive, now i'm completely blackpilled (or more like BROWNpilled) about the situation, how does any non-Indian person live there without becoming suicidal? Damn

Avianca has been selling miles just to stay out of bankruptcy (again), speaks volumes about if those miles will last or if future-dated flights will still operate. buyer beware

It's a run of the mill legacy carrier.

>>2851551
It's their flagship carrier so it should be pretty nice.

>>2850076
good idea if you want to die in a plane crash

>>2850076
They used to be Colombian and then were acquired by Brazilian satanists. Now it sucks.

When they were Colombian you had 2 25kg bags, 1 10kg bag and a carry on item, and a meal included in your fare.

Now they behave like a low cost airline at full price. They will take you to your destination, but they are shit.

>>2851890
Literally more likely to happen in the US with any airline given the amount of plane accidents in the past couple of years.

None in Colombia or with Avianca.

You can go another year until you get so annoyed and bored of your work that youll want to do the next job and then actually inbetween you do your australia thingy.

The dry ass job will eventually get to you, especially in your age.

>>2851403
why another year. it's boring now

bro's talking like 100k is real money

>>2851350
don't, traveling and living in a country are two different things also Australia just like Canada and UK are speedrunning social collapse any%

>>2851350
I made 100k USD in Australia on my WHV but I did work hard for it.

you can rent e-bikes with capital bikeshare and I feel like you can theoretically dock them in national harbor and ride from there across the 495 to old town alexandria and then if you were really fit over into dc and you could theoretically loop back via anacostia/suitland but i've never done the full loop
but the part between national harbor and alexandria is interesting and the mt vernon trail runs near the water

the connection between national harbor and the bike trail is weird though like you have to access it at a really specific point to connect between the little town and the 495 bridge bike/pedestrian access so i recommend having the capital bikeshare app open to figure it out and it was closed at one point I think but that was like a year ago

I assume you are coming for a conference?
dc is kinda bland
there's the waterfront and navy yard basically the sections of the city on the potomac river (as well as georgetown on the potomac very popular with tourists as well with fancy shopping too), waterfront is newer and has like expensive trendy restaurants some overlooking the water as well as a walking/biking path on the river
I really enjoy the anacostia riverwalk biking trail the part between the roller rink (srsly) and bladensburg waterfront is very pretty if you see one thing I would do that I'm biased towards biking but its a good way to see the city and the rentable ebikes make it easy you will need a balaclava tho and heavy pants and a thick jacket its winter and you will need boots or shoe covers sneakers are unpleasant to bike in in winter

also you need to reserve in advance but you can go up the washington monument and the view is nice from the top
not sure if you will have a car or be driving or flying in, but if you ever get a chance harpers ferry about 1.5 hour drive outside the city is quite scenic there's a 5 minute walk from the train station to where the shenandoah river meets the potomac river and then a 2 hr hike 1200 ft up to a view of the town from a high point

for me the surroundings are prettier than the city
the city is bland government architecture
but I would say walking/driving/biking h st gives you a decent sense of the city and some of the more interesting buildings, I recommend 11th st if you are going north/south it also has a good bike lane and wide streets for walking

you used to be able to take the elevator up to the rooftop terrace in the kennedy TRUMP center without paying for a ticket not sure if they still allow that
and the old post office building that became the trump hotel i think its a waldorf hotel now anyways they also have a (I think free?) elevator to the top for tourists that I enjoyed a lot as a kid.

and not sure when you are coming but in february and into early march there's pink plum blossoms that blossom near the world war 1 memorial and in a few other places on the mall
and there's the indoor conservatory of the us botanic garden that is heated and warm in winter

>>2851593
Go to succotash. The food is bonkers Korean southern fusion. You might be there during the magfest convention in which case you could people watch for hours

I understand why native Hawaiians hate white people, but why don't they hate Asians? They are still uninvited occupants, are they not?

>>2852431
Because asians are willing to rut with brown people. Whites wear their contempt for every race on their face, we can’t be fucked to hide how much we hate browns.

>>2852431

Oct/Nov, you already reduced the options to 1 and 3 unless you have some really special interests/museums you want to see that do not depend on the season.
2 and 4 is mostly coastal towns in their deserted out of season state, you might get lucky in the first two weeks of October and enjoy a golden fall, after that it's truly over and everything is closed up. 5 is scandis in the sad season with some germany as a bonus.

Everyone knows that's Eastern Europe.

Eastern Europe = Nobody gives a shit about anyone or anything

Western Europe = They have some level of law and order that discourages this type of behavior

Central Europe = This is where most train autists live. If you fuck with their trains, they will eat your children.

>>2851853
Probably Albania

>>2851853
I don't think that that's a thing anymore in europe as fright trains got almost completely decentralized and "on demand" means if there's capacity freight trains will get green lighted if there's no capacity they get stopped at the next larger intersection for 10min to 10h. You have 3-4 main arteries with somewhat fixed schedules anything else is hard to predict where or when trains are going.

Florida, or if you're too good for that, there are plenty of Caribbean islands to choose from. Just take your pick they're all the same.

>>2847407
well, depends if you have the right vehicle for it
you will need winter/all terrain tires if you go to the snowy/higher elevation bits, but there's also southern appalachia, which should be less snowy (make sure to check the snow cover map)
there's all sorts of micro-regions in appalachia
jim thorpe is a cute (but crowded) tourist trap town in nepa which has a gorge you can hike in various ways

you will need "yak trax" or micro spikes for your shoes if you plan to see waterfalls or such

there's also the famed ohiopyle falls of pa, the smokies for PURE normie stuff, the new river gorge, as well as other gorges such as red river of kentucky, or big south fork of tennessee

and you can just find things you like and go about trying to do hikes you find appealing or just sit in your cabin and have a fire
airbnb has cheap listings, reputation and quality vary, there's always traditional cabin rentals, that costs more, then there's things like lodges such as blackwater falls - you get a great location but a dated motel vibe

also recommend breaks interstate park and the adjacent pine mountain
