Going to Cancun for a summer trip. What do you fellas recommend I do to get the most bang outta my buckroos while im in the land down south (of the american mexican border)
>>
Maybe check out a beach and a bar, and Thats about it.

>goes to Cancun

You're in the wrong place, anon. Try anywhere along the Veracruz coast if you want low prices.
>>
>>2818100
Sorry anon, Cancun is not what it used to be. It is overly expensive and everyone will try to scam you. Stay in the hotel and touristic GUIDED places only if you want to come back to your homeland safe.

chichen itza was fun when I was 6
the beach seemed nice
culturally, guanajuato (state) was more interesting - good street food, san miguel de allende is charming and slightly westernized

French women were some of the least attractive women I saw in any European country. It's especially depressing after you've been to Spain where the women are insanely hot.

/trv/, how do you protect yourself from the lesser privileged people while you travel?

Colombia is the only place where homeless people have been a problem for me. The male drug addicts can be huge pests hoping to wear you down and make you pay them to go away, but of course doing so only encourages them to continue their aggressive begging. You have to get firm with them sometimes, or if they seem reasonable, explain to them that your money is the only thing you have, and that if you gave money away to everyone who asked for it, you'd have to start asking for money to feed yourself. Surprisingly, that approach worked with quite a few hungry Venezuelan bums in Colombia.

WV is diversifying (finally) but it's a pretty small economy especially around snow based tourism and mining. A lot of natural resource restrictions got lifted by trump, so like him or not he's breathing some life into the state.

>>2821155
natural resource restrictions were never holding west virginia back (unless you think mines should just be able to dump waste in the rivers without restriction)

>>2821156
Talking about wood industry and ability to go out and look for new resources on old closed mines and so on.
>>
>>2821158
almost all the forests have been clear-cut logged and there's very few mature trees to be had - they are logging everything they can and that happened before Trump - you will notice all the logging trucks especially when you get into the heart of logging country (central WV like around Richwood and Webster Springs)
>on old closed mines
surely that won't release even more pollution
they need to figure out ways to make money that don't further damage the environment cuz the hills are all they have

Is Cartagena, Colombia safe to visit as a white US tourist? Any places to stay away from or advice before going? Wanted to hang out by the beaches and eat good food. Would also like to meet women but I'm not just a coomer

San Agustin, Huila was my favorite town in Colombia. The ride across the paramo (a high-altitude cloud forest full of very strange plants) from Popayan was expensive and bumpy, but very scenic. Compared to Asia, intercity transport is so fucking expensive in Colombia. That 130 km trip cost something like $21 USD. Maybe I was getting the gringo price, IDK.

I heard so many horrible things about Cartagena I didn't even bother to visit. I liked Bogotá, Medellín, Santa Marta. If you want to party, go to the first two cities or Palomino, Magdalena.
From what people (both locals, other travelers and Colombians I know outside of Colombia) told me it's just a tourist trap.

When I visited the south, you could get a decent lunch made to order for 9000 COP on average. That was about $3 USD at the time. The better lunches cost 13000, about $5. I stayed mainly in hostels, a few cheap hotel rooms as well. This was back during COVID, so most hostel dorms had very few guests. My lodging average was about $8/night, but I really skimped on food for the first few weeks there. Those cheap yellow empanadas that were sold for 500 pesos apiece fucked up my gut and ruined my energy levels.

Foreigners love the Guajira Peninsula for some reason. It's more expensive than the rest of Colombia, hot as hell, and has a blighted arid landscape. But muh beaches, muy Tayrona. The green cool highlands were much more pleasing to me.

You can try running an AirBNB in a vacation area, while keeping a room for yourself.
That way you should get enough income to keep yourself going, and you wont get totally bored with decades of staring at a TV.

Are you giving up a career to do this, or can you easily get a new job in a few years?

If I was in your situation, with no relationship attachments at age 40, I would just travel the world for 2-3 years, using 90-180 day visas.

Then return to waging with some easy to get Euro job. And keep doing that, where you work 2 years, travel 1 year.

Variety is the spice of life, so you'll die of boredom rotting alone in an apartment, unless you have hobbies or work or something.

Did you ever travel to a particular attraction or place that made you think it wasn't worth going? I'm currently debating whether to see one of Tokyo's most famous shrines (Senso-ji) and part of me feels like I must see it since I'm there, but part of me also feels like I'll wish I had gone somewhere else. I'm curious to hear your thoughts and whether you've felt this yourself (after having visited the place that is). I'm not going until fall next year so I'm planning ahead.

That's how I felt when I went to the Colosseum. Even durring the off-season the line takes all day to get in with "refugees" constantly pestering you to buy their overpriced chinesium or trying to pickpocket you. Once you get inside, It's too crowded to be able to actually enjoy the space and every sightline is blocked by crowds of people. Ironically, the Roman Forum that is included as an extra with the ticket was way more enjoyable than the main attraction, since there was plenty of space to get immersed in it and get away from the crowds.
>>
>>2817295
I felt the same. I recall the scene in Gladiator, where Juba looks up at the Colosseum and says, "I didn't know men could build such things" and how amazed they were at the sheer scale of it. I realize they made it look bigger for the movie, but I at least expected to have a similar reaction when I saw it in real life. But no, I simply thought, "There it is. It's OK."

Chichen Itza was a bit of a let down. It was so sunny and hot and none of the trees could provide shade. The glaring sun made it hard to see the ancient Mayan etches on the ruins and didn't really show well on a camera. After the pandemic, people couldn't walk to the top of the pyramid. The stairs look a bit sketchy anyway but it was sad that I didn't get to experience that. There were hagglers everywhere selling the same trinkets on every corner. There was a whistle or something that sounded like a jaguar roar and they kept blowing it everywhere. The hagglers were nice though but it kinda cheapened the experience. It was also a 2 hour bus ride each way from Cancun taking you through an endless jungle, and it was quite expensive, though I did book it through the resort so maybe that's why. The iguanas were cute though.

Anyone else like this? At this point travelling is the only semblance of a normal life I have.
I stopped meeting new people because it was fucking useless and just schedule various trips for every month.
I will die alone but hopefully I will die on a beach in Thailand.

If your a normie in the country you're born, who has tons of relationships and friends, then you are almost certainly going to fuck up that karma by crossing the ocean.

nice story
reminds me of my childhood, with my dad working his ass off for a nice house, and my mom slaving him away while being lazy herself
Finally builds the dream home, as like a monument to his life achievement, then divorces the wife who was cracking the whips too hard.

And my lesson:
A big house, is not a home, when there is no love.
So chasing huge amounts of money by grinding in career and simping for a woman who enslaves you, has very little appeal to me. I don't see it as a path to happiness
>>
>>2820815
Yeah, pick an empty bar with a bunch of bored women waiting around. Then you will automatically be the center of attention. I tried this in Khon Kaen. The women liked me because I was younger than they are; in fact, they were getting kinda feisty with each other over who gets dibs on me. The first visit they didn't even ask for a lady drink. HOWEVER, their attention and petting did not make me feel either happy or horny. The feeling of detachment was too strong.

In hindsight, this bad experience was a good thing. Way too many white guys in Southeast Asia become psychologically dependent on drinking at hostess/girly bars to feel good about their overseas life. This practice drains their wallet, ruins their health and only entrenches the mental problems which leave them chronically unhappy without their copes.
>>
>>2820818
At least your dad was smart enough to take the initiative with the divorce instead of getting caught off guard like most men. My dad got thrown out of his ultra-McMansion dream home by my mom a couple years after I left. She was just as tall as he was and outweighed him by 50 pounds, but claimed that she felt threatened by him after she physically attacked him in a psychotic episode and he fended her off.

No clue if that's true. I've never been to Paris. I did do Spain this year. We drove all around Andalusia. Seville is one of the best cities on earth. Every corner has a palace, a castle or a giant cathedral. There are live bands out at night in the plazas playing Castellento music. The food was amazing. Super friendly city. Amazing nightlife. It would be a good city for someone who just likes to wander around without an itinerary. You'd get a little more culture than what you'd find in DollyWood.

Europe is still better for a lot of things. In Europe, if you pay for a burger, you get a burger and probably fries.

Most places in the US, if you pay for a burger, you get a burger with no fries. Half the burger's raw. They add a credit card fee. And a 'living wage' fee. And they'll ask for a tip. And the 0/custom tip option on the screen is is covered up with tape.

Mandatory washing machine. This is the number 1 reason i choose airbnb over hotels, is the free laundry
Fast wifi - check the place reviews, if people mention wifi issues don't book
Air conditioning if in hotter climates
Free parking, if you brought a car
>>
best airbnbs:
flexible check in and check out
no weird rules about using the property or tasks to be performed upon check out
washer and dryer with scentless detergent (and not a slow one either - fuck those shitty LG washers that take an hour to do a load)
walk in shower with a pivoting showerhead
central AC
real sized fridge and freezer - with the freezer on top please
actual quality sponges in the sink - its weird that they always have detergent (normal kind) but the sponges are crap
high quality toilet paper and paper towels
(charmin ultra strong + bounty select a sheet)
king bed with latex mattress
real leather sectional with FIRM padding not one of those shitty sofas you fall through (almost all of them)
room to walk around without hitting sharp edges
nightlights esp in bathroom
no fucking steps at fucking all

Check out the Donaukanal at night when the canal-side bars open up. And if you're gonna be in that area you might as well take a short ferry cruise down the river and check out Bratislava, if you're feeling really adventurous you can continue cruising down the river for a bit longer and go to Budapest. The total sailing time to hit all 3 cities is about 8 hours but Bratislava is only about an hour or 2 away from Vienna so it's better for a one day side trip than Budapest

If you're in academia, it's trivial because academics move all the time. You apply for job listings, or contact group leaders online with your research proposal and credentials. If you get through all the interview rounds, they'll give you a job and sponsor your visa if you need one. They will cover travel costs for in-person interviews. You can also move short term as a visiting scientist to learn new skills. Unlike a lot of other fields, you will never age out of this mobility.

You’re right. I can’t argue

I finally understand why Euros hate gypsies so much. They were everywhere trying to scam me and I watched 2 on a motorbike pull up real quick to some lady, use a knife to cut the strap of her purse and then ride off with it. And when they weren't being low life thieves they were being loud and obnoxious blasting their garbage music. Awful people. They're like Mexicans in America but at least Mexicans aren't scam artists
