well certainly every holiday is different
The anon while in london could try to do as many museusm and historical sites as possible in london, but then go to edinburgh and while it has museusm and tourist spots is easier to jsut relax there.

everywhere is expensive but london is the most expensive place for a dingy tiny hotel room in a hustle and bustle area.
It can be enjoyed - but if all of it is new, how much london specific experience does someone really need vs the other palces to visit yea you do sight seeing for one day... see the major stuff, then are you doing more of the same? what has to be in london if the whole country is new to them

>>2857720
London's always there, and it's connected to everything. If you're going up to the highlands, the journey should be focused around that. Spreading yourself too thin is instagram tier.

London enhances Scotland/Edinburgh through being able to fly there and buying a non-wing window seat (seeing from above if weather's good), and taking a sleeper train. Everything else should be 99th priority.

>>2852931
To anyone reading this absolutely do not go to Glasgow

>>2851939
Not sure your level of travel experience. If it's substantial, disregard. If you have not traveled much, make sure you don't spread yourself too thin. In 9 days, pick three places at the most. Two would be better. If you want to go to Scotland, arrive or depart from there. Don't fly into London, go somewhere else, and then need to come back to London to fly home.

London is my favorite English speaking city and it's not even close. At the very least go to British Museum, National Gallery, and Imperial War Museum. If you play poker the game at the Hippodrome was soft last time I played there. Figure out how you will pay for bus/tube rides before you get there. Oyster card is probably the best option, or just swipe your credit card as you go. But look into it ahead of time.

I like Cambridge. Take a punt on the river and go to the botanical garden. Can't speak for Oxford.

>>2855935
On the offchance you're still considering this... Don't

It's a 7 1/2 hour drive in optimum conditions with some stressful stretches of road along the way. You don't even get decent scenery for 2/3rd of it. I would consider this a nightmare drive as a Brit who does a lot of driving, as someone not used to British roads, it will be a whole different level of stress.


>>2858165
Oyster card is a rip off, always try to use a contactless card instead.

No because I do this shit all the time. I used to feel like you, but then I realized working a wage job where someone tells me what I have to do like I'm a fucking toddler is at best slavery or at worst just death. I digress. Yeah I used to, then I just quit and started living it full time. I'm not rich so I can't do the crazy excursions and nice hotels, so it's a lot more like living normal life just in new places.

>>2856901
You deal with it by making your life at home more intetesting. Can it live up to travel? Mosty yes, actually.

I take up creative writing, go to meetups, meet people, learning spanish with groups in cafes. Etc. Can even get into more expensive local hobbies like hunting fishing sailing piloting for the thrill of adventure near home.

I live my life all the time, and now I barely want to travel anymore.

>>2857144
Being crammed into an airplane on a regular basis gets tiring real fast, and cancels out a lot of the hedonistic pleasures of travel to faraway places. I cope with the knowledge that after I land, it'll be months before I set foot in an airport again.

I write about my trip so I can relive it through my imagination

Forget Santiago, go to the south. Santiago is a big city just like Sao Paulo where you can find cool places and museums and shits like that, but at the end of the day it's mostly a dangerous place and kinda ugly too. The south is gorgeous.

Traveled to Chile 2 years ago although I didn't drive - I only took planes. But since you're heading downward, definitely don't miss Puerto Varas. Undeniably one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I've been to. Osorno Volcano has the same grandeur (if not better) as Mount Fuji but without the annoying crowd Japan gets nowadays. Spend 2 nights there for a cruise in Petrohue & the surrounding natural beauty.
>>2861013
>but at the end of the day it's mostly a dangerous place and kinda ugly too.
I want to deny this but it's true. Definitely avoid Plaza de Armas - it's shady and my phone almost got snatched there. Don't agree with the ugliness - it's one of those cities that look very beautiful if viewed from afar.

>>2844463
I'm not one to shit on Amtrak but the last time I took a long trip on there, there was a very ghetto black dude in the row behind me talking on the phone to various people for literally hours, in varying levels of direct vs coded language. Among the highlights were that his friend/neighbor had murdered someone a few days previously because that neighbor's girlfriend had started a fight with the victim, that he was stealing product from his warehouse job, and that the reason he was on Amtrak in the first place was because he was transporting an undetermined amount of crystal meth to make some extra money/as a favor for someone. Genuinely the most bizarrely self-incriminating set of conversations I've ever overheard.

valid way to bumblefuck your way into dressing well. same shit as those retards who just buy piles of reps and end up putting together decent fits with them.

koreans dress well but they're extremely samey and their domestic brands are objectively worse than japan's, although the quality is better.

>>2855860
English teachers aren't well-compensated, but at least they go home at the end of the day knowing their work just unambiguously helped people learn.
There are many, many jobs, both in Japan and around the world, which can't say that kind of thing, which vary from morally neutral to outright destructive but still get paid.
It's far better to get a low wage for an honest day's work than to sell your soul for six figures in dollars or eight figures in yen.

Nah what's retarded is hitting all the tourist spots like some instagram bitch.

If you stay less than a month it's better to stay in one area each time and to do different trips:
1 Tokyo trip
1 Kansai area trip
1 Kyushu trip

The sample trip (Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka) is good for first timers.

During that summer vacation timeframe, one-way flight prices are jacked through the roof for all desirable summer travel destinations. Roundtrips tend to be lower. I'm seeing a non-stop roundtrip from SFO to Tokyo for $820 during that timeframe.

It's the overly friendly guys you have to watch out for, not the people who dislike you. The clueless rookie traveler adrift all alone like a runaway kid makes a perfect mark. Japan really seems to attract the most effeminate of foreign men, it makes me really reluctant to go there.

Racism is le good. It keeps the place safe and the locals act accordingly if you're being a cunt, especially if you don't belong

If I was rich and had a lot of free time on my hands, I would fly to you and rent us a fully loaded suv. Sounds like a fun adventure. Big risk as to whether it not we'd get along, but if not, rich me would just pull into the closest enterprise and I would just get my own vehicle and give you like 500 bucks and say "sorry man, you're on your own from here". Road trips like that sound awesome to me because you get to see a lot of middle America. I'd want to stop and see stuff along the way. Wbu? I'd even stay I random towns for a couple days and just vibe and try to meet cool people say breweries, small venue concerts, street markets and places like that, places you can mull around and potentially talk to people and potentially get invited to parties or to go do stuff only a local could get you access to. I love to experience hidden gems and the quaint mundaniety of small town livelihood, like normal people toiling away in the overlooked pockets of the county, trying to chase their idea of the dream. Would you want to drive straight to Florida anon?

>>2860591
honestly the biggest problem is that coastal eastern america is kinda bland and devoid of culture it sounds like you imagine a world that isnt there
id be in it mostly for hiking through swamps and whatever nature florida has to offer
im not much for breweries or parties, I do like talking to people

I usually do 2-3 stops in a day (beyond bathroom/gas). It depends how far the stops are from one another.

>>2860591
All that sounds great in summer, when people are out and feeling sociable. June is the best month...white girls are out of college and feeling frisky in their summer outfits, everything is green as can be, temps are warm but not sweltering, thunderstorms bring refreshing cool in their wake, and the summer family vacations haven't started yet (so there's not too many screaming brats or booked-up campgrounds/motels). In winter everything in America is cold and withdrawn. Hardly fun at all.

I got psyoped on social media to want to visit Russia. I feel like their people and culture coincide with mine, and I wouldn't mind marrying a beautiful Russian trad girl. If only my employment and knowledge specifically prohibits international incidents by doing that, I wouldn't hesitate to visit. I would like to see the Cold War era equipment and sites they still have. (Like the Duga Radar and similar).

>>2860414
>I wouldn't mind marrying a beautiful Russian trad girl.
Enjoy paying for every single whim she has. Unless you speak Russian fluently and can actually integrate yourself first inside Russian "trad" society, you will get a liberal woman who will make you pay for everything and won't hesitate to cuck you if there is a better man around the corner. They are beautiful though, but don't be deluded into thinking this is a one way street.

Kind of but you just adapt. You don't walk around after 6pm, you use indrive or bolt everywhere, don't travel between cities at night. Lots of things. Elevate your opsec a bit and you'll get used to it. Great nightlife, you'll feel like Justin Bieber even if you're bald and skinny fat, you'll match with everyone you swipe right on in tinder. 10s. Literal tens. You can literally walk up to any woman and tell them to give you their number and they'll do it. You have a visceral sense of freedom with money, you can do anything, even if you don't abuse it. Safari is cheap af. Hwange national park you can do glamping and safari for less than $100 if you book last minute. You don't have to bumble around countries with the same low opsec as in the US. Raise it to the local standard and enjoy that millions of Whites are scared to visit leaving you like a celebrity everywhere you go
