>begin digital nomad>hear thailand is great for exercise, healthy foods, cheap living, good bars, paradise for this kind of stuffreality:>Beers are overpriced in all pubs 3.5-4 USD for CHANG piss, want to drink from 711? LOL nope not till 11AM not even Muslim Malaysia is this bad, so if you work US timezone you better remember to fully stock>Bars either filled with old Europoors or ~finding myself~ mid-20-somethings who shit up the atmosphere 1/2 a second after bringing up I am American>Food is kinda not that healthy? Everything is fried and questionable. Decent meals are 7-12 dollars if eating out. "cooking at your place" is cheap but it was in the US>Living cheap is okay I guess, sure 475/mo for a half way decent studio is fine I guess. Cheap places want some stupid amount for electricity and utilities.>Internet seems shit, it's either fine until rain or weird latency issues especially during storms. Very weird how little free wifi is at places you think would have it. >Gyms here suck, tried to come here to get shredded but the lack of hygiene by locals and the annoying old timers that just hang out to hit on the girls on the treadmills is weird also why does every song here have to be some shitty cover of a good American song?>Tourist spots all look way better in the picture>air quality keeps making me get Claritin but for some retarded reason can only buy in packs of 10>beach is okay I guess? I'd rather just zip down to PR though.>DUDE WEED LMAO everywhere is really fucking annoying from the streets to the beach. Fuck I thought I was in LA's bullshit again.I don't really see the value savings wow 4 dollars for Chinese budlight amazing or 300B for chicken and rice with egg. People made it sound like flaunting a few bucks here and there made your weekend that of a king, as if. I think I spent less in Seoul all things considered while having a higher standard of living, here I couldn't be more unimpressed. Why does this shit get so much praise?
>>2901274>t. Stupid

>>2900755It's only incels who never left mommy's basement who say apa is bad. Breakfast is cash yo! Love their gravy.
>>2900755My GF and I stayed at this APA hotel and were very happy with it. Clean, organized and efficient. Room was very small, but we literally just were there to sleep, shower and have sex. Otherwise were outside all the time.There was a rooftop pool and a skyline bar with great cocktails.We also spent a night at an expensive Ryokan and enjoyed that too.People just relax and adapt!
>>2900755>Why are you such a loser that pays a plane ticket to the other side of the world just to lay on a bed?Literally read this while lying on my bed after a late nap. Guess I'll go outside and eat.
>>2900755>you surely have an itinerary Nope, men of leisure like us literally find the patio seating at our favorite restaurants and bars and drink up the world and people watch. Then we go get our peckers played with.Itineraries are for scampering faggots on 2 weeks of borrowed time

I'm headed to Kyrgyzstan in a couple of weeks and trying to work out where to go next.I work online and have my own business so can can go basically anywhere, though any further west is inconvenient cause of the timezones.Are any of the other 'stans worth seeing? Georgia? Armenia? It'll be my first time in Central Asia.
>>2900648Why?
>>2900557Why not Kazakhstan? Capital is a few hours from Bishkek
>>2900752I'd prefer a smaller town with nice nature to a big city
>>2900557I had a good time in Georgia and Armenia. Kazakhstan was fun too but I'd rather revisit the former

My dopamine receptors are fried and I'm in capable of living a normal life, so I'm looking for some new adventures. I'm from Canada but just got out of a 4 month job in Brasil where I travelled all over the country. I'm open to anything can be work, leisure, or volunteer, I just want some adventure. I've already been all around the world for leisure and work before so NPC shit like teach english in Korea. I've also have a decent amount of money in savings so money isn't a priority or I'm not to worries about having to spend a bit. Open to any suggestions just want to get out.
>>2900983yeah I was thinking of mexico but after working in Brasil for 4 months I'm a little latino'd out
>>2900619Just do the “dick touch duo” and go to Thailand and the Philippines. People watch at the bars during the day while you guzzle down some shitty beer and then it’s pecker play all night yeeeehaw

Same streetshitters, they merely shit on different DESIGNATED streets
Isn't it funny how pajeets have never created a meme of their own? They just (poorly) copy western memes from like 5 years ago.
No they aren't. Go on random google street view in their part of India and it will all be ugly polluted littered shit same as the rest of India.
Timeshares are non-terminable but transferable. This means on sites like eBay, Red Week, etc there are hundreds of people selling their vacation timeshares for one dollar. They are DESPERATE to get out of the lifetime contract and the $1000+ monthly payments. My new favorite way to kill time is messaging some of these sellers pretending to be someone super interested in the property or club or whatever (I love Hawaii!!) and asking a bunch of questions to give them a false sense of hope before ghosting them. It's a lot of fun. I don't know how people get talked into these things.
>>2899851It is annual, but some timeshares are so expensive (especially the point models) that the payments can easily be thousands.
>>2899911>what is inflationpost crypto pnl
>>2899897So what's the advantage over a hotel/resort?
>>2899911No they didn't. I talked to a boomer who handraked bunkers on a golf course as a kid, he made $5 per hour. Thirty years later, I was machine raking bunkers on a golf course for $8 per hour. Under Biden I shot up to $23 per hour raking bunkers, now the companies are all cutting staff (because nobody can afford to golf in Trump's fake worthless shitter economy) and I can't find fuck all for work.
>>2901071You blame trump for Biden making you unemployable? Lmao you are only worth $3.50 an hour that's your fault, get a skill
Fav city youtuber ever. So optimistic, always tries to find good neighborhoods in even the most car-centric cities in America. Overall very positive and optimistic compared to a certain someone who moved to another country because he can't handle the idea of having to drive a car.Who is (you)r favorite /trv/ 'tuber?
>>2894587I don't watch channels run by homosexuals.
>>2894590who?
He's a literal cuck, cue the wife's boyfriend jokes, etc.
>>2894587These channels are kind of boring and over analyze stuff. Sure, if you're picking where to buy a house and move with your wife and young kids, maybe it's useful. If you're single, just pick a place and move. You don't need to over analyze every detail. Half the stuff online about different places is overblown, overhyped, or the people talking about it don't have enough baseline to judge it objectively.
Isn't this the same retard how goes to microbreweries, rate if the public transportation takes you there, and then gets mad if bikelanes and shit aren't around? I think I remember this guy going to Phoenix, complaining it was hot, and the tram took him to a shitty bar.

Can anyone tell me what the FUCK is going on with countries demanding health insurance all of a sudden?Last time I traveled internationally was back in 2019 then this year out of the blue every time I go on Youtube I get an ad (I don't use Youtube as much as I did in the past so that's why I don't bother with an ad blocker) for health insurance to travel abroad.I've done some digging around and apparently countries are demanding it to prevent tourists from getting treatment for free(?)Like, how often do tourists get injured or sick to warrant this measure, the danger of national healthcare systems getting overwhelmed is realistically very low. What happened to doctors having to swear the Hippocratic Oath in order to get their license? Just eat the L and move on.
>>2900671Costa Rica IIRC
>>2900671Georgia is a new one but it was really cheap like 50 cents per day
>>2900592Its to stop all the fucking pajeets etc coming over to medmaxx
>>2901088>Its to stop all the fucking pajeets etc coming over to medmaxxnah India has cheap as fuck healthcare. It has to be richfags coming over. jeets cant afford a round trip just for medical tourism

Has any anon here ever tried volunteering in southern europe (or anywhere)? I'm thinking about doing it while traveling around Italy, Greece, or France because I don't have a job but I'm kind of afraid of it. It seems sketchy, even when the hosts have a lot of reviews.
It's a great way to get your Schengen Visa denied, deported and banned for 20 years from entering the Schengen Zone without a Visa from the embassy.Enjoy.
>>2901099>Completely different type of volunteering I'm talking about lol I'm talking about volunteering at a hostel through Worldpackers in exchange for a free room, not dealing with sick people in a shitty country. I would never go to the DRC. I just want to stay at the beach for free.I volunteered twice. The first time was at a hostel in Busan. It was a bunch of retarded russians and one black guy and me. I had to promise I would volunteer for a month but I already found a place to rent the second day and snuck out the second nightThe second time volunteering was in the Redwoods in California. It was a workstay to camp there. There was very little work, had to paint some benches a couple of hours a day. They gave free food and camping and taught us about Buddhism. I stayed there for a couple of weeks while I was waiting for my visa to get processed at the embassy. It was a good experience. I found it on some workstay website where you had to pay $40 a year to be a member
>>2900998Plenty of stuff on workaway in southern europeits usually small towns with some family that wants you to help their garden or something for rent and food
>>2901111I don't need a visa to travel to europe lol. Are there only anons from shithole countries on this board? What is going on?>>2901117Thanks for your opinion. About the retarded Russians, yeah, I'm kind of afraid of ending up with nasty people or refugees. That's the only thing keeping me from doing it. It's nice that you liked your second volunteering experience. I think the location will make all the difference.
>>2901145>Thanks for your opinion. About the retarded Russians, yeah, I'm kind of afraid of ending up with nasty people or refugees. That's the only thing keeping me from doing it. It's nice that you liked your second volunteering experience. I think the location will make all the difference.i think the difference was how i found it. the busan place i found it for free on the website, the california place was through a paid platform. i guess that filters out the absolute bottom of the barrelnormally I'm against paying for shit like that but I viewed it as "pay $40 to have accommodation in SF for two weeks"when you look at it like that it was a steal
Does Seoul have any redeeming features? Have to go there for a thing, and have been there before, but just seems a completely boring, dirty, soulless hellscape of a city. Picrel, it’s one of the “must see” things to do in Seoul (Sewoon Sangga)
I really liked Seoul>really good nightlife, made better by the fact that Koreans are very friendly and fun>go and have a look over the border at North Korea>Korean War museum was very good>nice place to just walk around and get kinda lost>lots of nice street food
>>2900388that post was two months ago you fucking retarded cunt
>>2884477Palaces are cool. Bukchon Hanok Village is cool (tourist trap, food is good, has nice feels). War museum is cool. Whores in Itaewon are amusing. Def try Korean sushi, they dissect a big tuna fish in front of you, serve you shark eyeball and gold leaf soju afterwords. Weird side quest: white tiger mountain is some weird indigenous shaman religious place. If you show up when they have ceremonies (I did) it will be very spooky. It's in a shitty (Buddhists are poorfags) so don't eat there.
>>2886621>>2887249>>2900267>>2900444>nightliferecommend me good nightlife in Seoul. Hongdae was fun for like 1 night because it was a unique experience but it quickly becomes cringe and the average age there is like 17.where is some of the best nightlife?
>>2901049>where is some of the best nightlife?there's only three places: Hongdae, Itaewon, and Gangnam. Seonsu is kind of growing but its not at that level yetHongdae is for younger people, Itaewon is for 30+ and foreigners, and Gangnam is for richfag larpers and materialist roasties

what are some cool french places to visit that aren't that tourist trap shithole
>>2899289>>2897318Just came back from holiday in Cotentin and Nantes and absolutely loved it. Cotentin looks like France 40 years ago, zero halal shops or Africans loitering around. Absolutely beautiful, great food and lovely people. Some nice hidden beaches with excellent water quality and temperature, there were surprisingly few if any tourists at all. Seemed more like a place where middle class French families have a beach home to stay at in the summer.Nantes was cool to visit for a day or two maybe but at night it turns into a zombie apocalypse with junkies and random migrants pestering you for change and shouting at each other/throwing chairs and glasses with zero cops around.If you want to visit D Day beaches and won't have a car you should stay in Caen or Bayeux because there are buses to each of the beaches. Public transport in the rest of Normandy seemed terrible if nonexistant.
>>2899598There are also remnants of the Atlantic Wall literally anywhere you go in Normandy. Cotentin is still very rural and I walked past a bunch of bunkers turned into barns or toolsheds by local farmers. In one town someone actually turned some gun batteries into some kind of holiday home.I've lived in Europe for a decade now and going here honestly felt like going back in time, like visiting rural mountain villages in Spain but without any rural decay you usually see in the countryside
>>2899603Nantes was a big change, it's an artsy college town with a genuine medieval city center. Great restaurants and shops if you're bookish and full of drop dead gorgeous women. Lots of stuff happening all the time and was genuinely enjoyable for 2 days (I stayed 3, got pretty bored the last one) but at night it was genuinely sketchy. I've lived in big cities in both America and Europe but haven't seen junkies come crawling out at night like cockroaches like that before.
corscia, i can't recommend it enough after visiting with two close friends last year in the summer. good wether not too hot and good hiking
>>2899605It doesn’t apply only to Nantes, it’s a general occurrence that the worst kind of people start infesting the streets once it gets dark. A French acquitance said it’s because they largely live off unemployment benefits and sleep at day, come out at night. idk whether that’s exaggerated.
