I recently won the jackpot in my state lottery. Fortunately it's not a dystopian state that forces your name to be public. I've won more money than I could ever dream of, but as a NEET I don't know what to do. As I cannot explain my immediate changerts in lifestyle, I've decided to assume the façade that I have got a job in another country and need to move within just weeks (my money will clear next week).

So my questions to you anons, are:
- Where should I move to?
Money is not an issue, I will invest it safely in the stock market and live off dividends. I could afford literally anywhere beyond tax havens like MonacO but I have no desire to be there anyway (I'm sure Nice is niceR)

- Do you have any suggestions for my alibi?
I've been a NEETGOD for years now and the massive gap in my CV will turn some heads if they hear I am moving internationally for work.

- Any places I should visit that you recommend in general?

the point is that your price anchoring is way off. $500 is an overpay in Seoul or Shanghai. Jakarta is not on that level at all. In Kuala Lumpur my room was $225. I knew expats paying $1000+ for the same quality in KL, but the locals said even my $225 room was an overpay

There is no surf in Jakarta. This would be Krui area in Sumatra, maybe Banda Aceh up out of the Mentawaii shadow, or something like Cimaja in West Java. Somewhere with surf and trading dance clubs for less crowded lineups. Bali, Lombok, and Sumbawa are blown.

Appreciate the responses!

I am a German of Lebanese heritage on holiday in Brazil. I am visiting my Uncle who lives there. Been here two weeks and love the place. Told my uncle wish I could stay here. He laughs and goes just get a girl pregnant they let you stay.

I think he is joking and laugh. Later on in the week I go boy I really do love it here, i wonder if a wagey like me could genuinely move here, he looks at me and goes, i told you just get a girl pregnant you can stay.

I look visibly confused. He laughs and goes how do you think I came here you idiot, I was unemployed on welfare in Germany and I came here on holiday with your other uncle and I fucked the maid in our villa and got her pregnant and shes now your auntie.

I google it and holy shit, you can literally just nut inside a brazilian girl, stay until she gives birth and they open citizenship pathway to you lol.

How the fuck is this real, why are wage cucks and NEEToids not doing this? I am in Foz do Iguaçu, it will cost me around 200-250 euro a month for rent, another 200 for food a month.

I can literally become a brazillian citizen by fucking a big ass brazillian girl. I am doing it im going to proposition as many local girls as possible.

YESSSSSSS this is sick.

We've got a Vancouver, too, on the south edge of the state just across from Oregon. Apparently it's a great place to live because you can go shopping in Oregon and pay zero sales tax, while paying Washington state's relatively much lower property taxes.

Thinkin' 'bout a Bergen trip April 2027.
Probably 5 days, excluding travel.
What are some good day trips? Also what's a place to stay? I'd probably just stay in the city center but if there is some cute little place that's well connected but outside the city I'd consider that instead

Bergen is nice, I won't pretend it's not but there really is fuck all to do there. 5 days is far too much. If you're into nature/hiking I'd advise renting a car and doing some local day trips. Also the weather in Bergen will be shit in April, you're liable to get 5 straight days of rain or even snow. /Out/ stuff is miserable that time of year if you're not wholly prepared for the weather.

If you don't want to do that then you should probably split the trip with at least 1 other city. The train ride between Bergen and Oslo is about 8 hours and is an activity in and of itself, very beautiful and the train is comfy. Definitely reserve a seat as it gets busy in peak season.
>>
I went to a black metal festival in Bergen once its the only place in Norway I’d ever consider going back to but I dont know what you’d do there for that long
>>
>>2900363
Aye.
Train to Oslo sounds nice.
Or maybe a ferry to Kristiansand. That looks neat.
Perhaps I'll do 2 days and 3 days doing other stuff.

Japan is great but I do think the western autism obsession has made it grossly overrated, especially in the golden route locations it's tourist hell,
This is subjective but I think the urban locations in Singapore look cooler aesthetically and the country is more English friendly

If you're someone like me who into anime going to Japan for your first trip to Asia makes sense but try and be open minded to other locations in Asia if you travel often

Singapore sucks.

It's a sterile shopping mall located in the most bum-ass sauna hell climate imaginable.

>but it's walkable
Yes and no. There are walkable *hubs* connected by transit; there is no continuous urban fabric like you'd see in NYC, London, Paris, Tokyo, etc.
>but it's clean
Kind of. There is no gum or trash on the streets, I'll grant you that. But everywhere perpetually reeks of BO thanks to the climate and nothing is more nauseating than the combination of tropical heat, body odor stench, and heavy cooking smells (which are everywhere thanks to the ubiquity of hawker centres)
>There are no nigs
True. Also true: Singapore is 10% indian.

I cannot overstate how bad the Singapore's climate is. It is so, so, so incredibly fucking awful. Japan is a little warm for my tastes but at least it has seasons and 2/3 of the year is fine.

I'm trying to decide where to travel and spend around 2–3 months (starting this mid August). I currently live in the UK, but I'm originally from Chile.
Right now, I'm looking for places where I can rent a private room for under £600 per month. I'm especially interested in places with rich folklore and history, not just beautiful landscapes, but also interesting people, architecture, and local myths. I'm an artist, and I want to paint these places and learn about their stories.
I've already spent a month in Japan 5 years ago, and it was beautiful. I'd love to go back someday, but I'm not sure my current lifestyle and the kind of trip I want right now really fit Japan.
Scotland has really caught my attention, especially because of the weather and Edinburgh.
Eastern Europe also interests me a lot, mainly because I'm fascinated by Brutalist architecture, and it seems like it could be much more affordable.
I'm open to any suggestions! If you know of a place with a strong folklore tradition, beautiful architecture, and a reasonable cost of living, I'd love to hear about it.

Why do people always seem to only travel to places like Japan, Thailand, Greece and the other "usual" spots instead of somewhere less common but still cool? I`m not saying you gotta go to a place like Turkmenistan just to not be like the other girls but I`m talking about actual cool places.

Guadeloupe for example is a Caribbean, tropical volcanic Island with rainforests, waterfalls, coral reefs, and black and white sand beaches where you can sunbathe with Iguanas. That sounds way cooler to me than walking around Tokyo looking at office buildings? yet none of you have ever heard of it.

Explain

Travelling to the exotic third world has little appeal.
I can assure you everyone can have that kind of cozy, rural, genuine experience somewhere closer to home without needing to blow thousands of dollars in transportation because you can only get to Tikiniki village by taking a a plane to Gaza, then a 20 hour bus ride and travel 6 hours by sea, only to risk of getting robbed and raped by pirates or getting explosive diarrhea in the middle of the jungle where the only medicine is leaf juice and opioids. Just so you can have some monkey stew, take pics of pretty nature and have pussy of questionable age in exchange of an empty Starbucks cup.

Only liberal college-aged normies with privileged lives need to prove that they're "real and cool" with such trips. Most people have jobs and don't wanna spend precious time and resources to put themselves in genuine danger, when you can just go to Tokyo, Paris or Rome and have the time of your life in a comfortable place.

I'm an Airbnb host, have been for 8 years now.
I've seen the platform slowly but surely circle down the drain over the years.
I don't know if y'all have noticed but recently they've announced that they're "simplifying" fees because everyone has been complaining about them for a while now.
By "simplifying" fees what they actually mean is that hosts like me will be paying for the standard host fee that was introduced years ago AND the fee that was charged to guests. Effectively Airbnb takes a cut of 15.5% off of every booking.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UfCNna5llE
The geniuses with MBAs in management currently running the company are either too stupid or simply don't care enough to realize that this will just result in hosts raising their prices to keep their payouts the same, which will cause guests to be outraged at the price hike and fuck off to rival platforms.
Just another example of how corporate greed has run another company into the ground.

I had one airbnb that was a lil sketchy and there was duct tape to cover the gap between the window ac unit and the edge of the window - and it was a very cold early october so that was not fun
and I accidentally left the light below the microwave on and when I got back it was off - sorta weird
and the code they gave me for entry was wrong, so now ive gotten in the habit of asking the host directly for the code if they don't give it out as usual the morning of or day before so you don't have to rely on whatever the app says that can be inaccurate
>The dozen non-sense fees
what fees, you see the whole price and if you want early/late check in/out best to negotiate before cuz they may try to gouge you or just be dicks and say no if someone is coming before/after

also don't stay with black hosts
lol
I tried, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, some were fine, just weirdly obsequious (bow down to you), but a few were just nuts so no, not again

airbnb has locked me out of the platform because I can't remember the CVV code from a credit card lost three years ago, nor can I receive an OTP from the Laotian phone number which was used for my last booking. I can't create a new account because I already have an existing account in my name, and selecting "Get Help" only directs me back to the login screen. App techies are all tards who love designing these infuriating failure loops.

I haven't booked Airbnb for a while, but you'd give them a price range. Then go to book and they'd tack on stuff like "booking fee, host fee". I don't remember them all, but it was obviously a shit test to see if you are paying attention.
I switched to vrbo for the same property and it dropped all the fees. Plus you don't have to stay with anyone.
