I was coming down off uppers and had to go for a walk to slow my mind, so I stepped out onto the avenue past midnight with my hands deep in the coat I got from a thrift shop. Everyone still out here moved with a reason and a sense of belonging, a delivery bag on a bike or a cab door swinging open, and I drifted between them flat and quiet, probably looking a little odd strolling at this hour. Holiday lights blinked along the fire escapes and the moon hung over a dumpster smoldering behind a diner. Somehow I felt more awake with every block, warm and easy against the cold. A squirrel scrambled up the brick while two cats watched it from a stoop, and I laughed out loud at the two of them. Steam rolled up from a grate and the breeze carried it across the crosswalk where a group of friends in scarves sang their way home, breath clouding under the heavy streetlight, their voices bright against the night. The city glowed in every lit window and every passing headlight, and I walked on slow with my chest open to the cold, wide awake and grateful to be out here breathing it in and feeling nice.

>>2916571When I was a teenager we had a branch of Jackson creek that ran through our property, but to get to it we had to go through 1/4 mile of treacherous swamp. Most of the way was either flooded, mudholes or quicksand, so you had to jump from tree root to tree root. Mpst of the time the only place to stand on solid ground was tree roots and sometimes they would all be covered in moss and swamp slime so if you didn't land your foot correctly you would slip off the root and there's nothing to grab or hold and you get swallowed by the swamp. We always made sure someone was with us, none of us went back there alone because we've all had to pull eachother out of quicksand and mudholes that we would not have survived alone.I don't what this has to do with your post but I'm getting old and I think there's an instinct when you get older to ramble on at people.

Heading there 11-21 January with my wife, our 2yr old, and our 4yr old. Any recommendations on things to do or things to avoid, where to stay, and how long to stay there? We'll be renting a SUV and bringing car seats. I speak enough Spanish to get around. We'll probably stay in a hotel in San Salvador for 2 nights and Air BnBs the rest of the time, then a hotel near the airport the night before our flight. My 4yr old likes animals (any kind) and my 2yr old likes dinosaurs and heavy machinery. Should we bother with a stroller at all? Or just backpack child carriers? It'd be nice to have somewhere for them to sleep during mealtimes and such but they can sort of do that in the rigid frame hiking carriers we have.
Anyone know how healthcare is in El Salvador? I just saw a comment in an article where Bukele is claiming to have revamped healthcare there so it's the "best in the world". Do they have medical tourism set up so that patients can fly in, speak with a physician IN ENGLISH, and get treated?

And there’s a lot of kids stuff in there.I had a great time. People were lovely. About 30% of my interactions people spoke English and wanted to. Clean, safe, affordable, good quality food. I’d say get out to the beach. I did zona Rosa and beach.

>>2917363If you've ever read Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" you find out what a piece of shit Krakauer is. In the newer editions there's an afterword in which he alludes to some sort of "controversy" where a lot of people hate him, but never ever says what it's all about. Basically he blew off everyone who needed help, left them to die, and crawled into his tent to cry. Meanwhile, Anatoli Boukriev went up and down the mountain three times to rescue almost everyone no matter which teams they were on -- the only people who died were Boukriev's team-lead employer, who was stranded all the way at the top, and a bunch of people on Krakauer's "team". Then Krakauer made up a bunch of shit smearing Boukriev and the leader of Boukriev's team to make himself look like less of a pathetic scumbag.
For me it's the 2008 K2 disaster.This shit is like a ready-made movie script. If you saw some of the things that actually happened in a theatre you'd call them cliche.

I am likely going to Stockholm in December for a trip. How long should I stay, what in Stockholm kick ass, what should I avoid or otherwise be aware of? Also do the women want to fuck Americans?
>Stockholm in December sounds miserable. maybe you can catch some metal shows if you like that
I just took a trip to Stockholm and really enjoyed it. Although I went in August so weather was peak.. in December im not sure. I really liked Drottningholm castle, go early and walk the gardens before the tour groups come. Id take the train there in the AM and then take the ferry back to Stockholm. Was pretty cool and if you time it right the return ferry will be almost empty since it first comes right around when you'll be finishing (assuming you are one of the first ones in the palace). There is a really cool scifi bookshop with tons of vintage books from the golden era of fantasy and scifi - its called Stockholm Science Fiction Antikvariat. Id recommend spending a day walking around Sodermalm and Ormsaltaren in general. I really liked those areas, felt more chill and authentic. Less luxury shopping and tourist traps. For Museums, I liked the Vasa, the National Museum, and my favorite was The Hallwyl Museum. Make sure to ask to go on the tour to the portrait room. It is by tour only and in winter they only do tours in Swedish. Now as a friendly non swede they may take pity on you and just bring you up there for free if you're very polite. In general I loved stockholm, and found it better than Copenhagen. It was more calm and had more greenspace, and all of the waterfront views were amazing. I also found the people to be really really friendly and helpful. Idk what people mean when they say swedes are offputting, could not be further from the truth. Also the seafood is fucking incredible. Had Turbot for the first time in my life and it was genuinely one of the best meals ive ever had. Get swedish meatballs if you want but desu I used all my meals on Seafood after I did them once and had the Signature pastry of theirs for a breakfast. Toast Skagen is great. If you want a hotel recc, Hotel at Sixx was great and had a nice breakfast buffet. Great sauna too, which in December you'll really want.
>>2913277What's up with all the Thai massage places in Stockholm? You'd think Sweden would be the place to easily find Swedish style massages.
>>2913277>. How long should I stay, When in all districts the police and women recognise you from local news alerts then its time to leave.
>sthlm in decSorry to hear, bud.>How long should I stayFrankly, don't. I'm not an angry chud, I'm born and raised here with tons of experience of worldwide travel. It's just a bad time to visit.>what should I doIf you have to come, walk around town. It can be pretty. Sometimes you get lucky and get snow, but December is a bad bet. January is typically where you get the pretty stuff. Nothing really to be wary of, it's a safe and quiet city. No tourist traps. It's just going to be a lot of walking around looking at buildings in the dark. If you like solitude and introspection it might be rewarding.>do the women want to fuck AmericansNo, not particularly. Winter is not the right time to look for hookups in any sense. Not saying it's impossible, but I doubt it. Most people wake up early, work, go back home, eat dinner and sleep. Sometimes maybe you go out for dinner with a friend, but definitely not looking for outsiders to butt in.
Flew home four days ago and I am still not fully back. We rented a car in Athens and drove three hours south into the Peloponnese with no real plan, found a village my husband had circled in a guidebook from 1987, parked outside the walls and walked in. The butcher was open. A woman was arguing on a balcony. We bought bread from a bakery the size of a closet and ate it on a step in the square under a plane tree that had no business still being alive. In the afternoon we drove down to the coast and swam off rocks, no beach, just rocks and water so clear you could see the bottom twenty feet down and the bottom was just more rock, pale and clean. We dried off in the sun and drove back up to the village and sat outside the one kafeneion and drank coffee that arrived without being asked about and watched nothing happen for two hours and I have been to forty-one countries and I cannot tell you what was happening in those two hours except that I was completely inside something and not outside looking at it and that almost never happens to me anywhere.

There's plenty of whores (especially the older ones) who enjoy comforting lonely guys and satisfying their needs without the complexities of Ro Mance. Bonus points if you are an awkward needy boy. I saw an 18 year old incel at a dive bar in Mexico celebrating his birthday with his male relatives. The bar mama started petting him and he reached up to stroke her hands. All kinds of bawdy talk and laughter ensued, then she took him into the back room for about 45 minutes. When he came out, the whole bar broke into cheers. This is why spics have such natural confidence. They aren't constantly being belittled with insults and demotivational propaganda. Don't have a gf? Feeling lonely? Go out with the primos and they help you find a woman.

I'm wanting to go camping in rural Germany next year. Travel around on the trains and buses, starting in NRW where I used to live as a kid (Dad was British Army) What's the situation like over there right now in terms of third worlders? I get that the cities are just as bad as the UK, but what is the countryside like? I want to see beautiful scenery and quaint little villages without having to fight my way through hordes of hijabs.Where should I avoid?

Going to Louisville for a few days. Anything fun to do here besides KFC and bourbon?
>>2916925>historic area is ruined by an interstatecringeusually I just drive and then get out to snap photos of houses I likeWheeling WV had some really interesting old houses - like older than usual cuz its on the Ohio River so it could be settled earlier than most frontier-places usually Italianate is as old as it gets but these were maybe 1840-1850 vintage is my guess - really distinctive facades. Too bad Wheeling kinda is disappointing overall - it's a cool location and has a great bridge you can walk across to get good pictures of the Ohio River - esp if its full.
>>2916926yeah in the 1950s-60s preserving old buildings wasnt on anyone's mind, it was all about NEW NEW NEW
Go to the caves. Best shit ever. You will have to drive a bit but cave city is awesome.
>>2917002If you're into outdoors stuff, there are also some really good rivers near Louisville where you can rent a Kayak. They do shuttles from the end back to the start. Elkhorn and the Blue River are both good. Floyds Fork is fun, but there's no shuttle.

I am currently visiting Appalachia but the internet here is too shitty to post the photos I took today. I will be in the area for the next week. Would anyone like to read a liveblog? If that guy who uh poverty travels can do it, maybe I can too. But only if y'all want it. I don't wanna make waves. I guess I can start with some text. I'm staying near the Cane River which feeds into the Nolichucky River which then feeds into the Tennessee River, reaching Chattanooga in I dunno 150 mi of twists and turns and the mighty Mississippi in many more. The Nolichucky River damn famously came close to getting btfo during Helene. This area got shrekt by Helene. The river is currently flooded by Isaias-remnants, but you can see the river is less than half as high as it was during Helene from the scar on the bank. Looks like they must have rebuilt much of the road to get here, and I had to cross a one lane bridge where the other lane got partially wiped out by Helene (assuming) and they are still rebuilding it 2 years later. Tomorrow I head west towards the Georgia border.
>>2916827Ok so TODAY I went to Tallulah Gorge to finish some more hiking (last time I went left at the visitors center to Inspiration Point - which apparently always means an overlook facing the opposite direction of the main one (see: chimney rock @ lake lure) although I guess that one is called exclamation point but um close enough. This time I did overlooks 1A 2 3 4 and 51A is overlooking the bridge that crosses the gorge 2 is looking at the biggest waterfall from above, 3 is right nearby looking across the gorge and sorta more into it perpendicularly, 4 is looking at the dam spillway and 5 is pretty overgrown but WOULD be a great overlook looking downstream in the gorge if they cleared the trees and it was cloudy - tallulah gets washed out on sunny days (both times ive been) and its hot as balls most of the yearI'm also the only person who travels domestically here lol.
Meh I'll load pictures tomorrow. I'm exhausted and have done my physical quota for a few days. I had a good discussion with the enthusiastic young woman working at the visitors center @ tallulah gorge on the procedures for accessing the bottom of the gorge. Seems like maybe in the past you could have gotten permits any time of day just with only so many given out per day (which is I think how Linville Gorge works) but now its 8,10,noon, you watch an instructional video, and you are allowed to descend the steps to the bottom (I think it's like 300-400 ft or so vertically) and then there's some sort of swimming opportunity then you come back out the other side and loop around (a highway crosses the gorge and hikers take a pedestrian path attached to the bridge)she said you end up using your hands a lot coming back out of the gorge which spooked me and she said it is a 4 hr hike and im slow as hell and it would be at least 6 hours for meI want to come back when they do dam releases to watch the waterfalls REALLY go.
>>2916906>I'm also the only person who travels domestically hereDoubt. Last times I went to the area all the tourists were southern fried Amerifats who balked at any meaningful exertion. Hardly a hot girl anywhere, just fat weary old parents and rambunctious young kids. >>2916924>she said you end up using your hands a lot comingI use my hands a lot when I come too. Specifically the left hand, which is strange because with everything else I am right handed.

Pakistan is pretty big, where were you thinking of? Lahore isn't bad, and you can see the border closing ceremony there.
>>2917106Skardu is one of the most incredible places I've ever visited. Astonishing.>t. ~80 countries so far
>>2917875I was going to say OP should look into Gilgit-Baltistan. I knew a Pakistani woman in grad school who shilled that place hard and I'll be honest, she convinced me. She's also Lahori and really sold the food there too, but obviously you need to watch your stomach if you try street food. It's not India tier filthy because in my experience Indian culture just inculcates a casual disregard that makes it a lot worse, but they're literally right next door and are genetically almost identical. Also, the weather. Lahore can be brutally hot and polluted. If you're actually going to Pakistan and not troll farming then I'd say go to GB.
