>>2895807>kept me trapped with my cunt mother>And no social trust is completely destroyed now.here's a clue anon if you refer to your mother as "my cunt mother" and basically sperging out at other people online you're probably not doing much for social trust yourself. were you an ipad kid by any chance? that would explain why basic social interaction is apparently beyond your understanding>>2895810>You people didn't travel. You just walked around an empty shithole looking at decaying buildings, not interacting with anyone, no interest in the society or culture.lol nope. i have property and businesses in the uk and malaysia and i travelled between them. i interacted with loads of people and although there were lots of restrictions life kind of went on. it's still going on now although i think you might not have noticed it.

The best legacy of covid is remote work. Although my employer is iffy about it, I still can WFH 50% of the time. Would be nice to be able to work from a beach in Thailand but can't have everything.
What are your predictions for international travel in the 2030s?>flights will get more expensive but they will introduce standing seats for the lowest cattle class>mandatory (and enforced) proof of health insurance>countries move from 90-day to 30/60-day tourist visas

Looking for opinions on Argentina. I am looking at options for living long term part time (5.5 months) away from Canada. With the possibility of making a permanent move in the future. Background: Retired CAF with a substantial retirement combined with injury pension. Would just be me and my teenage son travelling.Funding wise, I clear approx $6000 USD/month after taxes.What's the internet access like in the rural areas?I plan on renting a car for mobility as I hate public transport.What's the best places for rural living where I can enjoy the Gaucho culture?Are there any places I might be priced out of living?Thanks
>>2895606The immigration for both countries is handled on boarding, both in Argentina and Uruguay. The customs check is not a joke though, they frequently scan the locals for excess products. Everyone does it, and the customs knows it, so 80% of the time when they scan someone they find way too many bottles of booze, meat, whatever, and get a hefty fine. But you're right in that customs are a joke for foreigners, they just wave you through. They only scan locals.

So what's the theory anons? I find it a little hard to believe that this nordic just went into the woods and killed himself after an argument with his family. Could there be foul play involved?

If you strip off all features that make an American big city unique which would be the most archetipical one? Which one is the 'real America'?
Williamsburg>inb4 "city" means +1million people only
>>2895017That goes for all of Ohio really. Whenever I drive through I think about how this must be exactly how foreigners imagine the US to be like.
>>2895003Dallas or Indianapolis
>>2895018At the surface level, but it's considerably more quirky and vibrant in practice than most cities. You see sprawl, but it's significantly more international that it looks and very lenient zoning gives it a different street character than other sprawly American cities.I'm not from Houston, but I lived there for several years, and while it's not a good place for tourism, it has a lot more going on than the typical sprawling, vaguely midwestern places people imagine as a typical American city.

I have, as a 23 year old, 25K to spend it on a travel to Indonesia, what can i do realistically with that money in Indonesia? I have been thinking of spending my whole time, 3 months to be exact in Jakarta and flirting with the women as a Young White guy, seeing if i can get some lucky with older women there and overall having a good time as a Young Expat, this is my first travel abroad ever and i was wondering if i needed to know something beforehand this whole thing takes place. Any recommendations or advices for my plan?
>>2895889>I have been thinking of spending my whole time, 3 months to be exactare you dead set on 3 months? $25k can last you 5 years>>2895893yeah agree with this anon. just did 3 months in kl and only fucked korean and japanese roastie sexpats. personally never going to a muslim country again because of how gay they are. i also think indonesian women are hot but you're better off getting them in australia
>>2895894If you've never travelled abroad and only speak english, I would strongly recommend Manila. Airbnb's all included in Makati are like 500-600/mo with utilities included for a good condo, you can extend visa stays up to like 3 years. 25k planned smartly would get you a year there without any worries. Everyone basically speaks english as well meaning if you get into issues there isn't as bad a language barrier, sure Jakarta english is all over but it's questionable compared to PH.Thailand, BKK probably the best as a first timer.If you want Jakarta just do a month and then think if you want to try 3, being on the equator is difficult for some people
>>2895896>>2895895Thank you a lot Anons
>>2895895Yeah muslim country for 1st time traveler would be hard.>random ass rules because fuck you that's why>it's holiday for durka durka everything close even the foreigner bars and shit can't sell alcohol and limited food>5AM and 8PM prayers blasting>NO SIRS NOT DO THING THAT IS HARAM with women>food randomly priced and if you wanna go to some supermarket it might be muslim only or some other retarded shit
>>2895896Manila is a dump, it would be too much of a culture shock for a 1st timer.My advice: just go to Thailand. The english level is ok in touristic places, it's cleaner, safer and the women are good, especially that there is less stigma for older women dating younger men. I had a few girls in their 40s and even one 50 yo and it was not problematic at all.
Cool travel general.I wish south America looked like this. What's a cooler part of South America I can visit for a pleasant holiday?
>>2895787All of Patagonia is freezing during the winter which encompasses the south of Argentina and Chile, you have plenty of provinces and cities to visit there and several sky centers.I recomen the lakes region of Argentina, Bariloche, Villa la Angostura, San Martin de los Andes, El Bolsón.And you can't go wrong with Puerto Varas in Chile.
>>2895907Sounds comfy, I don't have a driving license through, and I had no idea Chile was the most expensive country. Jesus, good thing you let me know, I'll stay away>>2895927Argentina seems bland to me, I hear most of them are just Italians. I'm looking for something a bit more authentic and wild. I like the idea of places like Ecuador when they have real prehistoric homosapiens still walking around, I may come across a weird language that isn't even Spanish. That would make me trip, I'd be feeling giddy for hours
>>2895919Erm this is /trv/ where do you think we are?
Anyone ever been to Mongolia or Northeast China in winter? Seems like they make the rest of the world look pathetic by comparison.

Cheap/safe places to day-hike in a tropical rainforest? Like a typical American state park; drive out, park in the lot, and walk 5-10 miles on a dirt trail with some nice vistas or a waterfall or something. Not really interested in a guided "see the elephants" safari tour or whatever, just want to walk through the jungle and admire the views. Preferably South/Central America, I'm in the northeast US so plane tickets there are drastically cheaper than Africa or SEA. I'm also pasty white so ideally not somewhere where being an obvious American tourist puts a target on your back.
>>2894485>Like a typical American state park;Maybe look into Puerto Rico
Hawaii has the most scenic tropical day-hikes on the planet. You don't even have to leave Oahu. British Virgin Islands have some really pristine places, though the jungle is less jungly.The Daintree Rainforest in Oz has good infrastructure on all sides, easy to get to and navigate. Possibly the most "jungly" jungle I've ever been to in terms of biodiversity, density, waterfalls n shit.Belize is great but you either have to be equipped to camp and rough it, or have money to pay to stay at ecoresorts. I never been to Costa Rica, I hear it's similar, but with much bigger trees.>>2895063I love China but this looks like shit.>Probably the only tropical rainforest region in the world where you have easy access to first world amenitiesEvery place I just named has better infrastructure than bumfuck province, yunnan, and I could name 20 more.
>>2894485Wouldn't the bugs eat you alive?
>>2894485It's not tropical but Washington state, British Columbia, and Alaska have some awesome rainforest.
>>2894485If you visit Japan in the summer, you’ll realize just how grueling it is to hike through a tropical rainforest. The air is thick with moisture, and even in the shade or in the middle of the night, it doesn’t get cool—you’ll be drenched in sweat even if you just stand still.

Have you ever been deported or banned from a country? What exactly happened? Do you regret it?
>>2890832This didnt happen. Thai only care if you overstay and dont pay.
>>2890664not yet, but having been refused entry is much more common
>>2890678>> 19, youtuber / vloggeri stopped reading there
>>2890664Sort of. The company I worked for (tech firm, not a dance-monkey-dance ESL school) tried to fuck me over by firing me while I was out of the country (Taiwan, BTW) and told me they'd cancelled my visa, so I went to a Taiwanese consulate and got a new visa so I could go back.Then when I went back to try to find a new job, Customs marked me as coming in on my old work visa, which it turned out hadn't been cancelled after all. THEN the company cancelled my visa.Meanwhile, I was renting a room in one of those "we bought a warehouse and compartmentalized it into a hundred apartments" type places. All the mail was dumped into a communal bin, which I never bothered to look at because who the fuck is going to send me mail there anyway. Welp, turns out the National Immigration Authority sent me one when my ex-employer terminated my work visa.So a few weeks later I'm leaving Taiwan when my 60 days on the tourist visa are up. Customs pulls me aside and tells me I've overstayed. I'm confused as fuck because I have a valid 60-days-at-a-time visa and am leaving on around day 58. I show them my visa. They take my passport away and I stand there wearing a rictus grin on my face wondering if I'm going to be stuck outside the country for weeks, unable to go back and pack up my stuff, with absolutely no one I can contact because I don't know ANYONE other than my ex-employer.They bring back my passport, show me that they've stamped "CANCELLED CANCELLED CANCELLED CANCELLED CANCELLED ..." about a hundred times all over the work visa, tell me everything's fine, and send me on my flight.Fucking whew.On a positive note, my employer got hit with a massive lawsuit for fucking things up for their clients about a year later, and most of the companies that worked with them downgraded their work with the company.

Returning from a European holiday to Australia feels sickening, especially just as Summer is about to start up there. All I can think about is the feasibility of spending 3~4 months a year up there during Summer and coming back to Australia the remainder of the year.The major problem is work. You'd be hard-pressed to find a company that allows over 2 months away annually in one shot every year. Australian salaries are much healthier than European jobs too, so the work must be based in Australia. There's also the problem of meeting times (probably not an issue if a global job has the same meeting at different hours to accommodate global staff).Residency and taxes are another problem, but I'd figure it out.How do you manage to reside where you want in the world while keeping a big strong Australian salary-tier job which doesn't care about where or when you do your work?
Yeah I don't know what some people in this thread's problem is, working remotely is awesome if your job allows it and you don't have anyone waiting for you back home.Lotta aussies working from thailand given the small tz diff, but regardless, if you want europe it depends on if you'll healthily manage being nocturnal. As long as you have a day-night schedule, even if it's an artificial one, there shouldn't be any problems...Enjoy the world.
>>2884723I worked from Asia on Pacific Time Zone. I would wake up 3 am and finish work at 1 pm. Essentially was a swing shift, and my company was okay with me synchronizing 4-5 hours with the team.
>>2888919Are you retarded? That's prepping for the gym between 4-5AM, so that's stretching, protein+light meal, preworkout (coffee/power/energy drink) then working out till 7AM, so anywhere between 2-3 hours at the gym. Perfectly normal, maybe not needing an hour of perp but assuming it means a flexible ballpark of time rather than exacts.>>2891562Aside from the fact I can spend about 6hours out and about doing whatever each weekday seeing something while having weekends completely open to any local happenings. If "everything is just the same" to you then maybe travel isn't actually interesting? I'm US we get about 14 days company holiday and 3 weeks PTO(use to be 4), my boss doesn't care where I am as long as my work tasks/projects are done when he asks. If I want to take a week or 2 off, guess what I don't have to spend 2-3 days of the requested time off simply to get to Asia or Europe.Being off work and ready to do anything from 6am->1PM before shit gets fucked is so nice. I can basically go hiking before it's too hot out, see museums or attractions as the gates open and before endless jeets/changs fill up the place. If your focus is only drinking and partying with hookers, sure might lose a large amount of it's interest to you. I know people who do the 2PM wake up->day out->work till 5AM->sleep; I just can't get vibe with that anymore maybe I'm just getting old.
>>2895892>That's prepping for the gym between 4-5AM, so that's stretching, protein+light meal, preworkout (coffee/power/energy drink) then working out till 7AM, so anywhere between 2-3 hours at the gym. Perfectly normal, maybeyeah right. you probably spend 2.5 hours on your phone and 30 minutes lifting
>>2895904Anon I was just explaining what was probably meant by that. I do a 5AM preworkout of C4->McDicks meal of breakfast extra eggs/sausage->Gym by 6AM->hour on the treadmill and weights->back home for a shower and protein shake post workout->830AM when things are finally opening go out for the day.That's not unusual at all if you have an AF membership and can access it whenever.
Just an FYI, Expedia, in it's infinite stupidity took another bong hit recently and elected to no longer share telephone numbers with the hotels. They claim it's for "security".Unfortunately this means that if there's a problem with your reservation, the hotel has no means by which to contact you directly (Expedia has already made their commission - they don't care). We're not going to try to connect with you through Expedia - it never works.Use booking.com or the hotel website directly.
>>2894402>$30I can't speak for other hotels but at my property booking direct is almost always significantly cheaper. When I travel direct is cheaper too. I feel like people just don't look and have the impression that third party is cheaper all the time because "the hotel is obviously trying to scam you" or something.>>2894406In a typical week 70-80% of our reservations are direct
>>2894410Ive booked over 300 times in the last 5 years and only once was booking direct cheaper
>>2894402the money saving strat is to book last minute. you can use google travel to see the price comparison between all the platforms and direct. i'm just a cheapest possible place guy so i don't care if i get fucked on my $4 hostel bunk, i just take what's cheapest
>>2894396>You're also dead last in priority for room upgradesThe fuck kind of nonsense is this.
>>2892938This sounds like third world booking issues where the listing is only up so the hosts can try to get around the cut Expedia enforces. They still have the ability to message via expedia which shows up as emails or texts on their end.Only had this issue once in SEA where I elected pay to at property and some retard was there
