>>2877022Niggers also always have to sit with their yields on in the arrivals for a hour. I don't know what it is about them but they do this everywhere and not even just airports. Niggers will just sit in front of grocery stores by the entrance. I've seen southern airports enforce the go to the cell phone lot rules, but places like baltimore, philly, completely unenforced. An niggers will just sit in the arrival and take up space indefinitely.
>merchant marines and offshore jobs impossible to get>remote jobs are scarce >working holiday visa jobs pay like shit or industries that don't take short term visasHow the fuck are you supposed to balance having disposable income and not being an office cuck as a burger in 2026? I honestly just wish I was a eurocel making 30k a year with a month of holiday every year. Has anyone even been able to get hired through the avenues mentioned in the above greentext in current year?

>>2877486>remote jobs are scarceThey aren't if you're skilled they just pay way way lower.

>>2877349>Shes really just getting that free white guy paycheckHe did a Q&A and mentioned that they met because she was a follower on TikTok or Instagram and kept liking his posts. It's a pretty common trend with SEA travel vloggers to have local girls stalk their social media in order to try their luck. I've seen it happen to other YouTubers too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KESa5ZS09hU

Is it even possible to go to SEA as a single white male without everyone you know assuming you're either going to fuck prostitutes, fuck trannies, or be a pedo?

>>2875352Who cares? No matter how you dress it, if they have a reason to think negatively about it, they either already thought you were a weird faggot, or are just jealous of you. Either go or don't.

>>2875352Honestly, no, it’s pretty unavoidable. I actually look forward to the day when I’m older and can just be another faceless barstool boomer guzzling his “beer chang” and staring off into space at “MyFriendYou Bar” on Soi FuckingNowhere between my nasty, lecherous docking of sultry middle aged Thai women. Seriously.I’m turning 35 but I still look young and have hair. That comes with certain expectations by most people that you’ll have a social life and friends. Not meeting that expectations bewilders Normies and they rightfully assume something is wrong with you. When you’re an old coomer boomer. You’re correctly slotted as a divorced dad just living out your last days. That’s where I wanna be. I wanna be a loser in peace
Gonna be in LA for a few days for a concert. Already been to>Hollywood sign>Griffith Observatory>Hollywood Walk of Fame>LACMA>Getty Center>La Brea tar pits>Venice Beach>Santa Monica pierWhat am I missing?
>>2876283Yes and no. LA has some of the best food in the world. There are some great things to do. The Getty is rad. Going to a Lakers game is pretty great. There are some good beach towns like Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes. The Asian massage parlors are incredible. Malibu has some of the best hiking in the US. The music scene is really good too. But yea, there are homeless people all over the place. Hollywood is literal hellscape. The traffic in the city is unbearable. There are way too many brown people for it to be safe. Its not worth traveling to LA to visit because it's too expensive. Save your money and go to Yosemite instead.
>>2872028Get a mexican shrimp cocktail or Al Pastor tacos from a taco truck in East LA. Also look for lowrider meetups.
>>2872028How's public transportation and the local trains?
>>2872028technically not LA but if you are willing to go a little further then head over to Solvang for that Danish looking town, they also have ostrich feeding, weener dog races, viking festivals, christmas festivals, and a bunch of good food spots since chain restaurants are banned in that town

I find that the most comfy experiences in my life were abroad. I have travelled a lot solo and with others, but I think the best has been going to Japan and Taiwan with my girlfriend a few times each at this point. I spend so much of my day longing for those endless nights of exploration through places foreign and not. It makes the world feel more whole, and real? I don't know why but I never felt that way in America, or in Western Europe, something uniquely expressed in Asia (mostly just Taiwan and Japan, and parts of Korea [China too I'd assume in some parts]), as well as some of the nicer Eastern European countries. Just, a more real life. As if it were whole. I travel for that feeling, and the endless promise of something new. Something to sate my boredom.Why do you travel /trv/ler?
>>2876647I live in one of the flattest places on earth, so any geologic variety, especially mountains, blows my little mind. Couldn't care less about anything else.
>>2876647i travel for instagram likes
>>2876883I'm not boring like you
>With people I always feel like I care less about where I go when I go with people, I just want to enjoy their company before the reaper comes for me or them>SoloCan deeply explore places I have a niche interest in, way more likely to end up doing crazy shit with locals, can also go days on end hardly saying a word to anybody but still having the time of my life and allow myself to live in the present and get out of my normal routine. Solo travel either is super meditative OR super social with locals. I find it's easier to interact with locals when solo but if I go weeks hardly talking to anybody I enjoy that too
>>2876647To actually go experience shit and see things. Growing up I never went anywhere. Literally anywhere at all. I cam up in a suburban house where the parents idea of vacation was a week off where they just watched tv. Summer was just more months of tv and video games, but never seeing a fucking thing. No vacations at all, we never traveled to any place. We were not poor, but parents were a kind of lazy only really seen in comedies. They never put effort into doing anything or going anywhere. Their highest ambition was watch tv. We only traveled to go to a funeral for family members so by 18 I realized I have only been to 2 states, and that's just three cities in 2 states and I have never seen family members when they are not grieving and crying. They were basically strangers. I went to my first beach, mountain, and theme park at age 19. I want more of that shit.
I have booked a trip to the UK where I intend to go hiking in the Lake District and Snowdonia. My itinerary is as follows:>day 1: arrive in Manchester, go to Lake District and hike Helvellyn>day 2: hike Scafell Pike>day 3: day trip to the Isle of Man from Liverpool airport, go to Wales in the evening>day 4: hike Snowdon>day 5: depart from Manchester in the evening, not sure if I should spend the day hiking more or exploring the cityObviously the easiest way to get around is by car. Just at a glance, public transport to these places is possible, but only at weird hours and it takes twice or three times as long as just driving there. If I'm wrong here, please enlighten me. Now, I've had my driver's license for five years and I'd say I'm a good driver. I've driven abroad in a rental car twice without problems. However, I've never driven in a country with left hand traffic. This trip involves a fair bit of driving, and I'm obviously a bit apprehensive about renting a car and setting off on the wrong side of the road in a country with over 40 million drivers (by far the most populated country I will have ever driven in).Does anyone have experience with renting a car and driving in a country that drives on the opposite side that you're used to? How was it?
Actually I think non-brits are better drivers while in Britain because we're so nervous about doing the wrong thing we pay 3x more attention at any given moment. It's great if you have a wingman in the passenger seat who can shout at you if needed. That being said, you'll get used to it pretty quick, it's like in a video game where the controls are reversed, your brain "resets" and then you're fine. I do recommend watching some videos on roundabout etiquette. >Narrow, twisty roadsLake District and Wales have the narrowest country roads I've seen in my life. When another car approaches you just...figure it out, and hopefully neither of you was speeding (though if the other guy is local he probably was). I rented a bigass SUV last time and boy was that a mistake.
The main thing you will struggle with is gauging the distance between your "passenger side" and the kerb. You will probably be hitting the kerb a lot if you aren't careful. Also roundabouts. Some smaller roundabouts in the UK don't have a separator island with a blue arrow clearly indicating which side you need to be on so it's an easy mistake to try and circle it anti clockwise. That's not a problem in the bigger roundabouts though because they have the islands and massive black and white chevrons indicating the direction of traffic. I don't know what country you're from or which countries you've visited, but one thing to keep in mind is British roads are old. Even by European standards because most European countries went through large road redesign and rebuilding projects in the 60s and 70s. NIMBYism won in the UK and cars got faster, so you there's roads with very high speed limits but still following the same gradients, angles and cambers of when they were built for horses. And this isn't a feature of country roads only. There are major routes thousands of people use to commute every day where large vehicles still have to negotiate when passing each other. Having said that British drivers are generally polite and patient. They are used to stopping every 200m if they're stuck behind a bus and there's not enough room to overtake, so instances of road rage are relatively low compared to most other countries. If you want to let everyone know you're anxious, you can search for a green "P" sign, I think they're called new drivers sign, and they're used by drivers who recently passed their driving test to indicate they're inexperienced lol. You can put one of those on your car regardless of how long you held your license for and it might let other drivers know to be extra patient around you.
>>2876154>>2876258>>2876282>>2876322Thanks for the answers guys, I appreciate you trying to calm my nerves. Just focus and I'll be fine. Looking at a map it seems I'll be able to get around on major roads and avoid the dirt tracks altogether, which helps a lot. >roundaboutsIf I get to a double mini roundabout I'll straight up turn on my hazards and just inch through it lol. Those things fucking scare me.>I don't know what country you're from or which countries you've visitedI'm from Norway and have driven here and in Sweden and Denmark with my own car as well as in Portugal and Latvia with a rental. Roads here can be single-lane with passing places every few hundred meters, so at least I'm familiar with the concept. >Having said that British drivers are generally polite and patient.That's comforting to hear. Better than here then lol. I've ordered one of those green P plates on Temu and fingers crossed it'll arrive before I leave. Do people really respect it? If you drive with a red L here people just become more impatient around you.
>>2876541If you want to be extra reassured, the UK driving test is one of the hardest in the world... so people are usually more understanding and polite when driving with drivers that might not be as well-versed like learners with L or P plates. Mini roundabouts are easy, just make sure no-one is approaching from the right.
>>2876874Thanks mate, and thanks everyone ITT for reassuring me. If this thread is still up in two weeks time I'll update everyone on how it went.
What are the pros and cons of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth?
I'm from Sydney so this is my take on things. Have lived in Brisbane and have visited Melbourne a number of times. Never been to Perth so can't comment much.Sydney:pros: nice climate, great beaches, great Asian food. good public transport for the most partcons: housing is expensive as fuck, hustle culture, hard to break in and make friends, alienating.Melbournepros: great cultural scene which is very accessible. easy to just walk around and find cool shit happening. food is good. generally a cool vibe to the city. public transport is great in the inner suburbs but gets patchy when you go further out.cons: gets fucking cold. "4seasonsinaday", no good beaches.Brisbanepros: laid back vibe, cheaper housing, pretty livable, easy to get around mostly, weather is beautiful in winter months.cons: boring (imo), too hot for like 9 months of the year (imo), more bogans.PerthComment too long.

Any of you guys been to the really bad African countries? Like Sudan, DRC, Somalia, Chad, CAR, etc? How bad is it actually? Could a white guy realistically visit there without severe risk?
>>2867859>CAR is utterly lawlessI just looked into CAR a bit. Its truly crazy how they live there. Its so much different than life in the civilized world. I cant even imagine what life is like there. Life in europe has a lot of cons but i would never trade it for something like that. Its truly crazy how resource rich that country is but is one of the poorest in the world. The stupidity of a black man is astounding. For all those centuries they arent able to do something good for themselves as a whole group. Thinking only short term, and only in terms of violence. Its easy to blame corporations for exploiting them and i do blame them but they are also to blame for letting themselves to be exploited. If they cared about eachother and if they stopped to think for just a second they would be able to do some good for themselves. They dont seem to be able to organize themselves. They would sell their mom for a pack of cigs. They have no loyalty, no intelligence, no integrity, no skills and no ethics.Truly crazy continent

Lads I booked a flight to cuba this sunday, recommendations on things to do and what is the state of affairs at the moment. Was a fairly impulsive decision but I've always wanted to see it. Thoughts

What's worth visiting in Ireland? I want to see some old Irish castles and visit the Tullamore Dew distillery. Any other recommendations?
>>2873843I'm Irish, I'd recommend going to Kilkenny if you like castles or anything, you can get some nice lunch and sit in the park then get a tour inside.You can get the train from tullamore but it requires a change and it's pretty bad public transport desu.
>>2873843Glendalough is nice, though it isn't specially impressive either. I liked Dublin in general.
>>2873878>The highlight of Ireland is the peopleWhere is the best spot to look at people in Ireland?
>>2873843Old castles and some 19th century pubs are about it really. One of the shittier parts about being a farming colony for the better part of 900 years is that you don't have a lot of social development or monumental structures.

Is it worth it to take a job as a ramp agent in a major (capital) city just for the sake of traveling (free flights)?
>>2876351>Dresshow you dress matters for employee benefits?
>>2876357Airlines set their own dress rules for their guests in free travel. Business casual is the minimum. You can be denied boarding for not wearing open toed shoes on some carriers and its an absolute rookie mistake to not check the dresscode.
>>2876545>dresscode>for a flightthats insane, but good to know
>>2876208My dependants and I have traveled in anything from fist class to galley jumpseats, from cockpit to a middle seat in the last row.It really depends on the airline you're working for, the airline you plan to fly and more importantly the route and timing.As >>2876351 already said, some airlines will sell and give away upgrades to regular passengers but there are others it's easy to fly business class even in longhaul.>>2876555It sounds insane at first but it's to prevent airlines from getting complaints about passengers who paid thousands about being stuck on a longhaul next to a sweaty baggage handler in hig vis workwear straight off his shift in the blazing sun.

Does this mean the unwashed masses will be priced out of traveling?

Is marrakech worth a visit or are there better options in morocco? Suggestions?
>>2876839Mauritania
>>2876846Cheaper to get there from Morocco than fly?
>>2876985It's cheap but it's roughly a 36-hour bus ride from Marrakech. Much better to hitchhike. But once you're there you can rent a guide with camels for 20 euro/day (if you haggle hard) and go anywhere you want. i did 7 days but someone told me about some Russian tourists who had been going with their camels for 3 weeks and were still out there.
>>2876839The choisces if you want to see sand dunes are Merzouga (smaller and cheaper) and M'hamid (big and harder to get to). Whichever one you go to, barter hard for everything. Argue the price for your hotel, for your taxi, for your guide especially. Expect the food to be lousy.Technically everything to the east of the atlas mountains is Sahara. You'll probably have a better time hiking in the Jebel Saghro ("the thirsty mountains") or chilling in one of the many oases near Tafraoute. Look at the sahara on google earth. Most of it is not sand, but canyons, peaks, and gravel.
>>2876990Dunes would be cool but I'd love some gravel and canyon expanses all the same. Thanks for the advice. >>2876986When you say 'get there' where is 'there' in the country? Camels sound sick. How far do they travel a day?
