Where should I travel to spend Christmas and NYE alone? I'd prefer somewhere where normies won't notice me and I can just relax on a beach. Hawaii sounds nice but I was there once as a kid and it was full of homeless people.
>>2847366Would you know how to go about such a thing? What way to find rentals? What general area?
>>2847398Go wherever you want >where normies won't notice me That's literally everywhere. You're not that special. >I can just relax on a beach.Florida, or if you're too good for that, there are plenty of Caribbean islands to choose from. Just take your pick they're all the same.
>>2847407well, depends if you have the right vehicle for ityou will need winter/all terrain tires if you go to the snowy/higher elevation bits, but there's also southern appalachia, which should be less snowy (make sure to check the snow cover map)there's all sorts of micro-regions in appalachiajim thorpe is a cute (but crowded) tourist trap town in nepa which has a gorge you can hike in various waysyou will need "yak trax" or micro spikes for your shoes if you plan to see waterfalls or such there's also the famed ohiopyle falls of pa, the smokies for PURE normie stuff, the new river gorge, as well as other gorges such as red river of kentucky, or big south fork of tennesseeand you can just find things you like and go about trying to do hikes you find appealing or just sit in your cabin and have a fireairbnb has cheap listings, reputation and quality vary, there's always traditional cabin rentals, that costs more, then there's things like lodges such as blackwater falls - you get a great location but a dated motel vibe also recommend breaks interstate park and the adjacent pine mountain

I was recently laid off from a tech company where I had worked for seven years. I’m 32, currently without a job, and have approximately €52,500 in savings. At the moment, I don’t have a clear plan for my next career step.One idea I’m considering is becoming a content creator specifically a travel blogger who focuses on unique, non-mainstream destinations. I’m interested in visiting places that are less commonly explored, such as regions in southern Russia like Chechnya or Vladikavkaz, and potentially other areas that don’t typically attract large numbers of tourists. My thought is that this type of content could attract strong viewership due to its uniqueness. After that, I’d like to move on to other CIS countries.What are your thoughts on this direction?
>>2844809> My thought is that this type of content could attract strong viewership due to its uniquenessi agree. there's never been a guy who lost his job, had no money and decided to blog around russia and other 'supposed' off-track bits of the world. fuck, you're definately on to something.now before you start you might want to get your raping out of the way. also do you know any attractive Czech prostitutes? definately looking forward to watching you.

I’m thinking of moving to a metro area someplace between DC and Boston, inclusive. Any advice?I’m kinda introverted, like access to interesting talks on policy/tech/philosophy, like to be able to spend weekends outdoors, like high quality food/dining experiences. I’m looking for a wife too. I’m really an independent or classical liberal but most people thought I was super conservative when I lived near an extremely left wing place several years ago. I want to be able to discuss policy and politics with open minded people who don’t think I’m Hitler or Pinochet because I agree with deporting illegals. Help me out? Any advice? I’m open to pretty much anything near the east coast but DC-Boston area seems best.

>>2848026>>2848026> you are judging people collectively without individual merit while expecting to be judged yourself as an individual it seems your standards are perhaps too high,To a certain degree, this is true. But that's because I've acquired considerable experience in the dating markets of these cities. It's not that my standards are too high so much as they don't live up to their own standards and unwarranted expectations of me. Admittedly, I've had better luck with Koreans, Indians, and Arabs, but cultural differences tend to cut any budding relationships short. At least they end on a much more honest note.>maybe try being a bit lower key and less forceful with your denunciations, or try dating men instead if you hate women so much I would if I could, but I don't swing that way. >also what about asheville and finding an outdoorsy chick?

I use OsmAnd offline map app. It has most trails, but not all.
>>2848057Osmand is based. Make sure you download from FDroid to get the free premium version.
it's kinda a racket cuz they are the only game in town (yes I know there's other apps but they are much harder to use)but, in my experience, the actual app works okother than deeply annoying shit like them removing the ability for you to load exact locations of other people's previously taken photos in the app and to load the photos itself so you could see where the best views were and line yourself up with that location in confusing placesthey really need a better system of being able to click on a map and clearly see exactly where the best views are and what they look like, now you basically have to plan that in advance and pre-screen trails and photos to see where you want to go and if it's worth itAND more damagingly, they removed the "community content" feature so now you can search by individual users but there's no way to do a map-view search anymore where you can see all the user-submitted trail recordings in a given area (plus photos) so you could find lesser hidden gem trails beyond the alltrails curated ones

>>2844456I don't speak Japanese but I'll be in Japan in February and can show you around. I would do it free of charge too. I have a few friends in Japan as well that are very eager to see me again I'm sure they wouldn't mind a plus 1. I'm an American and I'm studying a bit of Japanese.

Any countries that would let a tourist get their national driver's license in a short time like 2 weeks?For a car. From zero. With a tourist visa/stamp.No, I can't use my own license or IDP cuz I don't and can't have it.I heard tourists in Thailand can get it pretty easily with only 2 days of driving school and a quick test. Any alternatives?
>>2846515Philippines? They're pretty corrupt
>>2846515Thailand doesn't let tourist takes driving tests. You need a non-o visa or LTR.
>>2846515I'm not sure there's any country on Earth than let's you take a theory/driving test as a tourist...
There's countries where no one cares if you drive a motorbike, just pay a small bribe if you get caught, which personally I never have.

>>2847456In the late 1950s, a Japanese company called Matsuo Entertainment approached Walt Disney with the idea of building a Disney-style park in Japan.Walt initially liked the concept and even agreed in principle to a park in Nara, Japan’s old capital. However, they kept cutting corners which soured Walt from believing Japan could uphold American culture and standards.Nara Dreamland illustrates why Walt Disney was hesitant to license Disney abroad, especially in Japan:Matsuo’s attempt confirmed Walt’s fears about quality control, licensing disputes, and substandard execution.It also shows how OLC learned from Nara Dreamland, building Tokyo Disney Resort with extreme attention to quality, operations, and fidelity to Disney’s vision — which ultimately made Tokyo Disney Resort a worldwide success.Ironically, liberals began to ruin Disneyland's American heritage while Japan preserved it and improved upon the original Walt vision.

Anyone ever quit their job to travel for an extended period of time? Should I? Or is it too late for me at 26? My current job is bullshit, low paying, idk what my future is, and I kinda just wanna die. I do get PTO, but it's only enough for like, 2 week long trips a year. It's just not enough time to see all the places I want to. I have massive FOMO and am jealous of all the 20 year olds who traveled the whole world in between college semesters. I want to catch up, but I fear it'll be hard to recover if I do now. What are your thoughts on quitting a job to travel? Also what do you think the budget would be for like, 4-6 months of full time travel be? I have 55K USD in savings
>>2833377i quit my job and backpacked latam until covid ruined my trip. i spent six months and was going full blast like i was hunter biden and i cost only a couple thousand a month. i stayed in $4 & $5 hostels and ate street food or cooked at the hostel. all the day trips to the mayan ruins or volcanoes or surf lessons were like $20. liters of beer were $1 so i got buy on $50 or so a day. i would say do it, i dont regret it one bit. the world is a crazy place outside of the US. you have never seen poverty if you have never left the US.
>>2842884corrogated iron roofs and plastic chairs aren't poverty though, it's the default setting.Africa is the only place with actual poverty, where there's little kids with flies swarming them, sniffing glue, etc. There's no poverty on the Americas, the land is just too rich.
>>2833377I got laid off 1 month into a 6 month Buenos Aires trip and had the best time of my lifeCurrently living with my dad trying to sort my shit out and get another remote jobDecide if you’re willing to trade a year of pain for 6 months of blissPersonally I have no regrets but that’s because I get along great with my dad
I plan to do that in a few months. My job is pissing me off so I plan to quit either way, and I saved a lot of money. Depending on what happens next, if everything is fine I'll get some rest for a few months, go to Australia for a year on a working holiday visa, and then I'll visit Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam, mostly for the food. I'll go back to my parents' place after that and will look for a better job in a better company.
>>2845193Doesn't matter how rich the land is if it's all owned by a handful of ultra-rich families like in Colombia. I saw Africa-tier poverty in the mangrove swamp shanties of Tumaco. The kids were all Afro-Colombian too. Poverty is no chairs BTW. Plastic chairs are Third World luxury.
I've read all the stories and seen all the vids about this place but I just didn't listen. I thought I'd be prepared since I've been to other notoriously shitty countries to travel like Egypt and Morocco but this place is just next level in terms of the dirt, the garbage, the pollution, the poverty, the incessant and aggressive touts and attempts at begging and scamming, the sensory overload, the unbelievably dense crowds of cars and people, and of course the honking...Jesus Christ the honking is not a meme at all. My plan was to spend a month travelling through India/Nepal starting out in Kathmandu (which is basically India in terms of insanity imho) and I'm supposed to be 12 more days here but I think I might just cut my losses and leave a little earlier. I'm currently sitting in my hotel room in Jaipur and don't plan to do anything today besides getting food because I'm trying to recover from a shitty ass cold I picked up probably due to this countries abysmal public health standards (or lack thereof).Granted it hasn't been all bad by any means. I still wouldn't say its my least favorite country I've been to but I just don't know how much more of this place I can take.
>>2847331Damn what were you doing there for that long? Just traveling? Work? Family?
Indian restaurant meals aren't as cheap as you might expect. For a decent meal (suitable for middle-class diners) I pay upwards of Rs 300. The nice places always charge extra for rice and chapati, while the economy sit-down places serve set meals which include two chapati and a half serving of rice with the entree. The working-class places serve samosa and other foods to go, with people usually eating while standing up. Most people in India can't afford to dine out, so restaurants are rarely crowded. At the cheaper places you're liable to get reheated chapati covered in black burned crumbs, instead of fresh-made chapati cooked on a clean griddle. They hardly ever clean the tables either. Meat/paneer portions are very small, even at the higher-priced places with clean comfortable dining rooms. 95% of what you are eating is sauce, chapati and rice. Despite the markets being full of all sorts of fresh veggies, you hardly ever get served a sizable portion of veggies with your meal. Maybe you have to order them separately. The fruit selection everywhere in Marashtra is excellent and very affordable, with most fruits costing Rs 100 per kilo (barely more than $1).Overall, India has been nowhere near as bad as the doomposters made it out to be. Just got settled into a nice quiet room with balcony in a newly built hotel for $9/night. Tucked away at the end of an unpaved alley in a railway village, the last place you'd expect a nice hotel to be. Some people even left reviews claiming the hotel didn't exist, kek. They were too chickenshit to venture down the alley. Most hotels here fumigate their rooms, so dirty as they are, you hardly ever see roaches or ants inside. Unlike Southeast Asians, none of the Indian lower classes have an aversion to sunshine. They go about bareheaded in the sun without a care. The few ballcaps you see on people's heads here are hideously unfashionable. Sucks I left mine behind on the plane. BTW white Indians are rare, but they do exist.
"Chinese" restaurants are common here. They serve chicken, egg or paneer (tofu) fried rice or noodles with various combinations of veggies or sauces. You can pay anything from $0.80 USD for a half serving of the base fare to $2 USD for the fanciest options. Usually they are run by unkempt young men who lack manners, and have filthy floors swarming with flies. But everything is cooked up in a wok, so you don't have to worry about bacterial contamination unless you drink some of the sugarcane juice (from stalks which have been sampled by roughly 1000 flies before they are squeezed for you). Every such machine has bells tied to the axle, which ring rhythmically all day during business hours. I also like how the Hindu women have little bells around their ankles that jingle when they walk. India is a very different place when you are vlogging. You are a star and everyone wants to interact with you, so they can watch themselves on YouTube with their friends afterwards and brag about it. Walking around without the camera, you're just another surplus young adult male on the street, valued no more than anyone else.
Matheran was quiet and beautiful far beyond expectations - a place where forests grow thick and petrol vehicles are completely banned - but goddamn was it a challenge to find a room there. Not only do most hotels not accept foreigners, but they also won't accept single guests because they think solo travelers are all suicidal and going to jump off a cliff. After finding only one hotel that would accept me at Rs 4500 per room (about $50), I gave up and left the hill station behind. The mountain-climbing railway is hella cool; during monsoon season it would be spectacular, as it passes by dozens of waterfalls which are currently dry. There are dozens of kilometers of trails leading to overlooks all around the rim of the mountaintop. On a weekday I had many of them all to myself. Natural seclusion in India? Yes. This country has a lot more to offer than most foreigners realize.
>>2847621>Indian restaurant meals aren't as cheap as you might expect. For a decent meal (suitable for middle-class diners) I pay upwards of Rs 300Dude that's still less than $5 usd. What were you expecting to pay before you got there?

People hawk them on Instagram tho.>>2847569Those head shop shrooms aren't psilocybin. They are mystery edibles with who knows what chemicals added to them. The trippy ones are usually laced with 4-AcO-DMT, which is a quasi-legal research chemical with extremely potent effects. However, numerous poisonings and even deaths associated with such edibles has resulted in product recalls. The respectable places won't sell them.>>2843217I recommend visiting the mountains in mid-summer. The afternoon thunderstorms are amazing, and the mornings are so energizingly brisk. Yeah there are plenty of crowds, but if you go far enough from the cities you can be all alone in the wilderness.

I don't even like travelling. I think it's stressful and I get over-stimulated and anxious and I'm scared there'll be racism or I'll get food poisoning or whatever. I experienced none of this in Greece.I did, however, see the Parthenon without scaffolding. I cried at the Dionysos theatre. Got lost on my way to the Agora, and then ran excitedly hand in hand with my friend squealing as we neared the Hephaistos Temple.I travelled with a group of other classics enthusiasts, my Ancient Greek professor being our academic guide. We visited the incredible site of Delphi, and my heart exploded. We saw a giant rainbow at Mycenae. I ran the whole lenght of the stadium at Olympia (and regretted it). Walked the 999 steps up to the fort at Nafplio. Visited the National Museum; how I sobbed while looking at the grave stelae!Our final day, we visited Cape Sounion and stood at the foot of the hill where the Poseidon Temple was bathing in sunlight, my professor reading out loud a poem by Hjalmar Gullberg - a poem written about that particular temple.I don't know if I like travelling now, or if I just love Greece. Coming home hit me hard, like an actual heartbreak. I cried for days, feeling a hole in my heart like I was yearning for a lost lover. Idk. Luckily, Greece isn't lost and I'm definitely coming back.It's so strange, realizing - it's all real. Having studied ancient literature, Ancient Greek, ancient philosophy and art history... And it's all real, not just textbooks and pictures. Idk man, Greece really changed me. My heart is so full.
