Nonetheless, there might be some streets in Copenhagen where drug usage and other illicit activities occur that will definitely feel unsafe after dark. In general, you can walk through any place once, no matter how sketchy it feels, if you mind your own business and walk with purpose. Of course, none of us want to go to an ultra-expensive city and see lowlife street trash loitering around up to no good, but what can you do? Cuck out like the locals do; ignore them, avoid them and let them do their thing.

Look, I appreciate what you have to say, and when I see a thread from someone genuinely interested about an European country, I can share my knowledge about what there is to do, to see, to eat there, etc. But when I see a low-effort thread like this, I just want to comfort the person in their own ideas, be a sarcastic cunt and tell them it's not worth it.
What do I have to gain to convince OP Europe is a nice place to visit? Absolutely nothing. It would be a waste of time.
As an European, most of my travels have happened within Europe, and I already have to compete with a ton of other tourists when I want cheap accomodation and so on. We don't need more tourists, let them go to Japan, I'm completely fine with that, there is already trillions of tourists waiting in line.

>>2859069
Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the exotically complex flavors of Asian food in the same way that I can appreciate the bustling streets, the torrid heat, the strange mannerisms and the incomprehensible chatter of tropical Asia. It's all very stimulating to the mind.

Nonetheless, waking up in Warsaw Poland and smearing some mushroom camembert cheese on a freshly baked multi-grain bun still warm from the oven somehow mogged all of the flavormaxxed Asian food I've ever eaten in terms of sheer delectability for my European palate.
>>2859240
Europe is developed and predictable. The climate is mild. There's not much of a challenge to exploring the continent. So yeah, you tend to get bored after a while, because European culture is very understated. Particularly in the northern countries, where public behavior is very cold and inexpressive. Hardly anybody reacts to your presence. Everything is so well-kept that it fades into the background. Very little grabs your attention.
>>2859476
Europe is undeniably superior in terms of human development. You can see the signs of masterful skilled labor everywhere you look in Europe. Not a single detail left out. Despite the harshness of the Polish winters, you'll never encounter a single loose brick on their walkways, because the moment one is noticed, it is repaired. Asia is still a developing continent with low pay and lousy regulations, so everywhere you look here, you see sloppy work, neglected upkeep, unfinished & incomplete projects, aesthetic clashes, governmental incompetence, and a general "not my problem" attitude that ensures certain problems persist.

The biggest reason not to visit Europe, if we're being honest. Visitors are simply not appreciated in most of the continent. Even countries like Albania, once barely visited and extremely hospitable, are become overburdened with tourists.

The fuck up went down like this: the Border Patrol got a new toy with no training. That matters a lot when you're dealing with 20 kW (only need 5 mW to cause permanent eye damage). Decided to use it without communicating with all the stakeholders including the FFA. The head of the FAA is pissed--he shuts down the airspace because ain't no way their going to responsible for a loss of life/air vehicle. That impacts a hugh number of flights across the country, because delays and rerouting. Local commerce is impacted, etc.. Word gets back to White House and the DOD. They panic making up bullshit about cartels, drones, and maybe Obama is going to run for a third term. As it were the brave folks shot down a party balloon(s). Once the White House/DoD started lying, the FAA reopened the air space, because they knew that no one would believe the White House or Hegseth and the FAAlook like the prudent heros that they were

Serbia is dirt cheap compared to Western Europe. Serbia is significantly more affordable than France or the UK, with the cost of living estimated to be roughly 50% to over 80% lower depending on the city, making it a budget-friendly destination. It offers low-cost, high-quality food, accommodation, and entertainment.

>>2863154

>>2863067
>Not one girl wanted to have sex for free
So? What did you expect?
Protip: Women in Serbia are somewhat traditional. Traditional means they won't suck the dick of a random Western tourist. They want to marry a Serb man or at the very least someone who can speak Serbo-Croat fluently. They want to be pursued by a chivalrous man who will offer them gifts and make them feel loved. They don't want a one-night stand, they want to start a family with someone who understand and share their culture and values.
Also consider that while Serbian women are perhaps some of the most beautiful women I've seen in my life, you are competing with tall as fuck Serbian gigachads too. They can absolutely be picky if they want so.
There are Russian girls who have more liberal values in Belgrade, but they all came there with their boyfriends. Serbia isn't a country to visit to get laid.

>nothing is cheap here
It's not as cheap as let's say Asia, but it's definitely cheaper than Western Europe. A delicious meal at a restaurant costs 8-10€ while in France it's closer to 25€, and Serbian cuisine is really good. Alcohol and accomodation can also be relatively cheap.

Serbia is a quite peculiar country for me, talking to people there about politics and world events is really interesting as long as you are respectful of their opinions, because they think really differently than in the West.
Serbs are tough and frown a lot but once they start partying or take a liking of you, they are very welcoming and friendly.
Maybe I visited at a rather unique moment because protests were happening and everyone was a bit on edge, but I have fond memories of Belgrade and wouldn't mind going back.
To enjoy Serbia you need know a bit what you are getting into. If you want to be seen as the exotic rich white man, this is not the country for you, this is not Thailand or the Philippines.

>>2863218

Korean nationalists are the funniest people online. Your country has no history so you just make up shit. The only cultural invention Korea has is endless crying online. They pioneered that.

But yes, America and Japan gave shitloads of money to prop up South Korea after the war.

If you think Florida is a shithole, you're gonna be appalled by Mexicali. It is a polluted, industrial desert dump of a city with nothing in the way of natural appeal, but it does have lots of doctors, cheap bars, and fat sassy whores. It gets extremely hot in summer. I'm talking 45 C every day. There's not really any thugs or gangbanger types in Mexicali.

Tecate is somewhat more soulful than Mexicali. It also has no equivalent on the US side, which is kinda neat. Ensenada has some great nature nearby, but it is also a polluted shithole full of criminals. Overall, northern Baja is awful, and it's not even cheap either (though Mexicali is the cheapest city there). And no, San Diego isn't a two hour drive away. It takes two fucking hours just to cross the border into the USA. I was so disgusted by the shitty people and high cost of Baja in March 2023 that I swore off Mexico altogether and set my sights on Asia.

The smaller towns down the Baja peninsula aren't cheap either, but at least they're pretty(ish) and set in a fascinating natural landscape. You need to get your FMM and car insurance to drive across the border, so you might as well keep going south.

>>2862231
>How does Mexicali fare?
>Crime is very low
lol it's unreported but petty crime, scams, robberies, etc are all over.
>I've read the rent is very low (a few hundred dollars)
Yes because wages are stupid low

Why does no one on /trv/ understand the cost of living is relative to the income earned for most places

>>2862231
I have a friend who did a 9 month gig in Mexicali at the RCA/Thompson tv tube manufacturing plant back around 1998. He said the locals would break equipment and strip screws and laugh about it, then quit and walk down the street to something which paid 5 cents an hour more. Mexicali is a downgrade.

>>2862231
>Is there any cartel there
Every border town has that. The question you should be asking is "is a rival cartel currently trying to conquer the territory?"

That's when things can get dangerous and you risk catching a stray bullet, or having one of the cartels shooting you because they assume you belong to the rivals

Mexico has a higher GDP per capita than China, and the border states are significantly richer than the national average. Minimum wage in the northern border states is now 440 pesos per day. What this means is that a budget shithole hotel room now costs 450 pesos ($26). You won't even get a window, a desk or 24/7 hot water at that rate. I repeat. Mexican border cities are awful. Ugly, unsafe and overpriced. A goddamn egg breakfast with coffee will set you back 120 pesos ($7 USD). You'd be much, much better off going somewhere in the Mexican interior if you are dead set on escaping to Mexico. Street crime is much lower (though driving between cities is still stressful due to horrible roads and corrupt police). The centros historicos are fucking beautiful. Gorgeous natural areas for daytrips, warm dry sunshine and boutique lodging/dining options are plentiful.

My first foreign adventure was a series of roadtrips into Mexico starting at age 22. It really built up my self-confidence and ability to handle difficult situations. The first five years of adulthood were a complete pussy desert thanks to my pathological insecurity & awkwardness, but driving in Mexico changed all that. Women started showing interest in me, even though they called me an asshole behind my back (and sometimes to my face, kek).

>>2865898
I've never been to Shirahama in Wakayama (though I did pass through Shirahama in Chiba by bike). And you know, Wakayama and Chiba also share another place name: Katsuura.
Now, regarding Katsuura in Chiba, it's a pinpoint summer retreat in southern Kanto where temperatures have never exceeded 35 degrees Celsius since official records began over 100 years ago. There are many beaches; Moriya is famous and crowded, but Uhara is relatively quiet. Staying at a minshuku right in front of the beach or renting a cottage would let you enjoy a wonderful beach life.

Forgot my /druk/ story.
I once while partying in Thailand was dancing on the table with a Britbro and some Dutch and British women. Ended up becoming too crowded and in my blacked out Chang coordinated mind fell off the table straight onto the DJ setup. Felt totally fine, instantly got up and had some Thai fags yelling at me. Music stops for whole club of 2-300 people as I fucking destroyed the setup entirely. I immediately book it and go into another club on Khaosan and finish the night making out with English redheaded woman. Don't remember anything after that, but I wokeup with bruises, cuts, a massive Changover, and had the worst tinnitus I ever have had. I genuinely thought I was going to die. You could've yelled at me and I wouldn't have been able to hear you from 10 feet away because the ringing was like a jet engine. Never will go that hard again. but Thailand is how I learned my personal limit.

Was this about a 20 minute walk south of ximen where the old people dance at night? That was a very odd place. There were patches of old women dancing at 11pm at night and somehow their music didn't collide. I watched some dancing to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. Those aunties have such a particular style of moving.

Saw another foreigner there. He was probably 5'5" and ignored me despite being right next to each other. He took his backpack off and started kicking the wind, like doing the splits above his head kicking like a freak.

Mix in some homeless people that go totally ignore too. Really bizarre place.

>She got out of an abusive relationship with a woman

So you proceeded to be abusive to her after she was in an abusive relationship. Your oneitis or women in general aren't your cure for your problems or something to fill your meaningless void. You've got issues, find meaning in solving them internally rather than externally. And don't be hard on yourself.
