I have a totally autistic question guys!!!
If I lose my US visa waiver from visiting a shithole like Iran, and then get an israeli citizenship (I'm a halfkike), can I get back my visa waiver???

>>2655358
No, because the conditions for the visa waiver are tied to the person, not the passport.

Will be staying in Germany for a week and want to go somewhere new for a minimum of 2 nights.

Prague or Gdansk?

>>2655373
Gdansk.

Prague is overcrowded and done. Gdansk is kino in summer. Cycle the Hel Peninsula and get a ferry back for a unique experience. Also lots of historical stuff re: communism and WW2.

>>2655392
Prague may be tourist disneyland, but it's still Prague. It's like comparing Amsterdam and Ghent. Amsterdam has a lot of issues, but it's still a city worth visiting at least once.

>>2655405
If it was winter, I'd easily say Prague. In summer, however, Gdansk just has more diverse set of things to offer. i.e.:
>beaches
>Hel Peninsula cycle journey
>Westerplatte open air museum
>3 well-connected cities in one to explore
>Malbork castle day trip
>Caneoing in canals

It all depends what OP is doing in Germany, too. If he's jumping from city to city, then would Prague really offer anything THAT unique?

Best medical tourism country? I am in SEA so I was looking at India, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand. What would be some major pros and cons of any of these? Price and care quality are most important of course. I wouldn’t think India would be great but it is spoken of really highly online when searching this topic.

>>2655392
>>2655408
Hey anon, thanks for the Gdansk suggestion. Just for context, I'll be in Germany for business but I have 3 off days which I can spend going to a country I haven't been.

Malbork is already on my plans but not Hel Peninsula. Looks kino but how would you go about it? Are the beaches in Hel the best or are there better ones around Gdansk?

You'd get public transport to Wladyslowowo (base of peninsula). When you're there there's a company called Ottobike who you can rent a bike from and then drop off in Hel (end of peninsula). Route is 40km, should take like 2 hours, and gives you freedom to stop off anywhere on the way. Think it's 50pln for a day's rental.

The peninsula is just 1 big beautiful beach like picrel. Definitely nicer than the main cities (though obviously less people here).

If you don't like biking, there's a single track railway going up there, but that robs you of the freedom to stop wherever you please.

From Hel you then get the ferry back to Gdansk, which is a nice journey taking you past the famous shipyards, etc. Make sure you check this time, or you'll be kinda stranded and will need to sleep the night there.

>>2655492

Strange question for 4chan, but /trv/ seems sort-of socially adjusted.
What are the most significant changes in travelling once you become a parent? Besides having to keep kid-friendly activities in the program, of course. Parentanons, did becoming a parent enhance the travel experience or did you feel better off when you could decide exactly what you wanted to do and when?

Hey bros, I need to get from Paris to Pamplona on the 6th of Jan. I've got a few options but I don't know what to choose.
>5 and a half hour expensive train ride from Paris to San Sebastian getting off at Hendaya/Hendaia to switch trains. Then catching an hour and a half bus from San Sebastian to Pamplona to get into Pamplona late afternoon/evening where I can check into my hotel
>12 hour bus with Flixbus/Alsa/BlaBlaBus that would get me into Pamplona the morning of the 6th, losing me a morning in Paris and forcing me to wait until 3pm to check into my hotel in Pamplona
>Flight to Biarritz then a bus to San Sebastian and another bus to Pamplona which is the fastest but also the most annoying route as flights are unruly and a pain in the ass and I'd get in late at night on the 6th
I'm leaning more on the overnight bus even though I hate sleeping on buses. At least if I arrive in the morning I'd be able to dump my shit at the hotel and see the official start of San Fermin at noon.
Anyone done this route? What would you choose?

>>2660255
Depends on the country honestly

>>2660255
Also depends on your skills. It's entirely possible to not speak a word of the local language and communicate well enough. Remember that speech is actually a small part of human communication. I recommend learning the basics and then whipping your dick out, putting it on the table and letting them handle you. They want your money, they'll figure out what you'll be babbling about

Anyone here been to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan?
Looking to go to in June, 11th to 30th. Aiming for 2 days in Tashkent, 3 days in Samarkan, 2 days in Bukhara and 2 in Khiva. Then fly out to Almaty and the surroundings for the remainder of the trip.
Good idea to go there in june?

ive never travelled before and wanna visit thailand. how do you guys plan destination a -> destination b -> destination c with all transfers and stuff?

most websites like tui offer flight -> transfer -> destination a -> transfer -> flight back

yes im retarded

>>2661980
Just settle down in one place young man, don't follow others. You've never travelled, you're not going run out of sights and experiences in the region you're in

>>2661292
That looks like a good itinerary, make sure to take the train between the four cities in Uzbekistan, the fast ones sell out quickly.
Since there are no direct flights between Urgench (closest airport to Khiva) and Almaty, you might want to invert the itinerary like this: Tashkent - overnight train - Khiva - Bukhara - Samarkand - fly to Almaty.
Summer will be warm/hot but it will be dry heat, so entirely manageable by taking plenty of water.

Part meme, part genuine, will I get dirty looks if I fly into Frankfurt wearing lederhosen?

It's absolutely worth going to all three of Bukhara, Khiva and Samarkand, each has a completely different vibe while still being similar.

Going to the Royal Albert Hall in London for a gig but have never been before. Is it just like any other venue for a gig or is it more strict? It feels like the kind of place you would need to dress up a little for and I can imagine they don't let you bring drinks out to the standing section

There is no de-facto difference for European citizens. Even before you could go and come back with the same documents anywhere else in the Schengen area.

The Albert hall itself does not have a dress code. Certain promoters impose one but this is for classical concerts and that kind of thing. If you’re going to listen to Holst you dress better anyway.

Indoors must be AC or underground (cooler constant temps below ground).

Flying is hell as the airports are always 25C and I’m leaking sweat. I’m not even overweight and I’m leaving pools of sweat wherever I sit. Embarrassing. Same with rail and cars, need AC or I’m going to suffer.

I'm flying back home on a flight that leaves at 2:30 am, and at the nearest airport at 8:30 am and this bad boy has an connection in the middle. After that I'll have to catch the train and I'll likely be at home sometime around 1 pm. Meaning I'll have to be somewhat awake after 36ish hours.

Any tips on dealing with sleep deprivation? I have to be at the airport at 12 pm, meaning that I won't be able to catch some sleep before my first flight leaves.

Good places in USA for a remote worker to be based out of? Some of my research is suggesting Pittsburgh and Philly but the Pittsburgh weather is clearly terrible and Philly has pretty bad crime rates.

>Serbia and kosovo
So.. you're traveling to Serbia.

I have 2 weeks in early August and want to travel in Europe. What are some recommended destinations for a solo traveller?
I have been to:
>Denmark
>France
>Netherlands
>Hungary
>Turkey
>Austria
>Poland

>>2677549
>Denmark
Can be good if you're into /out/ and nature stuff and enjoy some island hopping and smaller towns/cities, the city part is kinda meh
>France
Nope, Olympics still going on + the aftermath will inflate prices a lot across the country
>Netherlands
Same as Denmark with better cities
>Hungary
If you plan to hit Budapest for 2-3 days and then head for the Balaton region this would be a great trip
>Turkey
Istanbul is usually hot as hell in August but you can have a great time at either coast
>Austria
Vienna is imo unmatched for a city trip and the alps are great if you enjoy some /out/ stuff
>Poland
Would get my vote if you would've said early September.

>tl;dr it's the school holiday high season, so pretty much any major city will feel kinda empty beside tourists and everyone who can heads for the countryside.

How do you deal with the fact time you spend traveling you don't spend with relatives and family and also doesn't financially improve you?

I was lucky to have a great childhood and love my family, old and young. I feel a sense of longing and sadness when away from them, which is compounded by the sense of dread that I am just losing and not making money.

PHILLY!!

Philly is my fucking darling of a city. I've lived there for 4 years and nothing bad has ever happened to me. Stay out of North Philadelphia and you'll be fine, and if you're in Center City just look around when you walk. Don't talk to homeless.

Best neighborhoods to live: Rittenhouse, Fairmount, and University City I guess.
Nightlife: Fishtown, South Street, Center City, Gayborhood

Pros: Great food, absolutely fantastic music scene, great people. Cheap rent. Cozy as fuck city.

Cons: DONT GO TO NORTH PHILLY. LEMME SAY THAT AGAIN. don't go west of 40th either.

What do you guys use to find where to stay?

Planning a trip to Toronto for me & my girlfriend and looking for a decent but relatively cheap place to stay. Three options I'm mainly looking at are a place on booking.com with a single review (gave a 10 but still kinda sketch, even though it looks great) and two on homestay.com
Not sure if the booking option is too much of a risk to take

>>2679339
>He just wants to see Brussels
As a Belgian, avoid Brussels. It used to be amazing but became a shithole the last 15 years, most Belgians avoid it as well.
Check out one of the coast cities (Oostende, Knokke, Den Haan), Antwerp, Kortrijk, Leuven, Luik, etc. instead
If you don't want to hit too many spots and just travel through, I would just hit a coast city, Bruges and Ghent. Spend more time in France instead of hitting Brussels

What site do you use to book flights after you've found what flight you want to go on? Does it even matter?
Is it worth the 20-30€ to book directly with the airport instead, even if it's a direct flight (so less chance for shit to go wrong)

How can hotels be so expensive in "cheap" countries?

For example: A night at Hilton Kalastajantorppa (Helsinki, Finland) would cost 106 € per night. At Hilton DoubleTree (Skopje, North Macedonia) a night would cost 89 €. At the same time, average monthly salary in Finland is 3 900 € and in North Macedonia 650 €.

I'd assume that this would somehow be seen in the price of I just want to stay at a Hilton without needing to sell a kidney god dammit!

>>2683219
Probably because Finland has a better tourism industry than North Macedonia, so there's more competition. That, or tourists generally expect to pay roughly the same price no matter where they go, so there isn't a lot of downwards pressure on hotel prices.

Superb (9+) hotels on booking.com in both places
There's clearly still a pretty big difference
hotel prices aren't really affected by local economy because they likely won't be used by people from that country

I'm planning on living abroad in Madrid for a year or so and i'll be doing this completely alone, I have no one nearby except a couple of friends in Netherlands and my girlfriend who will be living in Paris for a year in a couple of months (we're breaking up but thats another story). I guess I'm looking for someone who has lived something similar to share their experience, leaving everything behind to live in another country for a year and sort of just try to survive, anything would be appreciated.

Best website to find cheap accommodation in Japan? Booking.com?

I have a 14 hour layover in Copenhagen on a return trip from Rome in a month. Is there anything worth doing/seeing during that time? Caveat is that it’s 11pm to 1pm so would I just be better off finding a hostel and sleeping? Also any recs for hostels in Copenhagen?

>>2684617

If you can afford it, is it worth driving a rental car in Europe?

Some points to consider:
>many countries (at least western and central Europe) appear to be well-connected; looks like you can go almost anywhere with a bus, train, or tram
>parking looks pretty difficult in major cities
>lesser-known areas may not be as well-connected or have irregular train schedules

I truly ask out of ignorance. From my perspective, it seems like driving in Europe isn't really worth it unless you're in Iceland, the northern part of Norway/Sweden/Finland, or eastern Europe. How (in)accurate is this assessment?

>>2684803
It could very well be worth it if transit hubs are not on your itinerary and you'd only be going to major cities because the bus/train connects there.
The loading/unloading of luggage is a massive pain if you're not backpacking, the car gives you emergency accommodation and amenities, if you don't have a car then local travel in your destinations might be equally expensive.

Downsides: can be stressful, local driving conditions can been poor, navigation can be make or break, can be a headache at the border

>>2684629
eww, late checkin and accommodation for no reason, sleepless airport sit in, wander around copenhagen at night. not good options.

chances of entertainment not good either, but worth a check. You might find an event that's going overnight.

>>2684576
I upped and out a bunch of times. First problem is obviously accommodation because the rental market is probably really tight in Madrid, no landlord will want a foreign tourist unless you're paying peak prices the whole time which would be mad, hostels can be wary of long term occupants, and you could get thrown out of short term accommodation any time.

So I would book a hostel where you hit the ground for the week, try to meet some local students and move into a local share house. You will probably have more money than them, they will probably have done the leg work to find a place, if you're by yourself it's ideal. But you've got to have a secure fall back plan because you don't want to be homeless in a foreign country.
networking online will probably be important. Other options: live in housekeeper for another expat, join the fat foreigner enclve.

Second problem is work, because the local jobs market is also probably really tight and foreign workers aren't sought after in spain unless you're in a industry gap, you might be, but it's unlikely. I used to work in the hotels industry because they pay firstually nothing but provide accomodation. and they'd rather have a friendly foreigner than an empoverished local person. But be warned, that dynamic means there's insense hatred of foreign lifestyle workers. In spain at the moment the nationalist party is stoking xenophobia across the country and as a long term resident you're a sitting duck.So how would I put this...where you expect to find trouble, dont go looking.

A car would hedge your bets in many ways, you may struggle to find jobs without a car. Spains pulic transport network is very good but from what I hear often unafordable without concesions. they expected tourists to pay for everything

Bottom line is that to survive you should plan on getting onboard with someone. A local company, an expat community, a local communist orginization, a local farm, anywhere.

China Airlines CI62 from Frankfurt to Taipei is always a Boeing 777.
Now I booked my flight for December and the CA website shows me that it will be an A350-900.
Need airplane autists opinion on whether this is true or not.

>>2684803
You'd only want a car if you a.) need to move fast and can't wait around for buses b.) are planning to visit bumfuck nowhere areas on the regular and have to stop a lot, eg. a tour of wild beaches in Italy or WW1 cemeteries and battlefields in Belgium.
For the average tourist, they're a liability in any 100k+ city that will see you paying out the ass for parking and wasting hours in endless jams.

>>2684877
Changes in aircraft can happen at any time.
It could very likely be that they swapped the B777 for a A359 because they expect fewer passengers.

>>2684619
Grazie mille amico, I'll make sure to have a lunch there.

I've only flown direct in my life so far and I'll have a flight with transits soon. How is luggage handled for transfers?

>>2685174
If the entire journey from start to finish is booked under the same ticket, your luggage will arrive at your destination without you having to do anything.
That's how it is most of the time. There is a rare (not high, but not zero) chance that you might have to pick up your luggage at your transit location, but the flight attendant on your first flight will make that announcement prior to landing.

I've got a problem. I lost my passport, and then my birth certificate in a story entirely too long to put into text. I've since just gotten new copies of my birth certificate, but I don't think 3 and a half weeks is long enough for me to be able to get a new passport in time to enter Canada on the 9th of August. Nor do I think that I can get an enhanced drivers license in that time either. Is there anything I can do, or am I fucked?

5-6 days seems about right. You can spend one day at the coliseum and Forum, another in the Vatican. The other days can be varied depending on what you're interested in seeing (Classical ruins, religious sites, etc.)

>>2687088
If you depart from there it's okay I suppose beside having to deal with incompetence.

>What are the most significant changes in travelling once you become a parent? Besides having to keep kid-friendly activities in the program, of course.

That’s a big part of it, bigger than you might think. When they’re fairly small, your whole pace changes a lot. Not only do you have to do more stuff that might be appropriate for them/specifically for them, you probably have to do a lot less overall, at least for a while. You’ve also got a lot more luggage and more tickets to buy on planes and more beds/bedrooms to rent when looking for places to stay. You get used to it and it changes with time but it’s very different at first.

>Parentanons, did becoming a parent enhance the travel experience or did you feel better off when you could decide exactly what you wanted to do and when?

For me, it absolutely enhanced the experience, with time, although it started as something of a slog when they were four and useless. It can be legitimately magical to experience a place through a kid’s eyes, and just to watch a kid having fun somewhere interesting. My kids (now middle schoolers) have lived abroad for half their lives at this point, and traveled pretty widely (mostly in Europe, but also a bit of Latin America, Asia, and North Africa), and they’ve become quite interested in travel and in other countries and cultures—they help plan itineraries now, and have learned languages, and have thoughtful things to say about the places we go. And I no longer have to sit around at playgrounds or visit many children’s museums.

Booked a flight thru Saudi Airlines, and just saw posts about how dire the airport in Jeddah is. I only have a 2 hour layover.

How fucked am I?

>>2687146
Probably not at all fucked, if it’s all on one Saudia ticket. They have competent ground staff to assist with transfers and it is in their interest to get your ass and luggage successfully into its outbound seat and hold. It might be a bit rushed and annoying and uncomfortable, but you’ll be hustled through and on your way.

>>2687138
Yeah I got a direct flight, I could have got on in brussels/lille instead but then I'd have a transfer in paris anyway and pay more so I said fuck it

>>2684803
I’ve done a lot of rental car driving in Europe, and I think my opinions are broadly aligned with those of the other anons who have chimed in. Driving can be worth it if you want to visit mostly rural areas, if you want complete control over where you go, and, in my experience, if you have an international itinerary that you want to keep very flexible. Driving is always the wrong answer in European cities, and usually the wrong answer if transiting between more-or-less major cities. But it can save time if you’re interested in the countryside, and it is often, but not always, quicker than buses or trains between any points A and B.

If you love road trips in particular, there are a lot of great options. But if you’re just comparing ways to get between points, and aren’t specifically eager to drive, then it’s important to understand how much better public transportation is in nearly all of Europe than it is in the USA, and also how annoying and expensive it can be to drive and park in a lot of urban areas in Europe.

Best idea ever. You might want to promote homosexuality in Saudi Arabia or run a tranny campaign in Qatar next.

I have off of work for the next two weeks, I live in a upstate NY city. Any good ideas for solo travel or day trips I could do? Was thinking about New England or maybe somewhere out west

In the US, most flights will have tags that say "TRANSFER" on them by the bag tagging kiosks. I've had my luggage transferred without them, but you should put one on each bag.

I wanted to book a car from Sixt for a few days in Florida, but I can't find anything about valet parking in the rental T&C and a lot of the accommodations I looked at have valet only parking. If the valet manages to crash the car, does it land me in a pool of shit for letting a technically unauthorized driver (since the valet isn't on the rental agreement) behind the wheel?

How viable is it to find one of those countries with a depopulated countryside and buy one of those collapsing buildings there? (The stone ones)
I'm confident I could do all the stonework needed to rebuild the house by myself so at least it would have a stone shell and wood floor, how bad do they rape you with taxes and regulations in these countries?

I've pretty much just assumed that all these places with "1 dollar houses" are always like that for a VERY good reason, usually related to taxes and zoning and regulating. Somewhere like rural spain, rural italy, something like that. I could easily buy a crumbling stone property, fix it up in a month or two, and have a vacation house (albeit without modern luxuries but I really don't care about modern luxuries at all.)

Just as a little house to go to for 1 month of the year it doesn't seem too bad, does it?
