This last trip lasted 38 weeks. That's 266 days.
>Flights: $6.40 per day (19 minutes of labor per day)
>Housing: $13.92 per day (42 minutes labor)
>Food: $8.50 per day (25 minutes labor)
>Ground transport: $1.40 per day (4 minutes labor)
>Intoxicants: $0.55 per day (2 minutes labor)
>Miscellaneous: $1.42 per day (4 minutes labor)
>Bills from back home: A big fat $0.00 per day
I am lucky enough to live at a time when travel comes at a lower cost in terms of Amerimutt wage labor than ever before in human history. Every 96 minutes, I make enough money to cover another day of travel.
>b-but you're pooooor
It's my way of rebelling against the (((system))) and forging my own path through life. If you don't understand why anyone would choose to live lean on the open range rather than grow fat and sated in a milking stall, I'm not gonna waste time explaining it to you.

Tentative itinerary...
>Fly to Dubai
>United Arab Emirates overland to Oman
>Fly Muscat to Mumbai
>Somewhere somewhere Bharat
>Fly to Bangkok
>Thailand overland to Laos
>Laos overland to Vietnam
>Fly Vietnam to Japan/Korea
>Back to JewSA

Alternatives: Qatar instead of UAE, Oman to Pakistan, India to Malaysia/Indonesia, Vietnam to Philippines to USA, China???
>>
I would Qatar

>Pakistan
The visa is a hassle, I would get that in order well before you plan to arrive. Requires bank statements and such, I skipped it because of that...maybe one day.

>United Arab Emirates
I landed here yesterday and walked around some areas that showed museums and sights on google, they were either under construction (one being an "old town" but it all looks like it was built in "the old way") or was pretty sparse. The "main" museum was under construction too. Museums and art galleries are my main attractions too.

I didnt plan on doing "tours" here but maybe since the kind of stuff Im interested in dont seem to be here, like the "Old Town" area.

>"old town" but it all looks like it was built in "the old way"
This tour has a stop at a coffee house thats a block from where Im staying, its all under construction, remodeling, looked closed. Coin museum was kind of cool...but reaaally small, maybe 40 coins or so?

Gold market (mall for gold jewelry), meh. Spice market? Meh, saw it in Istanbul.

>overland to Oman
Saudi Arabia. More old stuff, larger country so more things can be in it, Im sure its got some big fancy mosques to see, and you can still visit Oman by land, which I was eyeing too. They seem to have a nice snorkling area, dolphins, animals to harrass with boops.
>>
>>2814701
The Saudi tourist eVisa costs $279 USD, which is frankly ridiculous.
>>2814684
The air pollution in midwinter is pretty bad as well. Down south of Bombay it's normally 150-200 versus 300+, which is more bearable.
>>2814693
UAE gives me the chance to experience muttsprawl, but without the ripoff prices and rampant street crime of muttsprawl in the USA. The density of shops and street life in the migrant economic zones is something I want to delve into for a bit. I rode the city bus through Sharjah and was surprised how bustling some of the districts are. Not too interested in the flashy (Dubai) side of things. Overall I approve of the way things are run over there. The Emiratis are based high-T alpha males, nothing like the nutless, cucked anglokike upper class of America.
>>2814636
>Qatar
Their $21 visitor fee is reasonable, but there's a Grand Prix event in Doha during the first week of December, so high flight & lodging prices can be expected.

Holy SHIT I dropped the Googleman in India, and there was not a speck of trash in sight! This is a sign that a Real Traveler can find the good, unspoiled parts of rural India if that's what he's looking for.

>bro just travel and fuck whores and get high lol don't start a family you'd hate that
enjoy your suicide before 40
>>
>>2815084
Why do you think that one has to exclude the other? There is time for both things in the life.
>>
>>2815084
uh yeah I'd fucking hate that. I have my own life to live, I'm sure as hell not spending years changing diapers and sacrificing every moment of my free time to care for a screaming little fuck, followed by another decade of not being able to live how I want because I need to take care of the still barely conscious retard

I will have seen so much and done so much by the time I'm 40 that I will be happy just having experienced that and suicide will be the last fucking thing on my mind
>>
>based slumbo putting the glowbitch cattle rangler in his place
Your plantation is falling apart you ugly bitch so just keep seething while others mock you.

I'm approaching 40 don't have a family and don't think much of it. Still traveling around mogging people and feeling fine.

So, Saudi Arabia offers a free 96 hour transit visa to visitors, but the Saudia website is refusing to offer me any flight itineraries which would allow me to stay over a night or two in Riyadh on my way from the USA to the UAE. Every time I select the stopover option, it tells me no flights are available. The longest layover Saudia is offering me in Riyadh is only 11 hours, from 6 AM to 5 PM. It's frustrating.
>>
Raleigh - NYC - Riyadh - Dubai costs only $414, but Raleigh - NYC - Riyadh costs $861, so a multi-city ticket makes no sense.
>just skiplag bro
Saudia charges up to $500 penalty for a no-show. In some Middle Eastern countries, if you have outstanding debts, you will not be allowed to depart the country.

You're not 'living lean on the open range', you're a degenerate sex tourist who wageslaves for months and then spends every cent on ladyboys in SEA
>inb4 n-no I'm a real traveler trust me
you're fooling absolutely nobody with the amount of time you spend in jungle asia

Thailand isn't even jungly in the northern interior. It's more a heavily human-modified savannah/open forest landscape, particularly during the dry season.
You coombrains always think Thailand revolves around cooming, when reality couldn't be farther from the truth. Only at a handful of bars in each provincial seat will you encounter washed up barhags who will paw you up and try to get you to pay 2000 baht for a romp. Ick. I'm not gonna pay a hag 300 baht (an entire day's food expenses) to give me a little backrub either. Waste of money.

so you spend a year wageslaving like a dog so you can spend 266 days blowing it all living unemployed in a third world country? and you think you're out of the "milking stall"?
>>
>>2814548
jeez dude you spent all that time travelling and yet you've come back and you still sound like an utterly miserable cunt
travel is supposed to broaden your horizons, but you sound like any other dysfunctional basement dwelling mouthbreather on here
>It's my way of rebelling against the (((system)))
you think you are rebelling against some mythical THEM but in reality you have just become part of another system
>live lean on the open range
you haven't done that though have you. you used a plane owned by a huge corporation to fly somewhere then you spent your time living in cheap dingy boxes and eating peasant junk
i would suggest doing something that is actually more like "living on the open range" like say patrick leigh fermor did but i don't think you're capable of it. so my suggestion to you anon is to raise a bit more money then enjoy travel the way it is supposed to be enjoyed. then when you come back you might sound a bit less like a parrot that just learned some 4chan buzzwords

Lol. slumbie is a bonafide megalomaniac you’re not gonna get through to him. He’s always right, everyone around him is always in awe of what he’s doing, every mundane experience is some fantastical deep mystical experience
>>
>>2818721
Pragmatism before dogmatism. Compromise with the system is more sensible than combat against it, yet compromise doesn't mean complete surrender. Of course you have to knuckle down and do as you're told to get paid at work, or to cross an ocean in an airplane. But the moment you quit your job and then step off the plane, the whole ordeal is forgotten and you set out doing what you really wanted to do with your life. You want to insist that a rebel can never compromise with the system, but that is patently false. Rebels compromise with the systems they are rebelling against all the time; they cede some of their autonomy in exchange for certain privileges.
>the way it's supposed to be enjoyed
There is no "supposed to". My route will intersect with the beaten path of the toorist herds from time to time, but it always diverges again. Autonomous movement is the ultimate expression of freedom and singularity. Peer pressure has no effect on me; it never has and never will, because I refuse to acknowledge any other human as a peer.
>muh miserable
Did you really fall for the delusion that a person must be 100% positive and never express a negative emotion about anything? That naive mindset is how you get taken for a fool and make terrible blunders. If you're young, it's excusable, because being young and bold and foolish is an essential part of the maturing process. You learn painful lessons from your mistakes and become a harder, wiser man who trusts his instinctive aversion / contempt reactions to steer him clear of potential threats to his mind, body or wallet.
>>2818623
Do the math. 1.6 hours of labor per travel day x 266 travel days = 425 hours of labor for this trip.
>>
>>2819282
lol you really think you're some kind of yoda character don't you
>Peer pressure has no effect on me; it never has and never will, because I refuse to acknowledge any other human as a peer.
that's probably a good thing anon because we're all better than you
