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 dayI 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 pooooorIt'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 JewSAAlternatives: Qatar instead of UAE, Oman to Pakistan, India to Malaysia/Indonesia, Vietnam to Philippines to USA, China???
I would Qatar
>>2814548>PakistanThe 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.
>>2814548>~ $8000 in expenses>spent a grand total of $0.75 in tipsWhat a cheapskate
>>2814548>United Arab EmiratesI 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.
>>2814693>"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.
>>2814548>overland to OmanSaudi 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.
>>2814701The Saudi tourist eVisa costs $279 USD, which is frankly ridiculous.>>2814684The air pollution in midwinter is pretty bad as well. Down south of Bombay it's normally 150-200 versus 300+, which is more bearable.>>2814693UAE 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>QatarTheir $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.
>>2814991>I rode the city bus through Sharjah and was surprised how bustling some of the districts are(It was at this moment I realized I was in danger.)
>bro just travel and fuck whores and get high lol don't start a family you'd hate thatenjoy your suicide before 40
>>2815084Why do you think that one has to exclude the other? There is time for both things in the life.
>>2815084uh 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 retardI 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 placeYour 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.
>>2814548>yeah I'm poor but [excuses]every time
>>2815188>/trv/ millionaire>zero proof of assets>lives with parents>wants to relocate to a cheap shithole country because muh reasonsEvery. Time.I'm the only monkey fudger on this board who spits real numbers when it comes to travel finances.
>>2814701So, 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 broSaudia 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.
>>2814548>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.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 meyou're fooling absolutely nobody with the amount of time you spend in jungle asia
>>2818220Thailand 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.
>>2814548>~ $8000 in expenses>wasted $0.75 in tips and handoutsWhat a cuckold
>>2814548so 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"?
>>2814548jeez dude you spent all that time travelling and yet you've come back and you still sound like an utterly miserable cunttravel 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 rangeyou 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 junki 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
>>2818721>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 junkLol. 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
>>2818721Pragmatism 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 enjoyedThere 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 miserableDid 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.>>2818623Do the math. 1.6 hours of labor per travel day x 266 travel days = 425 hours of labor for this trip.
>>2819282lol 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
>>2819286You're more than welcome to prove your point by lifemogging me with your superior travel experiences. /trv/ badly needs more quality content.
India and Nepal just may be enough for nine months of overseas travel. >India: December through March>Nepal: April through June>India: July and August for the monsoon experienceFly less, spend less, feel more liberated from the bondage of wageslavery.
>>2820260Not enough cheap pecker play for slumbo
>>2820267No doubt I'll encounter my share of super gay Indian men eager for pecker play in the sketchy back alleys of Mumbai.Had to pay $15.50 USD per night for a hotel room near the airport. Hostel bunks were as low as $3, but 30 bunks served by one toilet sounded like a nightmare to me. It takes me twenty minutes for my sluggish bowels to excrete a meter-long snake of shit, and I didn't want some Indian busting into the bathroom to sit in my lap, shart between my legs and spray my junk with his diarrhea.
>>2819286>we're all better than youYour delusions of superiority aren't doing you any favors in this world.Sounds like he's got some things figured out better than you do.
>>2818725>every mundane experience is some fantastical deep mystical experience>I can understand how the limited perspective of an superficial mind would perceive it that waybut it can be. funnily enough, those who have found deep universal truths are of the same mind as those who find enjoyment in simple pleasures measured against an self-defined aesthetic. i can see the universe at will but your kind would never deign to sufficiently still yourselves to do likewise.
>>2819282>the whole ordeal is forgotten and you set out doing what you really wanted to do with your life.>living to workforgive them lord for they know not what they do. those espousing the mantra of living to work never realize the shifting walking moving beneath their feet queering apparent distances over the horizon necessitating serfdom of future generations for solvency.>Peer pressure has no effect on me; it never has and never will, because I refuse to acknowledge any other human as a peer.this can be a blessing as well as a curse. leveraging geographical arbitrage as a means of orthogonal cultural irrelevancy is optimum.
>>2821916all of that would be tolerable were it possible to bribe oneself out of a murder charge for $100 usd.
>>2814548>grow fat and sated in a milking stallngl, it's one of my fantasies
>>2823279>WALKWAY*
>>2814991>The Saudi tourist eVisa costs $279 USD, which is frankly ridiculous.Having toured some museums and sites around Dubai...its worth the cost. Abu Dhabi has one mosque that was pretty neat, was partially a museum too. But it isnt worth a full tour of the country for.I cant wait to fly out of here, its too expensive for what I have access to.
>>2823279Yes, travel is work in the physical sense (force applied to a mass, which happens to be my ass). I can't live a sedentary life. Walking 10 miles on my days off is normal here in Colorado.
>>2823280If you have the luck to kill a guy who everybody hates due to his thieving habits, they might stare in awe and let you walk away and board a train for Nepal.
>>2823278>i can see the universe at willand yet here you are shitposting along with the rest of us mere mortalsfucking 4chan main character syndrome man, it's the fucking worst
>>2823426Yet it's the "I did this", "I did that" kind of travel posting that most people are interested in. Not impersonal sperging over the geographical and political features of various parts of a landmass.
>>2823426>along with the rest of us mere mortalsUnheard of occurrence.
>I murdered some innocent brown kids as a zogbot and then got put on pills>the tardpills and trauma fried my brain>now I think I'm jesus and go into credit card debt to take pictures of third world shitholeswho am I?
>>2823718When he pays off the balance every time his monthly gibs check drops, the financial industry rewards him for his good goy status.
Just for fun, let's compare the cost of living in America to the cost of living overseas. Here are the figures for two months back in America...>Housing: $17.15 per night (1 night hotel, 61 nights apartment)>Food: $10.28 per day (all groceries, no restaurants)>Intoxicants: $0.66 per day>Domestic transport: $2.34 per day (initial arrival and final departure expenses only)>Miscellaneous: $1.27 per dayIt's really not much different. The biggest difference is that in America I rent monthly versus nightly, and I cook my own meals instead of eating at restaurants. Monthly places are undeniably more comfortable and spacious than nightly hotel rooms in a similar price range, but you give up your freedom to roam by tethering yourself to a single location. Cooking your own meals gives you the ability to choose higher quality ingredients, like coconut oil instead of yellow motor oil for frying. However, dining out allows you to enjoy a MUCH greater variety of foods, prepared by people who are better at cooking than you are (hopefully).
>>2823736Your bullshit balloons are in Amerixa, and youre not even in one...is....is your life shit?Its ok if it is (its not, its a sign of a failed life's purpose.)
>>2824664I do that all the time but look at the monthly timeframe.Every month traveling around Asia I'm right around or often even a few hundred dollars lower for the month than what I was paying in west coast US.
>>2824700Unlike you, I must physically labor to save money for my travels. Traveling North America made the most sense as long as I had a vehicle (up until eleven months ago). Now that I am at ease with living on foot and having barely 10 kg of possessions, I can wander wherever I please. I still prefer long, slow journeys across landmasses.Veracruz, Mexico
>>2824709How does your quality of life compare between the two continents?
>>2814548Oman is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to. The people are incredibly friendly. I always call it a Disneyland arabia. It's the arabia of old movies or your childhood imagination. Good plan. I'm in Mumbai right now actually, just got here yesterday. Also a really cool place. In Oman I rented a landcruiser for like $40 per day and just slept in it. Gas was crazy cheap. The wadis are stunningly beautiful and there's this island that was like from a Kipling story
>>2824714https://youtu.be/gqYEVPc_cpM>Unlike youYes, unlike me you work a normal schedule and toil for your lot, while I labor multiple jobs at the same time, working 18-24+ hours in a day. From the second I wake up to the moment I fall sleep, Im working multiple jobs at once.Even during leisure Im working. Sometimes still two at once, mulling over a large equation in the background of my minds while writting a paper on another topic while playing a video game, usually attending a lecture of some kind as well (then go back and forth to post on 4Chan). Currently learning about cellular inflammation in relation to nutrition. You seriously think a dozen PhDs was a joke? (I only count it as a PhD if my works will change how the field is taught in Uni-Versities, not simply some test or data point added to the collection of others...those are called "papers", I've done thousands of those.)>I must physically labor to save moneyAnd I must mentally excell to save the world from itself.No breaks.No days off.No vacations.No friends.No family.No fun.ONLY SATAN.https://youtu.be/t7h3UEqdlnYYour body is actively dying...now is never returning...failure is forever...zero second chances...life is a suicide mission and you've already crossed the rubicon.
>>2824765Mumbai is the most expensive city in India, with a hustle culture to match. I'm looking to get the hell away from it shortly after I land...but if you want to splash the cash, you can enjoy some fine living there, I bet. Maybe even score with some rich liberated pajeetas. >>2824836I'd rather keep my brainspace as clean and simple as a Thai hotel room. Ecclesiastes 1:18 stuck with me from a young age.>“For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.”
>>2825058>Ecclesiastes 1:18Yeah, thats why Jesus said "Love" and not "Gnosis" was The Way, and that is the difference between The Son and The Father.Jordan Peterson, when asked about The Father gives a rapid fire answer and with confidence. Asked about Jesus and the gears seize in his head...he doesnt get it, and it showed during that Jubilee interview, he isnt a Christian. He didnt go through Jesus, he skipped the line to The Father and got lost in the mental Matrix, promoted war in Gaza, promoted death.People think they "get the knowledge" because it can be easily imparted to others...but if the intent of Love isnt behind it then the Law can easily be used to justify evil works.
>>2825058fucking hell this thread is fucked isn't it>Ecclesiastes 1:18 stuck with me from a young age.>>“For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.”yeah religions tend to like to keep people stupid and unthinking
>>2825213Don't forget the context...a trip to India. For your own sanity, you MUST shut out the suffering of a billion people from your awareness. Delving into their conflicts, understanding their struggles, empathizing with their feelings, it will destroy your mind and break you down to the level of your surroundings.Western (((humanist))) ideology - every human is valuable, every human is equal, every human deserves a better life - is utterly BTFO by a society like India's which remains primitive at its heart. However, Old Testament morality stands strong in such a setting. Your own uprightness must stand out like a shining beacon amidst all the suffering and exploitation of the dark idolatrous civilization around you. >>2825071Old Testament ideology makes Israel a roaring lion terrorizing its neighbors, while New Testament-following Christians are led like lambs to the fleecing. You will learn more about human nature from a study of the Old Testament than you can from any other single book in existence.
I climbed a farm road to the top of a hill near the Mekong River valley in Xayaboury provinceIndia has terrain like this too in the southern hill country.
>>2814548>fly to Dubai I’d enjoy nuking that place>OmanI’d be interested but you should just fly through turkey even though it’s more expensive now. Istanbvl is always going to mogg those gulf shitholes full of disgusting people.>BharatYou like brown girls? Stay in the middle of all the universities in Bangalore or go North to trance parties in Himachal Pradesh and creampie some Jewish baddie. >Thailandthe best>laosI’d still be burnt out from India >vietnamAfter India id just chill in da Nang and go to hostel bars in Hoi An. I’d recapture my energy there.>japanI don’t know it’s a silly place with all it’s infantile attractions but the order of everything would be nice after so much time in the other places>koreaOne of the worst countries in the world. What a depressing place. It can disappear with gulf countries.
>>2814548is this Poorfag? As in SlumDork?
>>2825592What's with the Vietnam beach town meme? I don't want to be surrounded by assorted foreigners. Laos is much more tranquil than Vietnam as well. Lower population density.
There's definitely more to see in Thailand. I barely scratched the surface of the south on my last trip. But I want to limit myself to 60 days a year in the country, as trying for a second 60-day entry can result in hassles.
>>2825760I like central vietnam the best. I also don’t rate Asian women and like having other white people around. I don’t know go North and do the ha gian loop or however you spell it. I liked hoi an, nha trang and da Nang the best.
>>2825764Wait that can be a problem? Even if months away?
>>2825818Others still report doing border runs and getting 60 days back to back, but after scanning my passport, the immigration official scowled at the screen, then turned to my passport page with three Thailand entries over a 13 month period and acted like I had committed an immigration violation by seeking a fourth entry two months after my last departure.>>2825780>60 days in Thailand >30 days in Laos - 30 day extension a possibility.>90 days in VietnamThis itinerary is my primary alternative to staying in South Asia for the first half of 2026 (i.e. India, Nepal, and why not a month in Sri Lanka as well). Hotel costs will be the primary determining factor. If my average nightly rate in India is on track to exceed $16/night, AND I'm getting put in shitty broken-down rooms next to noisy highways, it's only logical to say "Fuck India" and go to Thailand, where $11-15 per night reserves me a highly rated room in hotels all over the interior.
>>2826118Ok thats a lot. So just two entries for tourism with most of the year between it should be ok
>>282612690 days out of any 180 day period is an unofficial limit for foreigners, which may be waived by immigration if you're a desirable foreigner (i.e. you don't show up drenched in sweat and suffering from a nasty sickness following a morning thick with some very hazardous-smelling smoke in the mountains of Bokeo province.
