>if you didn't visit ______ 10 years ago you MISSED OUT >if you are not currently visiting ______ right now you are MISSING OUT
>>2847658It doesn't matter where or in what era you go, but travel is for people from 18-25. If you go after this, then you missed out
>>2847662Most 18-25 year olds dont have the money to travel.
>>2847658It's just FOMO and FUD mongers trying to make you feel bad
>>2847662I've been traveling non-stop since I was 20. That's 25 years. I used to say stupid shit like you then
>>2847665Get a job instead of attending special needs juvenile daycare.
>>2847665That's why they stay in super cheap hostels backpacking around in between college semesters
Yeah Philippines is so shit now.Thailand really went downhill too.
>>2847676>Thailand really went downhillNo, Thailand went UPhill. Thats why a basic apartment on AirBnB is $1,000/month in Chiang Mai.Im paying $250/month (over Christmas and New Years no less) in the middle of Ubud, Bali. Food is waaay better too, especially French and Mexican.
>>2847662>but travel is for people from 18-25correct but you forgot to add the 18yo highschooler girlfriend
>>2847662Bullshit. 23 year old me didn't have the inner calm, fortitude and strong stomach needed for the budget travel life. I stroogled with loneliness and depression, stroogled with paranoid distrust and social aversion, then stroogled with drinking and weed dependencies. Only after turning 30 did I finally gain the confidence to venture solo into places I've never heard of and content myself with the simple things like laying in a soft bed with a full belly, staring at the ceiling fan. Or getting invited into someone's home to meet their family.
if you are not currently visiting Appalachia right now you are MISSING OUT
>>2847673>He thinks basic entry level McJobs today actually pay people enough to fulfill basic necessities, let alone travel>He thinks they still hire recent college grads instead of offloading all the grunt work onto jeets and AI
>>2847678>cheap accomodations full of Russians>more crowded and less warm attitudes towards customers>indians exist and in growing numbers>prices rising to about twice what they used to be a few years agoYeah nah Thailand is absolutely DOWNhill you cunt don't argue with me.
>>2847739>don't argue with meI dont argue wirh individuals, I argue with species...namely hueman.>cheap accomodations(....Holy Shit, and this is why.)No, dumbfuck, Thailand is grossly over priced and trash.>prices rising to about twice what they used to be a few years agoYeah, its TOO NICE for you now, you got priced out by a RISING ECONOMY. Thats the UP in UPhill you fucknut...Every hueman on Earth is wrong...and I am not hueman.
>>2847658Syria 10 years agoUkraine right now
>>2847742>priced outI'm not priced out. I just don't want to pay more than I'm willing if I don't have to.>by a RISING ECONOMYRising economy or currency debasement? Thailand has stagnated in recent years. It's mostly the influx of incels and war refugees paying these prices.
>>2847760>I'm not priced out. I just don't wantWhat you wanted was taken off the menu on purpose.>Rising economy or currency debasement?Irrelevent metric, them degenerating is irrelevent when theyre being lifted up faster from an outside source. Tuktuks are a relic and even Thais see them as "riff ragg attractors". Its an AirCon generation.>Thailand has stagnated in recent years.And yet $1,000/month for a basic bitch apartment is "market value"...>It's mostly the influx of incels and war refugees paying these prices.Priced out by refugees and incels?My first time in Thailand was 2007. Shit be different now...its priced as first world, because it went UPHILL economically. >but bad is good to meYeah, ego-centric value system...very "mortal", very "hueman".
>>2847658Oh, and if you didnt travel the banana trail by the early 2000s.....psshhhhh.....sheeeit, son, ya missed the boat!It literally doesnt exist anymore...there werent smartphones, guides were in books, just finding a hotel could become an adventure. Now the entire itinerary can be booked from New York City.
>>2847691One region of the world that has barely changed in decades, kek
>>2847764Chiang Mai was high on the list of world cities seeing the largest price hikes for accomodation. I visited last year and found it wayyy too gentrified and full of rich whiteys. English signage glass-front air-con "Est 2021" boutique establishments everywhere. Went to a "local" restaurant and every single customer was white. This after being the only white person around in the rest of northern Thailand. Goddamn trendsetters always driving costs through the roof. Even Chiang Rai was beginning to get overrun. >>2847773Nobody even backpacks overland anymore. They all jet-set or take luxury executive buses from one hotspot to another, skipping everything in between. If you're willing to visit all the in-between places, you'll find Thailand much the same as it always was.
>>2847742Ironically, Bali had a reputation of being overrun and overpriced a decade ago. Ubud is not on the coast, so it makes sense it would be cheaper. >Thailand is grossly overpricedThailand has gross price disparities between globohomo-tier services and traditional Thai-tier services (which never have air-con). The local economy is stagnant, it's only the luxury sector which is soaring.
>>2847764>And yet $1,000/month for a basic bitch apartment is "market value"...For tourist Airbnb apartments. Locals don't pay that.>Priced out by refugees and incels?Pension boomers priced out, yes. As I previously stated in my magnificent post, I am not priced out. My networth has INCREASED over the last two years of joblessness and traveling because I am an aristocrat (share holder). You huemans are the ones being pushed out. I mearly scamper around sampling different areas to find ones which have what I want at good prices. Thailand might have increased in price, but it's still good for some things. For others, I have found other locations.
>>2847792You are the reason Hitler won in 1933. Plague upon your home, my small hat "aristocratic" friend. Traverse through the eye of the needle, for your next travel adventure.
>>2847822My hat is not small, hueman peasant. I am merely a driven and hungry pleb who clawed my way out of poverty and homelessness to get some USD and always dump it back into the machine while aiming for freedom at the cost of everything else.>Plague upon your homeBurgerland is already diseased. Does not need your voodoo hububbery. Anglos and mormons spread the contamination fine themselves.
>>2847822>Traverse through the eye of the needle, for your next travel adventure.Nope! Planning on Thailand again, thanks :)
>>2847658Albania is a 'you must go now' destination, imo. I believe some corrupt businessmen who owned Tirana airport owned the rights to the airspace, and was blocking new airports being opened. I think this now over, and there's airports being built in Sarande and Vlore. This means hundreds of Wizzair/Ryanair flights spamming the 'riviera' with britbongs on tour. (Currently they're too retarded to get a bus from Tirana).

If you didn't visit Japan 10 years ago you should basically commit seppuku
>>2847676Colombia and South American in general used to be a paradise.>>2848199It's too late anyway
>>2847658>if you didn't visit ______ 10 years ago you MISSED OUT This is true though. Traveling only gets worse as it becomes more globally accessible. Traveling in the early 2010s was way better in pretty much every country.
>>2848214100% this. Globalisation has been a mistkae. War is unironically the best thing which can happen to /trv/.
>>2847662
>>2847662I traveled the entirety of these yearsAnd even moreso after that I'm kinda burnt out honestly
>>2847662Retarded take especially when considering that retired people are one of the age groups that travels the most
>>2848352you can still go to myanmar
>>2847658When I lived in Japan as a 25 year old 10 years ago, the old gaijin drunks told me I had missed out of the good times. The truth is there is only now. Not then, not next week. Now.
>>2849452As we approach the singularity, it's more difficult to find an edge. Everything's being boiled into a big soupy slop.
>>2847662Very telling take. If you can afford to “travel the world” nonstop in your early 20s, odds are you’re either bankrolled or burning time and money you’ll pay for later. A lot of people confuse partying in hostels and seasonal resort towns with meaningful travel. Then in their 30s they’re still clinging to restaurant or resort work, bouncing between mountain towns, posting nature pics to feel and appear young and free because they never built anything sustainable. Travel isn’t age locked. It’s about how and why you do it. Some people travel later with money, perspective, and choice. Others blow their 20s chasing vibes and instagram shots and call it “experience.”
>>2849452My parents would always used to tell me I had the rest of my life to travel around the world. Now, being older and able to travel, I no longer want to as everywhere has become more crowded and full of tourists. I was fortunate to visit Japan over 10 years ago and it was so much different from today. I guess my parents being of the boomer generation assumed things would always get better.
