Are you an actual traveler if your not going to places like Somalia , Congo and Afghanistan?You'll actually experience a side of world you'll never see and come across stuff that will leave a lasting impression. Why be another normie that traveled to Japan or Thailand.>theyll kill me cause im white No they dont just show them you're actually a beast who shouldn't be messed with. There are Russian truck drivers in Congo , Ukrainian helicopter drivers in Somalia and Chinese shop owners in Afghanistan. Where's your ambition and passion for life to seek out danger and adventure anon
Going to places that don't speak English is a waste of my time and theirs. They should all learn to speak and write only in English if they want visitors.
>>2849749You are NOT a tough-as-nails mercenary in the Congo/Afghanistan/Somalia.You're a soft ass white dorker who would get eaten alive in those places in less than a day.Just go to Thailand like all the other goycattle, at least there you'll be safe.
The fuck are you even gonna do as a tourist in the Congo or Somalia? Go inna jungle and dance with pygmies? Join a pirate crew and hijack boats?
>>2849749You're not a Real Traveller® if you're not getting kindapped in Port-au-Prince right now
Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo
Cringe thread, maybe I don't want to go to these shit hole countries that can barely provide the necessary needs for a tourist/backpacker with armed militia driving everywhere checking for ID's you can literally get adventure anywhere in the world if you look hard enough, why would I make it more difficult for myself? If I had wanted to go to Somalia since I was a boy I would but unfortunately nothing I have ever seen about the country interests me. It just makes you an edgelord unfortunately, if you had reason to visit these countries I however would be interested in hearing your stories just "backpacking" them would give me weird off the beaten track sex tourism vibes

There's a kino blog about a couple who drove through Congo
>>2849749CAR is the true destination for basedboiz right now.
Afghanistan is okay if you have a guide and situational awareness but Idk if I trust the other ones to be safe for the average person
Going to do Guyana's as one trip. Seems like an interesting place
>>2850418You looping it with Brazil (part of the Guyana Shield)? Also, recent Venezuela events might btfo these plans if there's shockwaves.
>>2849749You unironically have to be rich to travel a country like DRC. Ripoff hotels, private car hires, laughably overpriced fancy restaurants, and that's before you even do anything. Go visit a village or a nature reserve and you will be expected to pay one fee after another. If you're connected to influential locals and making a fat wad of dirty $100 bills every month, then yeah you can have a go at enjoying life. But a solo traveler with a pocket full of cash wandering aimlessly just to see stuff, no interest in cozying up to anyone? You're a lone dog amidst jackals. Enough of them gather, and they will attack you.

>>2849749there's no need to go to those places because they're coming to you.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBYsQE4Pxb4
>>2849749I already live in the Philippines. I vacation in first world countries for a change lol.
>>2853087>b-but migrantsThat's exactly why you should also embrace the rootlessness of modern globalism, instead of staying put wherever your parents plopped you out, being a good paypig for your country's elite, pining after a gf you will never get and seething endlessly about the great replacement agenda. The new globohomo normal is to reject your roots and pick a map dot that best serves your interests, whatever they are. If you are unable to adapt to a changing environment, you are evolutionarily unfit for survival.
This is a great travel blogger who wrote about his trip to afghanistan recentlyhttps://mattlakeman.org/2026/01/05/notes-on-afghanistan/(warning, long)
I've been to many places, but it was the ones which were different that really stuck with me. The cultural value is sort of a commodity, a rarity.If everyone has been to France, the idea of children drinking alcohol, dining in the street, French culture isn't "new" to anyone. So i really went to some Congo tier places, in search of new ideas, new cultures, new food, new commodities. That's what makes an explorer, and the world evolves so quickly that a place which hasn't been explored by many people recently is still degrees away from untouched civilisation. Sure you can pick up the phone to anywhere in the world, but who has? And of what value would that be? If cortes had just sat-phoned the Aztecs they wouldn't have understood him, the aztecs might have just denied having gold, the subject of human sacrafice might have just not come up in conversation because they didn't think it was relevant. It took cortes actually going there in person to really work out what techloteclan was all about. So these Congo tier places, sure there's connection, but they might just not feel like connecting, you might need to low key invade them. They might hide their treasure, or you, as a traveller, might be particularly astute and pick up things the UN hasn't. Some of us might even be diplomatic advisors who help write county reports or aid fact finding. And security here is often an issue, but what constitutes security often isn't easy to understand.
>>2854230I feel like travellers who go to regions looking for something tend to both warp their own experiences, and get given a tailored experience. That's not a criticism, if you want war, want Taliban, want post-collinial clerical rule Afghanistan has you covered, but recognise so many tourists go to Afghanistan for those reasons, that the roller-coaster factor emerges, especially in written guides, you can see that very clearly. If you went to Afghanistan with a cook book, you'd find yourself in a lot of restaurants, and write a lot about flatbread, which is equally abundant in Afghanistan.
