Singapore is very safe, loads of good cheap food and a really nice place if you're staying for a short period.

Not sure how the airbnb prices are.

Taipeh

No joke, go to Japan

You can travel old cities that hate eachother later
i made a Japan thread myself on /b/

2.5-3k will be spent on plane tickets, another 1k on game tickets and 1.5k for food housing ect. I plan on attendting 3 group games. And will try to see if I can go to a round of 16 game. So I will be there for atleast 4 weeks.

May looks straight but its not, pretty bad road, It was a curve between two "hills" where we avoided another car coming to us though the middle of the road. No lanes un África.

Also take a look at our tyres. One blowed up. Shitty rental company.

I saw a recent movie according to which there is a high availability of child prostitutes. So if that rocks your boat you might have soemthing to do. The movie's dutch, it's called Tirza . ACtually a pretty cool movie, not just stereotype peddling, so you might give it a go if you've nothing to do. Shows other places in Namibia too

>Nepal
Great for outdoor activities, but mostly in tourist groups. I did a 3 day river-raft which was a blast. Except you go hiking alone.
And I don't know how it is nowadays, because of the quake. Anyone?
I don't suggest Kathmandu because its dirty and smelly. Can also be quite cold.

Iran is great, and has a whole bunch of various climates and great cities. Sure there's the stereotypical desert, but there's also snowy mountains, and mediterraneans climes with forests and shit, plains.

Iran (already mentioned was great), so was Finnish Lapland in the middle of winter, Georgia is great and so were small towns in Norway. Also I absolutely loved Macedonia

Before you come here, I suggest you just fucking save up some money first. Dont buy tobacco or alcohol, every foreigner complains that its expensive as hell here. Maybe try coachsurfing.

define "shoestring budget"
It can differ from someone from pakistan or someone from the USA.

In general: Norway has a high cost of living.
Tell us why in particular Norway?

>>1298987
Why would you use pakistan as an example?

Where are you from? Another EU country?

I was there last year and never ever booked hostel until last minute. Several times booked it while on train on way to next stop, but I did have cheap moviefone sim with data. A few times just showed up at hostel, got room or got directed to hostel with room.

Nice one. Thanks for the info. Any advice?
Looks great, I'm travelling on just under 500 euros so probably gonna be tight but I want to make it last for as long as possible. Do you think it's possible to sleep """rough""" if I have to without dying/being arrested? Will surely save me some cash

Johor Bahru (close to Singapore, about commuting distance, yet much cheaper)

Washington DC (people close to me liked the city a lot. Also, seems like I can live there without a car)

Montréal. It seems to have everything I like besides an ocean. Cold weather, modern, cycling infrastructure, bilingual, close to family (New England).

Portland (ME). Many of the same reasons as above, but better fishing and have heard it's quite cozy.

OP here. By the way, it would be interesting to also say where you're from. So I'm from Munich, Germany and my two cities would be:

1) Seattle: Seems to have relaxed people and I guess it's muliticultural without having problems because of that. The food seems great and I think I wouldn't mind the rainy weather. The outdoors around the city also seem to be awesome. On top of all that, Seattle doesn't seem to be as hipsterish as Portland.

2) Sapporo: I've never been to northern Japan, but I love Japan. I hate the humid summers, though and that would be much better in Sapporo. I also like the wilderness and pioneer spirit plus the elusiveness of the city. The whole mindset seems to be a bit more American than in the rest of Japan and I also really like America, so that's a plus.

Anyone?

>>1298667
yea dude i do

>>1298763

Alright man, I'm all ears (eyes?)

Let's hear your recommendations!

a25 or partially filled 30 should do you fine unless you plan to double or triple our flght budget

51 X 29 X 28

Tortuga is all you need to know.
The new one is best.

your spending habits must be pretty poor if you make 80k and can't afford to go somewhere for a week

>>1298820
Or I live in a high CoL area and am prioritizing paying off my student loans

>>1298856
Ok so rephrase your OP to:

>i dont prioritize traveling, therefore i dont travel

Then examine how retarded your thread is

So I remember before hearing about small towns, inaka, giving away homes to people willing to live there.

They wouldn't sponsor a foreigner to do that, would they?

>>1298298
Probably not, unless you have a residency visa

I don't.

I'd probably move to just about anywhere else in the US besides my hometown in Upstate NY. I'd probably move to San Francisco, Seattle, or NYC. I've heard great things about all of them and there are positives and negatives to each of them, but they all seem great, especially if you're wealthy. Realistically I'd be travelling almost constantly though, so it'd be more of an address than a home.

Tokyo. I would live a life of hedonism.

I'd probably have a couple places in different locations around the world. Not like big fancy vacation homes, just little cabins or apartments. One in Alaska, one in Chile, maybe a little beach hut in New Caledonia.

Converse Chucks are the only shoes I ever wear.

I want everyone I meet to know I'm young at heart and down to party ;)

>>1297704
Actually it's kinda pic related. I have done a lot of outdoor travel in the last few years and there are no better shoes for me than Moab 2 Vents at the moment.

My other shoes that I take are black New Balance walking shoes. They're comfortable and black goes with anything, including dress pants for going out.

I'm going to get a pair of sandals for my next trip though, I've never liked sandals my whole life but I think they have a purpose especially in the tropics.

Any trip to West Bank (Areas A&B) should never be alone.

You're probably better off just basing yourself in Jerusalem and day-tripping into the West Bank. You can get buses from Jerusalem to most of the sites in the WB and taxi your way around once you're there.

Israeli authorities will check your passport on the bus (can't remember if they asked to see my visa slip) but that's about it.

West Bank is no problem from the safety point of view if you go in there as a non-Israeli tourist. Just stay away from the settler areas, in case they decide to incite violence and you get caught up in it. The authorities probably will get buttmad if you plan to go there. But they most likely won't know if you don't tell them, and use whatever non-Israel passport you have. The WB border is surprisingly easy and they'll hardly glance at your passport if you look like a western tourist.

Also don't listen to Shlomo here >>1297394
, he's not going to give you anything objective.
