>Munich, berlin, Nuremberg, Heidelberg, Strasbourg, Brussels, and Amsterdam (with daytrips to the Hague and Frankfurt)

Munich: 5d ok
Berlin: 5d ok
Nuremberg: 3d enough
Heidelberg: 2d enough
Strasbourg: 3d enough
Brussels: As my previous poster mentioned, a bit overrated, so I would say 3d should be enough but hey, everyone has different interests
Amsterdam: 5d for booze, drugs and white drunk woman for all
The Hague: 3d recommend
Frankfurt: Daytrip probably not enough to see enough but for an impression its fine

Use an extra day for Gütersloh

A Czech babe I met was doing it in Taipei for two weeks at a hostel and got to stay for free.

She thought it was okay but she had no idea what she was getting into and it was actually shitty work like cleaning bathrooms and crap. And when she left she accidentally needed to stay an extra night and they fucked her over and charged her full price.

Overall seems okay but make sure the place you're going has good reviews and be prepared to actually work and not get to do much of the tourist thing.

With workaway yes. You have to pay for the membershit, at the time it was one year. Once you are in you can contact the hosts which can be searchen by country or by work. Some offer are just "we need a free workslave", but mist offers are genuine.

You need to set a profile to present youself. Good host offers will give you clear instructions about your time. If you both agree, you are gof to go.

I've never done Workaway, but my female friends who've done Woofing say like 40% of the jobs are creepy old guys trying to fuck them, 40% are couples looking for slave labor, with the remaining 20% being pretty ok. Your experience as a solo male will probably be completely different though fwiw

It's just like the US. 100% depends on how good looking and tall you are.

RooshV is a better place to answer these questions.

Dude, is it easy for you to get laid?

In London I'd say no. Went out many weekends for about 4 years straight and hooked up once that actuallt stemed into a 3-4 month relationship. My looks are objectivley a 5.5/10 so you might have better luck.

>the most traveled destination by white people
>asking if English-speaking white people are safe there
Really nigga?

In all seriousness, I have heard that it's only safe in the tourist areas. If you're one of those RealTraveler™ types, then you might have a hard time exploring outside of resorts and marketplaces.

Just spent the last two weeks travelling around the Yucatan peninsula and I never felt unsafe at any point, even wondering around Merida alone at night after a shed load of mezcal.

I'm white with barely any any Spanish too, btw

>>1255081
just like anywhere it depends on the area, but if you stay in relatively safe cities / parts of town you should be fine

It's because of their current President, Matt Ouimet. He used to run Disneyland and he has taken a quality over quantity approach, discarding all of the shit rides that were only their solely for coaster count record purposes and replacing them with actual decent ones.

ditching Disaster Transport was a good idea
I think Corkscrew and Iron Dragon are next

bumping for the glory that is roller coasters

Rule of thumb is the smaller the city, the more likely you're to have to actually use spanish and not run into a english bubble.
So you're better off to leave Barca and Madrid out.

Even better Cuba or smaller cities in South America (beside Chile and Bolivia as they have extreme heavy accents) as the english proficiency of the locals out side of the capital cities drops to almost zero/able to give basic directions.

>>1261079
i guess you meant chile and argentina. Bolivia accent is pretty much ok.

>>1261064
Madrid is pretty dull, head north for a better experience. South could be good as well but the accent is most peculiar.

Why Spain? Spain is expensive. You can try Mexico, the women and the country is way cheaper. Not to mention Mexico is home to two ancient world civilizations and the largest Spanish speaking country on the planet.

welcome to being part of the problem, you fucking piece of human garbage. everyone's going to hate you there, and you're going to deserve it. fortunately for you i'm sure you're such an oblivious entitled cunt that you will never notice how much everyone loathes you. but remember this when in 3 years you start bitching about all the new city people moving in, like, totally messing up the chill vibe that used to be here, man.

Look at Sandy, Or. well-placed between city and skiing

>>1261101

Lol a portland scumbag going off on intelligent city people moving to Portland. You people are dirty, lazy and boarder line communists. Fuck off man, this is why i will never live in your pathetic excuse of a city.

>What are my chances of finding a nice wholesome Christian girl to settle down and have missionary sex with for the purpose of procreation rather than a getting scammed by a golddigger?

Hey guys, I'll be in Seoul in about a month's time if anyone wants to have a drink.

Also I'll be doing a YPT tour in September if anyone would like to join?

How do I get a job besides ESL? Have an MBA but not Korean

>>1260556
if you want the best working conditions, get a job at a western multinational and get placed in Korea. This is not so easy however.

Getting a job at a Korean company means Korean (i.e. bad) working conditions. You will also have a difficult time at Korean companies without Korean ability.

I'm from Edmonton, coincidentally I'm heading overseas for the summer. It's been awhile since I've been to the mountains but I can recommend some things to do in the city if you want.

I'm a bong, but I spent a few months in Alberta and loved it. For outdoor activities, I don't think there's anywhere better.

The most well-known national park is probably Banff, which has the famous Lake Louise. Both Lake Louise itself and Banff are very fun and you can easily spend lots of time there hiking, mountain-biking, canoeing, horseback riding, etc, if I had to have one criticism it would be that it is a little bit touristy. In contrast, Jasper National Park is closer to Edmonton and, in my opinion, even better than Banff. Just as many beautiful lakes and mountains, but with not quite so many tourists and feels a bit more authentic. That said, I went to Banff in the middle of the summer and the tourists weren't overwhelming at all. I'd recommend going to both, and also taking in the beautiful Icefields Parkway, which is the road that links the two parks, but also a national park in its own right.

Aside from that, there's also loads of smaller provincial parks that are also well worth visiting. Pic related is at the Berg Lake trail at the foot of Mt Robson, on the border of BC near Yoho. I spent most of my time in the north of the province, and Willmore Wilderness Park is very nice too. I'm sure there are many others too.

Will any of your family take you hunting? Luckily I had a friend over there who was really really into his outdoor activities so I could just tag onto whatever he was doing - it might be more difficult if you don't know anyone.

Guess that depends on what you define as "third-world."

I've enjoyed time in the following cities, in no particular order:

>New Delhi (lived for two years)
>Mumbai
>Kolkata

>Bogota
>Medellin

>Leon (Nicaragua)

>Belgrade

>Sarajevo

>Istanbul (not sure if Turkey is technically third-world, but whatever)

>Tbilisi

I find people in developing countries to be more approachable than their first-world counterparts.

Varanasi is amazing. A very special place.

Pnom Penh is a bit of a shithole but quite fun./

Read a few times here and on some other travel sites that Jakarta has an interesting youth culture and has come some way from it's urban hellscape reputation thanks to some urban renewal programs run by the last couple of mayors.

the gypsy beggars were really charming

I was born in boring North Texas. Just waking up in Paris knowing that it's full of rich history is a great feeling. Well, at least in my opinion. Oh and lots of alcohol.

frenchfag here.

paris is a nice place to visit especially museums, but don"t waste your time here, there are a shitload of interesting stuff to see all across france, regions of the country are a lot different from one-another, different landscapes and the classic wombo-combo of wine/food specialty/cheese changes a lot from where you are.

i personally reccomand the folowing regions, in disorder. up to you to adjust according to the scedule or what you want to see.

>ardèche (warm weather with rivers is alway nice)
>savoie (because alps are beautiful)
>pays basque (surfin' yo)
>lot et garonne (lots of fruits and fortified cities)
>bretagne (celtbros with bagpipes and funny language)
>corse (a nice island to stay around, language funny too)
>Val de loire (just for the massive castles here)
>auvergne (old volcanoes and lakes)

i belive you have your trip around faguette-country. enjoy.

When compared to the rest of the world, Germans are, indeed, unimaginative, misanthropic, bureaucratic, conservative shitbags. So am I.

I'm Dutch. Perception didnt really change: we have great infrastructure, great people but its boring as fuck when its not summer.

I am just way more content with what we have here: the fact that you can ride a bicycle everywhere, the lack of any sort of corruption, the weather that doesn't kill you, etc.

>>1259972
Germans are great. But I usually visit Berlin, which isn't really germany.

>>1259971
America

I used to rail on it in my youth, but while I still understand we have lots of problems I'm lucky to have been born here and can see there is plenty of good things going on.
