Get culturally enriched by peaceful Muslims

But seriously, grab a beer and a pork shoulder at a beer hall, that's some good shit

>>1258619
Which nationality and which airport? Tegel?
6h is not much. Be aware you have to get beack in time + you have to go though security again, because you left transit.

>>1258619
>6 hours
>What can I accomplish in this time?
You could miss your flight then buy an additional ticket.

Uno, do, tre

Let's see

Me:

>speak 3 languages fluently (plus 1 decently)
>been to 45 countries
>fucked a girl from every continent
>Not a music Guy

Am I Mr. Worldwide now?

>>1258629
Speaking three languages is normal in Europe, lol.

>>1257854
Also, thought I might add that I'll be driving up there from the south, and plan on staying there over the 4th of July weekend.

>>1257854
Nothing special here, just go for a dip in the lakes and leave. Maybe check out the slums of detroit while you're there though be careful

Go up north to Makinaw or Traverse City

>>1257301
Do you know what you're getting into? Have you planned everything?

>going to a 4th world country

>>1257301
bring food and oil

>Would 20 hours be pushing it?
No
>Friday, check the luggage in at the hotel without getting a room,
HAHAHAHHAHA good fucking luck, you MIGHT be able to get away with it by going "oh shit I booked through X and put in the wrong date" but that is unlikely. No one will take your bag without a room reserved because it is a huge security and insurance risk
>until my room would be available at 3 P.M.
I'd be more worried about getting mugged or gutted than anything if you are trying to stay up 19 hours partying

>>1256986
Well, it would be closer to two days partying since I would work that Friday before leaving. I've been to Vegas before and coming from the East Coast with the time change and adrenaline of being there you kind of lose track of time, and walk out of a strip club at 8 a.m. thinking it's still midnight.

Are you sure it wouldn't work? When I checked stuff for a few hours before they didn't ask for any proof I was even staying at the hotel, so that's what gave me the idea. I mean dropping a few hundred on an extra night isn't the end of the world but that could be money spent towards a bottle Saturday or gambling rather than 5 hours of shitty sleep and would amplify the hype of the trip.

>>1256983
I have checked luggage the same day. Situation like changed hotels, which means checking out of one by 11, and left my luggage at the new hotel until it was ready.

You can store your bags here in Vegas.

There are some places close to El Nido that might be good for you. I wouldn't stay in El Nido itself more than a few days (to do the tours), the insanely fast growth has made it a bit shitty. But the whole region is amazing and there are more remote places around that you can stay.

Check out Tao Philippines actually. You can fly into Coron, then take the Tao trip for 4-5 nights down to El Nido for maybe 500USD. I travelled around the world for 1.5 years and that was hands-down the best week of my time, it's seriously amazing.

Also, the women are ugly in Palawan, spend time in Manila or Cebu (the latter is cheaper I think) taking advantage of the insane filipina thirst for white cock.

Oh, and boracay isn't great. It's the place you go if you want to party with drunk western backpackers like you would in Thailand. If you don't care about that, there are lots of other cooler places to go.

you should probably wait until Duterte kills all the isis sandniggers and drug dealers. It'l be a lot nicer then.

>>1256804
Yes, at any major station you should be able to purchase a new one at a recharge/ticket machine.

So memes aside, how is Kyoto actually? I have wanted to go there for as long as I can remember, I know it will be crowded and full of tourists, but that unfortunate but inescapable fact aside, how did those of you who have been there like it?

>>1256895
Kyoto is nice.

Women only travel to get fucked by foreigners anyway so what's the problem

Some tips:

Some countries are worse than others, places like Egypt, Morocco and Turkey aren't very safe for a solo woman, but many places are completely fine. Just look it up in google and see what other travellers have said about it, there will have been many people gone to places before you and happy to give information. Certain cultures are better than others, best not to generalise though.

Most countries will have female only dorms, this gives you a safe and cheap sleeping environment while also being somewhat social.

Hitchiking in general isn't a common thing around the world, many countries have different customs about it, some places people will happily pick you up but expect a fare for the travel, in some countries people will never pick up hitchhikers etc... Hitchiking is almost always one of the more dangerous ways to travel, maybe its good for a journey or two that you cant find any other route for, but even as a male I don't like to hitchike much just because there is a much higher likelihood that some wackjob will pick you up. (That being said, many people here have hitchiked across long distances solo and never had any trouble, but I personally wouldn't take the chance).

Make a group of friends at a hostel and try and travel with them for a bit, travelling in groups (even if your all female) is far safer than travelling solo.

>Does anyone maybe have some tips on travelling as a woman or recommendations on where to go/stay?

I'd give you some recommendations if you want, although I'm no girl I do have lots of travel experience. What were you thinking about? Somewhere western, somewhere with lots of backpackers, somewhere cheap, somewhere remote, somewhere very adventurous?

Probably when I visited Dubai for the first time. I kept being told at the time how it was the richest place in the world with the most advanced everything. So I had high expectations.

Turns out I dislike Arabs.

When I went to India. I have been to many shitholes and am used to them, but India was just another level of shithole.

>>1239415
Dubai is a legit shithole though, and the people are scum, so I can see where you're coming rom

>How does a tourist actually get to Antarctica.
$$$$$
You take a cruise, which after it crosses the Drake Passage (vomit passage) circumnavigates the Antarctica peninsula for wildlife and glacier watching, and finally you'll zodiac it over to walk on it. That's about it. It's very expensive for good reason. You'll likely be on a boat with a couple sciencey types who are good company, wealthy retired couples esp sailing enthusiasts, and photographers.
http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=1327

There's a few extra things you can do, like overnight at a base for $13k, for the night. Yea, bucket list only.

>>1258055
Not-OP/different Anon here.

Based on the limited research I've done, and the very rough calculations, the cost of a trip to Antarctica is very similar to a trip to Bhutan.

To me, the cruise & the walk-around would be more than worth it to me. Just being able to step foot on Antarctica & seeing some penguins is more than enough for me.

Can you actually hike to the south pole?

That would maybe last you a month, at most two, depending on how much you cheap it out. In Scandinavian countries you can sleep anywhere legally outdoors, in others it's more iffy. Shouldn't you consider couchsurfing though? It sounds very much like what you would need.

Lastly I hope you don't mean you have been 4 months in Europe already. If you try to overstay your 90 days inside Schengen you will have potentially very troublesome consequences.

>>1257994
I'm a British citizen so no worries there. I've been in the UK 3 months and France 1 month. Interesting about Scandinavia, sounds like an ideal place to travel if it weren't for all the immigrants.

I budget about 6 to 8 euro per day when I'm hitchhiking/camping in Europe, and that includes a pint at the end of the day.
Of course it can be draining living on that little, so you'll want to splurge once in a while.

i spent a summer in santo domingo once and have been to punta cana a few times. punta cana will have golf/scuba and shit, it's just a bunch of all inclusive resorts and whatnot like most other carribean spots. santo domingo can be dicey if you dont know anyone and i doubt theres enough shit to do for more than a couple days but make sure you check out the crazy cross-shaped museum trujillo built and the old town which i believe is the oldest in the americas. i always thought port au prince might be interesting if you wanted to get adventurous. im sure there are lest touristy beach spots than punta cana some other anon can recommend. buy the sugar cane and chew on it and try the fruits they sell called lemoncitos

>>1257968
>santo domingo can be dicey if you dont know anyone

Would I be ok walking around local markets/downtown areas by myself in the day? I don't want to spend the whole trip stuck in a gated resort, I like wandering around. (mid 20s, white, basic spanish)

>>1257975
yeah youd definitely be fine in the touristy areas. apparently theyre spelled lemoncillo and called spanish limes here. if that's what you want to do you should see if there's a beach place closer to santo domingo than punta cana

>>1257756
man everyone hates tuk-tuk drivers

I was at a border a few days ago and they wanted 10x a fair rate, and wouldn't budge a goddamn cent as they were he only option for transport (funny that)

they were charging Chinese 50x the going rate too, racist cunts

I walked 8km with my bags just to spite them, figure they just keep going up and up until someone decides to walk

and the vermin harass you as well, especially in vietnam
sometimes they even try to obstruct your path; and commonly they just grab your bag and take it to their ride

the frequency tuk tuk steal bags is such that anyone who tries it with me gets winded, two weeks ago in Phnom pehn I saw some tourists at night load their bags onto a tuk tuk for him to just take off without them

gas them all

>>1257756
I try to lie both abroad and at home, but I just can't.

You can get laid easily if you pretend that you're interested in everything she is passionate about. Nothing drops panties quicker than just agreeing.

But I'm old. I've had plenty of good lays, not tortured by that why must I still be a virgin feel. I tend to attract girls with vastly different opinions than me on everything, the things I'd have to agree with to charm them are painful to say, and so I just don't think it's worth it anymore. I prefer whores now to be honest.

what is the big appeal of SEA? i picture a bunch of fat dutch men fucking 12 yr olds

its in a war right now

socotra is supposedly safe. Don't know if you can go without passing through other parts of yemen tho

>>1257383
what is the houthi stance on tourists from obscure balkan nations

Also, I'll be traveling alone. I won't know what to do with myself if I go to a club alone, so social interaction will only happen if I get lucky on tinder or something. Mainly interested in walking around the city, enjoying the architecture, people watching, maybe a museum, and trying good affordable food.

>leaving America on the 4th of July

FUCK DRUMPF AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE

>>1257332
So you're likely departing from NYC or Miami right?
3day, 20h flight time total, half day to recover from the jetlag unless you can afford business... that's a full day at the location to actually do stuff...
Honestly that narrows it down to Edinburgh or Zurich as they can be done in a day but neither of them are very affordable.
