I'm going to Perth in 2 weeks.
I checked the temperature and its around 20 degrees Celcius.
I live in a tropical country and have never experienced cold seasons.
What clothes do I wear in this kind of temperature?
Background story: Landed a good job so I'm bringing my family out of the country for the first time
Shorts and a t-shirt. I'm Finnish tho, so I start sweating profusely at 10 degrees celcius.

Perth is pretty toasty cunt, it is getting into our winter though so you might have to wear a jumper every now and then. Check out the summer temps though
>>1243261
lol 10 degrees must be super cold
>>1243287
will the jacket in picrelated be out of place? I just bought something like that :(
Grab some popcorn!

I managed 2 seconds before I thought "Tweaker". Couldn't watch the rest due to urge to start punching my screen.

That is one disgusting human being. I wish eugenics wasn't still frowned upon.
And of course he wanted to stay in Japan.

What are the must do things whilst visiting in your opinion, apart from coffee shops and the red light district?
>>1243035
>apart from coffee shops and the red light district?
Those are the things you need to avoid most
>>1243038
Anything you would recommend to do instead?
>>1243035
Go to Haarlem instead
I'm going backpacking in central America for a month (read: 25 days) over the summer. Given this length of time what backpack should I get? In terms of size, type. How much should I bring?
How many changes of clothes would you guys bring? Are there laundromats common down there?
Also: how much would a solid drunken bender cost?
>>1242713
One big enough to fit the amount of clothes you'll be bringing? What kinda answer were you expecting?
>>1242715
Don't ever reply to my thread in that tone again you little bitch
>>1242718
Fuck off back to /b/
I'm an American going to Europe (Tenerife, Dublin and Amsterdam to be exact) and I have a pretty specific question, will my American drivers' license (New York specifically serve as a proper proof of age or will I have to cart my passport everywhere and worry about losing it while hammered?
>>1242510
anything with a picture and date on it will do
>>1242510
That will do in the netherlands. How old are you? Theyre not so strict with drinking age restrictions here unless you look like a -16 teenager.
Also, the legal drinking age here is 18. So if youre 21+ and look the part theyll probably never ask you for any ID.
>>1242756
That surprises me to hear. When I visited the Netherlands three years ago, pretty much every place I went insisted on seeing my passport instead whenever I showed my I.D.
Hey, I've been looking to answer this question for a bit and pulled up nothing. Perhaps someone with experience would be able to help.
Well, I've found this island called "Pitcairn Island" which is small tiny community. How does some move there? Currently I'm residing in Canada, I wonder how someone would move there.I found houses for rent, but how would finding an occupation work out if the population is -60?
Not so much a travel question as a relocation. But also considering doing some island hoping this fall.
Pitcairn is a dodgy-as-fuck, incestuous paedophilic shit hole that anyone would do well to avoid... If you want remote, try somewhere like St. Helena or one of the Scottish Isles which at least have a functioning society.
>>1242434
>pitcairn
You'll get molested.
>>1242525
Or do some molesting.
Swings and roundabouts
Looking for a nice quiet, non-crowded beach on the Jersey Shore with enough stuff to do besides the beach itself. Also some place where these kinds of people don't hang out
Tried going to Long Branch last year but there was nothing to do besides the beach (which was crowded) and a small shopping area filled with overpriced crap.
>>1242431
Cape May. Right on the southern tip. Has historical houses. For more action go to Wildwood.
>>1242687
Anything closer? Would take me at least 4 hours to reach either
>>1242831
Where are you starting from?
is traveling alone insightful/fun?
and tips/resources you have for someone who wants to travel complete alone?
>>1242393
To an extent it's fun. But if you're like most people, the more you travel, the more you'll wish someone was at your side to share the experience. Even if you're not like most people, it still gets lonely.
it's like being born again
>>1242393
I usually end up having a lot of fun traveling alone. Traveling in a group larger than 3 can get complicated pretty quick unless you plan shit out properly beforehand
>land in Belgium
>train to Paris
>fly to Asturias
......
Where do I go next? I'll have 4 days.
Lisbon? Southern France?
Help me out /trv/
Bruges, Barcelona, Valencia
>>1241848
Are you in Vienna right now?
Then you could go to Venice (~7 hour ride), Bratislava (~1 hour), Budapest (~3 hour), Prague (~2,5 hour) or other austrian destinations like Salzburg (~1,5 hour) or Graz (~2 hour).
>>1241882
Oh, you're in Asturia, not Austria. My bad lol
I checked in to a 6 person room in a hostel for a week and reception offhandedly told me that there would be nobody else in my room until the weekend.
Normally that would be a good deal for a private room but I'm trying to work on my social autism and meet people. Would you request to change rooms?
i hate empty dorms... makes you feel like a total social reject..
I have money for privates, I chose to stay in a dorm to meet people.
>>1241826
Rooms are for sleeping, go to the common area and sink beers with people
>>1241826
I got an empty dorm at a hostel in Paris. It also helps that the 2 bunk beds in my room were missing the top bed, so instead of a 4-room dorm, it became a 2 dorm and 3 Koreans came in, but left when they realized the bunk beds had missing top bunks.
Didn't care, got good sleep and masturbated the night away after hanging out with a Frenchie I haven't seen in 2 years
How much do you pack when you want to travel long term?
For example, three or four months in India and Southeast Asia.
I want to pack light, but I also don't want to visit a laundromat three times a week. Or keep finding new laundromats, for that matter. How do you find that balance?
>>1241227
It's India and SEA. You're allowed to be smelly, It's really all par for the course.
>>1241227
how light? a carryon suitcase? a checked one?
Has anyone ever done the Appalachian trail? I'm thinking of doing a thru hike next March/April with about $5000. Any tips?
bump for interest
>>1240882
There's usually a couple anons over on /out/ that have done it.
>>1240882
I did the Georgia-to-North Carolina section. It's 80-something miles and beautiful, but the whole trail is pretty similar. A thru-hike would take over a year probably, a lot of people section hike. Start off at the pre-trail at Amicalola Falls, pretty sure those are the highest falls in GA. Walk up the stairs, hike to ste start at Springer Mountain, then to the youth hostel at Blood Mtn. From there you hike to Bly Gap for a few days.
Really do recommend section hiking if you aren't experienced, it's not like you'll die out there but it's discouraging. There's a tree out in front of the hostel at Blood Mountain (only building the trail runs through) with boots thrown over every branch. Like 1/2 of all people who set out to through-hike quit here, and it's a tradition to throw your boots into the Quitter Tree.
I make around $1000 a month online. I live in an extremely expensive city where this is not enough at all (doesn't even cover rent). To make more I would have to get a wageslave job which I'd rather not. My job is simple and quick and I don't want to work more.
What city can I move to where the cost of living is very cheap, internet speed is fast, and the lifestyle isn't a complete third-world culture shock? Somewhere where my monthly $1k would cover
>healthy food and gym
>rent
>internet
>food
Also where it's safe and I won't be trafficked, I'm a tiny girl lel.
Any advice welcome, thanks everyone.
>>1240736
Depends on where you're from, among other things. You could get by very comfortably in a secondary/non-resort town in Thailand, for example ($1K/mo would be doable but tight in foreigner favorites Chiang Mai, Bangkok, or best-wired islands). But the authorities are ambivalent at best about digital nomads and you won't qualify for legal residence of more than six months per year on tourist visas and exemptions. Overstay is expensive and raises the risk of getting banned from re-entry. It would be pretty easy to divide your year between Thailand and Cambodia or perhaps Thailand and Vietnam (which offers the cheapest food in Southeast Asia, with plenty of healthy options), but the cheaper you go, the more "third-world"/culture shocking it gets. Vietnam is pretty intense/in your face, and Cambodia is still quite poor and messed up.
>>1240754
Hmm, thanks for the input anon.
I think I could mind the culture shock, but it would be much easier if I had someone with me. I'd be doing this completely alone. Is there anywhere I could meet people to pair up with and do this? I'm too scared of meeting a creep to just search for people online.
>Depends on where you're from, among other things.
London, UK. Originally Eastern Europe.
there are many options that fit that criteria, it comes down to
- what kind of place you want to live in
- how well would you fit in with the locals, ie would you be an obvious anomaly there (arguable, but i personally think this is important, especially if alone)
i drew this line, from Baltic to Adriatic sea, I'd say these countries are all viable options
>>1240759
>Originally Eastern Europe.
do you wanna go back there or not? it seems the least culture-shocky.
Do you have any cool pictures or know anything interesting about the Paris Catacombs?
>>1239432
you have to wait in line for two hours no matter what time you arrive there
>>1239444
No, if you come one hour before opening you will get in.
>>1239448
either way, you have to wait longer than than the time you'll spend inside the catacombs
not really worth it desu
I'm staying here like a week. What's the best stuff to do around here? Restaurants, bars, etc.
>>1239333
I just leave a quick reply.
>stay west of Terminal de buses Santiago
>bars, restaurants and stuff are around the universidad de chile and universidad catolica subway station
>same area is Castillo Hidalgo, worth the little hike for some nice pics
>best view, shopping and lot of nice restaurants are located at the Sky Costanera (tallest building in SA) it's a short walk from the Tobalaba subway station
>consider a day trip to Valparaiso/Vina del Mar. it's a 2h bus ride from the Universidad de Santiago metro station (Terminal de buses Santiago) and the price per ride is about $3. Just book a return trip from turbus or Pullman at their counter a day in advance so you won't get stuck there.
>>1239353
>>stay west of Terminal de buses Santiago
that should be a east... Too much cuban rum but hey I still can type.
