literally no jobs

what a shit tier degree it's almost up there with womens studies

who is going to go "wow this guy studied international tourism I best give him a job"

study something relevant or go straight into the work force and self educate. You'll move up 5xfaster than wasting 3 years studying a useless degree you could have self studied in 6months

>>1240133
Can you recommend me any good study then? Perhaps one where similar skills are needed

Sometime the ignorant and directionless adolescent rage of 4chan users is just too much.

We seriously need better moderation of this board or else we're going to end up like /int/.

Bali is for Australians what Cancun is for Americans or Ibiza is for Brits; there's a rich culture there but it's being slowly sodomized by drunken Aussie tourists wanting to get shitfaced in somewhere cheap and exotic.

>>1239949
Go to Lombok instead op

>>1239965
exacto, I am from Aus and anyone that goes to Bali is instant trash in my books

I am sure its a nice place but ruined by the tourists and drunk aussies

France is, unfortunately, closed for the summer. Try somewhere else like Disneyland. They have pointless moving things for the dimwitted / easily amused, you'll love it.

>>1239875
Fuck off France is close, you let niggers and mudshits in every day so they can fuck up your cities and ruin your culture. At least this anon won't shoot or bomb anything. Then again, maybe the muds should take out pretentious cunts like you.

>wants to travel without money to see some ridiculous art installation
>being horribly rude when asking
>getting super mad when no one bothers to come with useful advice

Good job perpetuating those stereotypes, Americunt.

Holy crap OP where is that?
I love cities and towns where the mountains are right in your face.

Looks to be Telluride, CO.

To OP, I'm very fond of towns in Western Massachusetts, including Northampton, (about two hours west of Boston), or the much smaller, very charming village of Shelburne Falls (pic related). Some cute little towns in Vermont, too. But these are all bookish, liberal places, so they might not be to your taste if you're a right-winger.

Same here, sadly I live in a flat country. Do you have any recommendations for places to visit?

>>1238837

Is the life expensive in Montreal compared to France ?

No, you'll find it much cheaper. You can get a shared apartment downtown (or close) for about 400$CDN. There's a group on FB where people look for flatmates.

Nice or cheap neighborhood to live in (without being in a ghetto) ?

I recommend you stick to a neighborhood that's central. Most French people live on the Plateau, but also consider the Miles End, St Henri, downtown and even the gay village (it's no that gay nowadays). Avoid west of downtown unless you want to constantly speak english. HoMa and Petite Patrie is also pretty trendy with students.

Nice things to see in the city ?

There's a lot, especially if you like nightlife. I won't even try to cover that here.

Maybe good banks to open an account ?

Check for banks that have agreements with French banks. Scotia Bank has an agreement with BNP, TD with Credit Agricole I believe. Other than that, just pick one that's convenient. Desjardins is everywhere.

Good luck with the job. Unemployment rate is at record lows right now, so you should find one pretty easily especially if you speak French already.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

My only issue is that unfortunately my bank doesn't have any agreements whith a canadian one but I'll manage then..

I'm really looking forward to be there now !

>>1239236

Have fun! What months are you going?

>>1238646
>When should I go there?

Obviously when the weather is nice. You can go basically from April till September.

If you go solo I would recommend Amsterdam. There are other nice cities in the Netherlands but in Amsterdam you will have the easiest time connecting with other people.

Also I recommend you look out for a food festival in Amsterdam. I think there are a few every year - they are awesome.

Costwise how is it?
Food accommodation etc.

>>1238705
There's something for every budget. How much are you looking to spend?

Thanks.

Also if your interested in the DPRK have a look here. >>>/p/3052889

If you are well traveled you have no reason to go t NYC. It is overrated. There will be nothing for you there. Why not go somewhere interesting?

>>1237531

nude cowboy in times square?

Hey OP, I'm going to NYC for the 2nd time next month. Do you have any recommendations for non-touristy things to see?

Take the Trans-Mongolian one instead

> I think it could be a good way to see rural Russia
Lol no. If you want to see rural Russia, go to any town that is not a regional capital at least 200 km from Moscow.

>>1235327
you see jack shit from the train. the lake-side stretch on the pic is like half an hour exception during the week-long journey

Go to Fiordland and West coast and Marlborough sounds and Southern alps
That's where most of the amazing scenery and hikes are
Go to Timaru for beaches, go to Dunedin for museums, go to Oamaru for historical stuff
At the bottom of NZ, aurora is barely visible at the rare moments when it comes
Go to Antarctica if you want to see aurora australis
I have never been outside of my island (south island) so I don't know what's in north island, but I assume there will be lots of Maori cultural stuff up there
t. nzanon

Queenstown
Milford Sound
Franz Josef or Fox Glacier
Wellington
Fiordland
Waiheke Island
Bay of Islands
Waitomo Caves

If you're going between April-September, go to the South Island and ski. Otherwise, the whole country is good, but North Island has far better beaches from November-March

Queenstown is THE absolute must if you're going to NZ. Do NOT skip it.

>>1234796

Go to Marlborough for the views and the wines. Picton is absolutely beautiful, and the wines really are world class. Also, the ferry from Picton to Wellington is a nice way to see some of the coasts.

Except for some parts of the capital cities, Central America is mostly not as dangerous as its reputation.

Mexico City isn't as bad as people think, either, mostly because it used to be a lot worse.

Probably quite a few muslim countries. Most of them are just fine safetywise, but people will think hurrdurr terrorists. As an example I went to West Bank and it was perfectly safe.

I can only personally speak for Kenya, but speaking to expats/other backpackers/aid workers I think most East Africa is fine. Obviously there's bad spots but too often people write off an entire country because of one tumultuous region. I probably wouldn't go partying around the Somali or South Sudanese borders but that leaves an area the size of Oregon to explore. Even Nairobi after dark is fine as long as you don't act like an idiot and stay away from the bad neighborhoods.

Sorry mate, I've never had any desire to visit Ohio.

Just go to the Famous Daves BBQ place in the Marina area across from the park's side entrance. It's actually pretty good for chain BBQ, and you can get a family platter served on a metal garbage pail lid (they're fancy like that).

>>1239662
Sandusky native here. You are thinking of the crunchy pickle right. It closed because the owners armed robbed some people

Depends on what you consider nearby. Luca an Sienna are a train-ride away, and they are both stunning cities, very different from Florence. Arezzo is also very nice if you're into lesser-known renaissance artists.

>>1239116
Thanks. Found a day trip to siena and pisa so that should be good. Any places i should definitely see inside florence. Better if free :)

>>1239308
there's tons of churches, some are free, some are paid, depending on the day or whatever. Just try your luck. The Duomo, the big one, is always free. The baptistery, right across, is not free. I haven't been inside that one, but I hear it's p.good. Then the museums, I guess Ufizzi deserves half a day. And the Piazzale Michelangelo (google it, not hard): it's just a bit out of the way, meaning if you walk around the city following the hordes of tourists you will never find it, but you can definitely get there on foot, or just take a quick bus. Nice view, atmosphere, etc. Just a big park, maybe take some food with you and chill.

lots of older men looking to meet younger women which is pretty weird

if you can pay for your cost of transport to and from ports and your food while on board there's a lot of men in their 50s and 60s with boats but not enough people to go overnight

>>1239048

Thanks, I've actually been following them for quite a while.

>>1239058

I feel like a lot of these owners are just looking for young women to creep on. I'm a dude but how do I avoid being raped at sea?
