OP sounds like they are not actually catholic.

>>1226011
Nope, I mostly think it's interesting for the culture and history. I want to say I'm spiritual and not religious but that's the corniest teenage girl in India praying to crystals bullshit explanation out there.

el camino santiago is probably the most famous in europe, infact it's the only one i can think of.
you aint doing it in a weekend though, unless you cheat and just take public transport right to the shrine.
but then you wont be a real pilgrim, lad.

No. Don't come here.

Chicago is in those states. I reckon Kentucky has Bourbon tour. Minneapolis if you are a funk or Prince fan. Detroit for auto and Motown. That's all I got.

Cancel your car
Use the hotel bus for transfer or use an uber

>I already payed the hotel for 3 nights and there are 3 people waiting me to get a car.

Why the fuck do you need a car in vegas?

>They dont have more money to pay for a bus or etc.

Nigga how the fuck do you not have 5 dollars

I've never needed a big cash deposit when I rent a car. How old are you? Did you use a credit card? How can you guys afford a rental car, but not a bus?

If it gets worse, you can probably cancel 2/3 of your nights and get refunded. I've never prepaid for hotel stays in the states.

I'm in San Diego. That's the deal :/
And its 4500 dollars
Or paying 400 cash to the security and 1500 deposit.

>Would you fly cattle class for 8 hours?
Yes, who cares?

>>1225222
Sure, it won't be any more cramped or anything than the other airlines in economy, it'll just be without the free food/blanket which I can live without if the price is good enough. This has become possible because the new Boeing 737 MAX is so fuel efficient that budget flights are finally viable, not because they've found some new way to cut costs and make it considerably more horrible than current transatlantic flights.

I doubt Ryanair will be flying new planes

Far west texas is where the mountains are. Honestly just go to SW colorado or New Mexico, texas is a fucking wasteland.

Try to become a 30-pint man.

had to make each stop count since I have limited time. I'd love nothing more than to spend a week at cantillon/drie fonteinen but financially/time-wise it didn't make sense.

Just did a two week trip from Edinburgh, Berlin, Prague and Amsterdam. AMA

no

I'm not a loser

>>1224975
No because I like many other people on this board realize you have to be 18 or older to post here.

>>1224975
you need to do it. especially if you're scared of it

IMO places where English or German are primary languages tend to be pretty boring and expensive. With the possible exception of Cape Town, but then safety is a pain in the ass there.

Top places I'd actually want to live:

1. Taipei, Taiwan: Friendliest people out of any 1st world big city in the world, bar none. Gorgeous petite girls everywhere. People are generally fairly educated and usually speak at least very basic english, so it's not hard to get around, and Uber works too. Amazing food, super clean, lots of nature everywhere.

2. Medellin/Periera, Colombia: Perfect weather every day of the year, the temperature doesn't really fluctuate much. Women are possibly the most beautiful in the world, apart from perhaps parts of Brazil or Eastern Europe. No one speaks english but with a few months of dedicated study you can be very proficient in Spanish, and it won't hinder you much after a month of study.

>>1224918
Isn't Medellin pretty dangerous?

Any suggestions in the states? I have arrest warrants so I can't go overseas :(

You don't need to worry about jet lag if the maximum time difference is three hours, but you should check to see if the youth hostels have limitations on Americans staying in them, some are just for foreigners. The museums in DC are really top class. Skip Austin or Seattle and spend an extra day in DC or NYC if you're interested in culture and history.

>>1224896

Wow, hostels are a steal! Most that I'm seeing are really quite nice, and something like $30 a night. That might really beat a shitty hotel room, I appreciate the suggestion.

>>1224895
Cut out Austin. It will be unbearably hot during that time of year. 100 degrees F and 100% humidity every single day, it's awful. And there's nothing for a tourist to do in the summer, you'll just sit inside in the air conditioning all day in reality.

I'd say cut out Seattle too, though I lived there for many years and the climate might be great then. Seattle's tourist crap is pretty boring. I don't know what you're talking about doing in Queen Anne, it's just a hill. Pike's place is just an overpriced tourist market where they throw some fish around. The real amazing part of Seattle is out in the mountains and the lakes, but you will need at least a few days and some extra energy for that.

So I'd say skip Austin and Seattle, and then make it NYC -> DC -> Miami, so that you get the relaxing place at the end. Make a connecting flight via Seattle if you want, but don't waste time on such a short trip there.

Not related but did you overland through the Northern Triangle? You got survival tips?

What the fuck? I thought Nicaragua would be like El Salvador, Honduras and parts of Guatemala: cheap and no foreigners. Not that I've ever been to any of these countries.

>>1224880

He's a retard.

Grenada and San Juan del Sur are the two most touristic cities in all of Nicaragua. Take a motorbike ten minutes outside of either city and the tourists will all but disappear.

I rented a motorcycle in León and rode to Cerro Negro to climb the volcano. Once I got outside of the central market area, I didn't see a single gringo until I got to the park entrance.

So far as Managua goes, it's the capital and largest city in the country. Hardly any tourists go there because it has a reputation for being relatively rough.

It's sort of like going to Paris and complaining about all the tourists.

If you aren't american think carefully; you wont be able to get a US tourist visa waiver for 5 years

>>1225241
Unless you're able to get a concurrent passport

Lurking.

Did you try workaway? There are over 100 hosts in Japan, they speak english and you don't need to pay an organization.

>>1224629
Research Universities that have exchange programs in Japan. Focus your major on in demand Asia/Japan fields, or industries that export well. Like international business, supplemented with Japanese/Asian studies, or things like marketing, supply chain management, distribution and logistics, project management, construction management, also also with an Asian focus if possible. Whether language or studies. When you are in Japan on exchange focus on networking

>>1224629
Japan is a very crazy country, I would recommend a work away so you can see that it's an okay country for someone who is not Japanese

I personally fucking love work away, so much better than wwoof

Some friends of mine got Thomas Cook to give them one-way tickets from Edinburgh to Salzburg when they did this. It's a long shot, but if you find yourself near an airport...

I've never hitched the Chunnel, but the ferry at Dover is straightforward enough, though wait times tend to be long. It's just important to let drivers know that they don't have to pay extra to pick you up. My sign usually says something like "Room for one more? No extra cost!"
