Lax immigration policies are exactly the reason you DON'T want to move to a place

panama is really easy, if you have a pension of over 1k a month, or are willing to make an investment/bank deposit of 15k you can get residency

ecuador is 25k investment
philipines is 10k investment if you make 1k a month from pension, otherwise 50k

Print out a hotel reservation from booking.com or whatever site, cancel it right out if necessary.

There, you have an address and a contact in Vietnam now.

It's better to have your paperworks neat and full, commie officials like that.

>>1290294
It's my home address I don't have, and they for some reason need, along with family members?

>>1290302
How do you not know this.

In London.

Can maybe be more specific if you are.

>>1290174
where are the hipsters at night

>>1290226
Soho/piccadilly if you want to waste a lot of money like a retard.

If you wanna actually chill, get hooked up with some weed and go smoke on the green at southbank or something.

Where are you from anon? And, can you show proof of insurance that would cover your rental, like your awesome geico or allstate policy? That might save you on part of the insurance at least. The friends together roadtrip can also be annoying, because adding a second driver really runs the bill up.

I just kayakcom'd the luxury and SUV category only and saw major brands like hertz and enterprise a little less than your quote, but that is without taxes and all. One trick I do is to find prices on the websites, and then call a location directly. There is sometimes less expensive cars when you pick them up outside of the airport locationsa and vice versa. So...depending where you are staying...you might get a Uber to your hotel on say South Beach, or take Tri-Rail to Metrorail and get closer to your hotel before an Uber, and then do without a car for 3-4 days if you are staying in a neighborhood that you are only going to roll out of bed and drink or swim (South Beach), and then pick up your car at Dadeland location when ready for it.

Miami DOES require a car. You simply cannot do only public transport and ride through downtown, onto Key Biscayne, through Brickell to Coconut Grove, S. Miami and around in the Gables, which are all the places you want to visit/dine/explore. Public transport is both hot and sweaty, inefficient, and at times, unsafe because you are only riding with the dregs of society who can't afford a car in a car-mandatory city. With careful planning it is doable, just not ideal.

One of your roadtrip can and should be to hit up mexican food in homestead, snorkel in Key Largo, drink in Islamorada or take out a charter fishing boat, and then down to Mallory Square sunset in Key West with all of its glorious weirdness. Eat seafood there, explore your literary or gold diving historical bug. A day trip to do swamp things across the Glades and the national parks might be alright too, combined with some Calle Ocho or miami foodie tour stuff.

Sorry I just read October....this is the beginning of the good weather and when the tourists start arriving, so maybe your quotes are higher than the one I just ran. Look at a AAA membership for discounts. I get car rental coupons in every bill, and as well with the Allstate bills.

>>1290152
Dont buy the overpriced salt water taffy off the highway on the coast.

I was there in 2015 in old town hostwl in Tblisi, if Georgi is still working there say hi for me (he is a super friendly person and will tell you all about Georgia even the parts he hasn't been but knows from literature) ask for local food places which are super cheap and super good. Everyone was kind of willing to give you directions or advice but beware that if they offer "tours" it usually is very amateurish but it also costs almost nothing that it doesn't really matter.

Ask around with other travellers where they're going since they might know nice excursions. This was how I got to this place: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g1596951-d3321939-Reviews-Nato_Lado_Guesthouse-Signagi_Kakheti_Region.html
They're quite friendly and offer plenty of booze, it's best to travel here with others since Signagi is pretty empty but you can go for some heavy drinking. I walked over a car there funnily enough. Along the border with Georgia and Azerbeidjan there is an interesting walk with some monastery ruins and interesting monasteries.

I also really enjoyed traveling north along the military highway to the mountains as they were very beautiful for (day)hikes.

There were really many places to go to and the ones I mentioned were nice for the price they cost but they were also kind of low quality in many ways but it was onw of the best holidays I ever had because of the friends I made, but that was maybe just luck on my part.


An interesting side travel might be to go to Yerevan by night train (and drink a lot in said train) and explore Armenia for a week.

Georgia itself can bw thoroughly be explored in about 3 weeks in my opinion.

I hope you can use this information as it is kind of unstructured but I'm on my phone so I can't really neaten it up.

Peace, love and let me know if you need any more information.

i'd recommend a day trip to gori (stalin's hometown)

Borjomi has the best water I've ever hand, but Georgian mineral waters in general really delicious! Try em out! Ushguli seems like an interesting place, it's the strange tower village.

Wrong board?

Also forgot to mention it but I'm not a nativve English speaker so maybe some English teachng programs might be hard to do for me

>I don't wanna pay for the food or accomodation.
Noone wants to babysit your ass for free. If you want a picture with shitskin orphans for your facebook page, you have to pay.

There are no volunteer opportunities in Asia that do not cost over a hundred dollars. Most will cost over five hundred dollars.

You will pay the "volunteer" organization their $500 or $1,000 fee, and they will provide you with meals and accommodation (most of the time), as well as transportation to and from the volunteer site.

If you want a "real" volunteer opportunity in Asia, go to Mother Teresa's mission church in Calcutta, India. You just show up and they will give you something to do. You can read more about it online.

Is that why India is so poor? Do they have to pay to poo in loo?

Coming from the US it would be worth it if they are clean. We have so many degenerates in the US that can't figure out how to use the bathroom without leaving it a mess. Sharing toilets with poor people is miserable.

>>1290114
this

while I hate to pay 40c to use a freaking toilet, I also hate the vile condition of many australian public restrooms

it also discourages willful homelessness

Well, do you like the outdoors or not?

>>1289967
I love the wilderness and camping, but without anyone to share the experiences with, seems like it would get old pretty fast.

I feel bad about being socially retarded until I see people like OP hyperventilating at the idea of being separated from a social setting for more than 24 hours. I'm glad I'm not tied down to other people's needs and limitations.

Also, does anyone know where that pic is?

>>1289906
It's not like i've never been alone for a long time before you know, but those aren't exactly great memories
So do do you just stay alone the whole trip and go sightseeing then ?

I mean i keep hearing "yeah you should go abroad and meet wonderful new people" and so on propaganda, but in real life tourists are always in groups

>>1289906
I concur whole heartedly with this post.

The pic is in Slovenia.

>>1289904
Just take 400 micrograms of LSD and go lay out in the street. They will find you.

>>1289904
They exist, but you don't deserve to go to them. I arrived to Berlin and went to a witch-house meetup in a rundown building on the eastern end of Prenzlauerberg, got some cheap keta and E, and kept going til next afternoon. The people that were there are not the type to beg on the internet for advice. They just sort of showed up

>>1290167
Whoa m8 you're so fuckin hardcore lmao

The initial plan is to take a flight from NYC to Seville, work our way south toward Morocco, then work our way toward Malaga, finally to take a flight back home. We are counting on the first day and the last day effectively being for packing and travel. Politesage

I think it's a shame to try to do all that in just 10 days. Don't underestimate travel times in Morocco.

>>1289813
Just asking, but why are you so intent on flying ANA?

>>1289838
Why would you fly United if you didn't have to?

These flight plans are just so fucking retarded, absolutely none of them route through the major airport right next to me.

>>1289848
>These flight plans are just so fucking retarded, absolutely none of them route through the major airport right next to me.

Then I guess you're flying United....

>>1289807
sorry, not really.
i'm doing transiberian express thingy in a bit and will be hiking along lake Baikal.
make sure you read up on tick borne encephalitis which is prevalent

>>1289807
Go to Canada or Alaska, the same outdoors, cheaper, safer, and more fun. Siberia is hardcore outdoors shit.

>>1289807
