I slaved as a chef for six years.

Just go work and don't waste your money for cigarettes, expensive poser cars and other useless stuff.

200 euro a night? In Vegas this doesn't even last an hour.

However most of the money I spent is for flights and hotels as I just fly business class and use 5 star hotels.

But with just 3000 Euro per week you can have really nice travel experiences.

No need to be rich!

>>1290216
Slave in various jobs, live with parents while doing so, then airbnb my entire trip.

I also strongly prefer hiking and cheap self made food to retarded tourist experiences like the eiffel tower or $100 meals.

I am slowly reaching the maximum amount of time I can trvel but I still want more.

>4 years ago went on 1 month long trip
>3 years ago go on 1 month long trip
>2 years ago go on 2 one month long trips
>this year go on 3 two week trips

I just got back and I am wanting to go on another trip. I need to fucking stop but I cant help it I get so bored of my daily routine.

>how do you know when to quit?
Once I don't feel like it anymore. Pretty straightforward.

I love travelling but there just aren't that many places left that I wanna go to

Been to Canada + US
did a big tour of Europe
did all of East Asia

there's nowhere left that interests me

Bump. I'm going to Manila for a week in December. Most of the Trip Advisor sites are historical churches, malls, and gardens. I'll try a few of those, but surely there are bigger exciting things to see (and not party stuff either).

Any dark tourism sites around there? Bataan Death march tour or something extreme like that?

There are the remains of an old Spanish fort on Corregidor and Intramuros in Manila. That's about it unless you get out into the country

If you visit the phillippines dont visit manila, theres literally nothing to do there, its just like visiting a city in a different language, best places to go are the islands, just make sure you dont go too far south, pretty dangerous down there, me and a friend went to an island called Isla Verde, real nice island with some real nice people plenty to do there also

Lol went to one in Lithuania at 18 and just stared a tities from a distance with sunglasses
I recommend

Best way to see the park is backpacking through it off the tour trails but that'll take more than a couple days and you need decent equipment. It's beautiful anyway tho

>going to a national park east of the continental divide
don't do it anon

The wedding is on wakenaam island. We'll only be there for a few days because the family will just lock us in - preventing much sight-seeing.

Si

*Sí

For native English speakers, yes. There are other languages that might be easier based on your personal learning style but of the European languages it's your best bet.

Question please.
I'm thinking of renting electric bicycle in kawaguchi lake to tour the area, but I didn't see any bicycle parking spot anywhere in there unlike big cities.
What should I do with the bike if i want to take a stop for a while and walk a bit ? Is it ok to leave it in roadside or maybe put it somewhere near car park or what ?

Any experiences with maid cafes? i'm going to Japan soon and want to take some photos with the girls. It's allowed?.

Just take a bike lock/chain and possibly try to leave something (a note?) to say "I will be back soon, please do not move!"

>How important is it to keep an exact itinerary of bus/train/etc paths to and from each destination?

I have all of my various excursions over 2.5 weeks in Kyoto and Tokyo planned, reserved where necessary and pinned on a Google map. Can I just check the buses when I'm there and ask for help if necessary? I don't want to waste too much time lost or be a shit constantly asking poor strangers for assistance, but at the same time I've been told that the public transport system is incredibly easy to navigate if you know the destination.

Paris because France is based

Barcelona would be the best city ever if it wasn't full of Catalans.

Stay in some of the bungalows on Phi Phi and hang out in some of the beach bars. You will meet lots of people. If all else fails there are some nice Thai women who can keep you company for a fee.

>>1288468
You will get lonely when you travrl solo sometimes, that is just a fact.

You will also experience alot of amazing moments with new people. Higher highs, lower lows. Just give it a try.

Hostels are great places to meet new people. And talk to people straight away, and you wont get cold feet

>>1288468
You can't stop the loneliness, but it's all at the beginning and then you just get over it. It's like this excitement>loneliness>boredom>enjoying the trip

So don't worry about it, if you can't handle it, go to places that speak good english and have people who you can easily be friends with.

Ljubljana is a beautiful city.

The seaside restaurants weren't crowded at all when I went there this summer.

>>1288051
It is the nature of cities to be crowded. Try low season

Whenever I see pictures like this, I always wonder how fast the train is moving.

Reasons I ask this:
>the train is clearly over-capacity
>the occupants aren't afraid of hanging off a moving train
Which leads me to believe that the train must be moving slow enough to not scare the shit out of its passengers.

Seems worth a visit. I've heard Basque cuisine is the best in Europe. I want to visit San Sebastian.

>>1284595
Tapas were overrated, Spanish food in general is not very good; but you guys have a superior drinking culture.

Beautiful countryside, I found the cities less interesting than I expected and I don't know why or think I can justify those feels. There are tons of cool cultural events, I liked that a lot.

Guys were fun to hang out with, they're funny bros. Girls seemed kinda snotty.

>Spain
Aesthetically it's probably the most beautiful country in Europe, both in its nature and in its villages and cities. I love the spectrum of cultures, cuisine, and architecture. The best part about the nature is the diversity, from the hardwood forests and snowcapped mountains in the north to the deserts and mediterranean forests in the south.
>its people
Generally speaking, I've found them to be very standoffish. In my experience, they won't even make eye contact or respond when you say 'buenas dias' to a stranger on the street. Hardly anyone speaks any other languages, not even French or Italian. Moreover, hitchhiking is next to impossible in Spain, and that's my main standard for judging people.

50 litres with special gear and tight packing
depends where you go and if you have acces to laundry machines

-casual street clothes
-hike and outdoors clothes
-somewhat stylish clothes

Clothes + shoes + toiletries will quickly add up. I'm doing 7 days and 35L isn't enough anymore.

>Clothes + shoes + toiletries will quickly add up. I'm doing 7 days and 35L isn't enough anymore.
What the hell? I'm doing a month with 35l right now and could probably do less. Got six changes of clothes in there and a big toiletry bag, as well as some chargers and kindle and phone. Also socks and undies
Shoes I'll give you but there's no reason to have more than 2 pairs and you can always hang it off the back

If you aren't camping I honestly don't know what these people carry in 60L bags

I have traveled to almost every area/ state in Mexico. What non-magical places are worth visiting? Have you ever done a wine tour in Baja, or what's it like in general? Que pedo con las mexicanas?

>>1269482
>wine tour in Baja
I hear those are pretty cool but filled with old american couples. I've done the Queretari wine and cheese tour, and I'd recommend that if you're in Mexico City and up for a comfy drive there.

>non-magical places worth visiting
sayulita, zipolite, mina de naica (chihuahua), hiking in Nuevo Leon, obviously cenotes in Quintana Roo and Yucatan

>a México general
If you don't mind, I'll post here everyday until I actually go there.
