WELL ARE YOU EVER IN LUCK
Here's my list of what I want to visit when I go, which won't be until april/may next year sadly. It's mostly just straight from wikivoyage.

Also, I assume you know this already, but if you're from Great Britain, you need a visa in advance, as well as a mandatory guide. For the rest, what do you want to do. Do you want to see more "recent" architecture (they have some gorgeous mosques), or more ancient ruins, or something else.

Are you aware that you will need a VISA to ever enter the US if you visit Iran?

>>1274799

(I heard about these travelers cheques in like seventies movies or something? On nineties TV anyway.
Do people actually use that stuff and if so why?)

I am in no way affiliated with bank card companies, but like, just take a card...? There are ATM's all over the place. Check which one of your cards has the lowest fees.

But it's annoying as fuck

Nope I just quit my job and ended a 4 year relationship to travel.

I know that feel, and then told that feel to get fucked.

Have got 6 years experience now though so I will always come back to a job when I want to.

I've been trying to get a job for 2 year now. I graduated college then had to move in with my parents for financial reasons. I finally got hired as a stocker at the local grocer and my boss was a massive ass. I had worked two and half months and I got about 2100 dollars in the bank from that. I told my boss to go fuck himself about a week ago and quit, and I'm headed to Mexico. My mom is freaking out, but whatever. This 9 to 5 crap is a joke, i plan on vlogging or writing a book or something. Anything but going back to slaving away for some fat guy who can't get over his power tripping. I plan on drinking coronas and getting a nice pretty senorita gf, so I did know that feel but not any longer.

Don't be a sucker OP, you be you.

>>1281642
>>1281646
That makes sense, I also quit my job

Here's another point of guilt though, my mum

I'm back at my mum's, and lots of my possessions are here. I feel I would be a jackass to go travelling and leave her with all my stuff. I know that she wants to move house at some point, so I'm just leaving her with everything.

Anyone else had that issue? Maybe I should get a job abroad, then I would be self-sufficient and my mum would probably be more okay with it

>girlfriend
Reeee

I'd have to say the worst is when both parties of the relationship are into traveling, but their priorities are different.

For example, the guy might be interested in checking out the jungles and rainforests and eating weird food. On the other hand, the girl might only be interested in traveling to resorts and just sitting at a beach, eating food that she's mostly familiar with.

>>1281606
Whats the point of the second one? Why not just go to a fucking local hotel and not spend all that money for a plane ticket?

Bump

Going to study in montreal and am also interested

Have you ever been to the jazz festival in Montreal?

Go to asheville boone or wilmington

Charlottean here --hat sort of stuff interests you? The Bechtler Museum is good, the Museum of the New South is worth a short visit. Football preseason games start Aug 9 with the Panthers hosting the Texans. The whitewater center ids fun, Carowinds is a decent 2nd-tier theme park.

If oyu have any questions abotu restaurants, tc, I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Medieval Times.

If you're in North Carolina you got to go there.

>>1280529
It's Danzig. And any "history" has been wiped out by the subhuman Slavs.

>>1280536
hans, you should really worry about your own cities before anyone elses. we all know youve got a bit of a pest problem there atm

there was that museum behind the main train station.... i will not remember the name, but architecturally it was nice already, and it has a viewpoint thst gives you a 360 view of gdansk, old town and port included.

i enjoyed all restaurants i ran into in gdansk, except that the service was shit on the main street, obviously.
they have a market, but it seemed overpriced, so ended up eating the same foods elsewhere.
they seem to be proud of their sushi, but it's not that great, so i don't get it. cabbage dishes all the way. there is a milk bar close to that ferris weel that might be interesting.

i enjoyed my sopot b&b waay more than gdansk actually. this random family ran b&b between the station and the sea (and hiking routes along the coast), was a great base.

Colombia

or just africa in general

Also,

>North Korea
>Iran
>detaining you

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. A lot of people visit NK yearly. The same goes for Iran. Just because one American fucks up in NK doesn't mean it's "dangerous"

>>1279574
You're overthinking this quite a bit this is very uncommon, however.

>keep important documents and papers in your carry on
>keep cash/cards/phone/laptop with you on carryon


Should be fine with doing those two things

>>1279574
I wouldn't worry about the bag, worry about making the flights.
>>1279676
Also this. Keep important docs on you, I bring a backpack along with my checked luggage for this purpose.

You gon get dragged out, OP.

>Is it a good travel destination?
How do you define "good"? If you like good food, good wine, warm sunny weather, walkable cities with interesting history and architecture, then Lisbon is a good travel destination. It's relatively cheap by European standards has arguably the sunniest weather of anywhere on the continent, and there's a pretty good bus/train network to help you explore the rest of the country and Spain, too.

>>1279484
Oh and if you're a burger, you might like to know that prostitution is legal in Portugal.

Is there a lot of Muslims or Portugal is too poor to have them?
