If you're not going to answer the question then please don't waste my time.

Bumping - my flight is tomorrow!

I shitpost in the comment section of the youtube vloggers I follow

For travel banter: /trv/ only

For travel info: /trv/ for uncommon questions, Google search "[country name] + food/sights/things to do/activities/safety tips" for general inquiries

I google the fuck outta everything... Rough guide, youtube, wikitravel. Google images and lonely Planet. Then I street view walk up and down any towns in the country that appear interesting. . By then I have exhausted the location and no longer feel the need to travel there.. saved thousands on tickets.

>>1275737
Easy, you don't. Get a job, save up, and work for it like the rest of the people

do you plan on staying in canada?

canada is even harder on illegals, there's already an official program to pay foreigners less than minimum wage

well a room is the same price in a hostel as in a hotel. wtf do you want?

>>1275707
Yeah this is pretty normal. Hostels are only cheaper if you stay in dorms. The only good aspect of getting a private room in a hostel is that they allow you to mingle with other backpackers as where most hostels have an isolating "more private" environment. Look into the other benefits those places offer, like breakfast or pool access. Usually hostels don't have great amenities but might have some cool incentives like pub crawls or game nights for their patrons if you're into that.

easy friend, it's just a question

>>1275546
The quick rundown is:
>Miles&More > OneWorld > SkyTeam > anything else
>they're all equally shit until you get into the elite levels where it becomes rewarding and easy to keep
>if you just make it into the first level (silver) don't even bother, it's not worth it
>points awarded = money spent + bonus points for flying business/first
>getting the associated credit card is a must
>converting anything to miles is a scam

>>1275551
You probably meant StarAlliance instead of Miles'n'More. But yea, more or less this.

Of course a big factor is simply which airlines fly the most from your location.

>>1275546
Aye, but which card ahould I choose? And why is it Chase Sapphire?

I take two trips each year and fly a totsl of about 5,000 miles annually..

Scams are easy to avoid if you stick together. That way you've got three brains working to figure out what the angle is, and to pull one person away from the situation if he/she gets sucked in.
Most common scam I've encountered is "Here's a gift [shitty jewelry], please take it, I won't take no for an answer. Now, you have some present from America for me? No, not that, give me a present of ten dollars."

Are you flying to each of these cities? If not can you talk more about the logistics of your trip? Also, why did you chose those countries?

>>1275374
We're driving to most we only take a flight to get to Kinshasa. And we choose them for the social scene and getting to know the locals in the capitals.

PRO TIP: Don't go especially if you're white

Ive heard that the biobays are pretty much dead at this point from pollution, but Ive never been so idk.
Depending on your budget there are a good amount of awesome rainforest tours - check out Acampa especially. If not, I imagine El Yunque is bus-able.

>>1274384

Thanks, will check out acampa! I saw a bunch of guided tours through rainforests but thought they were a scam. Got any recommendations based on experience for which one was good?

just realized acampa IS the tour company >.>

Thanks! I think I'm gonna book the Toro Negro tour.

What part are you moving to?
Its a huge state.

I am not quite sure if you are a fan of "Better call Saul" but the shooting for the 4th and final season will start in september in the albuquerque area. Stand ins and spectators are welcome.

Nearish La Cruces

no one?

>>1273693
No idea never heard of it. Where are you from?

If i was you I'd just buy a local sim and it usually works out cheap and you will get data and minutes, texts for like $5.

global roaming has been destroyed within the EU and UK. get whoever the fuck you want and take them everywhere.

u welcm

>>1271335
Yes. I love traveling by myself. I have for many years.

No. You may get a different opinion about this from a Real Traveler®. We are not going on your vacation or your trip. I will not be putting on your shoes or your boots or getting on your plane in your place. I would say that only you can figure this out and the only way to figure this out is to probably plan a trip that includes time in a hostel and time in a hotel to see for yourself.

>>1271335
I get very anxious and annoyed when i travel alone, this might be different for you. Wherever you go, it's always nice to ineract with the locals, or with fellow travelers, hostels are a great starting point for this.

I had to travel alone for my company a few times, and there is nothing i hate more than being alone in a hotel room abroad, but again, you might have different experience. Just go on a short solo trip, can be even somewhere nearby.

>>1271335
>Do you think it is enjoyable travelling by yourself if you're an introverted?
This doesn't make sense. Being introvert means that that's precisely the way you would like to travel.

Dude
Once I was on a direct flight to the Amsterdam,I got upgraded to first class, and one of the flight attendants was like, super nice, and hot. I was able to get her number and now she's my gf. the food was great and I felt so relaxed. I didn't get jet lag. The flight back however was terrible. I barely got any sleep and I used my Brazilian passport, so all the flight attendants tried talking to me in indecipherable Portuguese.

>>1270312
I got really high several hours before departing for the airport and ate a bunch of chinese food from a buffet. I had a window seat, used the bathroom at the beginning of the flight, passed out for 8 hours, and woke up in Europe.

I haven't lived there, but I'm about to move there and I've done some research.

Living in Manhattan (Central Park's borough) takes some serious cash--at least middle or lower Manhattan, that is. I'm moving to start graduate studies so with my tight budget I'm going to Queens. Depending on your income, Manhattan can be very hard to pull off.

>Does it get boring?
Unless you've got crippling social anxiety, your problem in NYC will be distractibility, not getting bored.

>>1251969
>Unless you've got crippling social anxiety
Oh... I guess that's a problem then...

>>1251970
I'm not trying to make light of your anxiety, but what did you think being in a massive city would be like?

What inspired you to make this thread? What replies are you hoping for? Do you want /trv/ to plan a holiday for you? Is this what you're implying ?

>>1275183
OP wanted someone to tell him what to do. In which he would probably never do it, and even if he did he's just probably mope around his hotel room all day
