>I found out about couchsurfing, is it really free to stay at a host or just less expensive?
It's free.

>How do I travel as cheap as I can?
Hitchhiking, train hopping (not recommended), dumpster diving and so on...

AIRBNB is quite cheap and you can make some friends this way since lot of them are (former) travellers or couchsurfers. If you dont care about comfort, then get a tent and ask people if you can set it on their garden.

t-thanks

I see airbnb offers are smething like 70 euros per night so I'm better off with couchsurfing

is skyscanner legit for tickets?

>>1262202
>caught, raped or stabbed.

Shit entered too early.
Anyway there's no way to avoid those things is you sleep on the street for long periods of time.

Sleep on the rooftops.

Atlantic City, Wildwood, Lobster House, Ocean City

go on Weird NJ and do some research for crazy haunted abandoned shit

>>1262809
So nothing to do in the actual town itself?

>>1261287
Depends, really, but you should be careful.

They confiscated my laptop after I showed local police my porn stash. I advise you not to do it. Other than that, you will be fine.
Although be careful at the airport when getting out. They do actually scan your laptop when it goes through security. If there is porn on it, they will know and this can and did sometimes lead to warnings or confiscations. You usally have to explain yourself, though, so it's probably best to avoid such a hassle by deleting your content.

i had the same worries when traveling to singapore and malaysia.

i archived the porn and put a password on it. sure this is not secure, but it hides it superficially.

>>1261287
>I've heard that porn is illegal there

I think porn is not actually illegal to own, just to make or sell but the letter of the law doesn't really matter in China. Anyway, unless you're watching it in public then no one gives a shit.

Chinese have all seen porn, lots of them watch it at home.

>>1261179
As at home, zero.

>>1261220
Y-you too

>>1261179
You are saying that like Its a big deal. Being white, black or brown, here, it doesn't matter. If you are handsome, or even a "normal" guy and a cool, them Its another story.

>I know that hogs are a real and deadly danger in the night, but do they mess up tents and such, too?
Yeah sure, but boars are smarter than some humans I know. If there is a human, the chance of getting shot increases so they will stay away. They arent wolves or tigers.

you probably wont find much help for the france section here, you're doing double what most on trv have done.

posting your experience of france when you've done it would be interesting

>>1260073
My sibling started in Biarritz, barely the French trek, but still France nonetheless.
The first 3 days were the most grueling of the whole trip, if I recall the complaining about it. I want to say it was like crying while you're walking uncomfortable due to elevation in the Pass through the Pyrenees.

Just read a blog and get the apps for what to see and what to do along the way. It would help that you're catholic and can bond with the keepers of the various choices to stay and dine. Everything is soooo well documented. Thousands do this every year. My sibling had a great time with this pilgrim last summer and stayed together for several days of the trip. Hopefully you can pick up tips from the blogging notes, great photos inside hostels and at meals. Scroll all the way down to start at the beginning.

for the record: I''m going all the way to Rome, it's just that google maps can't find a bike route that crosses the french-italian border so I couldn't plan it

When you're in Italy don't bicycle through the main streets / between the major cities. Just go up in the Appennines and follow the roads remaining in the middle of the peninsula as much as possible. Landscapes are far better and you'll find some cute towns

That's certainly a lot of biking.

Women.

I see what you mean OP,

Im moving to live Mexico at the end of summer for a year or two to learn Spanish and teach english. I mean, everyone travels for different reasons and i think learning another language is certainly one of them.

Some parts of the world are also cheaper, its 20 Mexican pesos to 1 dollar right now, so my money goes a lot farther down there. There are parts of the world with exchange rates where you can live for a dollar a day.

I guess you really like the United States, i do as well but its harder to travel it for a longer period of time without a lot of money. Or a car for that matter.

We get it, you browse /pol/ now go back and report what a good boy you've been.

I went to one of the worlds biggest coo coo clock in south Germany. It was shit

I don't know if this counts, but in Camogli, Italy, they have the biggest frying pan of the world, and they actually use it to cook fish during a local festival in the summer.

>>1252949
I believe the one in Rose Hill, NC, is bigger. Lacks the handle, but the handle is superfluous on something you can't pick up.

>>1263636
I picked a random picture from my phone why is it sideways reee

how are the women in Spain?

>>1263636
Tell me about Cadiz, what's so nice about it? Isn't it just another andalucian beach town?

Also, have you been to Malaga? I found the food+nightlife there to be pretty good, plus they have awesome beaches, plus it's not overrun by tourists like Sevilla.

>>1263611
The only thing I am anxious about is not finding the right hub at the airport

Remember all of them come down
Enjoy your flight buddy.

>>1263588
my buddy enjoyed Couer d'Alene when he had to live there for work

any reason you're completely skipping cities, even tiny ones that you'll be right on top of like Spokane, Eugene and Salem?

local here; sounds best route. most scenic

>>1263588
It may fuck up the loop, aspect but if you're talking about west coast culture, at least hit up either Seattle or Portland. If you talking about the literal west coast then this route is perfect. Of course its tourist season, so find a place to stash your car if you do go to Seattle (dont know about Portland though. Probably the same). Traffic is so fucked that you'd get to the point of suicidal rage. Also the fuckers cant drive in that city, so keep that in mind.

I did a daytrip to St Albans and really liked it, but didn't look like there were many places to stay

>>1263599
was there much to do there? i'm staying in burlington

Vermont is cool.

Are you into craft beer at all? They have some highly esteemed breweries in the area that you should check out.

Burlington is OK although I would say it's mostly a partial meme unless you are a college student. Taking a walk down Church street and by the water can be relaxing if you're with a girl or some gay shit like that. Check out the UVM campus at the top of College St at night. It's pretty cool to walk through when you're tripping balls on LSD.

Do you like weed? Check out some of the smoke shops. The bigger-sized one on Church does a lot of live glassblowing and I guess there is a huge local blowing culture so you can go in and check out the "art" or "pieces" by well known reputable local blowers. I guess it can be kinda neat if you're into that shit.

The rest of Burlington is pretty bland. South Burlington is just generic industrialized trash (chain hotels, airport, walmart, etc...) and towards Pine is just more industrial shit and not much culture.

Do you like motorcycles? Rent one and hit the local state forest or mountain. Don't like motorcycles? Hit it anyway. The peace of the Vermont and New Hampshire forests is something that is difficult to find in Massachusetts/New Jersey/downstate new york.

ADV is such a cringefest compared to winston


his chink wife is also ugly as fuck

>>1263416
his name is c-milk. he's not that bad, without him winston would come off as really dry since he has no sense of humor

>>1263420
I dunno he comes across incredibly boring and cringy, the type of American you find all over T1 cities. His outlook on most things is just boring and generic to boot.

the Chinese girl tries X! videos are probably the worst offender cringe wise, worst still Winston decided to adopt that format.

>>1263244
if you like looking at ancient rubb-i mean, historical sites, then just visit the random various sites i guess
if you like nature theres a fuck ton of elephants and a some evasive leopards if you're lucky
if you to stay in modern civilisation, dont leave colombo

>>1263244
>What am I supposed to do in this meme country?
Eat bad food, pay exorbitant rates to enter the historical sites, and fend of some of the most aggressive touts you will ever run into.

>>1263282
if you think theyre aggressive, never go to india
