backpacking can be a real eye opener as to how beautiful the world is. Of course there is two sides and you'll see how horrible the world can be. Some of my greatest memories are from backpacking and so are some of my worst

Sofia local here. Why did you book a flight here if you don't know jack shit and you can't properly research on your own?

Of course it's going to be a headache. Other than city center where street names are dual, everything else will be Cyrillic.

Don't be a prick and be respectful and I'll help you with questions.

I was going to book a flight to romania, but I was drunk and accidentally booked to Sofia, hence my lack of research

do you know any resources for pronouncing crylic, my attempts at study have been fruitless and I don't even have a mobile phone to translate.
I will try to get a phrasebook in sophia

do you know the best places for hiking?
which are your favourite citties?

I hear most tourists are greek, turkish or russian so I'm not sure how far english will get me

I haven't stayed at a hostel before and am planning to on my next trip. How often do these sort of characters actually show up?

I'm going to meet so many of these in Chiang Mai aren't i

>absolute cheapest way to get to Europe
swim

Or, you keep an eye on all the low cost flights and book as soon as you find a decent price.
Protip: sometimes packages are cheaper than raw flights.
And I know this is not a very popular concept on /trv/, but travel agent are sometimes able to find cheaper flights/combos than search engines.

Find a way to get on a courier ship.

If you stayed a couple of months, you might be on file for overstaying and turned back.

They have some great whorehouses there, try fkk Babylon or goldentime

>>1287539
that's nauseating

to each his own, but I'd rather visit a museum than be near some crusty syphilitic whores

Lived in Vienna a few years heres my basic input. Museumsquartier is worth walking around and has some pricey cafe options, the exhibitions are pretty hit and miss though but I've been to a few that were worth the money. Walking up Siebensternstrasse behind the MQ has some nice restaurants open at night, generally the 7th and 4th districts are nice areas to live in and walk at night.

From MQ the heldenplatz, stephansdom and Naschmarkt are easy to walk to on foot. Augarten, Belvedere and Schönbrunn are worth visiting imo, subway system should be fairly easy to get around with and the stations should also have a small picture or description of other highlights in the area. Id recommend a tagesticket / day pass which is cheaper if you ride more than 3 times a day if i remember right. The should also be valid for most intercity buses and trams but i would ask to confirm since they change the rules often

Donauinsel is worth a relaxing day, milleniums tower i guess if youre in to shopping.

What city will you be staying in?

Cork

>>1286589
I'm going to be staying in cork

>>1295352
Visited there once, seemed like a cool city. I was kinda on a no drinking kick so the nightlife was boring. Once you leave Music Row it seems like there isn't much to do.

>>1295359
East Nashville, Franklin, Madison

>>1295363
wtf does that mean to me?

>>1295325
Stay at home, it's the safest place.

Rural South Dakota. Guaranteed no terrorists there!

Take a boat to the middle of the pacific ocean. Then sink the boat. When your bodies hit the bottom of the ocean floor, you'll definitely be safe from terrorists.

Do you have any time or budget restriction?
If not, I would rather do it in 2 to 3 days with regular stops to eat piss and sleep.
If the highways I have driven in CA and NV are any indication, American roads are pretty boring and no amount of coffee, music and podcasts will prevent that.

1. Leave after breakfast on day 1.
2. Drive until lunch time, unwind.
3. Choose next interesting stop
4. Spend night there, explore nightlife
5. ????????
6. Repeat until you reach destination
7. PROFIT!

>>1295319

Audiobooks and Podcasts. They will keep you alive.

Frequent road tripper here.

I stay awake by stopping regularly to stretch, walk around and piss.

I don't try to tackle more than 10 hours in one haul, not worth it.

If I get sleepy I pull over at a rest stop and nap.

End of the line for me I guess

>>1294993
>How much is shit over there
I'm Lucky to live where we are allowed to shit for free.
Only the occasional public toilet will make you pay to release yourself. Shouldn't be more than 0.50€.

Enjoy Europe OPee, it's a beautiful country

>>1295008
This man is a liar

Shitting prices are double what they used to be. At least 1 euro. Toilet paper dispensers cost extra now because migrants steal it all to barter with.

Do you actually know what the fuck you're doing? Have you done this before?

I have traveled all throughout Latin America and the US as a semi-professional treasure hunter, so I know a thing or two about primitive living.
In addition, I've been researching and testing different forms of water purification for the greater part of this year, wanting to be able to help.
The thing is, once I fly out there, I'd like to stay. I'm willing to take a month to find a suitable location, I'm just unsure about the lifestyle and culture of SE Asia, as I've never been outside of North or South America. I can only assume it's a slightly culturally different version of other 3rd world countries.

I guess more than anything I just would like to know what constitutes a small donation in a country like Cambodia?
In the US, you might toss a few bucks or your pocket change into a jar passing by, but if a person if providing your community with clean drinking water at no cost, you'd be inclined to donate more.
Conversion rates aside, what should be expected, if anything, as a donation in Cambodia? There are many factors in play.

>>1294785
I know you're looking for a bus tour, but it would be much easier to just rent a car and do the trip yourselves. Or name a price and maybe I'll drive you around, I'm just a couple hours away in San Diego ;)

You are way too agreeable, you're probably the type of person who goes to crazy lengths to help other people while your own life is not so great. If you're still fixated on that little conflict you're probably overly emotional as well. I was just like you, what helped me understand what I was really doing was a book called "No More Mr. Nice Guy" that made me realize I wasn't actually doing these things to be nice. You think that there's some sort of "social contract" where if you act ridiculously polite and motherly then people will give you what you want. It's repulsive behavior and the staff was right to tell you to stop.

>>1294764
that i a very strong opinion and not at all what I expected.
I am a deeply unhappy person, that is why I try to be nice to other people; and while I suppose it's true that I expect something I think everyone does that to some extend and it's not like.

how you make the leap to considering that repulsive I'm not sure.

>>1294768
> I am a deeply unhappy person
THAT is what needs attention, not hostel guests and dishes and other things that are someone else's job. Work on that depression my man, there are many paths you can take to fix your life but trying to get value out of other people by bartering with charity is not one of them.
