where are you starting from?

New york probably!

You can try but unlikely.

People here have no idea how hard it is to travel in Africa, from security to bureaucracy to infrastructure to healthcare.

It can be done, but not without serious risks.

You'll actually die and I'm unironically saying this

Temp fluctuations are severe in the plains, and then you have to worry about the wildlife. Towns are stretched thin and often don't even have shops to stock up on supplies. If you get sick forget about medical care. Visas are a pain in the ass and border guards will almost always try to extort you. And then one of the biggest factors is dodging the natives trying to rob and murder you just for being white.

99.99999% chance of something going seriously wrong.

I seem to remember a couple of Frenchmen walking from Cape Town to Cairo. They had a camera crew so that probably helped.

It's best to check out the local goat brothel

There are some neighborhoods that aren't the greatest where people clash with the police, but nobody will give a fuck about you. I doubt you will stumble into any, but if you see a lot of black flags in buildings that neighborhood is not for you. Bahrain is generally safe, though. What are the hours of your layover? When is it? If soon Ramadan may fuck up most of your opportunities during the layover

Been there some years ago.

Take a taxi at the airport and keep it for the whole time you are there. It will not be too expensive.

Things I can recommend:
- Old Town / Souk
- World trade center
- Grand Mosque
- Fort

Took a lot of photos there and had a great time.

Have fun!

Very substantive, thanks, Anon.

He's not wrong though. Memes aside, Mexico is a dangerous place dude. What makes you think you will be fine wandering around the country as a gringo who doesn't even speak Spanish? Stick to the touristy areas and you will be fine. Put the whole 'real traveler' stick aside and be realistic.

Holy fucking samefag.

I'm just looking for suggestions on places to go, Anon. Either recommend a few destinations or go away.

>>1258761
What are you interested in? LA is a huge city, you could do all kinds of stuff...

>>1258763
I'm kind of interested in Disneyland but I'm worried 8-9 hours won't be enough time.

The Getty Center looks cool. And I guess renting a bike and riding along the beach could be neat.

>>1258761

Honestly I would not do anything. Just go sit in the Centurion lounge and get hammered while browsing exquisite timepiece forums.

Take a few days to get oriented before you get down, or else you will get scammed to hell and back. I'm from the general area and I still get scammed when I drink there.

burbon street gets old fucking fast after 2 nights

I was in New Orleans for almost a week two months ago. It’s nice, but small. Stay around the French Quarter. Check out the Garden District during the day if you get the chance. The French Quarter during the day is also nice, like Royal Street, the French Market, and I highly recommend an antique shop in the quarter called “MS Rau.” There’s also a free hidden NOLA museum nearby where you can walk in and shows a lot of history.

As far as nightlife, Bourbon Street is where you want to go. During the day it’s dirty and smells like piss but during the night when you’re trashed, it’s fun. It’s bar after bar after bar… Frenchmen street also has a fun night life. It’s mostly live music and not many tourists go there. The tourists go to Bourbon street, locals go to Frenchmen street. Alcohol everywhere. Have fun.

Are you pretty? Are you willing to date older people? If so you could try whoring yourself out on MissTravel.Com

Do you do anal?

Are you the dude or the cat?

Safe yeah but I can't think of any reason to justify the expense of going there.
Don't they have A&W resturants in your own country?

>>1258409
Safe but worthless.

>>1258409
I hear from other travelers on the road that there isn't much to do and is more expensive than india

However less beggars, and less touristed

Maybe there is some great stuff there and nobody has found it yet

>>1258384
Avoid puerto rico, I got mugged 3 years ago on that place and the hotel staff didn't help me.

I would also be interested in most of OPs questions.

I'm going to PR in July

The cheapest part of going to Iceland is the airfare. This is their draw, to encourage you to tour and visit.
There is really no savings of renting a car vs a tour, even if you are splitting the car and hotels. Two is cheaper than one, but 4 is really the price of 3 or 4. It's simply an expensive country, from the gas to the insurance for the car, not to mention the cars are typically outfitted for the roads and weather, all imported at great expense to them. The tour prices are indeed priced right. They're very competitive.
The reason to bring someone in your car is for a little narration/reading while one person drives. The expanse is pretty barren, and it's a good hour or two between very quick stops at waterfalls or other items. It's pretty fun if you are read up on the sagas and know were you are passing setting for them. But for more adventurous ideas, then you should know the tour guide will have the sat-phone, the offroad eligible vehicle, and safety gear, for like your ice climb or lava tube hike. The rental car can't go those places or you forfeit your insurance.

In other words, go in mid-Sept to save a little on hotels, it's not peak, or simply get your budget able to handle this on your own.

>dive iceland
Err, again, you're paying for the guide, who you need, and no you wouldn't want to pack gear. I can't imagine why diving a simple fissure is a goal for any diver *shrug* either. No sea life and it's snorkelable quite easily. I dove Alaska and it's boring and drysuits are a huge amount of fuss. It's cold no matter what, painfully cold and not enjoyable.

This guy is half right/half wrong

Loads to see and experience when driving compared to the shit load em up/keep em moving tours.

Try samderda.net or post on trips advisor forums etc. Hell,there'll be lots of people hitchhiking along the way. Pick them up
Post it on FB let your friends friends know.

And he's right. Don't go diving it's shit

>>1258325
>>1258357
thanks for the info guys! At least it's clear about diving now.

Still not sure if I should go...and just do the tours thing.

samferda.net seems to be about carpooling which is not exactly what I'm looking for.

Unfortunately that's not possible. However you get to Hong Kong, it's considered a different territory. You only get one entrance/exit to Chinese mainland. That being said, if you go to HK and decide to stick around a bit, it shouldn't be too much trouble and not take too much time to get another visa to China in HK.

Is there a good list of good places for solo diners in Barcelona? Would you just recommend stepping into random tapas places and sitting at the bar?

Look at the wikitravel page, or the wikipedia page if you really have no idea, look at the In Your Pocket guide to Riga, then ask something more specific.

>>1257811
I found Rīga overpriced for what it offered (hotels and bars seemed to cost too much for the quality) and maybe a little dull. Both Vilnius and Tallinn are more exciting cities in my limited experience, even though Riga is a little bit larger. But I did like all of the Art Nouveau architecture.
