As I've noticed that age/occupation has helped other anons provide advice is other threads, I'm a 23 year old American with limited French language capabilities (reading a train schedule yes, having a compelling conversation no,) who will be traveling alone.

The castle at Foix is pretty epic. I've only been there in winter so I bet the hardwood forests will be beautiful in July.
There's a billion castles in the area of course, that's just the one I happen to have been to.

Toulouse (Saint-Sernin, Jacobins church), Albi, Moissac and Conques are amazing if you like medieval art and architecture.

>skipping angkor wat
ya dun goofed

What program did you use to map all of this? I have a trip coming up and a map like this would make it much easier for me to plan

>>1259589
It was just a general idea, nothing concrete.

>>1259592
Google maps.

I'm going to glorious Nippon for the 4th time this August and I'm currently debating which region to go to this time. I'll have around 10-14 days and I was mostly considering Tohoku or Shikoku.

Can anyone who has been to either region weigh in on if that is enough time/anything they would especially recommend there?

Thanks!

What do jap girls like please thanks

Malta.

I knew it existed, ran into it a bit in history class, but I'd more or less forgotten it still existed and the extent of it's historical quarters.

>I am just worried about bears and wildlife
nonissue
>week and a half vacation
skip oregon

some ideas from a central coast sc/out/:
>kayaking in monterey by the aquarium or in elkhorn slough
and don't worry about the shark, that was a total fluke
>marin headlands north of sf are awesome (lighthouse, ww1 era fort)
>mt tamalpias and pt. reyes both have great hikes of varying difficulty
and if you go far enough up pt reyes you'll get to see elk
>ukiah has killer food and beer
>town of mendicino's a boring fake-artsy tourist trap but the surrounding area is nice
>quit being a pussy about strenuous hikes because castle crags near shasta are amazing and give you a great view of shasta
(pic related)
>lassen n.p. will be hot but has very interesting geothermal features
but hurry up and decide where you want to camp and get your reservations in because everything fills up super early. also get a states park pass to get into all the state parks and beaches.

>>1258794
not OP but if 3 or 4 weeks, what's there to see in Oregon if I had plenty of time and same preferences as OP?

It's good if you know where to go.

>>1258496

Avoid the negro areas and you'll have few problems, anon.

I lived there from July to December last year. You can honestly knock out the museums in a day. Crime is actually not that bad, just STAY away from the Maryland side of the metro area in Prince George's County. The actually metro is a god send and super safe to travel.

Pussy is on a platter. Adams Morgan, H street, all fantastic places to party. Also highly recommend getting brunch. Me and my boys got black out drunk basically every weekend for 10 bucks on bottomless mimosas.

>I don't wanna become the next white isis victim
Iran never had & doesn't have any ISIS activity whatsoever. The whole country is safe. What are you smoking?

>>1258146
If OP doesn't even know that they should just not go to Iran at all.

I have been to Iran. Tehran is aight but the culture is in Isfahan and Shiraz. My favorite place is Mashhad its really chill. Beats any european city i've been to hands down. Its a religious city though so your mileage may vary

I saw plenty of foreigners get arrested for belligerent behavior in Thailand, but that's about it

I don't know about Serbia or Bulgaria but why would Hungary be dangerous?

>>1257423

You're motorcycling across Europe, not the Sahara or Central America.

You'll be fine. I hitchhiked through Serbia and Bulgaria and the worst that happened was I had to switch cars because a driver didn't have enough money to pay his vehicle fee over the border and kept asking me.

>>1257423
Is this a troll thread? Eastern Europe is not dangerous. Mind gypsies and that should be all.

Odessa won't be as fun as Kiev, partially due to the increased military presence there, but it'll be something. Don't talk to the women there though, they are almost entirely profiting off of dumb western tourists

Nightlife in Kiev is pretty nice, but drugs are going to be weak and still as costly as they are in other parts of Europe. Food is cheaper, and tasty, so don't worry about dining out at a nice restaurant. Women are beautiful, but your western passport isn't worth as much as it used to be, so don't feel bad if they treat you as a human being instead of some sort of demigod.

Chernobyl is not worth it

Lviv is not worth it

Try to go to Kharkiv instead, or hell even Chernigov

Looking for advice here too. Headed there next week after some time in Columbia. What to do in La Fortuna? Weather shows rainy and lightning for next week.

>>1256513
>things to do,
Nature, and nature related activities
>places to go
San jose is not worth the time, but if you want try this:
1. parque de diversiones - pueblo antiguo: is a theme park you can enter for free an go to pueblo antiguo which shows how was the country in the XIX and XX century.
2. mercado central - where the locals eat, picadillos and olla de carne are great
3. sloth sanctuary

Get naked and run into Pine Gap

Tasmania has some pretty interesting scenery, and history.

We also have good food and good beer.

Fly out to Kuala Lumpar OP, Cheap tickets to almost anywhere from there. Been to SEA also and can relate. Just go to Kuala and layover for a few days till you see somewhere you wanna go.

>>1256129
that's some good advice really, I'm returning to bangkok to fly out so I should probably go all the way to KL

I'm holding a completed visa application in my hand for Burma, but I just can't bring myself to deal with more of these people

The ancient temples are fantastic here, so is the nature
to be honest I feel like the people are a stain on what would otherwise be beautiful land

Cambodia and the Angkor wat is a case in point, build so long ago and it's still a quarter of a countries economy that just can't get anything done. Never in my life have I seen such laziness, it's stark, stark contrast to china

>>1256131
If your problem is with the people, then by all means go to Burma as planned. It's something different. Some of the most humble, friendly, honest people I have ever met.

>>1255251
I think taking the train is still the best opportunity. There is some way to do from the airport to the city, so cars, even without traffic, still gonna need some time. As you gonna arrive at the main station, take care to eat somewhere else, not in the area you arrive. It is damn expensive.

Speaking of Stockholm, is it a nice place to travel to for a week or are the neighboring countries better?

>>1255287
I think a week is way too much. I was for 4 days and already got bored. It is not much different to other big cities: A few sights that are more or less the same in any european city and some different food, that's it.

Evora is good, but southern Portugal is full of drunken working class British package tourists. Lisbon and parts further north are much more interesting. Visit Tomar, about 90 minutes north of Lisbon, and Porto is a gorgeous city to wander around.

>>1250415
Plan was to stick to the south because we will already be there for an artist residency my girlfriend will be doing. But I suppose we can always traverse the country after that. However I am generally skeptical of posts like yours with claims like
>Don't go to Y, it's been ruined by people from X

Taking a trip starting this week (leave on Friday from the west coast of the US) and flying to Zurich (staying for a few days), then into Germany for a few days, then Belgium for the rest of the time. I have an extra day of buffer before I would really want to be home and go back into work Monday on 05JUN. Flying Icelandair and they will let you stay for up to 7 days or something like that at no additional cost.

Planning on staying in Iceland for a single night, fly from Brussels, get there in the afternoon, hang out around Reykjavik for the day/night and next morning and then flying back home. Is it worth it? I figure why not since I'm there. I know that is nowhere near long enough to spend there but figured I was there so why not?
