It may be that such Americans as go there don;t feel the need to look for advice on /trv/?

I've been a few times, it's perfectly fine, I like SA better, but to each his own.

>>1214518
Many places are arguably better, but you cant easily drive to them.
Bringing my own vehicle is making this the cheapest vacation I have ever had and its been as fun as any of them.

>>1214522
Fair enough -- where I live in the USA, you can;t really easily drive to Mexico either. I mean, you can, but it is a long ass way, smarter to fly. And once I am flying, for my money Id rather hit Colombia or Ecuador. Not to say I would turn down another opportunity to go to Mexico...

>get stomach bug in India (surprise surprise).
>have to take 7 hour bus trip out of the Himalayas on a local bus carrying all my luggage in my lap
>take a squat with no TP right before the trip
>take 6 imodium and a charcoal tablet and clench
>only stops are in the middle of fields, not even designated streets

I'll never make hard reservations again. It would have been so nice to be able to shit my brains out in a hotel room for a couple of days.

>eat tons of nice food in China
>shit hard bricks
>develop anal thromboid
>every step is pain, even sitting is pain
>suffer through it cause I don't want to waste time that I could spend doing stuff
>walking on the great wall
>suddenly the pain vanishes followed by a feeling of wetness
>blood starts to run down my balls and leg, drippong down my shorts
>probe with a tissue-covered finger
>the whole thing had burst
>jam some tissues between my asschecks, clean balls and leg, carry on

I think it was a good decision to keep going forcing it to burst. Friend of mine had a thromboid and he just lay around at home and it lasted much longer that way.

>which I feel is going to happen eventually
I don't want to turn this into a political discussion on 4chan's Greatest Board, but they fought a genuine war for them, less than 40 years ago. Ain't no-one gonna peacefully hand them over.

Anyway. It *might* be easier for you, as you're on actual allied Nato service. Civilians have a hard time getting on those flights, but you might be able to.

>>1228762
Which is why I'd really like to check it out, it's nearly impossible for me to do this as a civilian. And yeah, I don't want to turn it into a political discussion, but I'm going to war memorials around here and talking to veterans, the Brits have a sad history of forgetting their wars or saying they weren't noble. I've met some Rhodesian vets who say they got kicked out of Remembrance Day, so now they do it in private.

The way I see it, most British people don't seem to care about them now, but Argentina never stops pushing the issue. It could be a while but it might happen.

>>1228761
You know you can fly there from Punta Arenas for $700 round trip right? I researched a bit and everything there is private land so if you want to do camping you need to ask them. It's apparently not that expensive.

>>1228762
There's already terror attacks, civil war isn't far off. Non-British are growing each year, once the "UK" needs to dedicate more forces to upholding peace on their island is the moment the Argies are going to strike. Not today, not tomorrow, but in fourty years when Europe is in the shits they will attack.

Great country, you don't need car, you have this marsutka or something like this that will carry you to every corner of the country ; check wikitravel

>>1228726
Use hitchhiking a lot, it's very useful anywhere at Caucasus.

>>1228726
As the other guys have stated marshrutkas are cheap and convenient, but the drivers drive like they'd prefer to die in the next 30 seconds.

I have anxiety too but nothing that would make me miss a flight or anything. I find that when my anxiety will cause me to seriously fuck up a travel plan, I'm able to power through it and talk to whoever I need to talk to in order to get where I'm going.

How specifically are you imagining that your anxiety would do something like that? Like you wouldn't be able to get to the airport, or?

I find that especially if you don't know the local language, it's pretty easy to start getting taken advantage of and a lot of my anxiety comes in then.

>>1228696
I have anxiety issues and altbough its overwhelming at first travel actually helped me a bit. Putting yourself out there and seeing its not so bad is the best thing you can do. If you are worried about missing a flight give yourself like an extra 4 hours and then no matter how stupid you are you will always have time to ask a thousand people and get back on track.

>>1228714
I suppose its a little of the anxiety itself causing me to belive I might miss my flight. But I worry Id get lost while trying to get to the airport in Thailand. But I suppose I could just reserve that day for making sure I get there on time.

As per the sticky:

>/trv/ is a slow board, you don't need to bump more than once a day -- it's OK if your thread is not on the front page, we look several pages deep here.

So stop bumping already. Someone who knows something might get around to answering your question in the next few days.

>of course, the likelihood of getting an answer goes down when a thread is this retarded...

There must be something very special about these cigarettes.

late spring can already be quite hot in the Tarragona area. Further north in the pre-Pyrenees the temperature still holds for some weeks

Catalonia it's well known for its numerous tolls in the highways; use the National roads (N-XX)
There is no environmental regulation on this topic, only in Barcelona after 2020 you won't be allowed to enter with cars older than 20 years

>>1228706
Thanks. Do you have any recommendations for places worth visiting in that region?
>>1228786
Ah, thanks.

Itinerary (Of course I do not expect to get to all of them 100%) but ill try getting most of it done. But you see how much ill be travelling. Not too much.

If you really want to save money, consider using a Willerexpress bus pass for moving large distances. In Kansai look into Kansai Thru Pass or Kintetsu Rail Pass, but only if you´re planning some longer trips (Himeji, Koyasan). Otherwise regular tickets will be cheaper, Kyoto>Osaka is like 400 yen one way.
Do get out into the wider Kansai, 7 days Kyoto will overload you with temples and there's jackshit to do in Osaka for 5 days.

Dunno about West Africa in general, but Morocco is a fairly cheap country. You can get a good room for $15-40 a night. Most of the hotels are riads, beautiful traditional houses converted to hotels. They're usually family-run and nice and clean.

>>1228541
Care to explain a little bit about your wast africa trip? How did you line up the work?

West Africa is expensive cause its so savage, there isn't the tourism infrastructure like in east Africa. Depends what countries you had in mind as obviously some are more stable.
But from what I have heard from people who went there, you are usually in some compound in a rich gated area and you just don't really go anywhere other than where your work requires.
If you want to stay with locals, you need somebody as an "in" to get you in touch with others and it can snowball from there.

When is the best time to beat Sunday Atlanta traffic?

Pros:
Cheaper than conventional taxis

Cons:
Driver's insurance policy may or may not cover you

>>1228480

Yes they let you use the trunk.

You could probably last 6-10 months
budget properly

Depends what you do the cool stuff in Patagonia is expensive

Whale watching in Puerto Madryn = $120
Dolphin and penguin watching in Puerto Madryn = $120
Glacier walking in El Calafate = $100
Kayaking in Magellan Strait = $80
Bus to your next destination.= $50-$100
Visit to more obscure national park or glacier = $300
Navimag cruise through Patagonian fjords = $400

Basically all day trips in Punta Arenas cost you $50-60 or generally all day trips in Argentina that you cannot do on your own will run you $40-50

Take a tent so you can cut costs in Punta Arenas and El Chalten. Hostels in El Chalten are really fucking expensive and you want to save money here because camping in the national park is free and the hostels are expensive and don't even have internet in most cases

Restaurant food in Patagonia is at least double of what you pay in Argentina cities like Rosario or Mendoza.

I was there when they still had the black market and came back after and everything was a good 10-15% more expensive.

Paraguay is really interesting spend some time there.

The food in Chile is expensive and bland. Uruguay I found not to be that expensive as everyone says. Basically all countries you need to budget $50-60 a day to travel OK and I think your budget will last you some 8-10 months.

>>1228412
Also I want to say that weather can make your trip a pain in the ass so you need to decide between good weather all of your trip (that means you need to be in Bariloche by middle/end of November) but more tourists or less tourists but worse weather (that means you need to be in Bariloche by middle/end of October). Also keep in mind the coolest thing that Patagonia has to offer, the Southern Right Whale is only visible until mid December so don't come too late or you will miss the most awe inspiring sight of your life. I traveled Patagonia from November to March and had great weather, only rained three times I think but the tourists in Torres del Paine where a bit overwhelming though. In other places I hadn't seen a lot.

Montreal, Quebec City.

Anyway Canada really isn't about the cities in the first place.

>>1228359
I was thinking about Montreal but I remember going a few years ago and it was more of a party area than a check out something cool city.

>Canada really isn't about the cities in the first place.

Yeah I know, I always enjoy the small towns I find on my way to certain areas.

I've always liked Kingston. it has some nice old architecture and some cool stuff in it.

but to give a better answer I guess I would have to ask what you're looking for in a city that you would define as "interesting"

simply don't visit Auschwitz. It's fucking boring and you still have to be serious and stuff

Even with that big of inheritance I would advice against owning houses outside of your passport country.

If you are wealthy enough to keep houses in several locations you dont really need to plan on locations, do you? You just hop on a next plane and go whenever you please.

But to not be a smartass and actually answer your question: Portugal, Turkey, Thailand, Finland (in summer).

>>1228256
probably gated community in California, then I have easy access to travel asia, South America and Europe.
