I'm in SoBe right now. There's a lot of Chads and black guys walking around at night blasting music, but it's not anything too crazy. It's more of a mild annoyance than what you seem to be worried about, and the morning and afternoons aren't too bad.

I went to Bodega Taqueria y Tequila yesterday and their pork tacos were great. I also hit up Versailles in Cuba which was good (a lot of Asian tourists there though). Churchills was a cool bar, even on Mondays when they play jazz.

You can also do an Evergaldes tour if you haven't been, it's a good time to go since the mosquitos aren't out yet and the alligators are nearing mating season so they're all out looking to get laid. It's probably the coolest place I've been to in the US in my opinion (Pic related, I just wish the panoramic didn't fuck up toward the left cause that photo was tight).

Fug I shoulda proofread, Versailles in Little Havana*

>>1224811
Right on, man. Thanks for the suggestions and for calming my fears of, "Ghetto Girls Gone Wild."

Will you have a car? Otherwise, id forget about seeing anything.

If you like beer, there's a company called Lazy Magnolia that's a local brewery to MS. I really recommend trying their Southern Pecan brown ale, and also sending me a few cases. Don't walk around barefoot!

Little Rock:
In Little Rock, if you like hiking, there's a 2-3 hour hike up a 1100 ft hill at Pinnacle Mountain. Place is like 15 minutes drive from downtown.

Drinking - Lost 40 Brewing is good. Nightclubs are great on weekends. Nightclubs with extended liquor licenses stay open until 5am instead of just 2am.

Once in a blue moon there's a good concert at Alltel Arena but if you're into music you should check out the local bar live music scene. Unfortunately the bars are mostly spread out so do your research before coming. Use Lyft or Uber.

Lastly if you want to do tourist stuff, the whole complex around the Clinton Presidential Center is engaging. Presidential Libraries house archives of former terms but they maintain museum exhibits that the public can go and look at. The Clinton is one of the top 3 in the system imo.

Less familiar with the other cities but i concur with >>1224659 on Lazy Magnolia. While you're in Georgia see if you can find Sweetwater beer out too (their brewery is in Atlanta).

I've been to Transnistria. Actually really easy to get into. Not much to see there but it's still a curiosity, an island of the old Soviet Union in the middle of everything else.

I guess Northern Cyprus

Was interesting to see the DMZ there

Inconceivable. I know there exist such insanely social breed of people who can travel in groups, but I doubt any post here.

It's ok for hetero couples but If it's just you and one other male friend traveling then people will assume you're gay.

>I know that feel

I've had a couple of trips with 3 other friends and when we're together we become the most indecisive people ever. We constantly jump from one option to the next while making no commitment

Hello, I just want to kill my self and finally end all suffering.

I regularly travel for free as an air courier. The turn around times are short but I usually have a day or two to explore my destination city. Part of the appeal is the journey itself. I enjoy the environment of the airport and relaxing on planes. I feel extremely lucky to have my job. However the industry has shrunk massively in the past 2 decades.

One small but memorable thing for me was when I went to a non-New England state for the first time (I’m from Toronto area). When I stopped to get gas in West Virginia I was kind of confused about how to do it, I think the pay at the pump machine wasn’t working. I go inside and say to the cashier “I couldn’t pay at the pump and I was just hoping I could pay here” she responds in a thick West Virginian accent with “Sure, these darn computers always seem to be messing up. Sometimes I wish I could just take my AR-15 and shoot these gosh darn things, but apparently that’s frowned upon.” I laughed knowing she was joking.

But I still find it hilarious that the first conversation I had with someone in that state about them bringing an assault rifle to work and shooting something

What exactly are you wanting to accomplish from this point?

>>1224503
That's a really good question. It's a bit of a long story, but I had breakdown in my life of some sorts, and took a year off of school. I am not looking to settle permanently. Just want to work in Spain to provide for my basic needs (rent, food, etc) and get my life back together (mentally speaking).

I just want to work in Spain short-term.

Congratulations on picking a country with 40% youth unemployment, OP. I guess its true what they say about illegals - they really don't send their best, do they?

Jokes aside, go home. It will be a lot less stressful than living illegally in a dysfunctional economy.

I don't really have the funds for a feasible spring break this year, but next year I'm considering South Padre Island

Spring break sucks if you're not really good looking.

Cartagena is great if you're into whores or cocaine, otherwise give it a pass. Also incredibly fucking hot and humid there, day and night.

Playa del Carmen could be cool, there are large parties there every day of the year and it's not exactly shitheadville like cancun. Stay at Yak hostel. I don't know what it's like during spring break though.

>>1224192
Im kinda average looking, but 6'3. If its dark out or their drunk i can usually land hotties

Old expatriate here.
You just gotta learn the easy terms like calling a cab and other expressions. A lot of people talk basic english at least.

Theres a shit ton of foreigners.

I lived there in 2010 so no idea about fog now. I remember there being a lot of sandy winds from the gobi desert however.

Plenty of foreigners, especially around the wudaoku area. Be aware of chinese women coming on to you to easily at the bar. just make sure that you are getting served real alcohol. also keep in mind that alot of the food products there are expired, they had plenty of stuff imported thinking the 2008 olympics would bring in plenty, but they never really sold all of it

Cluj is a flourishing cultural town, considered to be one of the best in Romania.
Depending on where you're coming from - if France:
Cluj is 30 times safer than any place in France. The only way to lose your wallet is probably if you get too drunk from the cheap booze. There are plenty of foreigners and people are really friendly. Most of all respect that town if you want it to respect you. They might know french even, especially older people, but if you show any french arrogance towards romanian people you're in for a treat.

British lad who spent some time in Cluj around a month ago.

>Cheap like super cheap compared to the UK. Maybe 3rd of the price
>No crime at all. Felt very safe everywhere I went (and I was getting drunk some nights)
>Food is a little meh compared to Western standards
>google this but they are cheap
>not racist at all I am half black half white and went with around 4 white English lads and 4 Black English lads and we didn't have any problems what so ever.

An amazing city and the Romanian people are a great group. I truly love that city and would love to spend more time there. You are a lucky lad.

Yeah Cluj is cool

If you read all of this, thank you, I know it's a lot to ask and I'm a retard but what the hell.

People don't care about your president, if anything they might like you now because of trump. Americans are a mixed bag, you don't seem like a dudebro so you might be okay. You seem kinda cucky though.

Do SEA, it's the only country you can do for a decent amount of time. Thailand is probably your best bet, a vast majority of the people speak english, there is western comfort food everywhere if you need it, but thai food is great and you can get a meal of pad thai from a food cart for $2 or so. Whites are fine in Thailand, they have so many tourists they actually like white people to a degree. As for the local women, you should have no dramas, and if you do there are plenty of ladies of the night around.

Depending on what you want to do, Thailand will have you covered, it's got a huge city, beaches and islands everywhere, jungle and the 'beaten path' up north.

If you are backpacking you can probably last 3-4 weeks on 2.5k, maybe more depending on how often you drink. Which if you are young I assume that is what you want to do. That also gives you a lot of money to travel around the country.

Let us know what you are looking for in your travels so we can help further.

>You seem kinda cucky though.

Ahaha, most likely, I come from liberal Massachusetts.

>Thailand is probably your best bet.

Yeah, I thought so, seems most anons here have nothing but nice things to say about it. I really wanna see some ancient ruins and shit on the weekdays, and spend the weekends trying my luck in the city, was thinking Pattaya because Bangkok may be too many people for me, seeing as Boston has less than a million people living there. And I'm 19 so I'm obviously curious about whores because they're so taboo in the States.

>If you are backpacking you can probably last 3-4 weeks on 2.5k.

Backpacking seems very very enticing, but I have no idea what type of supplies or precautions I should take before doing so. Also, I would only want to be there for two weeks max.

>Maybe more depending on how often you drink.

How much does the average beer or fancy drink cost in USD?

And lastly what is the average size of people in this region? I'm 6'4" 260, and I feel like that'd be pretty unusual and maybe off-putting but I don't know.

>>1223973
>9 days
>w/gf

Peru. Do the macchu picchu / sacred valley / cusco. Maybe you'd still have time to go somewhere like Huacachina after returning to Lima. For a 9 day trip nothing else really matches it in South America, unless you're going alone and want to get girls. The risk of strikes matching your dates is very minimal.

La Paz definitely

>>1223973

The Peru itinerary above is a real safe bet and good use of time.

Colombia is also worth considering given it's proximity to the States and being so cheap. It's incredibly diverse but would give some advice based on your interests.

>>1223890
Yea, multi-city from the same airlines are shit. Forget about them. Icelandair's stopover option is nice if you can use it. If not, just book your main flight to Europe, and once there use cheap airlines to get around. There are plenty.

Post dates and I'll try to find something
However >>1223927 is right, you can fly to icelandair and then get a cheap flight to Lisbon

>>1223965
Thanks, but I'm just trying to figure it out now so I can keep out for a good deal. I'm not leaving until mid-September.

>>1223927
I guess I'll go with this idea then. Should I book my return from Europe before I leave?

>my trip will be ruined if I see another white person

>>1223872
kek

OP, if you want to be a 'real traveler' and visit SEA, go to Mongolia. Learn horse riding, fishing, eagle hunting, not many other tourists (except for July)

Did that and it changed my life.

I'm sure I'll see plenty in Singapore and Thailand.

>>1223784
Try it, let us know how it works out.

>>1223786
DESU, If i could drive and I lived close to a toll road i would. If anything, If it is done in a non hostile joking manner, it would brighten up the operator's day to hear a unique reason to why somebody shouldn't have to pay.

Why the abbreviation tripped the sensor i have no idea.
