East Flanders because I live there.

As for South America, I started overanding north from Asunción on December 2nd of 2015. I was in the Santa Cruz department on the January 1st 2016.

I'm still in the very early stages of planning my next trips.

- As much as you can, but don't panic if you don't know any. (You will just be ripped off more.)
- Yes, learn Cyrillic at least. It's easy, and will save you time. Reading menus will be quicker, too.
eg. pizza vs пиццa, vodka vs вoдкa

>>1197212
Thank you.

>>1197199
I was there this summer in the same two cities and I got by fine without knowing any Cyrillic.

Hong Kong is crowded as fuck. Good luck finding a host on CouchSurfing.

They have a hotel so that's not an issue.

>good shopping/eating/party places
Shopping depends on what you want.
Technology can be found in Sham Shiu Po at Golden Arcade. Mong Kong Computer Centere is also good.
Fashion etc isn't especially cheap in HK but Causeway Bay has all that shit.

Party in Lan Kwai Fong on Friday/Saturday and Wan Chai on other days, Thursday/Sunday are the main days there.

You can eat anywhere, there are shitloads of places. You shouldn't have any trouble finding decent places to eat.
If in doubt, check Lonely Planet, they randomly picked a few decent places and have addresses, I'd have to go research shit on Google maps to find you addresses of the places I know.

Going to bump this because i just booked my first airbnb as well and im curious how it will turn out.

What i can offer is that my cousin rents out her manhattan apartment while she is away through airbnb all the time and thinks its wonderful - but thats from the host side of things.

>>1191412
I always entertain the idea of renting out my apartment when travelling but then I remember just how much of a warehouse my flat is.
Do people just have so little belongings? Moving all this shit to my parents or friends back and forth would be a royal pain in the ass.

>>1191400
The photographers of Airbnb have good Photoshop skills. I've been always very disappointed when I saw the rooms in rl.

>>1200287
No.

>>1200290
What's in Bulgaria. I know my family really likes your cheese.

Soviet flying saucers

Get drunk. Begin with a gin and tonic and take it from there

>>1200245
You need benzos, ample water and an aisle seat over the wing. If you can afford better-than-coach then ask for The Good Shit ;)

>>1200188
You need to fortify yourself mentally
You need to know that turbulence is common and no more than speed bumps in the air
You need to know that there are thousands of safety precautions in place
You need to know there are hundreds of people involved in your safety
You need to know that you're more likely to die going to the airport than actually flying in a plane

Find out as much as possible about your flight and safety stats. Just dont get caught up in the negative.

>>1200182
Do you want safe or do you want it to go far?

If you want it to go the farthest look at south america or some African country.

If you want it to go a bit far but be "safer", you might want to check out some Asian country like South Korea or such.

>>1200182
Live the generic expat life in Thailand, minus the freelancing.

>>1200185
Thanks friend

I was thinking north Korea actually but I'm scared they'll either see a large white boy and shoot anon or take all his money, Africa could work as well but anon doesn't like the thought of niggers with guns, I would have to bite the bullet and go after warlords and Shit, rewarding but I don't feel like hiking in the planes of Africa with lions and shit, just to kill a few niggers

Shit feels like I'm I'm a movie now, if y'all hear about a new American defector In North Korea or hear about some crazy shit happing in Africa you'll know who it was ;)

you have a hitler shirt nazi scum

so no

#ImWithHer

Read that as 'Procreated is me'. Which is true but sort of beside the point.

Done it a couple of times but best done if you aren't responsible like when traveling with your parents, obviously you don't want to fall asleep in the airport and miss your flight. It's fairly effective and if you're lucky you can sleep through it completely

>>1199947
sleeping pills and staying up m8. its [current year] after all

I've done this with an 7 hr flight and 8 hr layover after.

Short story: I ended up not sleeping much on the flight, and crashing at Singapore airport. I found one of those sleeping chairs, and fell asleep on that. Missed my connecting flight, and had to pay $200 for another one.

22, trying to get into Summer course @ Cook St. culinary school. All i'll be taking is a bust there and my computer with around 2 weeks of clothes.
Checked out local shelters and junk. And some jump start homeless program sounds promising but idk if i would fit the bill.
I'm pretty sure churches/missions are the jumpstreet stopping point when i hit the city right?

>>1199801
bruh you know chef's don't get paid shit right? I wouldn't do this if I were you, Denver is not a great place to be homeless this time of year

>>1199830
Yeah and? what am i supposed to do? There's no likely way to just find myself over the middle class of society. i might as well do what i want to do and live in the struggle like the world wants me to

>>1199700
That's fucking retarded, pick a school based on what you would like to earn a living with. Location means jack shit these days, 4 years are going to fly by without you even noticing.

>>1199756
That's naive, proximity to relevant industry can be extremely helpful for finding a good internship or career post-grad.

Boston area for example is great if you'll be entering any sort of STEM program, also there's a huge variety of schools to choose from

>>1199700
A way to get by in life with shitty academic history is to 1) do the community/junior college until Associate's degrees is earned, then get into upper level education through the deals the State Universities have where they MUST accept all credit courses if you matriculated out of the community colleges. It's like an easy way to ensure you'll finish. Doing well in your Associates can help you get into something competitive at the upper level like physical therapy. Picking a state to go to school is silly. You stay close to family if you're not in fact trying to get into the Top 5 engineering so you catch a good grad school down the line (or whatever your career dream is).
2) You very heartily consider a vocational program of high demand. It might sound silly but an electrician (for example) might ensure your actual job happiness beyond beginning your life in 3-4 extra years and relying upon another human to pay your way. Just Google
'top 50 highest demand careers" in say "Florida" and don't knock the blue collar high job security sector if it interests you. You'll learn outside of doctors, and computer analysts, like 38/50 will be vocational 2yrs. If you think you are a poor work habits, not high IQ kind of guy, then settle for a while. You can always go back to school. All the time and money your grandfather invests in you (at 21-25) accounts for little if you quit early. Know thyself. You can grow up really fast when you enter a field where you are highly wanted.

I know this doesn't help that much but everything does happen for a reason, only most of the time you realize it way later.

Keep strong and don't let that traveler spirit die.

Yeah man, I've lost thousands too due to unforeseen circumstances related to travel.

Just save up, and travel some other time. This happens to a lot of people friend

And things could be a lot worse.
If you recover well, at least you have your health. I know it doesn't sound helpful, but think about it, it is.

And yes, as the other anon said, never let that traveler spirit die, you will travel again some other time

>>1199648
Shit happens.
Get well soon.

Stay out of Downtown Dallas. Place is crawling with hobos. Same goes for Southwest Dallas

If you wanna feel relatively safe, go to the northern parts of Dallas, such as Addisson, Plano, Carrollton, etc.

Each neighborhood has its own thing going on. Be sure to do look at what is going on around your area. You may come across a festival of some kind.

>Food:
If you like comfy French food, you can try La Madeline.

If pizza is more of your thing, there are more options for pizza than Domino's or Pizza Hut. My favorite is Picasso's.

For breakfast, I would recommend Waffle House if you haven't had it yet.

>Transport:
Unlike other parts of Texas, Uber and Lyft are still in operation in Dallas. Use them if you don't have access to a car.

Their public transport is also good. The DART is a metro that goes to other parts of the metroplex.

As a Dallas native I recommend nothing. It's boring as shit. Go to Deep Ellum to see some shitty bands or head to the Bishop Arts District, there are some good restaurants there. Fuck off.

>>1199551

if i was in dallas right now i'd be banging mexican women left and right

outside of that there's not much to do

It's very cool, but you need to stay away from tourist traps.

Times Square and rockefeller center is trash. Broadway sucks you can get better theater for cheaper.
Go to:
>the met opera
>Upper West side west 72nd area
>Soho to people watch
>Sylvia's in Harlem is a classic
>Williamsburg is overrated but has good beer. I don't care if it's hipster. Hipsters make good food and beer.
>smalls jazz club in Greenwich Village
>mcsorleys pub on 7th Street
>go to lower Manhattan and see the bull and wall street
>the met, cloisters, frick collection, and Brooklyn museum are all worth seeing

Try to avoid midtown as much as possible

>>1199547
I'm a New Yorker and went to the McSorley's bar for the first time on Sunday, it was pretty cool. A good place to start the night off.

>>1199547
Oh and Williamsburg to me isn't necessarily that hipster, it just seems like a place all kinds of people go to hang out kind of like the East Village or LES.

I mean yes Williamsburg was once upon a time the hipster center, but it seems like that's Bushwick these days as Williamsburg has gotten super expensive.

Please help me.

>10 minute bumps
>on /trv/

Fuck off if you can't even be bothered to read the fucking sticky.

>>1199512
My mistake. I apologise, friend.
