So you don't have money?

>>1199606
I'd rather not spend a whole bunch.

Where are you from? And why are you looking for Buddhist temples in Europe?

This would be me if I lost my job.

My personal dream trip if I was in your place...

My math would be, flights with a bit of extra budget for security (eg. need to do a last minute booking on the way back, or I want to bring extra stuff, or I want to bring my bike): 2k for both ways.
I'm crazy so I always keep another 1k just in case my cheap insurances don't cover something.

I would either get the new yearly multiple-entry Chinese visa they rolled out for my country (something like 100usd), and cycle all over the place... Or I might just stay in Europe and do a mixture of bivvying, couchsurfing, camping from Norway to the Balkans, and everything in between.

Pros in my head for China: I've barely seen any of it. Would be something relatively new. Has a wide range of scenery and climate and some tricky roads. Extremely cheap, so wouldn't need to think what to buy.

Pros re Europe: I have more friends all over the place, so if shit its the fan they can help, or actually I can crash their couches, too. I know a lot of the languages. Good bike roads in some countries.

Just my two cents.

Idk why I left out the US, probably cause my stomach cannot handle American food, no matter how careful I am what I eat there. Australia I cannot imagine on a budget, but idk, maybe doable.
I didn't choose the rest of the world cause I'm not really into using mosquito repellant all the time, and mosquitos love me.

I'd hire a prostitute who can pull off leopard print and lets me call her Jane. I'd fly to Bioko island with her. There we'd build a treehouse in the jungle and live in it for six months. I'd send her to Malabo for groceries once a month.
That should squeeze into a 10k budget. Depends on the girl,

Why would you make two threads on the same topic, you silly BR?

Seems nice, just don't stop in Malmö. Just don't. It's the fucking Iraq (as in a warzone) of Sweden.

>>1199326
Just arrived in Bergen today. It's truly gorgeous. But this is also my first time in Europe.

>>1199335
And it's whiter and safer than any American city.

Check the conditions on the tickets. They're almost certainly non-transferable, or if they are it will be for a fee. So you'll have to find someone with the same name as you.

I've checked it, 45€/ticket for name change
But how to find someone who wanna fly these?

>>1199320
get yourself sick on those dates, get a refund from your insurance company. If you don't have insurance, you deserve your shit.

Motorbiking in the foothills of the Himalayas in India / September 2016.

Don't really know the guy in front of me too well. He was from Germany and wanted to learn how to ride. He did surprisingly well but apparently took a fall after I lost track of him on the way back to Manali from a day-trip to Kasol.

Nope. Probably like 95% of all Canadians speak English, maybe more.

>>1198908
Not unless you are going to French Canada (Québec). People in the rest of Canada don't even speak French.
You're dumb and your thread sucks.

>>1198919
Pretty sure that most french Canadians speak english as a second language as well

To see any of those places properly you'll want a rental car. This is something you can more easily afford if you had friends along, for sure, splitting the cost 2ways or 4ways.
If you only went to Vegas, you could survive on tours to sights nearby. But not for the other states, and gorgeous national parks between them. Driving requires a certain age and credit with most car rental companies (are you over 25?).

>>1198860

I am.

But I don't have a driving license. One of my friends might have, though.

>>1198861
What are you, fucking underage?

The reduced price ticket booth on Leicester Square is a good way to get cheapish tickets on the day.

The National Theatre (on the South Bank) and the Barbican (near the City of London) can be substantially cheaper than West End theatres, but the quality of shows can easily be as good or better. The Barbican theatre especially has much better views and sightlines of the stage - from every seat - than do most of the cramped and Victorian theatres in the West End.

>>1198822
These anons know. It's straight forward and you can buy online, too, quite close to the performance day if you are not after the very best (or the very cheapest). I've seen some great stuff at the National Theatre and Young Vic in the last couple of years, and I recall getting some last minute tickets to see Martin Freeman (the Hobbit) in Richard III on the day.

There's so much going on, OP, you should find somethign you like.

I went last January and there wasn't a multitude of traps like I normally see in European cities during summer. I really enjoyed it because of the low number of people. Only thing I ran into was one restaurant tried to double charge me the VAT on a meal.

>>1198769
Thanks anon I'll keep an eye out for it
Hows their English? Should I learn some basic Czech

Where can I see the futuristic parts of the city that are shown in Deus Ex?

Taking the initiative is usually admired ... As long as your timing g is right.

It's an experiment tbqh, some will be friendly to cold approaches, some will be welcoming.

Never ever assume though that you know 100% how a person would react.

Don't be a shriveling wallflower in hostels. I'm a shriveling wallflower by nature, but with practice I've become able to make friends at hostels.
Most of these encounters happen either with one other person when he/she walks into the kitchen where I'm cooking (so what are you having for dinner? That looks awesome. I think I saw some oregano in the free food shelf if you need it.)
Or in the common room wherea group of people have paused conversation long enough for me to interrupt (so where are you guys from?)
The key is to keep the conversation going once it's started.

Option B is to travel to countries where all the locals want to be friends with you, like Morocco, Iran, rural UK.

Have found it pretty easy even as an almost friendless loser, atleast in SEA. Just sit in a crowded chill bar and you'll get invited over to some local or travler group.
Just last night I went to a bar for a beer after dinner, got seated next to a group of Vietnamese men, one of whom could speak English. Drank all night and gave me a ton of food, took me to a great pho place after, then we chilled drinking tea and eating sunflower seeds.

>but I never see South American trips on this board.
>Is there a reason for that?
Maybe you don't lurk enough, no offence. There are occasional South America threads here on /trv/.

It's difficult for us random unknown anons to just choose for you. Knowing Spanish is a great plus. You probably don't need me to tell you South America is an awesome continent.

11k is perfectly possible if you mainly stick to Peru, Bolivia, and I assume Ecuador.

You are right though, SEA seems to be the standard backpacking destination. Maybe because it's cheap, and doesn't have a negative rep like other cheap places like South America, which is totally undeserved.

The best time I had in New York City was when I went on one of those double decker bus tours all around the city.

When I started to take the train and all that stuff it sort of sucked.

Would like to meet up with a friend in Manhattan for a day before she comes back down to her home. Aside from driving what's a good mode of transport from around the DC area to there?

>>1198669
Depends a little on how much lead time you have. The train (Amtrak) is nice, but it's kind of expensive if you can't book a month in advance.

>that countdown in Shibuya
Who /normie/ here?

>>1198014
Do they even allow any gatherings in Shibuya anymore? The crossing was fenced off last year and for Halloween

I spent a summer in Japan studying and have decent conversation skills. I did some fun stuff during that time and met lots of people, but I never got laid.

3 years later I am a much different person and getting laid will be easier (confidence, lifting).

Going to start planning my trip for after graduation. Any tips on where I should go or what I should do? Looking at 2 weeks. I could do a month and rent an apartment in a area good for bring back girls.

>>1197927
What are you looking for?

>>1197927
Winchester, according to some recent survey

>>1197927
Go to Norwich OP

>2hrs to London
>Great blend of modern and older architecture
>Not too expensive
>Loads of pubs
>Surprisingly diverse selection of foods
>Arguably some of the best beaches in the country near by
>We also have the best weather
>Locals have a funny accent

Downsides:
>no real hills outside of the City if this matters
>Not really near anything else of importance

>Isn't it all just more of the same?

it's different enough.

>>1197836
Same same but different. Like a mod and skin on the video game of life, to put it in terms you would understand

>>1197836
>What motivates you to travel?
I want to see what the world is like. See beautiful spots, how people live, eat their food, make friends, have fun.
>Isn't it all just more of the same?
I guess the world is so uniform these days that in some ways many things are the same. But if you want to see what background your neighbours come from, if you want to taste the truly authentic food (not just americanized), if you want to feel the local climate, you really need to go to the source.
>Doesn't it all become so bothersome?
No. When I'm 60+ I will look back and think about all the wonderful moments I've had traveling and not at the days I spent in my room doing shit all. This is why I never think it's difficult to travel.
