Just stay in the City.

>>1197656
Mórelia is 5 hours from the DF
Puebla, Cholula and Tlaxcala are close to the east.
Quéretaro is a few hours away.
To the north you have Tula de Allende and El Tajín...

How far are you willing to drive? The DF has plenty to see by itself. How long will you be staying in the country?

>>1197721
I'll probably be in the country about a week. I'm willing to spend about half of that outside of Mexico City. I was actually looking at doing Morelia and Lake Camecuaro, but the state department warnings for Michocan scared my travel partners.

>>1197397
>two week

That's a really short time frame if you intend to do any of the main treks.

>$5k AUD after flights to do it. Anyone been before or know much about prices there?

It's pretty hard to spend money in Nepal unless you're buying a bunch of alcohol and hash every day. I spent < US$500 in 4 weeks, excluding flights to Lukla

>Should I book a guided tour or just do it alone?

You haven't given any indication as to what you want to do. Nepal is pretty safe (excluding traffic accidents) and english is widely spoken. You don't absolutely need a guide unless you go trekking in a region in which the government requires one. However I'd recommend a guide if you do any mountain treks. They are fairly cheap (US$20/day) and probably a good idea if you're trekking alone

Is Nepal still worth it even after the quake wrecked shit?

>>1197401

Yeah. The temples in kathmandu were still fucked up, but beyond that everything was fine

I haven't had those physical symptoms, but the emotions you describe are very common; I've been there many times.
My philosophy in that situation is "Take control". Do whatever it takes. Take a break. Take a boat to an island to chill out alone. Do HelpX for a couple weeks. Spend a few days in the wilderness. Don't go home except as a last resort.

>>1197388
Oh, and make fists with your toes.

>>1197388
Yeah I think you're right, ive done two tours back to back and been gogogo even in between.

I need some relax time.

I feel a bit better today after having a much slower day yesterday.

Queenstown; in fact the South Island > North Island

Just finished my week vacation in the north island. What do you wanna know?

>>1197428
It seems south island has more nature for ecotourism or adventure trips and the north is more cosmopolita... Or am I wrong?

>>1197557
Must-see spots (urban and naturals) and shows/events (tipically from there), foods should not miss (and where if possible), any warnings should I know, hostel/hotel for staying (I would say for visiting the zone of Queenstown, Wellington, Christchurch and the zone of Auckland/the city of the Hobbiton movie set)

If only we could switch places

just cuz no one really replied, ill extend the courtesy despite falling asleep in bed.

A degree in physics is really smart, even smarter would be applied math. From which you can get into whatever field you want: academia, reasearch or industry. Finding a job in the US wont be hard but id recommend you first try doing an exchange for a semester or two. If ur uni isnt shit tier it should many good exchange partners in the US so living there for a year would give you a good idea of what its like.

Dude I would litteraly sell my identity for your identity. Fuck america

Had a relative do this. Aim for some sort of exec job within a multinational corporation. You may be required to meet with branches around the world. If you're married or have a kid, being always away will fuck with your relationship big time.

Certain project oriented IT jobs are location independent and usually revolve more around deadlines rather than a 9-5 schedule.
But it's not like you can just "fall into" such a job.

You can teach english in Asia but then you'd be making peanuts.

Night zoo
Makan Sutra / Gluttons Bay
Sentosa Island
Marina Bay and the Gardens are interesting

Taxis are cheap, use the hop on hop off bus. It's a funny city, almost utopian in a way.

Orchars Towers at night turns into the Four Floors of Whores.

eg. the newton food centre is touristy af, but some rayfish is still nice there

Hit up the japan general thread and skim through it to see what others are doing to get ideas then. "they aren't weeaboos either"

If you honestly aren't a weaboo (protip, you are) there is no reason to go to Japan.

>What brings you to the UK?
Flips through passport.
>And how long are you here for?
Scans passport.
>And is this your first time in the UK?
Scans and files landing card.
>And will you be staying here in Manchester?
Stamps passport.
>Thank you.

>>1196720
thanks bruv

The US interrogates everyone coming through their borders, including their own citizens, so I can understand why you ask this. But other countries really don't do it, especially not to US citizens, who are so unlikely to be there to cause trouble.

Israel is the only place that I can think of as being as bad as the US on entry.

Lol fucking vegetarian

>what is your vegetarian option
>oh, we've got a lovely salmon

kek, errytime, those poor veggers.

Was this your first time flying? This is really common in economy class. Be a big boy and eat your mac and cheese or pay three times as much to fly business class.

>>1196434

don't forget crazy stupid high rent, liberal morons, and mexicans

the beaches are horrible and dirty around there these days. You are like 30yrs off for that.

>Yeah, 2 nights in Venice sounds too long, but we need to catch our bus from there.

I stayed there 4 nights and am going back there this summer again

Venice is a lovely city, even with all the tourists

>>1196399
Sounds great. What can you recommend there as it's my girlfriend's birthday when we arrive in Venice. We are on a short budget, so cheaper or free activities would be appreciated.

What is the ideal route to go between the following cities?

Florence, Venice, Rome, Cinque terre. Only gonna be there a week, so I know it isn't a lot of time but I may be able to extend it to 10 days. But yeah I was wondering what city I should start out in and where to go from there. Thanks.

Wow I live in Cornwall! Finally a thread I can contribute to!
I can't say much about good places to go for St Piran's Day but they'll likely have something going on in Truro (the only city in Cornwall) or St Austell or Penzance maybe.

Ok so just off the top of my head here are a few good "must see" things

>The north coast beaches/cliffs
The beaches along the north coast of Cornwall are beautiful in the summer. But are also kind of busy too. I would highly recommend Trebarwith Strand, it's a pretty big beach with these huge dynamic cliffs, and a neat little pub too.
>St Austell Brewery
St Austell is a pretty shit town, but it's beer is famous around the UK. Doombar is one of my favorites. You could probably get a tour of the brewery if you're interested too.
>Bodmin Moor
I love just walking around Bodmin Moor. Brown willy is the the highest point in Cornwall, it's not very high really, and it's more of a glorified hill but it sure is a nice one. I like to go camping on Bodmin moor a lot but be careful because there are a lot of random hidden bogs which are VERY dangerous. Buy an Ordinance survey map, that might help.
>Bodmin Jail
If you're into cool spooky things Bodmin Jail is a must see. You can do night tours and stuff sometimes, however I would recommend showing up like an hour before they close and just waiting around for everyone to clear out. Then you have the whole jail to yourself in the dark for as long as you decide to leave. However if you stay past, like, midnight they might come in and ask you to leave.
>St Micheal's Mount
St Micheal's mount is nice if you like old historical houses/castles. It's built on an island and you can only walk to it during low tide. (pic related)
>Lanhydrock house
another cool historic national trust historic house place. It's basically this huge grand Victorian manor house which has been very well preserved. It also has some pretty amazing gardens.

>Boscastle
I really like this cute little town, mostly for the museum of witchcraft they've got. So again if you're interested in cool spooky things I would highly recommend this place. Boscastle also has some really nice shops.
>Tintagel
Another really nice town with cool shops, however this place is most famous for Tintagel Castle. Supposedly this was actually the castle of which the King Arthur myth came from. Right now it's just ruins but they're really cool ruins in the cliffs. (pic related)
>Cardinham Woods
If you like easy woodland walks this place is great. It's a small pine forest near bodmin moor but it's perfect for small easy trail walks. There's also a nice cafe there
>Lands End
this is an obvious one. Make sure to check out the Minack theater when you're there.
>Truro
as previously stated, this is the only city in Cornwall and I think it's only considered a city due the to it's impressive cathedral in the center. It's the smallest city you'll ever see and is more like a large town with a cathedral. It's a nice place to go shopping though
>Fowey
one of many small seaside towns along the south coast. Another is Mevagissey. They're both very similar.
>Restormel Castle
Another castle ruin, it's a lot smaller and less impressive than Tintagel but if you like castle ruins I'd recommend it. A few others worth noting are Pendennis Castle, Trematon Castle and Launceston Castle.
>Eden Project
This is a very famous well known tourist attraction here in Cornwall It's basically just two huge domes with jungles inside them. It was built in an old quarry. In the winter they have Ice Skating and they often have bands perform here too.

Anyway that's all I could think of just off the top of my head, I'll be sure to post more stuff if I remember anything. Might I ask where you're from? If you're not from the UK I sure would be interested in knowing about whatever country you're from.

A lot of great advice, I'm writing this down, thanks! At first I thought Cornwall would be one or two weekends, but I think I'll be there a lot.

I'm from Georgia, in the military and got orders saying my first base is going to be pretty close to Cornwall, and I'm hoping I can check it out in time for Piran's Day if I put my savings into a car pretty soon after I get there. It looks like the UK is packed with history and comfy towns, I have a feeling I'm going to love it. So far the military has been awesome, I've never been able to travel like this before.

>North coast beaches and cliffs
I'm pretty sure that's where St. Piran's Cross is, there's a procession of thousands of people from the beach to the ruins, and they've just been excavated so that'll be cool.
>Bodmin Moor, Cardinham Woods
Absolutely love hiking and the outdoors, they look beautiful. Eagle Scout here, that shit's my jam, yo.

>>1196002
I'm planning to do the Mongol Rally when I get out of the military in 4 years. Look at the videos on Youtube people make of that, they're inspiring and informative.

>car breaks down
Get some basic car knowledge, let it cool before you attempt to drive, be careful where you are, and get help from locals when people come along. The good thing about remote roads is that even though it'll be a few hours, most drivers realize people who are stuck need help.

>contact relatives
Get one of those SOS beacons. You push a button and they come to help. It's ONLY if you're on the verge of starving because that is life-or-death and they charge you for use of emergency services. Never heard of anyone needing it on the route.

>Pamir Hwy
Idk, I've seen it done on the Mongol Rally with Ladas, Trabants, Yugos and all sorts of beaters. Your ride WILL break down though.

>Mines
Consider going around. There's a lot of freaky, otherworldly stuff in Kazakhstan, and you can always just dip into the other -stans for shits and giggles.

>Guided tours
You'll be driving through so many mountains idk if you'd want to hike.

Where will you apply for your Turkmen transit visa?

>>1196122

We also thought about doing the Mongol Rally, but we came to the conclusion taht we dont want to have their limitations forced upon us and rather do our own thing.

>even though it'll be a few hours
Thats what Im worrying about. If someone passes you every few hours, things dont sound that dangerous but I wonder if its actually hours or days you would have to wait (eg on a mongolian dirt road).
The beacon sounds like a great idea though.

>Consider going around.
Actually, Kazakhstan seems much less interresting to us than the other stans.

>You'll be driving through so many mountains idk if you'd want to hike.
Driving through a lot of mountains and then not hiking there sounds awful to me.

>>1196184
At the Turkmen embassy in my country, which happens to be rather close to my home.

Bumping


I've always wanted to do this, but I can't rn because of school

Im working on building a business online so that I can be a nomad without worrying about my income stream.

>>1195293
What kind of business?
I always wonder how people come up with an online business niche that doesn't already have a billion gorillion competitors.
