I only travel to avoid western women
I wish I could come home:(

Traveling to Thailand seriously changed my mind.
I stopped being suicidal, stopped dating women and realized that true love can be only found with ladyboys.

Once I cut off all dating and relationships with women, I became much more relaxed person.

A lot of guys I know take a year out to travel the well beaten path of SEA and Australia then come home and pick up exactly where they left off, doing the same old shit.

So no - I wouldn't say travel deeply changes most people.

$10k

Depending on how you want to live, how much moving around you want to do etc, $10k can comfortably give you a year.

simple apartment with AC, homecooked or semi-street food

5 story 3 bed house with 2 friends is like 60us a month in a really nice area, hanoi wifi is the worst thing in the world, power outages i havent experienced in my three months here hanoi has been perfect temp wise though the pollution is another thing altogether

Bump

This place is usually so helpful, maybe thread went unnoticed.

give it time, threads often take days or even weeks to get replies

Huh, my last thread I posted this summer must have been a fast one then. Thanks for the heads up.

Don't.
It's an overpriced dirty shithole.

>>1191020

>you will never press your face between her cheeks and smell her ass.

It's not fair!
Is facesitting a common practice in Colombia?

So... you wanna go to Columbia to meet women? Aren't there any women in your city..?

yah, but im average at best and tinder sucks if your average/ugly looking male

colombian girls just want their gtfo green card, and im cool with that...

Not like im going to marry them...

Could always go to rural Canada. Even somewhere like Montreal is usually covered in a few feet of snow come February. Avoid Toronto, it gets no snow for some reason, it's just cold and windy.

>>1195737
It is beautiful or is that just a stereotypical snowy place? Also, isn't snow in a major city like Montreal gonna be dirty as hell?

Also, what's the best logistics to visit snow?

I found taking the Hurtigruten up the coast of Norway in February worked well to see snow. Bergen was rainy, but Trondheim and north was definitely snowy. The prices are relatively low in February, and in the few clear nights you might see the Aurora Borealis.

You paid directly to the host by paypal? You should pay only to airbnb, otherwise it's a violation of the terms.

>Host says it's not available
>Tell him to cancel me
>Doesn't respond
>Insist on him cancelling me and saying stuff like "Im going to get my bank involved"

I got my money back and $60 AirBNB credit to use in the future.
Used it on a place that I was scraping the ceiling with my head. I'm 6'2" and that's not optimal.

They e-mailed me 2 times after that to make sure everything was alright. Pleasantly surprised to be honest. You got your money back and enough credit, right? What more do you want to hear from them?

>>1195679
Hopefully you enjoy the rest of your trip. Unfortunately, you may have made a big mistake by paying outside of Airbnb so hopefully you get your money back.

Sarajevo, Riga or Brasov would be my recommendations

I would go for either Eastern Europe (Riga like the other anon said is very nice but not much to do. Budapest, or Krakow are otherwise very nice cities and less 'typical' than Prague)
or to the South (Southern Spain, Portugal, Croatia) it's very nice in this season since there's few tourists compared with the summer and the weather is nicer than in the UK.

How about Bratislava or Budapest? These cities are very affordable and not completely typical.

you might need a bit more cash than that

>>1195566
How long are you going for? One month you have plenty of cash heading towards two you might be cutting it fine accommodation in paris London and Amsterdam especially during high season runs about 25 a night.

>>1195577
hotels, flights and activities are all accounted for

im taking about $3000 just to have on me you know, for drinks and shit.... good enough?

It's not really obscure (hah) at all but Obscura antiques in NYC is pretty fucking cool

great pic buddy

when I was a kid my family went to costa rica

we went to arenal volcano, and close by in the middle of nowhere was a store neptune's hammocks

it was a hammock/head shop, owner was a black guy with a fro who stunk of weed (I didn't know it was weed until I was older, but I couldn't forget the smell) and the reddest eyes I've ever seen, and he had a hot light skinned assistant wearing a tube top and corn rows

think the hammock I bought is still in my parent's basement

found a pic online of it, glad he's still living the dream

You don't need a passport to travel from California to Minnesota.

Also an undercoat is recommended but you don't need one if you get your car washed every 10 days or so. (undercoat is probably less expensive depending on how long you're staying in Minnesota). How long do you plan to spend?

I'm actually planning on moving there. I have a buddy who's living up there right now. We're gonna find a house and move in together.

Always good to check your oil level and tire pressure beforehand. If you feel yourself starting to get tired, pull over and take a nap. Snacks, music/podcasts, and rolling down the windows helps too.

Also good to know how to change a tire, and to have a pair of jumper cables in the trunk.

Just some random tips. Anything in particular you're concerned about?

How is Georgia for non-Russian nor Georgian speaker?

both countries are really cheap if your from a developed country and off the beaten path for westerners that locals are friendly, even if most don't know much english

nagorno-karabakh is a meme, you can get a taxi and pay a fee to transit there, but unless you want to meet a specific local or site there's nothing there that's different from the rest of the country, go if your the kind of person who brags about how many stamps are in your passport

georgia has a more developed tourist industry and is normally considered nicer by people without a connection to ether country, there's a lot more tourists because of soviet development and they get along with their neighbors better

good thing about armenia is because so much of their tourism is based on the diaspora in america, english is a bit more common, even though young people in both countries know a bit

with their generous no visa policy and cheap cost of living I could see Georgia becoming the next place young travelers go to to bum around for a few months

>there's nothing there that's different from the rest of the country
Nigger, it's like you haven't even been to Shushi.

>>1194827
>Is going to Nagorno-Karabakh worth it?
If you go to Shushi, yes.

>>1194822
Budapest, Belgrade, Prague, Krakow.
Any of those or all of them depending on your trip length.

Out of those, imo Budapest has the most to offer with a cheap price tag. Nightlife is great, nice architecture, good hostels and cheap food.

>I have absolutely no preference for anything
>Where should I go
Go to fucking Birmingham. That's not how this works.

Also your budget is a worthless piece of information without knowing how long you're planning to stay.

>>1194830
Thanks

>>1194831
My bad. We're planning a 2 - 7 day trip (depending on how much the quid will stretch). First time travelling so I'm up for anything

I've been to Birmingham, it was shit

20% tip for pretty much everything (security, passport control, escalator use etc.)

You dont need any money at an airport if you have your ticket already
Maybe a $20-30 cab into manhattan and then a $30 unlimited metro card

>>1194837
don't forget to clap

if you don't do it you can get fined (don't forget to tip the fine)

Also what should I bring for proof of my immunizations? My actual record, or will a photocopy work?
