It would help if you told us what kind of vacation you want. Relax/beach only? Diving? More adventerous? Also, what is your budget?

Fiji has a slight crime problem but nothing that should stop you, the others are completely safe. Beware though that French Polynesia is expensive as fuck, especially Bora Bora.

You ass holes better respond because I'm going to New Orleans for 3 nights in October and I'm interested to know

>>1181955
Do some touristy shit in the French Quarter. Go see live music on Frenchmen St. The obvious foods to search out are red beans and rice, gumbo, jambalaya, po'boys, boudin and other Cajun things. Get a Muffuletta sandwich. If you want to get off the beaten track the fried chicken at Willie Mae's Scotch House is excellent. The small plates at Bacchanal are very good, and a walk through Bywater is a great way to see some of the modest but brightly painted wooden shotgun houses. If you want to get your heart broken take a walk (during the day) through the Lower 9th. If you don't have a strong stomach don't do that last one.

The area around Bourbon and Canal is pure tourist trap stuff, but you can figure that out on your own. And toss some money in a street band's bucket - many of them are good, and make their living that way.

OP here. I don't understand the heart broken/Lower 9th comment.

And yes, touristy stuff is what I'd prefer to see and experience.

P.S. Is New Orleans overall a safe city? Is New Orleans a small city to walk around in and see all the main things in three days, or should I rent a car?

And any more info is welcome.

if u dont feel like hitting bars you can just go here and get very cheap sex from nigerians

>>1181137
you wanna bike across the country or what?
you like art and shieet or drinking cheap wine with slutty american tourists?

You gotta give us something to work with.

I myself traveled in Italy using every possible mean and never felt threatened, but I guess some parts of Napoli or Rome can be dangerous during night time. Language is really simple for english speakers but imo use duolingo - it's 'faster' so better for an easier language, also you can dl it for free on your phone.

In Italy you can always plan a trip of your life but you have to know exactly what are you looking for.

>>1181650
Biking would be great, but not as the whole focus of the trip. Probably wouldn't be super compelled to go to any art galleries, and drinking cheap wine with slutty american tourists would be pretty good too.

I also really want to go to Venice, that is the main thing I would like to visit, but aside from that I'm sure there would be really cool things to do for the other 4-5 days I'm there (planning a week total).

Exploration and getting lost around other towns would be very nice I think.

I think its because you are exposing yourself to new stimuli which can obviously be stressful and overwhelming. Your travel partners will very likely be exposed to a wider range of your emotive capability and through the course of several days and even weeks may sour any relationship that isn't built on a solid foundation. I learned this the hard way after I went travelling throughout Alberta with a friend.

Alone I do what I want when I want. Want to sleep in the Hostel all day? I will. Want to go on a bus for two days and get to the highlands? I will.
On my own, if I meet someone fun, I can go and party with them and see what happens. I can change my plan in a second without discussing it with a friend.
Alone I am forced to meet new people because I will get lonely, whereas with a friend I wouldn't be as open to new people.

It can get lonely, but it's the way.

>>1180830
>Why does traveling with others suck so bad
It doesn't in the company of like minded people. You can get very close to someone even on a short trip.

As the anon above said, the relationship has to have a pretty solid foundation.

That of course doesn't detract from how special traveling alone can be either.

Kenya is your absolute best bet.

How easy are the black girls?

>without getting murdered/raped/HIV/kidnapped/ISIS'd?

...You can't go to Africa.

Go outside Reykjavík, do the Golden Circle and the Ring Road (at least the south coast). All the attractions are a few steps away from the parking lot so your parents will be fine. Enjoy Iceland

>>1180371
The Golden Circle is off-limits during the winter months if you try to drive through it you will be arrested.

>>1179681
it depends on the condition of your parents as to what you can do in Iceland.

I've been twice in summer and winter and will try to offer some advice.

I would recommend renting a car no matter what you have planned, as it will be easier to get around. You won't have much daylight near xmas and the weather will be cold and possibly windy.

There is plenty to do in Reykjavik such as eating, hot baths, museums etc. just google tourist attractions (don't go to blue lagoon as it sucks).

you could do worse than spending a few days in reykjavik, then driving down the south coast as its as easy drive and also picturesque. also the west fjords are nice. bear in mind that there can be long drives and your parents may get bored, your call.

as anon mentioned, a lot of attractions are very close to parking lots so you won't have to drive far, but bear in mind that waterfalls in winter are VERY icy so look after your folks around them ok?

Have a great time, its a beautiful country

>>1179049
Depends.

Probably Yemen.

If you're the sort of person that can't keep their mouth shut and follow the rules then I would say North Korea, otherwise it is quite safe.

>>1179051
>Yemen
why Yemen?

islamic state of iraq and al-sham
yemen
libya
afghanistan
somalia
south sudan

regions:
Pakistan tribal areas
north-east nigeria
insurgent areas in southern philippines
eastern DRC
maybe southern algeria

i hope you have a lot of money

>>1152266
I will be saving what little I get from now until next year (maybe I'll have ~£1k by january), could you tell me where most of my expenses would be going?

>>1152270

By trek do you mean like walk? How do you expect to buy months worth of food in Siberia with £1k?

Traveling without money and without at least rich parents to bail you out is asking for a shit situation

Actually the French have such poor grasp of English that many of them can't even put a sentence together but instead of taking this opportunity to improve it here in an English speaking country surrounded by English speaking travelers, they instead group together and don't even learn the basics. I wonder how my roommate got a job as a waiter because he doesn't know more than 20 words of English but he doesn't do anything other than hang out with other French people and skype with his friends back home in his spare time. I understand that grouping together is just easier, I do it too as I speak a second language that's somewhat obscure on the world travel stage. But if I'm in a hostel with people from all over I'll try to talk to everyone around even if talking with them is difficult due to language barriers. It's just rude as fuck to sit and exclude people if they're right next to you but it seems they don't feel that way...

People are just dumb with money.

When I was a teenager I worked at Best Buy. Most people there making about 10 to 11 dollars an hour. Every fucking day after work they would walk across the street and get drinks at chilies. They would spend 50+ dollars a night on drinks. Come into work with a hangover and complain they have no money.

>she's so poor she can't afford food and is asking for places to eat for free
>eat for free

LMAO.

>vegan
Double LMAO. Probably spent her last money on 250 gram $50 tofu 'meat'balls.

>$20 entry fee and $12 drinks
Not if you're an attractive woman.
They literally get in for free. Thirsty orbiters buy HER drinks.

>They fucking start their skype chats
Hostel in Tunis, this black African woman puts her phone on speaker and yells loudly at 22:00 and later, the rooms have amazing acoustic properties so it just amplifies everything, sounds like a bullhorn. So loud African woman in French, both receiving and yelling at phone. Fun stuff.

>Same hostel, a year later

Some Arab pulls out his laptop and starts listening to the same Islamic song 10 times. He had headphones on though. Either they weren't plugged in properly or the audio device was not changed, but w/e the main point was that the sound was coming off from the laptop's speakers.

craigslist japan maybe?

I think it's kinda sad you'd feel the need to pay people 200€ per day to spend Christmas with you in your house, but that's 4chan for you I guess.
There's harder ways to earn money though, so I don't think it should be hard to find someone to fill the job.

I have $120k in my bank pocket and I just moved to Australia. Goal is to work here for a year or two, save up as much as possible, and then go to Asia to spend those savings.

Really easy to get jobs here. I found a job only a few days after landing here. There are many cases of people getting restaurant industry jobs within 2 days of looking. I have an admin job so you can see just how easy it is to get one, back in Canada any admin job takes ages to process.

>>1185591
You need a 4 year degree to work in Japan. I think it's the same in South Korea, at least for public schools. Hogwons might be different.

Figure out when the worst rush hour is in LA, and get out an hour before that. I'm guessing that means leaving around 3 am. That'll put you in Phoenix around 10am, well last their morning rush hour. Driving towards the rising sun, don't forget your sunglasses.

What day of the week are you leaving? That makes a big difference too. I've done the drive from OC to Phoenix a bunch and we usually leave in the early morning around 8 am. Never encountered any traffic that I can recall.

early in the morning,
Phoenix traffic isn't that bad
