no one here ever done it?

using a van or RV is for pussies. Get a tent and a sleeping bag. Otherwise you are not even camping.

New Yorkers are pretty friendly but a lot of them are busy going somewhere so they won't notice you unless you say something first.

Central Park would be a nice place to go over Christmas. The best food you'll get will either be in small locally-owned shops or street vendors.

>are new yorkers friendly

I grew up close to NYC and have been there countless times. New Yorkers are very busy people. If you stay out of their way you wouldn't have a problem

>I heard Sweden food is terrible.

Not Swedish meatball's though.

Also, check out that one 400-year-old shipwreck in Stockholm that they recovered almost intact because it was preserved in icy water for all those years. Pretty epic site once you see it.

>I heard Sweden food is terrible.

Well then you are misinformed dear Anon. Try Pelikan, Tennstopet, Tradition, Tranan and Kvarnen for traditional swedish food, Aifur and Sjätte tunnan for viking food, Flippin Burgers, Phil's Burgers and Gnarly Burgers for...well burgers, and of course Svejk for czech food. The Vasa Museum is a must, and then the old town.

seems like you are not doing well.

Bump though, because I will be moving there soon.

don't bring too much money I guess. It's dangerously cheap.

Must admit, I never found that much food I loved in Hanoi when I lived there but I would go for iced egg coffee here as often as I could, best place in town for it.

I can give you some tips on shit to see in North VIetnam beyond the obvious stuff you listed if you want too, there's plenty of amazing stuff which is way less touristy. Loved my time up there, north of Hanoi is definitely the most beautiful part of the country.

Whats your passport? Afghani?

Mexican, been told numerous times that they find me an interesting candidate, and that they want to hire me, but aren't capable of sponsoring visas. Heck, I even befriended a couple of recruiters over the last few months, and they've told me point blank that they mostly don't bother with Non-EU candidates.

I've even had interviews that lasted less than two minutes once I was asked about my visa situation, and mentioned I needed sponsorship.
Surprisingly, it's much easier to come to the EU as a "refugee" than it is to want to do everything legally.

>Well lads, I've recently finished university. I'm unable to find a job in the EU, despite applying to well over 900 jobs (not exaggerating) because of my shit tier passport.

Don't worry m8, I gottcha. If you're serious about becoming a EU citizen - and provided you're not lying about your job applications, you probably are - here's my serious, non-meme suggestion:

Consider losing your passport "accidentally", then apply for refugee status in Germany. If you're a negro just say you're from Eritrea for guaranteed acceptance. If you're an Arab or a Hispanic or just look vaguely brown in any way, say you're from Syria for instant citizenship. That's how everybody else does it these days.

It's an easy and fairly foolproof procedure. Speaking Arabic helps a lot to fool the authorities of course but it's not required. Broken English will do the trick usually. If they get suspicious, pretending to be from a remote small tribe in Somalia who speak an obscure variety of the local Negroonish language in the area is the way to go but that only works if you're black.

However, even if you're white as snow you got a good shot at getting refugee status here; we've given out refugee status to Chinese citizens before so I figure that even Whities have a chance; why would anyone lie about being a refugee after all?

Gotta give them the benefit of the doubt. Anything else would be racist.

Good luck m8. I'll treat you to a beer or two if you make it here.

two hours should be enough for a small run trough the city center and a beer.

Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, Karlstor and room for a beer, should be good enough for 2h, pic related.

>>1183872
Thanks a lot anon!

>>1183897
No problem, enjoy buddy.

i don't want to leave my mom's basement so i don't have this problem

It might be impossible to visit all the places I want to see, but I've already seen a good amount of places after just one year (25 years old here).

I think I'll be able to see a lot over the next 40 - 50 years.

My big worry is that the number of tourists will become so large in the future that most places won't be worth visiting.

Who feels this way about cities? Cities will always be cities. They change, but I'm pretty sure the residents of 1939 Dresden didn't give too many fucks about the place.
I'll feel that way about the Great Barrier Reef and the Everglades.

Why?

>>1183493
I know very little about Svalbard so I can't speak about it specifically, but generally all over the world young people are leaving these small isolated communities in droves because there's nothing to do in them.

It's not like in a city where there's a certain turnover of jobs so if you just keep applying you'll get something eventually... There might only be a couple of cafés in the whole place, so unless the people working there die or leave you simply can't get the job.

i heard the local airlines are pretty unsafe in Cambodia

I took the bus from PP to SR and it was fine although part of it was on a shitty unpaved road at the time (that might have changed)

How many days is really relative to your circumstances. I spent 2 weeks in PP because I enjoyed easily picking up girls and staying in a nice clear air con hotel for $10 a night. If you just want to do the main sightseeing and museums you could say 2 days is enough

SR - You can get a 1 day or 3 day pass to Angkor. I went for the 3 day pass because I didn't want to wake up at 5am and rush to see everything.

Check out Sihanoukville if you're into the beach and drinking. Some travelers literally stay there for months and work for a few $ a day at the bars on the beach

Kratie - Wild dolphins

Battambang - Tourists don't really go to this city which is why it's great. I rented a motorcycle and hit the countryside going through local villages and stopping by temples (one of which contains the "killing caves"). God damn it was an amazing day now I think about it, I wish I could quit my job and go backpacking again...

>i heard the local airlines are pretty unsafe in Cambodia

I see, can anyone else confirm? I assume the bus is easy to take from the airport?

>SR - You can get a 1 day or 3 day pass to Angkor. I went for the 3 day pass because I didn't want to wake up at 5am and rush to see everything.

Okay I see. Where can you buy the pass? As far as SR itself is concerned, how is it for hanging out, sightseeing etc? I just assume most of the day is spent at Ankor which is fine for sure.

Battambang looks intriguing, we'll look into it but we'll probably only set aside a few days for this trip. Maybe 4-5 non travel days.

>>1183314
Can confirm the airlines have a pretty bad reputation.You can get modern buses with air con and decent WiFi for about $10us These guys are probably the best http://www.giantibis.com/. The bus stations in PP are not really bus stations but more an agglomeration of bus company business on one road. Also last time I was there they were doing a lot of work to seal the rest of the road between pp and SR looked like the Chinese where doing most of it. With Ankor you buy at the entrance to the complex. You can pay a driver about $30us a day to take you there, back and also take you to out lying temple complexes, they just chill in their tuk-tuk waiting for you to do your thing then move on to the next location.

Where are you from? Is English your native language? Where are you getting money to travel?

>>1183268
why do you care? do i sound like its my native language?

>>1183275
Why shouldn't I care? Why should I answer your questions if you won't answer mine? And, no, you don't sound like a native speaker -- are you?

I'm pretty sure around 99% of this board's posters have been to thailand, including myself.
Patong beach is probably the worst choice if you go with your girlfriend unless you two are eager to attend sex shows involving depressed hookers putting stuff into their vaginas.
Phuket is probably the most spoiled place in Thailand, reeking of chinese tourist's litter - even Phi Phi is fucking ruined by mass tourism.
If i were to go with my gf, i'd stay in the northern part of the country, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Pai off the top of my head. Visit temples, talk to locals, rent a scooter and do jungle excursions - you won't regret it.

>>1183011
Trang Islands are where it is at. Ko Mook is super laid back. I would recommend that.

>>1183829
Bang Tao is a good area on Phuket for the GF, and families.

really depends on your temperament.
stay away from the middle of the US. they are called flyover for a reason. a whole bunch of shit you can see any where. lots of meth heads demanding everyone else is to fault why they and the USA sucks now.

if you want a mix just hit the big cities and the cities that crawl out from there. California past the Golden Gate is great country filled with nice people

>Live with Americans and see how they live their everyday life.
Work 9 to 5, Get shot

>How much money should I prepare?
About "3000$".

Have you done a slither of research for this? I don't think so.

$3k is not even ballpark for three weeks.

what do you want in a city? what kind of scenery do you want? what will you be able to afford?

>californian wants to move
>but only to places that are already full of californians
every. fucking. time.

>Where would you live and why?
Probably Seattle since the weather isn't unbearable like Texas and it has more things to do than Utah or Colorado.
