well that picture is definitely one of them. Go to mount washington and get that killer view. If you've got the money, eat a one of the restauants that are on grandview ave.

I've been going to school here for three years and I really can't come up with a ton of stuff, sorry. Poor college students don't get out much lol.

Phipps conservatory is nice from what I've heard. Market Square is a nice place to check out as well- a good variety of food down there. You've got to try Primanti bro's, or at least go anywhere where you can get your fries and cole slaw in your burger.

E. Carson in south side is where a ton of the bars are, and it's pretty lively on the weekends. The Strip also has a ton of restaurants although its in a odd part of town- like an old train yard or something. The Cultural district is fun but small. Maybe you can catch a play or a musical there at the theatre.

>>1172206
There's the Warhol Museum which is a must-do but even better is The Mattress Factory, Pitt's modern art museum in which most of the exhibits are interactive. It's all really cool unless you're one of those fags that gets triggered by modern art because you have to interpret it yourself.

inb4 news about some farang getting his ass whooped by a mad crowd because he did something 'disrespectful to the memory of the king'.

>>1171777

Currently living in Chiang Mai.

I'm due for a visa extension within a week but I'm guessing at the very least we're looking at a day of mourning.

This is a sad time. If you're a Farrang you really should be on best behaviour out of respect.

I'll report in on things tomorrow.

The king is dead. Long live the king.

>>1171777
No idea, I was there during the most recent "military coup" and alot of people were saying the king was the only thing holding everyone together stopping them from going full blown october revolution.

>>1180572
You're overdosing. When it happened to me, I just stopped visiting and doing travely shit and kicked back at the hostel, and going to cinema.

Believe me or not, cinema helped a lot with those big noisy American movies because you're completely cut off of your local environment. It worked wonder with me.

I'm not even American, yet western movies were enough to cheer me up already.

>>1180574

I think it could be a combination of that and me being sick.

I don't know. I've never had a "travel overdose" before, and I've been in worse situations than the one I'm in now. All the plans and enthusiasm I had last week have vanished down the drain. Instead of considering where I might go once I'm better, I'm researching campsites in my home state and imagining motorcycling Alaska, stopping at roadside bars, and eating hamburgers.

Right now I'm in a developing country and am just sick of all the noise and pollution and spitting and smoking and dust. Where I live in the USA isn't too exciting and I'd probably be bored off my rocker there, but at least I could go into the woods and have a bit of privacy, work and earn real money, and not have to think twice before eating food from an ordinary restaurant.

Dunno, m8. Sorry again to rant. People are probably gonna make fun of me but it's okay. I've never felt this way and being stuck in bed is just amplifying it.

It happens. We all go through it in one form or another. Doesn't even have to be travel related. I call it a rut. You're in a rut right now. It will go in due time. Wish I had better advice, but I don't.

If the stories on /trv/ are true, you will not need hookers. If you are white, women will literally throw themselves at you. Go to a high class bar/lounge and take your pick.

>If the stories on /trv/ are true
What are the chances?

>>1180402
>high class bar/lounge
> women will literally throw themselves at you
>are not hookers
yeah, right
then they "hint" that they want a "gift".

>If the stories on /trv/ are true
also recently some poster on /trv/ was saying how women in Kenya "like gifts".

It's not difficult to see what's going on here

>go out on your own anyway

I get you, though. I haven't travelled with other people yet, but I can perfectly understand the ramifications of it. Seriously though, if you have local sim cards or any way of communicating, just find each other later or arrange a meeting at X spot at Y time.

>>1180382
I like both. be thankful your buddies are adventurous enough to leave and go do something.

all my friends either waste 100% of their money on alcohol, or are too scared to leave

going solo is probably the most liberating feeling on earth, but I still want to experience some things with other people

that said, I met an ex of mine traveling because her travel partner was smothering the fuck out of her and she needed to break away, so I kinda get it

I agree, I need my time alone and to do my own thing.

My personal favorite is to travel alone, then get a local fling to hang out with and show me around. Works like a charm in every 3rd world country.

>>1180343
They're all safe enough, unless you're a total idiot. Only Venezuela is dangerous right now.

>>1180343
Conesur region (Chile, Argentina and Uruguay), but I've heard Buenos Aires are not that safe anymore.

>>1180355
Really? That's interesting, I didn't know that about Buenos Aires. I was looking into Peru but it's really cliche, Patagonia is really expensive, Easter Island/Santiago trip might be fun, not really interested in the gelapagos islands since tourism is destroying the environment there. I really want to go to Brazil but am nervous because of stories I've heard.

Brasov has beautiful mountains around as far as I remember, maybe some ski slopes, too

Clubbing is quite good in Romania, though as a foreigner you have to be extra careful who you party with

I don't remember where I really went around Brasov, but it was nice, Sibiu was nice, too.... The mountains are even better a little bit to the South or East I heard

>>1180150
Go to Sibiu. Sinaia and Sighișoara are also nice day trips.

The rail system is definitely worth trying out in case you haven't considered it. It isn't super easy to figure things out, but getting around shouldn't be a serious issue if you're not an idiot.
Food in Sibiu and Brasov was amazing. Sighisoara is small, but very charming. I stayed for a night when I was there and definitely enjoyed my stay.
Are you planning on staying in hostels?

burning man isn't a rave you fucking idiot.
im really tired of people thinking that it is another corporate funded cattle herded big stage watch kanye and skrillex and blast loud noises kind of shit show.

burning man is what festivals should be (though it has changed quite a bit in recent years)

>>1180024
>burning man isn't a rave you fucking idiot.
Clam down. It is a festival that got away from the origin in a fast way. It's over. Now it's just destructive to the environment and stupid.

OP, there are festivals all over the world that are highly attended of all types, from funky Bonaroo to hipster and hippes at Sasquatch and Ultra Miami (where you should go early and do events at Winter Music Conference first) to the Electric Love Festival to the must-see Jazz and Heritage Fest in New Orleans to Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavik. Want a really bizarre amazingly large one? Try Wave Gotik Treffen one year in Leipzig Germany. The festival literally takes over a city with costumed people, and really amazing musicians. The people watching is crazy from steampunk to metal. It happens 7 weeks after Easter each year, and runs 24/7 for a solid 5 days in a dozen venues, and there's a "americans in leipzig" forum for you to adequately plan your time with others there for next year. There has been as many as 200-300 bands in previous years, most announed in the last week before the concert, though you can watch for the ones you like upfront. I don't think there's much like it, so once in a lifetime experience where the entire city is freaks.
Last year:

And then of course, look at THESE bands in New Orleans last year. People play at it who don't ever tour elsewhere.

Nice post, I definitely want to bucket list these although I am getting way too old, I never partied enough in my youth. Maybe if I color my hair nobody will get too pissed. lol

shouldnt be a problem

>>1179358
Every single airline does that on every ticket since ever...
LASTNAME/FIRSTNAMEMR or LASTNAME/FIRSTNAMEMS
I could probably pull out a Air New Zealand ticket from 1995 and it has the same wording.

Yeah, seems rather normal. Relax my friend.

>>1179216
It'll be cold as balls, but winter is a nice time to visit. Just bring enough clothes!

Make sure to see some nature while youre there - if you're short on time you can even just take the subway to the last stop and walk right into the forest

>>1179216

If you're experienced with the cold, go for it

Otherwise you may find it to be an obstacle that keeps you inside and you'll just get to know your hotel room very well

Dress for the occasion, ski masks and gloves, if need be

Try to pre-arrange activities so you have to get out

>>1179305
>>1179526
It's not that cold there, or do you come from Africa or something? .
>The average winter temperature in Oslo is only about minus 4 degrees Celsius (around 23 °Fahrenheit), which is a bit warmer than the winter temperatures of most American and European cities. Visitors however should be prepared for frost from late October until late March/early April. Only occasionally there is deep frost below minus 15 °C (4 °F).

>Niggers dont know how to fucking drive
>The town is filled with smog
>Nice beaches pretty much everywhere
Just stay on the coast

>>1178663
everywhere in that island must be like 1km from the coast.

Why San Andres of all places? It's the beach place for rich Colombians. Try the other island that you can get to from there with a short flight - can't remember the name - it's much better. Less family tourism more adventure.

>>1176667
Check out Amtrak trains. The bus is going to suck real bad...

>>1176667
Don't be a square
Just hitchhike

>>1176667
There are usually shuttle buses to the best-known National Parks along your way (Yellowstone, specifically) from the bigger towns along the track. But that's still not an ideal way of seeing them.

Canadabro planning a trip to NYC, hoping to snag a hotel room in a central location for under $250/night

Mostly interested in nightlife/partying, so was considering Williamsburg or Brooklyn, is it legit a good nightlife or is it hipster trash?

Given that I'm planning on spending my time out barhopping, where's a good place to stay?

Driving down from Niagara Falls Friday midday, checking im friday night, probably drinking Saturday, lunch & drive home Sunday. How much cash would I need to have fun? Would $1500 USD cover gas, the hotel, some meals, and a good night out?

>>1163838
Oh forgot to add will be travelling with wifey

Bamp not more than once a day

bumps 4 jesus

anyone

Scandinavia is outrageously expensive.

>>1179669
Forgot to mention that I'm not a U.S citizen or resident.

just leave, they can't afford to call the police and alert all the other patrons to their scam.

>>1179669

Leave immediately. Threaten to ring the police: they are clearly in the wrong here, not you.

If this was earlier, alert the authorities anyway. I'm not sure what the American version of Trading Standards is but they would be all over that shit.
