Moscow is by far the most expensive city in Russia
You get the least amount of foreigner credit

If the money doesn't matter and it's only 8 weeks it doesn't really matter

If you really just want to learn 'russian' than Ukraine or Georgia are a lot easier to deal with for visas and people like westerners more

>georgia to learn russian

"no"

go to kyrgyzstan or kazakhstan op. ukraine is okay but go to the south or east.

>>1176445
yes op, go. don't listen to the other posters, why would you go outside of russia to learn russian? go to moscow by all means, you will find it of most interest

The idea is to visit abandonned building... there's nothing to see in a brand new building under construction

>>1176217
>under construction
Probably have security in place to keep homeless/junkies out.

>>1176218
Under construction can be interesting because unless you work as a construction worker Builder you get to see parts of the building that you would never see or experience otherwise and for cubicle drones this can be really enlightening and exciting experience.

>>1175863
Go do it.

Yes. Totally worth it. After about 2 years abroad though being here is just like everyday-life, nothing is really new and exciting if you've seen everything there is to see. I'd suggest living in a place for a year or so and then move on to a another country. You can still get your degree if you send the new school your transcripts!

I feel like for such a big decision there it can't be that simple; is there some sort of catch?

Cold if there's snow, hot if there isn't.

Cold - moderate all the way

To visit cold of course.

Subscribe to Scott's flight. $2/ month you'll get back in savings

Only reliable tricks are to book for midweek travel using a university IP address, a Windows computer and a non-modern web browser. Companies scrape those variables during pricing. Regardless of travel window, you can probably get even lower fares if you run/book at some weird time of day. If not, place contraband in your ass and fly Spirit and hope you are in the 1% of cases where Spirit was worth it.

I'm going to Nepal next month and I loved this guy's most recent series on the place.

I really like the casual way Gabe does his videos, he doesn't push himself as the product of his channels. I like the "hey guys I'm here at this cool place check it out, let me tell you some cool stuff but I won't get in the way" vibe he gives off vs the "follow ME on MY magical journey" narcissistic bullshit every other channel and video seems to be. Like bitch I don't give a fuck about you I just wanna see this place.

I love the "How expensive is..." videos.
He just goes through his day telling how much he paid for each and every purchase.
As a cheap traveler this is perfect for me.

Simply be aware, dont have blackout sex on the beach, don't pass out in the train station. Most pick-pocketing stories in Spain I've heard are someone saying "I fell asleep in a park in Spain (passed out) and then the money was stolen from my wallet and my watch but they left ten euros and my passport"

I'm visting Barcelona at 9th of November and ill stay for a few days, what would be a cool way to meet people and places to visit? P.S. Are there any beach bars open at this period of the year?

>>1173426

> Is pickpocketing really such a huge deal there ?
yes, in tourist dense parts of town and on the subway. when in bars/restaurants don't leave your phone sitting on the table in front of you, if you do it's pretty much gone… as per usualdon't be a complete retard and you'll be fine.

> Also anything specific from food that i should try there ?
Carrer de Blai has pretty good pinchos

>>1173165
Hopefully in a year or two. Gonna save up 10k and buy a cheap econobox. Drive away from the east coast.

Or maybe the texas coast?
Free beach camping year round there.
Fish tacos every night.

Living/travelling in my tiny truck

Heading to Nashville from SF. From there...not sure yet

>>1173023
You're literally have to go out of your way to find anywhere less than completly safe in Stockholm, and that would only be during might tine. Unless you are commie block watcher then you have nothing to worry about.

>>1173023
Don't trust anyone, sweden is a deadly hellhole, unless you know how to act and where to go you'll get raped and murdered in 5 minutes. Just cancel your trip and stay where you are

I felt the exact same way while I was there during two 21 hour layovers back and forth from the USA.

I thought it would be cool to be there, so I specifically chose long layovers.
When I arrived I walked around for something like 10 hours straight and saw all the important stuff. It sucked -- everything is overpriced, the city is dirty, and it's full of oddballs.

Coming back I ended up staying in Schiphol Airport and shitposting on /int/ because I didn't want to put any extra money into the Dutch economy.

At least the airport has free and reliable wifi.

never been there, can you guys articulate why it's so bad?

Bye, you won't be missed

Bumping for interest in Budapest

>>1170370
benn in 2/3 cities. 5 days is a lot for each one. you might consider going somewhere else and cutting 1-2 days for each city. maybe Cesky Krumlov

>>1170405
>>1170405
It looks pretty nice. I've also considered Bratislava as well, have you ever been there?

Please don't travel. You're an embarassement to humans.

>>1176334
I don't know if this is shitposting but I would not be scared of going to Qatar. It's first world desu you won't get shit for being a woman. If you stay in the city you will see there are a lot of tourists and even a lot of English signs.

>>1176347
>Please don't travel. You're an embarassement to humans.

A contrary opinion -- assuming not a troll, I'd say a good dose of travel experience is exactly what OP needs.

It reall doesn;t matter if your bag gets searched beasue it's not illegal. If you were traveling to the Gulf or something it may be an issue.

Will this be checked baggage or carry on? Since it's electronic it's likely to be picked up on the Xray and they may ask to see what it is. There should be more discretion than to wave it around in front of everybody, though. If in checked luggage nothing to worry about at all.

Cracow is the correct answer.

>>1175897
Warsaw is not that nice. There is nothing older than the year 1945. Everything is fake and a reproduction.

Bucharest is dirty, full of gypsies, and not very good for normies to sightsee.

If you want Poland, go to Krakow. If you want Romania, go to Brasov.

>>1176016
Why Brasov anyways? I know the thing about the "Dracula's castle" but nothing else.

>>1175751
>I am really interested in South America, especially Colombia, but that seems to be very expensive.

Do you mean because of flights to get there or something? In my experience, South America is not particularly expensive -- but I have never flown there from Sweden.

>>1175762
The flights and the stay. I can't seem to find a cheap way to stay there.

A buddy of mine went to Thailand for 7 months. He rented a appartement for 100 Euros a month, more or less that is. Food is very cheap ( expect 1 or 2 euros for a whole meal ), Taxi's are securely monitored against fraud as well so travelling is relatively safe. The drugs scene is almost non-existant due to very strict laws.

Also expect pussey if you're white.
