Where are you from?

Central Texas, round Abilene if you know it.

what do the two of you like? music, food, clubs, outdoors, cities?

>>1174159
Nothing? I've read some stuff about Urumqi that makes it seem kind of difficult and repressive.

forgot to mention : I have 1200 euro on savings. My friend has 2000.

you want to go camping in...november? You're probably going to have to find a hostel. It's not doable in Spain, nevermind every other country north of Spain. So 15€ a day is going to be very hard. In France particularly I doubt it's even enough to eat unless you can cook all the time.

Fifteen euros is what I spend in one meal in a regular restaurant in West Europe. Even if you go full YOLO and get into Freeganims, you won't be able to see/do all the things you would want.

Do you have suitable clothing for winter? It is cheaper to buy it in Europe, but you will lose a bit more of your little amount of euros.

After the refugee crysis, I don't know if hitchhiking for two brown fags is safe in Europe now a days.

Work, anime, videogames for the most part. Mostly work
When I get tired of those I go camping.

I've been to eight countries this year, including my own. I traveled from December of 2015 until February 2016. Several months later, in May, I decided to go to Costa Rica for two weeks but ended up spending most of that time in Nicaragua.

I came back, went to work, and started arguing with my bosses a lot. Probably it's not a good thing, but I've realized I'm just not good at having a boss.

Anyway, booked a ticket elsewhere in July, pushed back my trip until August. In South Asia now and will be here until mid-January, which is when my return flight is scheduled home. However, there's a chance I might stay gone until May. If I can earn some money, there are a handful of other places I want to visit.

I still need to finish university - got a year left on my BSc - but I'm no rush. Already have great work experience and was earning ~$40-50k (variable due to commission) while taking classes.

Deal with the urge to travel by traveling, even locally. I recently bought a motorbike and always try taking weekend trips an hour or two or three from my house and see where I end up. I just try to keep busy and find new ways to have fun.

>>1174051
your family must give you money.

I have never crossed the border by land into Cambodia,. so can;t speak to that. But I loved the country, well worth the effort to get there. Unless it's Laos 2.0, never been to Laos.

> it's like some people wish bad things upon themselves
You ain't kidding; for some reason I keep visiting 4chan.

Nice contribution
Everything I've read says you're more likely to be mugged in Europe than these countries.

I'm from Boston and I was in Salem just a few days ago.

There wasn't really much to do there -- you could stretch out a day trip, but I was done after maybe four hours.
I didn't go into any witch related museums or the House of the Seven Gables -- so you could do that -- but the main witch museum (it looks like an old church) is apparently shit.

Surprisingly enough, by far the most interesting area for me was the Salem Maritime National Historic Site (wharf area) and the surrounding buildings which had nothing to do with witches.
The witch/Halloween stuff is mostly touristy crap.

Boston and Cambridge are far more interesting.

>>1173694
Any recommendations for those two places?

>>1173826
not the other guy who replied but if its your first time in boston walk the freedom trail. you will see most of the things that are to be seen and its hard to get lost.

castle island in southie is off the beaten path but a favorite of mine personally.

eat at Yankee lobster.

go to a bruins game if you are into sports.

cambridge harvard square is cool to see, union if you are into food, davis is good if you are college aged.

salem is cool for a day trip right now just cuz there is a ton of Halloween stuff going on but i dont think you could get must more than a day out of it.

Dunno, but some of my favorite travel moments were had in spite of crappy weather, don't let that rule you.

Raining like fuck on Icelandic Glacier related.

No, with one exception. I have a goal to see how many countries I can fly a kite in, and carry some miniature kites to fly in airport concourses to "add a country." For that limited purpose, I think it counts.

So I have flown a kite in Germany, at the airport in Frankfurt. But I would not day I have traveled to Germany.

>>1173175
Wow that's pretty cool man

I won't lie. I'm pretty jelly of his incredible life. Sometimes when you travel you meet these incredible restless positive people who just make friends wherever they go and inspire others. I don't have that, I love to travel but I'll always be a bit of a cynical ass. I can't imagine ever being as happy go-lucky as this guy.He's an absolute legend.

Fuck... why is /tv/ so slow?

You can use shopping portals to buy everyday shit and get points for buying those things, it sounds like that's what said customer is talking about.

See the credit card thread.

What airport is hubbed where you live? Closest big one? That will play a big role in to which program is best. I a m buy a delta hub and use sky miles

>>1169346

>>1172983
i'm aware of what it does, i'm curious if it is actually worth the time and effort though, like many rewards programs are not.

>>1172984
i have like no credit yet so that won't really apply to me but i have been trying to get some so i'll check that out anyways. as for the airport, I live in Santa Maria, CA so that's technically the closest airport to me but nearby would be San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and then 3 hours away is LAX. how can i find out about any of their "hubs"?

>Why are freight ships so expensive to travel on?
Because there's not much room in them and the way they're managed they're not even supposed to accommodate visitors in the first place.

>Does anyone know about really cheap freight ships to go port to port on?
Try third world companies in third world ports.

>>1172963
They apparently always have extra cabin space. Why should it be $100 a day to get one of those extra cots?

>>1172965

Why shouldn't it?
