$500/month is a good life

>>1170076
Bulgaria fits the bill. Like the other anon says, $500 is a decent budget there. $1500 will get you a great life. Of course, that's liable to change as more and more long-distance workers and outsourced companies seem to discover that particular part of the world.

anyfuckingwhere in Europe outside of the big Western-euro capitals

Thailand is very good and very good for your first time. If you're worried about tourists go to an area with less tourists.

>>1170034
which areas are less frequented generally? I'm assuming Bangkok is very popular and maybe Pattaya as well?

>>1170033
>I would have to do a layover somewhere and then another one if I want to get to Palawan.
FYI domestic flights in Philippines are like 50 usd max. Where else did you want to go there besides Palawan?

I'd also like to know which has the best landscapes. That's important.

I'd obviously have to learn a new language so that'll be a hassle.

and just for some clarification, I'm a white looking fellow so I can fit right in, in terms of appearance.

I forgot to state that this is for a permanent relocation. Not a vacation.

These days vans are seen more as pedomobiles than something that a cool young man drives. However I'm sure you could still travel around in a van/motorhome if you wanted, in fact there is a guy who occasionally makes threads here about how he does that.

There are loads of folks tricking out vans, campers, trailers and school busses. These hipster fucks are traveling the country in this converted bus that looks like a west elm catalog, just in case you didn't have enough shit to envy for your house you can now live the minimal chic life on the road as well.

Have you been to Australia? These vans are fucking everywhere, main brand is Wicked vans which paint nudes, swear words and sexist things on the van. Literally never been in higher demand

>I got a new passport that is stamp free

You're good to go.. Presumably you will not bring up to them that you have been to Israel...

>>1171570
Is there any way to get from Israel to Egypt without:
A) flying
B) going through the death trap that is the Sinai Peninsula

Why no ferries to Poin Said?
There should be a site where I can hir private boats/sailors....

>>1171760
I probably don't like Israel any more than you do but they have some cool shit and they're in a practical location.

Just tell me and don't be a sanctimonious redditor about it. If it makes you feel better, I will be dropping most of my shekels in Palestine anyway.

By the way looks like the ferry from Greece to Egypt was cancelled too, not that it matters since I've already been to Greece.

The medivial cathedrals in Germany and Francy are always rather impressive, especially those where you can climp up their towers like the famous Sacre Coeur in Paris.
Speaking of Paris: The Catacombs.

>>1171567
I actually had the chance to climb it a few years ago on a school trip. We were dropped off at it and given an hour to do what we want and I assumed we'd come back and climb it as a group. Never happened. Still mad with myself

Definitely wanna see the catacombs tho

Shameless bump

Where in France are you?

>>1171399
Chartres for now, heading to Paris tomorrow

>>1171382
So she got cold feet or a last minute change of heart, big deal. If you're struggling to meet people book a bed at a decent hostel. There is at least a few days worth of sightseeing just in paris, if you find yourself running out of places after a few days you could always take a short trip to somewhere outside the city.

Both are shit but I would choose Houston over Jacksonville any day of the week.

>>1170458
Houston: 39% white
Jacksonville: 55% white

Both these figures are from a few years ago.

The remainder of Jacksonville is mostly black and asian, remainder of Houston is mostly mestizo.

I live in Houston. I have only spent a little time in Jacksonville. The climate is going to be very similar, in fact the cities are going to be about the same. I like Texas because of the gun laws and attitude of the people here. I have not researched it recently, but property in Texas was much more affordable compared to Florida.

You'll be just fine in Montreal without any French skills. People there are pretty social so it's fairly easy to meet people just walking around/in bars. The food is great, and there are plenty of cool neighborhoods to visit.

Don't need to speak French
Night scene is great especially near the schools
And Best strip clubs in the country

>>1170514
how do i meet people by just walking around?

i have no social skills and don't meet people usually. i usually stay indoors and post on 4chan

>>1170517
i usually don't go out at night, because no friends. same with strip clubs
can i go alone to a bar or will people think i'm a loner/creep?

>>1170140
You can't sneak it.

Protips:
Be in the frequent cruiser club and enjoy 1-2 predrinking drinks per night at the captains cocktail party/other event for members only.
Get utterly wasted in the ports.
Enjoy one bottle of duty free your last night on the ship.

I suggest figuring out how to drink less, really. If that's the whole center of your vacation, you probably should suck up the cost, or not cruise.

I don't get it. Why not just put a bunch of alcohol in your luggage?

>>1170143
Grazii

Haha its Holy Sh!p so it is going to be a shitshow drinking-wise from what I understand.

How does the duty free bottle work?

I vaguely remember the last cruise being able to buy at a lower cost but not being able to get it until you get off the ship

I'm 18 and going on my first holiday alone this year, thinking of going to Japan. 22nd of December-2nd of January. Since I'm spending so long, I don't want to just stay in Tokyo. Where else in Japan would you guys recommend? I'm interested in everything from the culture, nature and parties. Should I book hostels in advance? Any other tips on visiting would be great too

>>1170004
>I'm 18 and going on my first holiday alone this year

Japan might be a big step for going alone especially when you are 18 man. If you really are going make sure your phone has enough mobile data as google maps will tell you how to get to places and which trains to take.

>22nd of December-2nd of January. Since I'm spending so long, I don't want to just stay in Tokyo

Visit Kyoto and book a hotel there, from kyoto you can reach Osaka and Nara by train. In general you might want to book most things in advance really.

>Any other tips on visiting would be great too
Calculate if a JR pass would be helpful for you, taking the shinkansen twice will already make it worth it.

>>1170005
>Visit Kyoto and book a hotel there

Are you sure I should book 1 hotel there if I'm travelling out of the city a lot?

Any restaurant at a big plaza or square which has a flags thing going on. Worse if the menu is translated in more than 2 languages and has flag pictograms on it, covered in some shitty cellofane wrapping which looks like it has last been replaced a decade ago. Chicken & fries as the first thing on the menu obviously, desaturated picture of the actual dish is mandatory.

>>1170012
Any time I'm starving and not looking for the real traveler experience I eat at those places lel

>>1169943
That is pretty disgusting.

Where was that picture taken?

My wife and I did 8 countries for 10k for the both of us. Not just 3rd world shitholes, either.

>>1169744
Depends what you mean by "the world"

>>1169771
Canada, South America, Spain and Italy, Amsterdam, Jordan, Egypt, Jew, South east asia, Australia
