Non-OP bump. For interest.

>>1161470
To clarify, are you looking for tours and shit to take you out into the countryside? Reykjavik itself is not so big or complicated that I'd guess there is such a thing in the city itself.

>>1161669
OP here. I am looking for tours outside the city, mainly for the usual iceland attractions, like waterfalls and other natural beauties - also is tripadvisor trustworthy?

The Vatican museum, it's about old things and a church.

>>1161449
Exactly the opposite of what I am looking for.

>>1161451
race war

Anyways, I'm also going to rome, and OP. Isn't all the old shit the reason to go to Rome?

>>1161433
That sounds like a bad idea. Once the Khmer caught wind of a foreigner living alone in the countryside you'd become a prime target for theft.

The cities are safe due to police presence and other people. Why not just rent out a nice apartment in PP that has 24 hour security?

>>1161445
the "khmer"?
so like, the cambodians?

>>1161445
Is it really that bad ? Im a nice fella

could you recommend the best way to get a nice deal on a "real" house ? Ive seen some on khmer24 that were from the 200-250 range, mostly the long "thin" ones. That would fit my budget, but thats not what im looking for. Im looking for a single house. Dont care about looks equipment etc, wanna live long term, i will make myself cozy.

I don't think too many tourists make it to Palau or Yap, and if you are American you won't even need a visa

cook islands?

>>1161396
>Palau or Yap

Nope. Palau is well on the way to heavy development (swim with the dolphins! cavort with Chinese tourists!) and Yap isn't exactly unknown (lots of scuba divers). If you want isolated in Micronesia you're better off going to an outlying atoll in Chuuk (although the Chuukese have a nasty reputation) or the Marshalls. In either case, island hopping will be difficult without a boat and living conditions will be extremely primitive.

Here's your (You). You're not as funny as you think.

I imagine it'd go something like this: I ask for two minutes of the captain's time, and then say "Sir, I'd like to hitch a ride on your ship to [destination] in exchange for free labor. I can cook, clean, and do simple maintenance, and I'm a quick learner. I also have military training. I'll do all the menial labor that yourself and your crew is too preoccupied to do. I'll sleep in a storage room with my own gear, and I'll bring my own food. All I ask for is a briefing on emergency procedures, 8 hours a sleep a night, and a daily shower. Does that sound agreeable to you, sir?"

>>1161232
wew lad, didn't know this was a meme topic on here. I'm serious about it though. I like to travel as frugally as possible.

>>1161224
I think you could work with two different passports.

For other anons who only have one, maybe you can 'loose' your passport if it doesn't expire in time (5,5 more years to go for me) and apply for a new one.

With all the spying going on, maybe the USA will look up your details and travel history. Maybe they'll find it. If you're really paranoid you may consider flying to Canada or Mexico and entering overland so you don't give them time to prepare and do a thorough search on you. Assuming they investigate people who buy plane tickets into the US, that is.

If all else fails, just go to Iran and forget about the USA. Iran is definitely worth it!

>>1161224
I don't know, but I'm monitoring this thread with interest. European here, I really want to visit Iran, but I also don't want to get fucked in the ass by getting a travel ban to the US.

when filling out the esta you're asked whether you've visited iran. whether you did so on another passport is irrelevant. so you'd have to lie about that - a bad idea.

>Just go to a bar? People will laugh at me
Why would they laugh at you for going to a bar?
If anything, you might get a few drinks once they see your backpack

>>1161163
I carry around a huge ass bag. I leave it at the hostel anyway.

>>1161165
You need to let go of your insecurities, my friend. Go to a bar, smile, shake hands, and buy the first round. There, you've made a lasting good first impression, and people will talk to you like friends.

Your post is full of what you don't know, what you don't have, and what you don't want.

What _do_ you want? What kind of events are you seriously concerned about? Nuclear war? Earthquakes? Hurricanes? Race war? Even in the best of locations, it's hard to be totally self-sufficient and live anything like a first-world lifestyle. Eventually you will run out of gunpowder, or salt, or something. Even Neolithic peoples had trade networks.

I_want_to_survive.

I am more scared of my fellow human beings than mother earth. My standards are rather low, I am tough and fuck the first world.

I suggest killing yourself my man

As much as I love Quebec City, five days might be a bit too long. I would recommend looking at other options just in case you get bored.

Depending on the week you might be able to go skiing/snowboarding, or visit Charlevoix which is one hour away. Squeezing a two-day trip to Montral would also be possible, but that would be rushed.

>>1160873
I see. Skiing and snowboarding is a little out of my budget unfortunately. How long would you recommend for the city? Any must see places that aren't commonly listed?

I've been to Quebec City many times and other than the small downtown area and the pricey places to eat there isn't much to do. It's pretty isolated. Montreal might be a more fun alternative. Not to mention English is far more common there if that is an issue for you.

uhm for a starter it would be nice to know where you are from

>>1160785

Details of why you want to move there you stupid incomplete aspie.

Also where are you from.

Not sure there is a huge market for TEFL in Hawaii.

Also not sure if serious....

>>1160763
you would need to apply for a visa which can be done via the website, however you need the address..... there would be an aussie embassy in Japan so just go there and get one/ ask about details.

>>1160763
>Say I spend a year in Japan

LOL. You won't and can't.

>>1162124
LOL yourself. That's actually what I've planned. Everything is set for it.

>>1160757
with england? plenty
with londonistan? my condolences anon

>>1160757
London is fine, ignore /pol/itical crap. And if you get a craving for Ireland, it is not far away at all.

>>1160757
>Pretty sad about an exchange in one of the cities that has a legit claim to being a world capital
Gee anon.

P-please respond..

Don't. There's really nothing to see here, people just come here to shop. If you're interested in places like beaches or mountains, one day is not enough, since they're pretty far from Kuala Lumpur, I assume you're going there.

Also, how are you gonna go to malaysia from singapore anon?
>Plane
airport and waiting. faster than cars though
>Car
the nearest state to singapore is Johor and it is 4 hours from Kuala Lumpur, also expect traffic jams to and from singapore/malaysia.

>>1160926
I wasn't planning on going to Kuala Lampur. I have no plan. I have 4 days in Singapore and just assume I will be bored after two days. So I figured I'd try Malaysia for a day. Am I wrong?

I did some research and read up on Malacca. Somewhat close to Singapore. Is it worth it?

Don't know what to tell you anon, just have fun! Victoria is a very laid back place so I can't see you not getting along with anyone (unless you're autist). Are you staying with a host family or on your own?

>>1161074
Im staying with a host family. To be honest I'm kind of scared that my english will be too shitty. Anyways thanks, are you from Victoria?

>>1161144
Victoria local here. Don't worry anon, I can tell that your English is much better than many international students that I know. Lots of (mostly Chinese) students make do with very poor English, but yours seems fine.

Victoria is a rather small, boring place. My main piece of advice would be to take the time to visit places outside Victoria. Tofino, Vancouver, etc.

>>1160667
airbnb in someplace in montreal thats within 5 minutes walking from a metro stop. orange line is best.

>>1160667
Gonna be going to Montreal next week myself. What kind of stuff are you interested in? Can't really speak to where to stay, my brother lives in Mtl and I bunk at his place when I visit.

For museums the Pointe-de-Callieres is pretty neat, bunch of exhibits on the archaeological history of Montreal and down in the basement they have a bunch of the foundations of the original settlement. There's also the Beaux-Arts, the Canadian Architecture Center, the contemporary art gallery... don't bother with the biodome or the environment museum, the buildings they're in are neat but I wouldn't spend money going inside. Lot of oddball experimental architecture from the boom time of the 60s and 70s dotted all around the city while the area along the waterfront is a lot more European feeling.

Mile-End is the epicenter of Montreal's local music scene, there's a shitload of small venues dotted around there if you want to catch a show. Fuckloads of restaurants and bars and quirky shopping along St. Catherine and St. Laurent streets. Either St. Viateur or Fairmount for bagels (you're never going to get a consensus on which one is better), Schwartz's for smoked meat, La Banquise for poutine. I've heard a lot of really great things about Le Robin Square but I've never had the chance to try it out myself, might try getting a seat next visit.

>>1160712
whats a good location for a hotel? Or should I try a hostel?
