Hi, I'm goin' to Prague with my gf. Which are the best places to see there & best Beer?
Old town, Castle and Charles bridge are the must-visit trinity.
There's tons more to do in and around Prague. Depends on your interest and time.
>>1157790
Not OP but I'll be there the first days of October. I'm into whatever there's to do, clubbing, seeing alchemy labs, museum, wondering around, etc
>>1157604
Showpark -- Google it
Sup Anon? I'm a long term amateur photographer working on going pro and building a stronger portfolio. For this, I'm thinking of doing some world travel next year for 6-9 months. I'm thinking maybe Europe (Germany, France, Spain), Sweden, Norway, & Vietnam.
I'm from the USA and have never done any /int/ travel besides short Canada trips. That being said, I've done a lot of "on the road" type traveling throughout the USA. I'm familiar with the whole Food Not Bombs, squats, hitching, sleath camping, delicious trash food, busking, etc. culture.
How easy would it be to float around those parts of Europe, Scandinavia, and Asia with little money? I would have some type of device I could connect to WiFi, a hiking pack, sleeping bag, tent, etc. and about $5,000 USD. I'd be fine doing short term work.

Scandinavia is ridiculously expensive. Definitely not a budget destination.
No. You need more money for that
In Sweden we have a law that translates to Everyone's right, or something like that, basically it entails that you can camp for a night anywhere you want as long as you don't disturb the property owner, meaning don't sleep on their lawn but if they have a field that's okay, you don't have to pay for camping sites like in the US unless you're camping with a RV, but who does that. I'd probably recommend getting provisions beforehand and going to northern Sweden, you can get a train ticket for a reasonable price, though I'd probably go to Finland or Norway for photography, they're more wild, but at the same time Norways expensive as fucking hell.
But if there a will there's a way, I made a month in Northwest USA and Alberta/bc on boondocking camping provisions and a $16 unlimited mileage car, relatively inexpensive (especially since I drove 6000 miles on a car I had 3 weeks so just 300 something bucks for the car, and gas, but a 40mpg car does fine
Are Disneyland threads allowed here? Looked in the catalog and archive, didn't see any for people who just like Disneyland.

My Goofy Tolerance is pretty low, so I don't get into Disney parks -- but I've seen threads about them here before. So good luck with it.
Their railroad is very legit for a theme park railroad. They have five steam engines running and three of them are historic (one of them was built in 1894). It's a big reason why so many other American theme parks have full-size steam railroads: to emulate Disneyland.

Im gonna be in LA for 3 days next week. how much would a day there cost me?
Hi /trv/
I'm in Porto.
What do?
>>1157118
Watch TV in the hotel room
Drink beers in the hotel bar
Surf 4chan in your bed
Go back home because you obviously didn't preplan your trip before leaving you mong
>>1157122
I rent an apartment tho so all of your suggestions are already invalid.
There's plenty planned stuff. I'm here to accompany / assist / pay for my sister and mom, i was just wondering if /trv/ had some natives to suggest something special we would probably miss.
Ok I suppose /trv/ doesnt move that fast we're leaving now. I'll check back after we return tonight.
Have a good one, /trv/ !
Hello /trv/, I want to climb mount Fuji this weekend.
I'm thinking to go at night and try to reach the top to see the sunrise. Here are my questions/concerns:
1. Is it dangerous for someone who has never climbed a mountain/experienced altitude sickness to climb alone? And to do it without staying in a cabin?
2. I want to pick up a walking stick and an air canister, would the stores at the 5th station be open at night?
3. The weather forecast it will be cloudy with thunderstorms this weekend. Is it too dangerous to climb?
bruh, this is a travel board, not a climbing board. all this information can easily be found online
1. no, but it might be tough, you just need to keep on going and take plenty of stops. When you time your trip smart enough and you can just keep on walking you will not need a cabin.
2. stores are always open but the stick way to expensive and you need to pay for every stamp at every station and the air canister is also over-expensive and just stupid.
3. I climbed with rain, it sucks and your body will cool down drasticly when you are not moving, bring rain clothing. Also the clouds will block the sunrise. And if it's to dangerous to climb you will probably be told by someone beforehand.
Climbed during the night with freezing wind, showers and without any equipment. Was my first hike. Froze like a little bitch. Also, don't climb in running shoes with thin soles and kinda open cushion. Still made it...
Fucking sun was in clouds.
Whelp. Went down, lots of alcohol, was alright the next day. Riding the Shinkansen while wearing dirty, soaked clothes was kinda hazukashii.
I'm going on a Disney trip with my mom for one-on-one time after New Year's, but which Disney can we go to. I have some pros, and they're all so good.
California
>Better weather
>I have family and friends there
>MSEP coming back
Florida
>More to see and do
>Haven't been to Epcot in a long time
And they all have lots of new things. Where can I go?
If you're going not too far after New Year it should be fairly quiet at WDW, while I can imagine Disneyland being quite busy with the larger city nearby.
How long do you intend to go? Because you need a fair bit of time at WDW to even come close to covering the whole thing, but a few days will be plenty for Disneyland.
Which one are you closest to? THat should be your #! consideration. Yes WDW is much larger, but unless you are a hardcore theme park fan that won't matter. I've use this comparison in the past, but I'll state it again:
Imagine Disney parks like your favorite band. WDW is like the entire discography for that band: Disneyland Resort is like their Greatest Hits. Both have their pros and cons, so it ultimately depends on which one that you are closest to.

I did not factor in the distance for OP, as for me they're both across the Atlantic, so for the most part the distance difference is irrelevant for those 2.

Has anyone here ever been to Albania? If so, what was your experience like? What are some things to see? I'm thinking of going there this upcoming spring because why the fuck not.
>>1156800
>visiting Albania
>ever
Just go to Greece or Croatia, hell, even Bosnia.
Albania is a culture-less nationalistic shithole. The most you can see are their bunkers left off from Enver Hoxha and their shitty statue of Skenderbeg. There's a reason why their diaspora is so huge, nobody wants to live in Albania.
>>1157151
Don't listen to this guy, Albania is great. There are some beautiful places like Berat and Gjirokaster, the nature in the north is amazing (great mountains, and the Koman Lake is incredible), the food is great, people are the friendliest in Europe, hitchhiking is easy and everything is cheap. And you can meet some interesting travellers there.
>>1157330
naw, fuck albania. the balkans are real hit or miss. and albania is a miss unless you like recreational suicide bombing.
I'm going to Berlin, Austria and London for a trip at the end of the year but I heard with the mass Muslim immigration things have gotten quite dangerous. Is Berlin safe to walk around late at night or are there actually street gangs out to get ya?
>>1156792
Are you currently residing under a stone?
Yes, you idiot, it's fine but like any city there are parts to avoid.
>>1156792
Are you currently open minded and being on the safe side?
No, you wiseman, it's not as safe as imbiciles pretend it to be especially in the hippie neighborhoods.
>>1156792
You only have to read the crime reports in the local paper. I wouldn't do the late night thing there anymore, myself, if I was using public transport. Some of the crimes against tourists happened by immigrant drivers.
Hi anons, where can I read something about sailing? I'm planning to go on a trip to Australia overland in a few years (from Europe, hitchhiking). I'm going to be travelling for 4-6 months sleeping in the wilds of Eastern Europe, Siberia, Mongolia/Kazakhstan, China and SEA. The problem occurs when you want to get from SEA to Australia without taking any airplane flight - there are no scheduled ferries.
Nevertheless I know that there are sailors, who cross from SEA to Australia and I would like one to pick me up in exchange for work. What are some guides, articles about sailing? I want to know when the season is and in which port I should search for possible companions when I get to SEA.
pic rel (thats not me nor anyone I know on the pic rel xD)
>>1156575
There are a couple of sailing/boating magazines -- google could find which are still active and if they have websites. But to be any good on a bat, you're going to have to get some time on a boat. That means finding the YMCA or whatever your equivalent is, and taking some lessons, or finding a fiend who sails and going out with him.
If I had a boat in that corner of the world (I'm in the SE USA) and did NOT want to get pirated, I'd be cautious as fuck about taking some random guy on board. Having a resume might help with that, or making some contacts in advance -- google up some yacht clubs in Oz/Singapore/Malaysia, see if you can make a friend at a distance, or at least get somebody to answer some of your questions about how/where to get on a boat down there.
It is also possible to book passage on a cargo ship, though it is usually not cheap, if avoiding airplanes is a priority you could try that.
>>1156575
Fuck I hate it when underagers make these ridiculous threads
You're not going to hitchhike to SEA
Stop talking shit
>xD
Dear lord.
Going to walk the Way of St. James (Costa portuguese) on Thursday.
Anyone who did it before?

/Travel/ has become a place only for weeabos visting tentacle Land or blue balled guys asking for advice where to find hookers in Thailand.
You guys suck at real travelling.
t. OP
>>1156824
indeed it has. I think the refugee violence and political crisis has lessened interest in traveling to europe though, so take it easy on them. not all of them hire hookers, and even a most ofthem who do are still helpful
well, I spent a lot of time in southern france, and speak french, and the trail interested me, but most of the trail was in spain so for a few reasons I decided not to do it, but decided to do it in the future
general warnings include: wear broken in shoes, you will get blisters, sunblock alone isn't enough, wear a broad hat and cover up, make sure you pack lightly, half of the people end up ditching half their sack. you need consecutive stamps from the waypoints to make it into an auberge, so don't take shortcuts. I hear a lot more of the trail than people expect is alongside roads for cars, which disappoints some people, but no one has ever said it wasn't worth it for that reason. almost nothing I've read regretted doing it. it sound great, actually. there are hiking trails in southern france as well, but people have a habit of getting killed by immigrants in southern france, and a travel warning has been placed. so I think you've made a good choice
>>1156553
No, I was planning on starting in three weeks but now I'll be doing the via Francesco Florence to Rome instead.
It'd be cool if you post a summary when you're done?
>>1156943
Having done a couple long walks, this general advice is good. Doubly so with wearing broken in good shoes, and carry tape so the moment you feel a little heat from friction tape over it.
That 'make sure you pack lightly' is solid but vague. You shouldn't be carrying more than 10kg. My kit is 4kg, +2L water, +1kg bag, +day snacks. The place people most often over do it is with clothes. You really only need 2 changes of clothes total. 2 shirts. 1 trouser. 1 shorts. 2 undies. 2 socks. 1 jumper. 1 raincoat. When the weather is good you handwash at the days end then hang it on your bag the following day to dry in the sun.
And hiking poles, they help uphill and down hill. Portugal is pretty flat but one rolled ankle and you'll regret not having poles.
Best way to find work abroad? Prefereably in the EU so I don't have to bother with visas/permits.
I want to find work in an EU country as an American. What do I do?
>>1156531
if you have an Irish grandparent you can get a passport here. Then you're an EU citizen and all of europe (atm) is your oyster.
>>1156531
qualifications?
How expensive is a one-room apartment in Boston? I looked it up, but 600 dollars seems way too cheap.
>>1156464
You might be able to pay $600 if you're living in the ghetto. Stay the fuck out of Roxbury, Mattapan, and most of Dorchester. You might be okay in Hyde Park.
If you want to live around here but don't want to spend a lot, you should consider living outside the city and commuting in. Maybe look into somewhere in Quincy that has access to the MBTA's red line (train line).
>>1156517
Could 900-1000 dollars get a decent place?
>>1156556
You should look for a place in Allston.or brighton with that amount of money.
Some people would say it is trashy but it's a good area overall.
Going to a music festival over new years and wanted to know which tent you all recommend for 4-6 ppl.
Its during Australian summer so 30-35*C (85-95*F for you USFags).
If there are some that are for fewer occupants then its not an issue we can buy a couple just want to know the best quality ones recommended and thought travellers would know which ones are best
How wild of a festival is it?
Do you go camping a lot outside of festivals (guessing not as you don't seem to have a tent anyway)
If I were you I'd either get some dirt cheap ones (you'll hate it with a passion in 35 degree weather) and throw it away/leave it there
If you personally might go camping again, get a pop up one but make sure you're able to put it away easily before you leave because there's always a bit of a knack to them.
>>1156428
>6 people sharing 1 tent during a festival in 30+°
Yeah nah mate. Either get 6 small dome tents for like $30 each or deal with the worst stink imaginable. Do you have idea what 6 drunk sweaty dirty drugged up guys covered in spilt beer are going to smell like after 3 days in high heat with no showers?
Reconsider bro
Hi /trv/
Honestly my first time here but I figured that this would be a good place to ask.
After some recent drama innmy own life I've decided to finally go on my worldwide wander.
I plan on travelling from Australia (where I live) to South East Asia then buying a car and travelling east before turning north and travelling through the himalayas towards Eastern Europe and then over to Ireland and spend time with my family there.
I'm asking for any advice, I plan on travelling alone or at least not with anyone I know currently. I'm not an extremely experienced traveller.
>>1156314
First of all, buy spare parts for car.
Second of all, get a compass, because I'm pretty sure travelling east from South East Asia won't get you to Europe.
(no h8, just playing)
Thirdly, Plan trips from big city to big city, I imagine driving through the -stans alone might get you killed more easily than anywhere else
>>1156321
Thanks spare parts is a good idea, Im not just heading east I do plan to map it out a bit more.
Definitely plan to avoid the - stans as much as possible. Also I'm going to be well equipped for this trek I don't even plan on having the car the whole way so I'm going to be equipped enough as if I was planning on walking the trip so yeah I'll have a compass haha. I'm not experienced international traveller like I said but I have been camping all over Australia in many climates pushing myself while I know this doesnt add up to the experience that travelling cross the eurasian continent would usually require I am very confident in my ability to adapt to the situation.
>>1156321
> I imagine driving through the -stans alone might get you killed more easily than anywhere else
But i've driven in the -stans and that's bullshit, people there are some of the nicest in earth, and most roads outside cities are rugged and limited so you won't find that big of a problem navigation wise
