Dunno, I'm not into a lot of the things you seem to be into, and it has been several years since I sailed around the Bahamas, spending little time in Nassau. But the row of fish-shacks out towards the now-defunct Coral World underwater observatory were a good place to eat local seafood where locals eat it. Without the observatory, tourists have (or had) no reason to walk out there.

I have no idea of the Precision Drill Flamingos are still in business, but they are worth seeing just for the story (JUST for the story, and be drunk when you go.)

I remember hearing about the Coral preserve from a bartender somewhere down there. A sunglasses salesman in the market (dropped and shattered my regular pair) told me about a really good seafood restaurant near there and another one off JFK (one of their main roads there)

Bangkok, Thailand.

I lived there for two years teaching English and had great friends there. I felt more comfortable there than I do here. I feel sad just thinking about it. Unfortunately I didnt like teaching enough to make a career out of it and its hard to make enough money there to justify living there long term.

Time for stories and details, fr13nd0.
This board is all about the ESL teaching in Asia meme. Did you not earn enough to get by or you missed luxuries? Were you licensed, how were you employed, etc

Airplanes feel like home for me.
I'm always crushed when they land or take off because it means the journey is over. I wish that I could have become a pilot but a medical condition prevented that from ever happening so I just travel as a bandaid to keep me sane for another 40 or 50 years.

It's hard to believe there would be a better ESOL course that whatever MDC is offering. Call their interamerican(little havana) campus and pose the question to the Education people who do the 1yr transitional program that takes any BA/BS degree and turns you certified, because I know they do the in-class practicum there.

Miami-Dade is hella far from where I live, anon. I'm in Pasco-Hernando, about an hour north of Tampa/Hillsborough County. I live in small-town hell and I drive 45-60 minutes to do anything. Miami is about 5, maybe 6 hours by car from where I live. Solid suggestion though, and thank you for it.

I have done a CELTA and the i-to-i online thing. The i-to-i online thing was shit so I did a CELTA. The CELTA was good.

>i plan to enter via poland --> lvov, kiev and odessa.
You will be fine in those cities. They are big cities/don't care about non-whites, and they're far away from the war zone.
However, there will be a large language barrier if you don't speak Russian/Ukrainian.

Take the high-speed train between Lviv and Kyiv. I don't think it exists between Kyiv and Odesa.

I took a 16 hour sleeper train in Ukraine and it was quite the experience. Overall it wasn't too bad, but you should be careful and keep to yourself.
It looked as though there were some bad people (criminals or people with bad pasts) on the train, but they did not stay near us for very long and I was with my Russian speaking gf so we were fine.

They are pretty racist there. You might be stopped extra long at the border and people will generally avoid helping you, but no one will be violent. I wouldn't expect anything less from a slav country.

Whats up grandpa?

>>1151629

cycle tour with a tent and a jetboiler. start in australia and work my way up

>>1151629
ez pz
That's thrice my usual budget anyway. Tent whenever possible, cheapest hostel when not. No restaurants, only groceries and street food. Hitchhike a lot too. Pick the cheapest countries for the every continent requirement, both in terms of living costs and available airfare.

from Sydney fly to Chile and make my way north until Colombia, do whatever is cheapest to get to US, go north through Canada and then fly to China and then go overland through Central Asia to Europe and then down to Africa.
I mean with $10000 you could just catch flights across the various continents and stay the remainder in a cheap country, but that's not really the point is it?

Waste of money for me.

put some back into it m8

>>1151638
Wrote 2 messages and got an OK 10 hours later from both. Make your profile less creepy.

Stayed in Iceland for 2 months, worked every day, had to get up at 6am every day because I had to milk the cows. After 3 days I knew all of the cow's personalities, my host said nobody ever understood the cows as fast as i did, some never noticed different personalities even after milking them for a month, made me feel pretty good.
Workaway is pretty cool, I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I had the chance, but this years vacation is already planned.

Don't take a heavy jacket, just bring layers to save on space and weight, while also giving you a decent wardrobe to use as the weather/occasion changes. Wear a baselayer, a long sleeve shirt, a sweater and then throw on a hardshell rain jacket. All of those things combined won't take up as much space as say, a parka.

I'm sure you know that kinda stuff already but I figured I'd throw that in there.

>>1151599
That's a good point, thanks. I'm mostly going to spend my time in warmer climates and the only jacket I'm taking is a Columbia rain jacket, you know the type... Still debating what sort of second layers I'm going to take, I like hoodies but maybe I should take something else as well.

>>1151602
Thin hoodie and maybe a merino wool sweater or one of those zip-neck fleece type shirts. Combine those with a rain jacket and you will be pretty much set for any weather you get, unless you decide to go into a wintery area.

Of course not.
Now GTFO and delete this thread.

No I haven't OP, but I am also curious about travelling there

there's no way i'd travel there and let me dollars go to a corrupt dictatorship that clearly abuses humans.

Berkeley is fun: walk down telegraph avenue and look at all the people in the streets.

Also, if you have not already, try the Ferry Plaza farmers market and Alcatraz.

>>1151514
>Also any places here to meet qt girls?
>in San Fran

Heh. You poor, poor bastard.

>>1151479
>i like trains
Sounds like a pretty good place to start m8, go to seat61.com, find the SEA map and make a plan.
Pro-tip: the jungle line through Malaysia is amazing but will require you crossing the border via Sungai Kolok which imo is not actually that dangerous

>>1151479
fucking kill yourself m8 i hope you get run over by a tuktuk

>>1151643
i laughed way harder at this comment than i should've

>>1151478
it's probably illegal, police aren't too fond of random tents in the wilderness

a good bet is to ask a local farmer if you can pitch up in one of his fields for the night, bring him a few bottles of beer if your feeling nervous

>>1151478
>>>/out/

I've slept in every ditch and hedgegrow south of the Humber, and the only reason I'd be hesitant to do it again would be if there were a big dirty festival nearby with drug addicts wandering through the fields and police and farmers searching for troublemakers.
Just hide your tent well or ask permission is what I'm saying.
I often have success by asking in a local pub where I might wild camp nearby.

>>1151482
>wilderness

I'm a local so I don't really know which places would be suitable... but I guess Mlýnská kavárna is a cool place to hang out (at Kampa "island") even for a foreigner

I only go to Lucerna and Futurum clubs, because the have 80's and 90's dance nights (friday and saturday, I think) and there is a mix of young czechs and foreigners

>>1151449
X (as in cross) club normally has some cool nights on, also look up Dox Gallery performance space.

>>1151821

Hey anon, if you see a really tall tanned guy and his shorter brown haired friend in Futurum, say hi and I'll buy you a beer.

>>1151387
What flight and how much did it cost?

>>1151387
Don't worry about it, anon, it could have happened to any one of us

>>1151412
130€ from munich to paris and then on to tangier.
I ended up buying a last minute offer for tomorrow for 230 but I can pack a full size backpack as opposed to luggage only and the inbetween time is much shorter.

Wont let it ruin my vacation but it still sucks. I may have to go back via ferry and hitchhiking though, to keep face with people here...

If you like beer:

In Brugges, go to Fort Lapin Brewery. You might have to contact him to make a visit. It's a small family run place with amazing beer.

Also go to Bierbraserie Cambrinus in Brugges. It's a beer mecca. It's a little touristy, but not full of dumbasses.

In Brussels, check out La Porte Noire. It's a quiet little underground place specializing in local Belgian beer. Tourists dont go there.

>>1151374
Thanks anon. Any tips for Ghent

>>1151380
the center is fine. Manny nice bars. Don't forget to visith "het gravenstaan" the castel. The cathedrals and churches also are worth the visith

>>1151339
Whilst it's an okay city, it's not really worth the flight just for Reykjavik. Iceland is truly about the outdoors so it'd be best to plan a week or more to explore the island's natural beauty.

>>1151339

Yeah I would go. No more that 3-4 days though, it is pretty small.

(Not OP)
Should I move there?
Is it worth?
I am looking for a change in my life and moving to another country sure will do.
