Dude don't worry about it I'll give you a ride

This is Greyhound we're talking about. Chances are they're scanning to see that the ticket is genuine, rather than the spelling of one's name. Even if they make a big deal about it, you can just cause a scene and make it look like their fuck-up.
>WHAT?! YOU MOTHERFUCKERS SPELLED MY MOTHERFUCKING NAME WRONG!

last time I was on, the bus driver just looked at the ticket and punched it
helped that it was a 11pm pickup in a small town

Yeah, don't give any specific details about where you're going to be, it's not like it's a whole continent or anything.

in Italy you can buy data (like 12Gb) easily, only buying unlimited data is more difficult

In france you can buy prepaid sim cards at basically any Tabac (tobacco store) that can come with data

>How much do hostels cost? Privacy?
1/3 of a budget hotel might be the price in expensive travel destinations, maybe 2/3 in cheap destinations
>Is it safe?
From my experience, it is
>Privacy?
kek

>What do you eat when travelling?
Depending on the country, I'm either eating out or cooking my own stuff. In cheap countries I'd suggest a hostel that's including breakfast, so you'll only have to pay 1-2 cheap meals - go eat where the locals eat. In expensive countries: toast and porridge for breakfast, rice and pasta for dinner.

>What are the shower/wash conditions usually like in most hostels?
This really depends on the hostel. You should check ratings before going, as some hostels in first world countries look like a third world shithole
and vice versa.

>from Lithuania originally
Just met two Lithuanian girls, you guys seem to be really nice folks

I think ive seen somewhere private rooms in hostels being advertised, but i couldnt check the price. Is this a possibility and how much more is it usually?

Are there any other cheap accommodation options apart from hostels? I guess renting a room off airbnb might be a good option too if you can get a good deal, but there wont be as many people to socialize with as in hostels, which is probably key if ur travelling alone im guessin


What city did u meet them if u dont mind me asking

Also roughly planning maybe 2 or 3 small trips this year (3-4 days each) to somewhere in europe where i can find cheap flights, to see how i feel about travelling solo, and want to do a month long trip next year somewhere outside europe. Any suggestions?

>Is South Africa a safe country to visit for tourists?
Yes.
>I was thinking about going there next year, but after reading this list, I'm not sure anymore
>Article explaining common sense that should be followed in any country
You'll be fine if you have some common sense.

>>1285845
there is already a troll thread for south africa, for the sake of continuity can you stick to that?

You should have started talking to them when they walked in. Now you've missed your chance and you've overthought things, so any attempt at communication will be autistic drivel.

The Kebab / Falafel places are cheap. 65kr for pic related (1 plate of the food, not the girls). Check out Jerusalem Kebab at Sodermalm, plus the competitors.

When I was in Copenhagen I had Kebab a lot. 55-60 DKK for a giant Kebab > 40 DKK for a Polse because the Kebab is about 250% larger

I usually make friends with one or two staff members on every cruise I've been on, and most of those guys are just doing what they're doing to send money back home. The contracts require them to work away from home for extreme periods of time. Though I never heard this specific complaint I still imagine that being stuck on ship for long periods of time is ungodly boring even if you do get some time off.

Basically, you're a wage slave in exotic locales that you have a couple of hours to enjoy. The biggest hurdle is how much time you're willing to commit and sign on for, but if you can accept that and have nothing better going for you at the moment, it might be a worthwhile experience.

>>1285697
Like the other guy said, a wage slave with a chance to go ashore in exotic locations once in a while. Depending on your job and status, you may have a private cabin or you might share a tiny room with 4 other people. Your food and accommodation are paid for so you can save some money. Wages on an American flagged ship may be better. There is one, the pride of america in Hawaii. The rest are foreign flagged and are not required to pay American wages. Again, your skills will determine your wages and benefits

You need a skill that they need onboard or else good look getting hired. I knew a pastry chef. Its not as great as it sounds, you get fired on the spot if you're caught fucking a guest. Some dont even allow you to get off the ship.

Costa Rica is fucking beautiful. I'd avoid tourist heavy areas like Guanacaste (I've never been approached by so many drug dealers). I stayed in a little town in Alajuela Province for a month and really enjoyed it. If I had Costa Rica to do again, I'd stay somewhere in the mountains out of the worst of the heat, maybe San Pedro de Poás.
Costa Rican food is... how do I put this? They grow some of the best produce in the world. It's so good just coming out of the ground that none of them learn how to cook worth a damn. Meals were really simple, usually pieces of fruit, some bread, and the ever present Gallo Pinto. But there are some Costa Rican consumables I really enjoyed. Costa Rica made me realize what real coffee was. The Caribbean influence they have makes for a good variety of excellent rums too. I don't smoke, but I hear the cigars are very good as well. I came home with seven kilos of coffee; were I thinking, I would've stocked up on rum and cigars too.

summer in Spain is beautiful
