i personally found the smokeys and the section between Erwin Tennessee and Damascus the nicest parts.

you'll probably get better feedback for these questions on /out/

I appreciate you getting back to me and do you think I should just make a duplicate post on there?

>>1284246

I've been in JC for a year now, totally go if you can on that route. Great scenery and nature,bring good boots. If you have more specific questions ask.

condoms

Lol, me and my friend are already in relationships. I will tell our single friend though! Thank you!

dude what's your itinerary like? doing a similar trip minus Vienna in October. Really confused about where to visit in Croatia. The tentative plan is to arive in Dubrovnik from a Ferry from Southern Italy and then end up in Hungary 7 days later.

Swimming is free bro.

Resident here.
Friggin expensive for food and lodging.
Milk is like 5$ a gallon, cereal is like 6$ a box for name brands, just to give you a baseline for food expenses. Most out doors stuff is free if you arent hiring a company. We have a severe lack of campgrounds as well, so that sucks for budge traveling. Also, unless you are on Oahu there is a shortage of nightlife.
Which island? Big island is probably the cheapest, but also kinda the least visitor oriented.

Seriously no replys?

On any road trip you're gonna get a bit sick of your traveling companions. I think if you take time at a few places to spend a day on your own or in pairs or something you'll find that that eases the stress. I doubt that it'll be a horrible experience, but you're going to have to work to ensure that

>>1284117
Yeah and I think it is going to be hard because most of my friends are really lazy, it's like they're offline, like talking to them is like sending chat messages to a person who barely replies.

But a friend that is really lazy says he got more energy when he was in USA, Mostly it's just an excuse, a country's climate can't change a person from being a lazy boring person to a cheerful person.

Go to Vama Veche. It's a places where hippies used to go to party and it still has a cool and authentic vibe there. Easily the best town by the black sea. Weekdays are quiet but on weekends it's packed. The beach there is good aswell.

>>1283991
I support this, even if Vama Veche is in Rumania and not in Bulgaria. Otherwise I'd say the more beatiful beaches are more towards the south (around Sinemoretz), while the central coast is more touristy (especially the Gold and Sun Beach which I'd advise you to avoid)

Don't: Being American.

Culture clash will happen as you folks are kinda unable to adopt even in a basic way...

>>1283998
My friend that lives there is from Germany but claims to be American (spent a quarter of his life here)
He doesn't have a problem

1. being any from LGBT gets you death sentence.
2. No sex allowed unless you're married.
3. Don't come during summer unless you want to face 49+ degrees (Celsius) of blazing heat
4. No kissing in public and at all times in public 75% if your body should be covered

Eu has eliminated roaming charges as of this year so technically any Sim you get should be an all-EU sim.

>>1283938
A bunch of companies got exceptions to that rule, though, and they can charge up to 7.70 EUR per GB for mobile data. It's much better than it was, but it's worth checking what different carriers are offering. Some only offer "roam like at home" prices on long-term contracts not pre-paid.

>>1283928
Oregon and Cali are much better, $150-$200 aud/day is twice as much as you need desu.

>>1283928
Before you leave the state, visit the Olympic Peninsula.

Go on a hike in the forest there.

The peninsula has the only rainforest in the continental united states.

>besides my university, I'll be very much on my own
If your university regularly accepts foreign students they will have an international office that will help you with all this stuff.

Good luck OP
I would love to move to the Caucasus but I feel it would be hard to find a job in there.
I wish you the best

>>1283958
You are correct. There is an international office available. I guess I just don't want to call on them for every little question I have. And the advice of people who have moved overseas themselves can be different or more informative. But thanks.

>>1284075
Thank you! My job can be done remotely, and I spent the past two years saving. That's how I'm affording the move, personally.

>Travel to destinations that interest you whether it be the history of the area, or the landscapes, or the culture, or historic landmarks.

History is something i can read about in a book. Anything less than experiencing something like the arab spring or annexation of crimea first-hand doesnt really interest me.

>experience the history and culture of a foreign nation

what does that even mean? that never really made sense to me, nor did

>experience the true/native/[insert adj] nation x

anyway, i'm not interested in that kind of kind of tourism.

to be honest, i'm not sure i'm interested in tourism at all. My best experiences were traveling for study, or most recently for work.

Maybe I can turn traveling into enjoyable work, but I don't know how I can turn traveling into enjoyable for its own sake.

>>1283747
maybe see the catalog
>>1283221

as someone who can play nick drake songs only moderately well and dropped out of college youre doing better than me. i think travelling almost anywhere, getting outside your comfort zone, and learning to navigate and live in a foreign place is general will help you to become a man, anon. then again we're both sitting here posting on 4chan

Was in Greece almost a year ago to the day.

Are you planning on staying put in Athens?
Its kind of a dump desu. My friend has family there so we had a flat to stay in for the 2 weeks in southern suburb area of Athens. I recommend checking out the tourist trap areas such as the Acropolis, and city for a day or 2. The beaches in Athens are just meh.

If you can, you should venture up to Thessaloniki (lots of history there too) and then over to Chalkidiki (if you want beautiful beaches). Chalkidiki was absolutely amazing in my experience.

Enjoy your trip!
