I did the same and had a blast. I'm not religious but I'm into history and anthropology. I would change haifa for Akko though. I visited the Nimrod fortress in the golan heights and was pretty cool and empty.

That's in Iraq, if you went there you got your ass blown up.

Same here

Why akko over haifa?
What kind of trip is nimrod? Hike adventure or just nature?

You will stand out because you are obviously tourists. It will make you a prime target for pickpockets.

Europe is a melting pot of different ethnicities. No one will bat an eyelid. Of course, it would help if you told us what parts of Europe you're going to. You're more likely to stand out in Eastern Europe to Western Europe for example.

From the moment you step foot on the plane the cabin crew will give a nudge nudge wink wink and the word will go out in europe for anyone wanting to order chinese take-out

once landed you'll be drugged and taken to the local whore house in europe where you will begin a life of servitude being sold to highest bidder each night

suitable replacement similar looking mongols will be brought in from asia and sent home to your parents

I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask, but if you really don't care where your destination is, I bet it's possible to find tickets for the same low prices online.

What I dream of is to one day just hop on a train/bus which leads mot SOMEWHERE. And then just go with the flow. I have the money. First I'm just gonna get /fit/ and complete nursing school. Then I'll take the next flight to SOMEWHERE.

The goal is to find the unknown - Anon

>ask the staff

I think that would have worked a few years back, but nowadays they'll most likely look at you with wide eyes like you're a fucking retard for not knowing how to use the internet (google.com/flights).

Stop smoking so much in the first place, you're gonna waste your life. Go back home, work and find some direction, you sound like you've travelled enough for a while. 2300€ is not enough to sustain drug-fueled aimless wandering for very long...

I got lazy back then and went home instead of starting to work on a farm again.
Ever since I left Australia and came back to germany I knew I want and will come back to Australia.
I'm currently doing an apprenticeship (mechatronics) worth three years of education at work and in school.
I am planning to leave Germany with that "certificate" of being a certified german electronics/mechanics/IT-guy.

Why not sit down and think about what where you would like to be in ten years time and what you have to do to achieve that?
Also think about your own strength and weaknesses. You need to reflect a lot.

Don't rush decisions. You might not make the right decision right now and you will think about that decision when you're older but you can always go back. Mistakes are made so you can learn from them.

Good luck, maybe we meet in Australia some day

If you're smoking 200$ worth of weed a week, either you should try and smoke less, or just get a new supplier where you get more for your money. That's the first thing to do.
When you're down there, you should just enjoy life, and if it's possible then make a plan to save up for south america, you can't go there if you spend all your money on overpriced weed in aussie

Travelling is great and it does come with some pitfalls, but to some there's a certain kind of education in the phenomenon of travelling for years with a backpack, some companies actually find that as a good thing on your personal resume...

But shortly I'll just tell you, that it's a hard thing to decide what to do, especially at age 19 and when you're already out in the big world then you're set for now, don't rush into thinking about getting educated, the development that comes from travelling might make you want not to even have any specific area of expertize.

>I'm not really attracted to loud people, racism

What race are you?

>>1127734
I'm white. But that doesn't mean I want this to happen, to others, around me. Western-Europe to be precise.

I'm Canadian living in nz for the last 4 and a half months. Its fucking waaaaay overrated. I really want to go back home. Mind you 90% of Canada is shit. So home for me is downtown Toronto, whereas everything outside of it is shitty. It's up to preference. Auckland is the worst place on earth, and the rest of nz is countryside fuckwits. Beer and drugs are expensive. And northland mostly looks the same. Nice countryside but gets boring after a month. South island is cool, but still only towns, Dunedin is great, unless you like farming and bored to death. Nz is not worth it

Definitely not okay, the designated and officially approved government age interval for friendship is two years. Do you want to go to gulag?

FFS! Don't go fucking with that kid's head!
The officially approved government age interval for friendship is dependent on both parties nationalities!
The largest gap is still only 10 years, though, but DON'T GO FUCKING LYING LIKE THAT TO THAT POOR KID YOU MONSTER!

Avoid major responsibilities in life such as kids. Don't get loans, don't owe money you can't pay back immediately. You get a job and live under your means, save up, quit your job and travel.

Easy.

Match vacation up with holidays to extend that 2 weeks. Break up that 2 weeks for two trips. Travel within your region on holidays. Negotiate for more vacation days, vice, or in addition to, a raise when the time comes.

You my initial advice, 4th of July is on a Monday, if you started a vacation this Friday when you left work, then you have 10 days for vacation. Also it's advantageous for someone in your situation to do packaged tours. www.gate1travel.com has a bunch of reasonable ones which include free days in the area you are in. Also Groupon has a lot. In fact, I found gate 1 on Groupon. To use the ever so popular Thailand as an example. Gate1 has a 10 day central Thailand tour for as low as $1199 with air. That includes your travel days. $629 without air.

But I actually get a month off each year, stackable, but you can't enter a new year with more than 60 days. I am actually going to lose a couple days this year. I was planning on flying out to California around the 4th, but just got put on a big project that lasts 3 months. Already bought the tickets. Thank goodness for travel insurance. Doing the 9 day in November, but staying for an extra 2 weeks on my own.

Palau if you want ALL OUT scuba bonanza.

But if you still want reslly good scuba with lots of rich culture and land based things to see, I would have to say Fiji.

Hawaii is also another good group of islands. They are relatively close, not too expensive to hop between, each island offers its own little unique environments to explore.

Which is your favorite hawaiian island for culture, and which for snorkeling?

I've only been to Maui and the Big Island, I think I like Maui more.

>>1131341
For culture, It really depends what you consider "culture".

I would say Oahu, although filled with meme tourists, has some amazing restaurants and night life.

For snorkeling, I'm not really sure because I scuba, so I dont know which areas are and aren't accessible to snorkelers.

Kaui has the best scuba IMO.

There is a place called forbidden island with rare hawaiian monk seals, lots of big ass sharks, walls of coral.

This stuff still exists off the coast of Oahu bit its a lot deeper. Also, Oahu has some WW2 wreck dives. Some of them are closed off and restricted to respect thr fallen.

I have heard Maui has some good snorkeling but idk for sure...

Icebreaker Merino underwear is amazing. I have never been so comfortable. Absolutely worth the 40 bucks.

I like uniqlo's airism boxer briefs. They hold their shape better than ex-officios if you wear them multiple times. And they pack smaller.

I haven't tried any of their other stuff but their boxer briefs are tits. Super comfortable, easy to sink wash, and then dry in a couple hours. They can be found for cheap sometimes on amazon if you scroll through the color options.

you shouldve saved more money senpai.

>>1130888
I would have but its hard to when you dont have any to save

I live in Michigan as well. It's not that bad. Given that this is a travel board and not an advice forum, I'd suggest that you ask more particular questions and inform us as to your circumstances. I don't see how we'd be able to provide any information when your question seems to be so vague and open-ended as, "I don't like my life but I have no listed skills or qualifications. How do I go about moving and finding a new job?"

I don't think /trv/ is the right place for that question.

light clothing, linen shirts will keep you cool. Heavy clothes like denim will make you feel much warmer than shorts made of some technical fabric

swallow ice for a quick cool-down

don't go out during the hottest part of the day (usually 12:00-2:00)

uh, use a fan?

>>1130870
Where in China are you going? They have temperate weather too.

>>1130870
Don't be a bitch if it's hot. Wear less clothes, don't wander at peak heat hours.
Don't be a bitch if it's cold. Wear more clothes, don't wanted during colder hours

>>1130823
I enjoyed my visits to LA and San Diego, San Diego more so. I can understand the car culture being nauseating, but I'm from the Midwest, so it's just as bad.

Life there is good, good food can be had, weather is consistently nice, so I can see how this creates this box-mentality that keeps people from ever leaving

Hence why I said about WWOOFing.

>>1130730
If you can find a WWOOF there, sure.
Though I'm assuming you know that WWOOF won't earn you money.

I've lived in the southeast most of my life, so maybe I can help a little. First off, if you've looking for good food, you're in luck; the southeast has the best food of anywhere in the country. Especially BBQ. Try BBQ in every state if you can; they all have different styles. Particularly, there's a BBQ place in Macon, GA called Fresh Air BBQ that's one of my favorite places. Also, in a town called Forsyth, GA (about 45 minutes south of Atlanta on I-75), there's a restaurant called the Grits Cafe, which is a "southern casual fine dining" restaurant. Some of the best food I've ever eaten came from there (I worked there for a few years). Go if you're in the area, and get the lamb chops or seared tuna if they have them.

You might catch the leaves turning in the mountains at that time, which would be cool. The drive through TN is fun and very pretty. The GA aquarium is a nice place to visit. I've found that AR, MS, AL, and OK are pretty boring. If you're into the bar scene, Athens, GA has the craziest one I've ever seen because of UGA being there. If you're looking for beaches, Destin FL is great. Lots of good forests and hiking in the southeast, too, but I don't have any specifically to recommend.

Have fun!

You won't find much to do in Baton Rouge, don't stay very long and just keep driving through to New Orleans. If you insist on seeing something, spend an afternoon downtown but no longer.

t. Lived here all my life

On your way down from Nashville I'd recommend checking out Asheville, NC. Neat little town in the mountains full of hippies. Good bars though.

Also I'd almost suggest going to Savannah, GA over Charleston but I suppose that depends on what you want to do. Savannah has open container laws downtown making it a great city to drink in, with historic bars right along the river front. Many a good night there eating good seafood and throwing back Jameson in bars as old as our country.
