>>1128826
Do you like cars? They have a great car museum

Well now you know how shit your local weed actually is.
Your best bet is to lay off for a while.

You just need to take a break, I'm living in France and it happens often. 1 week is good enough usually but after a couple days I'll start not feeling it again. I should take a longer break like 1 month but life is too shit to stop smoking currently

>>1128537
Tower of London is cool then pub lunch?

Cocktails at the shard?

Where you from?

>>1128627
Holland.

>>1128537
Walk from Parliament Square to Trafalgar Square then up The Mall to Buckingham Palace.

5000 should cover your food, hotels and flight for a month by far. So yeah, 20000 is enough.

Have you looked into the cost to ship a vehicle out of the states and licensing it in Europe? That aspect may be very expensive. Other than that, I think your plan is doable cost-wise, although it is difficult to get a vehicle insured in California if you don't have a US address. As long as you are 25 or older, renting is probably a better option. $1200 will get you a one way rental SF to NY.

Buy some camping gear when you get to SF and a National Park pass and you can have some incredible adventures. Too many places come to mind to list, but a month will go by really fast and you won't have much time left after doing the national parks. Budget an additional $100/day for most expenses and you should be good.

I tried to use google maps to post a possible route but it wouldn't let me use all the places I wanted in one big route so I will just write them out.

>SF
>Redwood NP
>Yosemite
>Sequoia NP
>LA
>SD
>Grand Canyon
>Santa Fe, NM
>Dallas
>Houston
>New Orleans + Trips up the Mississippi river to see some of the old plantations like pic related as well as some small towns like Natchez
>There are some places in MS and AL like Oxford plus some old neat plantations worth seeing if you are still into it after Louisiana
>If you have time you can drive down to Miami and see the city + the everglades. Not much else in Florida worth seeing unless you want to go to Disneyland.
>Savannah, GA
>Charleston, SC plus some of the small towns around the coast of SC
>Wilmington, NC +if you have some extra time hit up the western part of the state from some Asheville and mountain action.
>Outer banks, NC

>Richmond + some old towns like Fredricksburg and Harpers Ferry.
>D.C.
>Baltimore
>Philly
>NYC
I'm sure others will have different suggestions. There will be plenty of side trips in these places as well that I missed.

Ann Arbor is a hick city. No worth of living.

come to stoke lad
get ur fill of pie and water
on your way out get more pie and water
leave with more pie and less water

>>1128501
Stay at home moms love Ann Arbor, shut up!

Do you have a visa?

>>1128397
No, does everyone need one? I have a british passport

>>1128429
There was a temporary visa exemption for UK citizens valid through... I think it's this month. Check your embassy website to see if it's still valid.

If not, visas on arrival can be procured, but you have to sign up for them in advance... Lots of online travel agents doing this with 24-48 hour turnaround. You get an approval letter that you hand in with your passport at the VOA window. Easy enough to do.

Assuming you either don't need or don't mind getting a visa, and that you've never been in Hanoi before, the old part of town around Hoan Kiem lake is an obvious first choice--lots of narrow streets, cafes, restaurants, and bars, nice atmosphere if a bit heavily touristed (the north end of the lake is sort of a backpacker ghetto, but locals eat and drink there too). Great atmospheric place to wander in for a few hours.

Also excellent is the relatively new National Ethnographic Museum. If you want some communism, the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and museum are of also of some interest.

>nice

haight and ashbury

a few nice parks in the college area. thats all i can think of

Yeah, I'm not sure, OP. Though i will throw in a plug for durham, which I visit every two months or so to see friends. It's much smaller than raleigh but has a pretty good restaurant and bar scene, a well known minor league baseball team, the really pretty duke campus and gardens, good local music, and some other cool stuff I'm sure. Have a good trip wherever you go.

Museum in Raleigh has the only mounted Acrocanthosaurus skeleton n display anywhere in the world, if you are into that sort of thing.

They had gotten a grant to bid on acquiring Sue, the Tyrannosaurus now in the Field Museum, and got into a bidding war for that -- Field had deeper pockets, and there sat Raleigh with all this money and here comes somebody finding a decent and fairly complete Acro. Not as big as a T. rex, but still -- only one in the world.

The Spanish law provides you with a compulsory break of one day and a half per week minimum, or of 3 full days in each 14 days.
If you work more than 6 hours per day, you're entitled to a break of 15mn minimum.
You have at least 15mn to eat mid-day that counts in the work time.
There must be a break of 12 hours minimum between two working days.
You can not work more than 9 hours per day and 40 hours per week unless you agreed to it.

OP here. I wasn't being that specific, I don't have a contract or things like that. It was more of a "fuck you host" post.
Plus, I decided not to eat this evening and they didn't ask me if I wanted to.
That's rude but who cares I guess

backpack desu

>>1128034
Just get a 35L backpack and wash your 2 changes of clothes in the sink, you stupid faggot.

>>1128034
Fuck you retard. I'm not a backpacker. I go full /out/ on my travels, so I need something to put camping & fishing gear in for the flight.

Ah, you're heading to Peru! Wonderful place, nice views. Especially from the top of Machu Picchu. For some cultural do's and don't's:

DO NOT carry around valuables or wear expensive jewelry.
DO NOT walk around shirtless. Dress informally.
DO NOT use "indio" or "indios" to refer to the natives. Those are considered derogatory to them.
DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER. Buy the bottled variant instead.
Here's a big one.
DO NOT, AND I MEAN DO NOT be offended by the word "Gringo" (foreigner; white person)

Reading for pleasure before going can enhance the fun of being in the place where those books were set. Go the library and order a few of these to peruse them properly before reading or buying one.

I suggest Lost City of the Incas, since it's the travel document of the guy who discovered the ruins in the 50s. Three Letters from the Andes is also interesting. Sometimes seeing a country after someone else is enlightening, as travelers explore for different reasons and it might open your eyes to experience one aspect more.

Might want to read up on foodie things and festivals. One of the more interesting I've discovered is the fighting holiday that settles neighborly disputes, Takanakuy. This video is some dumbass-irritating hipster traveler that filmed it for VICE part 1 and 2, but enjoy the faux-lonely planet kind of commentary as he fully participates at a remote village that was a 10 hour drive. By the end of it, you get a full education though and appreciate local life. I'm sure you'll end up sharing with your classmates. It's that good!
https://www.vice.com/video/takanakuy-part-1
Filmwise, one of the best films made this year that was screened at Sundance is a documentary on Peru called When Two Worlds Collide. It can be hard to get a copy of a film that is currently in the early phases of the festival circuit, but keeps your eyes open locally, for when released in August.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5278932/awards?ref_=tt_awd

Foodwise, if you can get away from your fellow youngster travelers and drink underage at some point, you might enjoy some pisco sour if made the right way with egg white. :P For nonalcoholic the corn drink Chicha morada is a must-try, even found at mcdonalds. Of course eat lots of ceviche. Go to a market and hopefully find some sellers of fresh fruit that you've never had, such as camu camu. Guinea pig, alpaca jerky. Papas Huancaina has amazing aji sauce as does pollo.

Anyone?

>>1127821
Your post is confusing. Are you looking to travel or live in Ireland? Two different things, of course.

You need to rent/own a car to see Ireland properly. Too many towns to cover that only have 1 day of sights, and the trains and buses aren't scheduled right for you. It should take 1 week for each hemisphere of the country, maybe 2-3 weeks for the whole country if you're luxuriously doing it all at once. Go at shoulder seasons and you should find the B&Bs lovely and quite affordable, though the rain might be everpresent. Rick Steves' project author happens to do the best guidebook for this country, so just use his suggest itinerary plans for ideas. I prefer the South, from dublin to shannon as a great start or single only trip, if you only have a week.

To work as a non-euro person, I'd say forget it. I think a lot of natives have to actually leave to find work, such is the problem with the small towns and/or islands, and when you include the ability for the whole of the EU to get a work permit, from every small town in Poland, I'd say forget it for trying to work your way around, esp with a job like you suggest you'd need to do some schooling and licensure. If you want to travel while working, you'd probably be best getting your own business where you only need wifi access to just work from your laptop anywhere. Programmer? Money management? Website maintenance? Drop shipped online store?

>>1127997
I want to live there and see the country for maybe a year or so. I got several skills that I have but I am sure I have to get recertifed to work in the EU or N. Ireland. Any suggestions on income? I'm all ears. Also, I was not aware that getting employed there would be so hard. Is it just because there is smalls town scattered everywhere?
I'll check that author out, I am trying to be there within six months =/

Here we go...

Utah is a must, pretty much every national park there is pretty incredible and worth seeing.

Drive the Pacific Coast Highway.

this is so gay and wrong

Lindos and Rhodos City are prette nice. Falikraki has a lot of great beaches and there are some lonely beaches at the south of it. Faliraki itself is a typical tourist town, I think almost no Greek actually lives there. I also enjoyed driving through the Island there are lovely villages and beautiful nature on the way. Just take a shitton of water with you. If you want to eat something buy some fruits from Greeks you see on the way. Its cheap, they are poor so you are helping them and its fucking tasty. I bought one watermelon almost every day. Also there is a chappel on a mointain with a beach nearby. I think it was called Prasonissi or something like that and was a pretty cool beach. The waterpark is ok but pretty expensive and not that special, but worth one day in my opinion. Also check out the 7 springs, its great to have a cool and shadowy place with cold water after driving a few hours through one of the hottest places in Europe. Rhodos is an Island which is great to explore in my opinion so just rent a car for a few days and drive wherever the road leads you. If you are not the explore type, just stay at Falikiraki beaches and visit Lindos and the Capital.

>>1127370
thanks! will look into it. We'll be staying in Rhodos city. Is going out for diner cheap or expensive due to all the tourists?

>>1128346
It depends. You can probably spend a lot of money on food if you eat at the usual tourist traps, but it was actually easy to find a cheap dinner.
On another note, half of russia seems to spend their freetime at Rhodos. It's quite bizarre to see russian shops on a Greek Isle. I spoke to some Greeks and they told me that it was the same with Germans in the 80's and 90's. So don't be suprised when someone starts speaking to you in Russian.

>>1127217
New Orleans should be okay without a car. Houston is too big and hot to be waiting on meager transit. Light rail isn't that extensive. Get a driving licence at home so you can rent a car.

>>1127240
Cool, I probably will go to New Orleans. Amtrak and Megabus (sounds fishy, but eh) seem to be possible. During my stay in Houston I will be with other people, and we'll have a car.

Any idea about San Antonio / Dallas / Austin?

Austin and San Antonio are fun. Lots of traffic I. Austin. New Orleans is cool too. I'm about 2 hours from there. Never go, but still fun when I do
