Ask in one of the 4 other Thailand or SEA threads

Well I was hoping not to turn their discussion into a sex tourism one

>>1128486
There is already a lot of that in each of them. Even the one started by the female Korean American OP, third of that thread is her trip, a third Pattaya, and the third people arguing about whether sex tourism is good or bad

Everything in Tasmania is obscure

well, obsucerer then?

Visit Kangaroo Island between Australia and Tasmania.

Have you tasted kangaroo milk before? It's a true treat, especially iced. Far more vitamins than cow's milk.

Ibiza - Why have you not been?

>>1128184
I took a pill in Ibiza

To show a Avici I was cool..

Smartphone will get you there. If you really want the keyboard and screen estate, get a laptop. If you're traveling for extended periods , battery life is your main feature. So probably no larger than 14.1 inch to save on screen consumption and low power parts.

Are you concerned with how much weight you're carrying? What about personal information security?

Consider what would be easier to lock down in a case your shit gets stolen. A lost computer is the fastest way to lose your identity.

I suggest a tablet because it's lighter and There's no HDD to take out that contains your data. A lot of tablets have a built-in cellular data connection you can use so that if your tablet does get lost you can locate it or remotely wipe it. Without it having access to the Internet it can't be remotely wiped.

>There's no HDD to take out that contains your data.
Where the fuck is your data then? Obviously they can get it if they steal the whole thing.

>Going to the South of Portugal soon, will be staying in the Al Garve/Faro area.
Almost the same, passing Faro by and staying there maybe a couple of days but most of the time in Lagos. Also bump.

Is 500 Euros enough for 5 days if I want to eat out for lunch and dinner and have a couple drinks every night?

Is your credit score good? If you're able to avoid getting into credit card debt, then do it. Making your minimum spending gets you a shitload of miles. United's shit though, so if you're looking for flexibility then I suggest getting the Chase Sapphire card. You'll be able to try different airlines without the guilt of missing out on those awesome miles.

>>1126271

Wait. Explain this Chase Sapphire card to me..

Yeah I have good credit.

>>1126275
> 50,000 reward points that can be converted to miles upon spending $4k within 90 days
> Double points from spending it on food, drinks, and trips (that includes Lyft fyi) without any foreign transaction fees
> $95 annual fee is nothing if you have good credit
> Points can be used for flights on BA, Korean, Singapore, United, and Virgin, as well as Hyatt and Marriott hotels

So long as you keep up with the payments, you'll be able to travel quite well fairly quickly.

Are you on a tight schedule? Aside from the usual cities, make sure you go to Redwood National Park which is right on your itinerary. If you have time to kill head up to Sequoia and Yosemite NP's.

>>1125345
A little bit. There's not going to be any rush on our part, but we want to be done with the trip in about a week. We're going to be running on a budget of around $500, for 2 people, for gas and food, and I figure by around Newport, we might be running low, and that'll decide what the last leg of our trip looks like, whether we just cut through washington directly to spokane, or take the scenic route through northern washington.

Definitely going to stop through Redwood Natl Park.

The last stop on the coast is going to be Westport, Washington, before we cut inland. We've got a friend there that we're going to crash with before the last leg through washington.

Any road smead planned? Def recommend road smead as it passes the time and goes great with a pretty drive

>>1124588

That's a damn small budget.
Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Paris, greek islands are all out of the question as you need at least 50€ per day and person even on a wild camping budget to have not a total hobo tier trip.

Suggestions are: Go to the east:
Poland (Gdansk, Warsaw etc)
Black Sea
Even Balkan should be doable.
comfy on a 20-30€ budget per day needed including hostel and eating out.

>>1124593
Thank you for your fast reply. As I said, we maybe just want to stay for 3 or 4 days, not necessarily a whole week.

I was in Prague last month for four days and paid ~ 150€ overall. That's what I thought we could arrange also in another city. I think, when living at a cheap hostel and cooking on your own, we can get through the day for about 30€ per person, if necessary. But you're right, that would be very modest.

Thank you for the other suggestions. We're not that interested in Poland, but didn't think about the Balkan at all until now. We've been to Croatia already, but I'd love to go a bit further - so thank you, I really appreciate your suggestions.

Bulgaria is the solution, my friend.
5 days of very good conditions (hostel+food&entertainment) is plausible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primorsko
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsarevo

These are your best bets (Tsarevo's pics are shite on wiki, google image it) as they are within your budget. You an do Varna and Burgas, Golden Sands, Albena, etc but your budget will stretch. I recommend Primorsko. Plus with day trips you can go in the expensive places, just not sleep there.

Would also love to see this type of thread gets some atraction!

Man, I love traveling with trains. In december I headed east from Andermatt, Switzerland. Saw some of the most amazing views of the mountains in the sunny skies.

I really want to take the Glacier express. Read it's amazing!
Just need to decide if I should go in October this year or May next year.

Does no one here travel with 1 packpack and carrying DSLR or no one wants to answer me?

Ugh, guys...I need to find some smaller bag to carry my canon that fits in farpoint 40l.

>>1128154
Hey so... what i would recommend you is to get a small, cheap "boxy" camera bag that can also work as an insert for a larger pack.

I have a small Lowepro Event Messenger, and I use it as an insert in my 25L daypack, as having two bags is too cumbersome. Takes up about 1/3 of the available space, but the camera is well protected.

I am thinking of buying a Thule camera backpack. They have place for the tripod, and use an insert-based system so you can also use them as regular backpacks by removing the camera stuff. They also don't look like a typical camera bag... but as everything swedish, it's expensive.

I ditched my lowepro (space for DSLR, lens, lots of small accessories) for a bag like the picture, but smaller. I think it's meant for a mirrorless or point and shoot. I spent literally hours in a japanese camera shop trying to get the smallest I could manage

It's a squeeze to even get the DSLR in there, and I use a carabiner attached with a little lens bag. So all I have is camera + kit lens, extra lens and maybe a spare battery or filter

It's not ideal but I couldn't deal with having a larger bag and trying to stuff it in with my main pack. It fits reasonably into my daybag considering the lens bag being seperate.

It's just compromises, there's no easy way out. I'd like to take more gear comfortably but I'm trying to stick to carry-on, 30L (I'm planning on getting a farpoint 40 at some point)

If your budget were big enough, I would say, the coast of Antarctica by ship. Icebergs and penguins.
But if you are in the stage of life where important exams aren't medical, you probably can't afford it.

>>1128012
You need beautiful nature. Hiking, cool nights, maybe some sunrises or sunsets.

Vegas has a lot more to off than LA, which is odd given the differences in size.

Having been to both, Las Vegas is way more fun

Consider teaching English abroad? We usually have threads on that here

>>1127395

That's one of the biggest things I've come across in my research but I'd really love to continue with my career in IT.

Beggars cant be choosers though.

>support technician for a managed IT service provider so I'm nothing special
Just find an employer that allows you to work from abroad.

I am a digital nomad myself. It is not ideal, but anytime I get fed up, I change country.

Just make sure to never run out of money: Always keep a buffer.

Oi, lads and ladies.
