if it´s Ibis hotel you need to take a taxi as it´s next to the highway and you can´t walk via the highway to the airport.

And the buses there are shit. I once stayed there 3 days for a business meeting..

>>1117332
The hotel is literally beside the airport, can't think of the name though.

Avoid: Phuket. There are plenty of beach places which are not ruined by tourists and scams.

Avoid:
Phuket
Pattaya

Recommend:
Chiang mai
Almost any island

If oppossed to Thai hookers, stay away from Pattaya.

If looking for Thai hookers, go to Pattaya.

Amore

Visiting the towers is a must, though the climb up is precarious. Also, you should take a train to Faenza, it's gorgeous, I went there with my grandad to locate the nearby war memorial and I fell in love with that little town.

Try Russia? i'm sure you will find lots of suffering there

>>1119380
Russia is huge, I would need a specific place or such instead of just wandering around.

Did you only visit the touristic, organized part or did you venture in the closed areas ?

Amsterdam, well - if you must. Rotterdam is interesting, just chain up your bike. Arnhem is boring as fuck and literally without any significant landmarks or anything to view or do. Swap it out for The Hague.

>>1119314

Arnhem is right on the cycle route. I'll probably just sleep in the vicinity and depart then. The Hague is on the way from Amsterdam to Rotterdamn, though, so I'll probably check it out.

Do train stations in big cities offer lockers and bike racks to keep things safe?

>>1119317
Sorta, everyone dumps their bike anywhere. Just find somewhere to lock it up that is in plain sight of other people.

Finn here. It would be easier to answer the work question if you would tell where you are from/what is your nationality.
So if you're an EU citizen, then you can work,study etc. At least by legal issues, because then we get to the other point: language.

Finnish is weird, unique language, found to be very hard to learn by everyone (except estonians, their language is pretty much the same)
If you work as a cook/cleaner and jobs where you're not excepted to serve customers, english will do fine. And there is quite a few english speaking bartenders in the bigger cities where people wont get offended that they're being served with another language.

Finland is also rather expensive country, just to let you know.

>>1119239

i'm from Australia and i have german back ground :/

finland is a shithole desu

Honestly, I don't think there are any noteworthy amusement parks in the area. Best you'll get is a decent coaster or two and than a bunch of generic rides in the vein of top spins etc
You either satisfy yourself with meh parks like Energylandia in Zator or Vidampark in Budapest, or aim higher and make your way to western Germany to visit Europapark or Heidepark.

>>1118600
I see. Oh well, I know there's at least a decent water park or something near Munich.

>>1118532
Maybe the zoo will fix the mood?

This is going to be good

>>1117925
have you done any research?

i looked into this a little while ago, apparently it is mandatory to get a guide. why don't you look up guides, read their website and read reviews?

There is a train ride leading to the top. I think that's the only way you can there, actually. Railroad is named PeruRail; line is named Ferrocarril Santa Ana.

>>1117727
Jesus, I thought that was a screenshot from a video game.

>traditional "paradise" vacation thing

Then you should have gone to Hawaii.

The Florida Keys is where Baby Boomers go to spread HSV and HPV during retirement and ride around on hogs (the motorcycles and fat old women)

>>1117727
Florida Keys is interesting, I was there for a week I think with Boy Scouts, there's a big thing called Sea Base where captains let Scouts on their ships and sail them around. One of the most interesting things to do is to drive from Miami to Key West and just do the interesting stuff you see along the way. Feeding the giant carp was cool, I think the place was called Robbies; Stand there with food and they jump up. Southernmost point in the US is cool, and so is the Conch Republic Government Building.

They declared independence and war on the Coast Guard by throwing moldy bread at them, but surrendered after a minute. The Coast Guard conceded to them as a joke, so now they technically have a government and they do a lot of touristy stuff. Buy flags, get your passport stamped, throw stale bread at the Coast Guard.

Check out Atlas Obscura before you go, that's what I always do.

Interested in any opinions or experience

Trail runners I believe

>>1116515
I've got got a pair of hill walking shoes and a pair of flip flops. In south east Asia. All depends on what you're doing and where you're going. Trail runners sound good though.

>>1116414
Thanks for the reply, I am also staying for two weeks by the way so am I obligated to write down all of the addresses or should just the first lodging suffice?

>>1116442
yeah if you don't they notice when you stop going to the same place and hunt you down to deport you

Any vague clue as to what sort of things would interest you?

>Also, read sticky about bumping.

Good luck with your trip, though.

>>1118670
without any details provided, you are much better off using google

the point of asking something like this on /trv/ is to get answers that are personalized for you.

Enjoy your inevitable heat stroke faggot

Definitely would not recommend renting a car but you could if you wanted to. You sometimes have to pay more since you're not yet 25. The only real reason is because even though you can drive, driving long distances in another country takes much more focus and attention. You could easily fall back into your regular driving habits when you're tired or hungry. In the US, rest areas could be far and few in between even if you're Pennsylvania, much less the midwestern states. I've personally driven from NYC to Houston and that was pretty draining after all was said and done.

Greyhound is not really dangerous. There are reports every once in a while that the media blows out of proportion but for the majority of the time, it's safe and very mediocre. If the price is right and it takes you to where you need to go, then take it. Otherwise, train is your only other option unless you want to be flying everywhere. Uber might also be a viable option maybe. But it isn't reliable in the sense that you can't plan ahead of time.

But I think it's ultimately a price issue. Call or e-mail a car rental service and then ask how much would rates be and if there is an surcharge for being under 25. If you do rent a car for a considerable amount of time, usually the price per day goes down.

Very good advice, thanks!
What about hitchhiking? Is there an open attitude towards it nowadays?

>>1118104
I recommend driving, Greyhound takes forever to get somewhere, they stop at every little town. Renting a car is cheaper in the US than in Europe and you will be able to see much more by being able to make side trips and stop when you choose. I don't know what the other anon was talking about concerning rest areas, unless you have to piss every 30 minutes they are on every interstate highway often. I have driven road trips from NC to AZ to Idaho, Maine and Florida never had a problem about rest areas. Out west though you want to try to keep[ a half tank of gas in your vehicle. I've been in some places in Texas and NM where gas stations are 100 miles apart, but those are some of the neatest places to go IMO. Have fun, get a map(don't just depend on GPS).

Shout out to the British businessman on the rickshaw in Gothenburg. You told me I need to figure my shit out and start a career, or else I'll be one of those loser hippy euro backpackers in his mid 40s living in a squat and bragging about lays from 20 years ago, who everyone avoids in the pub. You tipped me 150 pounds and begged me to get my shit together before I'm too old.

I take my final real estate license exam tomorrow morning :)

Shout out to that central asian man I met at a restaurant in Egypt. He asked if we were part of the Muslim brotherhood, kind of an inappropriate question because if we said yes we could go to jail. Then when he knew our group was American, he said America good, Russia good good.

Shout out to Dave
