Bristol museum and gallery
Cabot tower
M-Shed
Clifton suspension bridge
Avon Gorge
Cheddar gorge hike
The street art bonanza around Stokes croft
Check out our historic harbour

If you're looking to spend a bit of cash check out:
SS great Britain
@Bristol
Clifton observatory and caves

You say you like local delicacies? Best i can reccomed is local cider, its dry as a nuns chuff and you've got to chew the last 1/4 of the pint. Get some of that at "The Apple" its a pub on a boat and it sells a cider so rough you can only buy it by the half pint.

When you in the city anyways?

Hey, thanks for all the suggestions.
I'm glad to get some insight on the one destination of my trip I have the least amount of ideas about what to do!
Where I'm from some nice cider is very appreciated so dry cider is something I can get behind very well, sounds great.
I'll be in Bristol from the 20th to the 24th of may. Why, would you be up for a cheeky pint or some cider with me?
I'd be very glad to know some actual Brits when I get there.

If you're on a budget, why are you flying internally?

Unfortunately I've not a statistic yet.
I can though tell you that I spent 750€ for a 15 days trip with bycicle (included transportation with boat and few train tickets) in Italy in the high season. So I'm frugal enough but I would like to erode a little more my expenditure (i.e. more free-camping, couch surfing (et simila) and cook my food once in a while).

I don't typically budget for travel. I plan a trip, estimate costs and try to save up for that trip. I'll say that I don't usually spend much in a typical year. I do have some international travels that might be costly. In the past couple of years, I've probably spent 3000 or so (4000?) on flights, hotels, car rentals. This includes visiting friends, family, weddings, and vacation. On average, I fly once a year somewhere usually domestic for business or personal matters. I don't expect to spend more than 700 dollars for that trip after everything.

Yeah, I get compliments for my cherry red docs anywhere in the world, but fuck walking more than 5km in them. I got some adidas daroga plus shoes and they seem great for walking great lengths in city terrain thus far.

Unless you want to be able to change aperture and time, a modern phone will do just fine, especially in good lighting.

basically this.

Shit

Did you check online for your application status?

Crazy coincidence cause I came to this thread right after I read an article posted in the Toronto Fb group for sw Swedes: https://www.thestar.com/news/immigration/2016/05/13/frustration-abounds-for-immigration-call-centre-users.html

I'm Canadian too and likely not gonna end up with a North American. Almost all of my friends who have married to get their partner in has had a hard time. Luckily Sweden is most first world than Canada so that should help your chances.

Why not move to Sweden? I did, for a bit.

I mean a more classic european city than this

Quebec City is beautiful, in the old spots. There are times when it feels like you've been transported to Normandy. If it weren't for all the horrible tourists it would be easy to forget you're in North America.

Quebec City is pretty cool.
Montreal's Old Port is also very nice, too bad the rest of the city is a fucking cancer and a half.

Uruguay and Chile have a lot of unique stuff

>>1116706
Come to Brazil and I'll introduce you several qts. Unless you are a fat slob... then I can't help you sry.

I've heard North Korea has great cuisine and beaches, not to say one of the hottest women on earth.

Since you never went anywhere in your life I suggest you start small within your own state, then the surrounding states, surrounding countries and then worldwide.

I would ask you why you would really want to go to Vegas, especially because it's very out of the way. But if you are going to be headed in that direction, San Francisco would be your best option. You can also take a train from NYC to Boston, Philly, and/or D.C. which are all worth a visit sometime or another as well.

Are you mainly interested in just taking some photography when you're in NYC (judging from the fact you plan on buying a DSLR when you get there)? If so make sure you check out other places other than Midtown or the financial district. Lots of cool historical places in Manhattan like Greenwich or SoHo or even the east village and of course Brooklyn. Look for a list of land marked buildings (pro-tip: there's a lot) in NYC to photograph, some really cool and great looking architecture in the city, NYC has a lot of great unique and various European styles of architecture despite it being a relatively young city. Also how much money you plan on having for this trip? Judging from your post, you're gonna need a lot of fucking money m8.

>>1118471

desu i'm not into photography. Just want to take some pictures while i'm there. I could also sell the camera back in NL for profit, since the same model new here costs 750 instead of 400. So i can easily sell it for 650/675.

Vegas, same thing as NY. Have seen it everywhere, heard of it everywhere and actually like casinos.

I just did some calculating. I think a good amount would be 2-3k for Ticket, hotel and car.

KLM non-stop, 1050-1200.
NYC Hotel (expensive as fuck) around 1k
Vegas optional around 500

Maybe i should stop at these two cities? Keep the rest for later?

>>1118488

Actually, two days ago my plan was to just keep it to NYC only. But since i'm already there, i thought why not visit multiple things.

>>1118445
sell ass bruh bruh.

>I'm talking how do you do it? After bills and whatnot, how much do you put away?
Before I started travelling, I saved about $3k/month.

I just didn't go out much, once a week to a pub with mates, had dinner and drinks with them for about $40. Rode my bike everywhere.

Didn't go out much otherwise, maybe the odd party once a month but generally didn't spend much for it.

Is she cosplaying Maria Hill?

>>1118462
3k/month wow. How much money were you making at your job?

Amsterdam is not worth visiting more than a few hours.

>>1118523
Horseshit.
I stayed there for 5 days over New Years 2010/11 with my girl.
Was a magical place. Got fucked up on mushrooms and just walked around the red light district and the canals.

>>1118432
Van Gogh museum is worth it, but it will be busy. Check out the Rijksmuseum too.

>>1117983
you have no escape, can-cunm xel-ha are a grind for gringo´s money;
in the other hand tulum is a prehispanic city that attires a lot of turists, there is nothing to fear there, you´ll see the ruins and retourn to your hotel to be asked for mo´ money

I've been. Beach is incredible (as pictured). It's quite long and most of it fronts onto jungle. You'll probably stay in the town which is quite a ways from the beach. A couple hostels and cheap motels right on the drag or a block off. I'd suggest hitchhiking or renting a bike in town to get back and forth from the beach.

The Tulum archeological site is worth a visit. There's also a pyramid site inland from town (forget name) you can visit by locals bus or tourist bus, but IIRC not really worth it, at least if you're going to go anywhere else (there are better big sites north in Yucatan, in Belize, and in Guatemala).

>>1118163
Really not expensive there. I remember getting a motel room right on the drag for like $15ish, and hostels were similar. Food was cheap and good if you made any effort at all to avoid the most obvious tourist traps.

Start checking on how much it cost to stay in the different countries. Gold mines are countries like martinique which is have dutch and half French. Some times the live real cheap and drive 5 miles and eat real cheap. The smaller places that do not get a lot of tourist but have good areas might be a good catch. Also look at Panama, on the Pacific side. Amd even Columbia can have some real specials near the beach.
Belize would be a good pick if you can get out in the keys. Key Cocker would be a good spot if you can set up something ahead of them. Just remember running water might mean you running down to get it

I've only been to Bermuda of your list, wife and I went by cruise. Was a great deal since the ship stays in pot, all of your meals are paid for on the cruise, see the island at your leisure. If you fly and stay there the price of your trip sky rockets.

That's Sint-Maarten/Saint Martin, my man.

On a beach in Uchinada, Japan. Also like this one from Beijing.

I spend some time with kite fliers when traveling... both of these guys seem to capture the joy of it.
