If you can get to the Isle of Skye it is very beautiful. There is a bridge leading to it from the mainland in the west of Scotland, so you can drive there.
Amazing mountains, cliffs and coasts. Nice drives and hikes.
Other than that there is loads of stuff to see in the Highlands but that's all I know really!
Good luck with the weather anon, hope you enjoy.

If you are looking to stay in b- or c-list cheap rustbelt cities like Detroit with a lot of young people, art, restaurants.

St. Louis
Dense walkable cheap as fuck like 600$ one bedroom in an awesome eighborhood awesome city

Central corridor and south side are safe. North side has high crime. Don't listen to the meia stl crime data is skewed and it is not as dangerous as ppl say. Also only idiots become victims

Is there a few middle ground areas in baltimore? I thought it was either browntown with the vacants or rich honkies

Well, obviously living in Phoenix is going to feel a lot different than living somewhere in rural NM.

If you like /out/ activities, it may be a nice place for you to live. I would take a two or three week trip and "test the waters."

>>1109126
Search for threads on city-data. From what i understand it's beautiful but very isolated and full of obese white tourists half the year.

Phoenix is in Arizona

If you can't afford the sky-high Orlando theme park tickets at their regular price, I recommend not going. The heavyweight theme park resorts here are very slowly turning into places reserved for the rich, through pricing out the middle class. If you're going to be on a budget, you'll be miserable.

Na I've done it all before anyway, it's just since the last time I went tickets have gone up and I've heard they are strict with ticket resellers. Not going on a budget just trying to save where I can.

>>1109948
The only real way to save money without dealing with shady 3rd-party park ticket sellers is to stay at a hotel not on resort property. Even those are still expensive, but at least you'll be able to afford it. Don't go too cheap with the hotel, though. We did that once and we were the only guests that spoke English.

Get comfy in the GOOD quality shoes you plan to walk in.
Have good socks
Carry blister pads
Man the fuck up

>>1108607
coincidentally just heard something on the radio about this yesterday
use the flimsy paper athletic tape. Somebody tested super-marathon runners something like 90% didn't get blisters with the athletic tape

>>1108608
what do you mean by good socks?
>>1108612
I'll make sure to buy some, thkns

I was there last year july/august and it was superb. Just mind the weather, its super hot in there that time, rest of the year should be warm and sunny too.

Its perfect place to visit for you if you like that kind of things and im sure you wont be dissapointed. Cant reccomend much about the food cause i had all inclusive option bought and mosty i ate in hotel.

what you HAVE to see in Malta/Gozo :

Mdina - I reccomend going during the day and in the evening, yopu will see why.

Plenty to see in Valletta only, barraka gardens, harbour, grandmasters palace.. Valletta is one or 2d walking around

Rotunda - a must see church in Mosta, check opening times before going. I remember its closed for 2h sometime during day

Qrendi - archeological stuff. I wasnt interested in it but its highly reccomended to go there if one like that kind of stuff

On gozo - azure window, blue grotto and blue lagoon. Havent been in other places but i know there is plenty to see too, I was just short on time already.

Go to lagoone by having a trip. plenty to choose from, i had and reccomend this one:

Here's the blank template.

Why the hate for Michigan? The areas near Lake Michigan are beautiful and fun. Mackinac is a nice place, and the U. P. is gorgeous.

I'm from Indiana, and it is a definite 'skip' state unless you like the bar scene, in which case Indianapolis is cool.

What did you do in Delaware?

The guy that normally stays in hotels but budget has ran out and therefore has utter disdain and hate for everyone else.

I stayed in a hostel exactly ONCE in my life. I am quite extroverted - but still have srs anxiety issues and just need my own space. The time I stayed in a hostel was studies-related, we were in St Petersburg and our university crammed us into a hostel room. Couldn't sleep, tense all night, hung out in the filthy lobby room where some dirty Kazakhs were having a late-night snack. OH BOY. never again. 4 am, lying awake, I looked for an Airbnb. Found one and pissed off. I swear to God the other people in that class ended up hating me and thought I was the most pompous cunt ever. Lol. I just couldn't deal with their snoring, dirt, and ugh.

The mysterious loner that likes to party, and normally befriends other people akin to him. Also likes to talk world politics with everyone.

You sick fuck

>>1110341
How am I a sick fuck? I want my kids to practice their English with other kids from other countries.

It's a hit or miss.
The kids you host may be extremely shy, some conceited bastards shitholes, borderline hyperactive, just dumbass stupid pieces of down syndrome or the best kids in the world.
And there's also the hit or miss about whether they'll connect with your kids and have a nice interaction.
Some programs, I believe, allow you to choose between some kids (they give you the profile of the brat and you pick one), others may just send you a random one.
It really depends and you should seek information with the program organizers.

no

Yeah that isnt going to hurt their tourist industry at all.. Fucking assholes

Go there and find out.
Worst case scenario, you'll be arrested, charged for illegal possession and rot in an awesome jail with all your expenses paid by citizens of another country that will hate you 4ever and ever.

Don't even worry about it. So long as you're not in France, the trains won't be an issue.

>>1110187

Would I buy my tickets online or wait until I'm already at the train station in Frankfurt?

<<1110190

online might be a safe bet.

You just getting from A to B, r to see stuff along the way?

>>1110012
I want to go to multiple cities in the southwest/west

>>1110013
OK, so firs you have to understand that the US transit system is all built off of the Interstate Highway System -- supplemented with airports, so the best ways o get around the country are by car or plane. If you can't do a car, and what you want is to hit certain cities, look into air travel between cities.

If that doesn't work for you, your choices are bus or train or hitching. Our train system is OK on commuter routes between cities in the NE corridor and I am told along the west coast. Not so much for crossing the country.

Had a very nice few weeks backpacking through. Very friendly open people. Very pleasant hitchhiking. Not a ton of infrastructure. There are no real bus or train lines, only taxies. Interesting roads as well.

I would happily spend the rest of my life there and never look back. Beautiful country, amazing people.

>>1109857
I'm sure the people were very friendly and open to you, but I'm afraid that's only because they wanted your money. Albania is a very backwards country where blood law is still practiced and organized crime is rampant.

"Not a ton of infrastructure" and "interesting roads" are both very shit ways of saying that infrastructure is basically nonexistent.

Overall, it's a nice place to visit if you enjoy nature and hiking and stuff like that, the mountains to the north have some of the most breathtaking views. However, it's not a place you want to stay at for more than a couple of days.

>>1109867
Spent several weeks. Spent little money, was never asked for any. Given much rakia and cigarets.

If your prone to stupidity, you stand a good chance of being killed, or more likely severely beaten and robbed. It is a different world. However, if your not a fucking dipshit you will be fine.

I'm from Paris... for your information, frenchies don't like tourists, it's stupid I know but it's like this. and especially the americans because we don't like the way they think they are the best in everything...

I'm going there on my own in a month for no reason,
think I'll be ok considering I probably hate the french more than they hate me? (canadian here)

What is a good, durable back pack to bring on board a plane? I'm leaving the country for a few months and would like something super nice to bring in board. Good for electronics and such.

Any recommendations?

>>1109697
5.11 Rush 12
really good backpack which you can carry on every plane, even low budget. For few month i think its pretty small exept you want to travel really minimalistic

Rush 24 and 72 are bigger but you cant carry them on every plane...
