Id visit before moving. Ive been there and i like it but its not for everyone

If you speak Spanish you'll love Miami or Tampa

St. Pete/Clearwater is nicer, cleaner and cheaper

How is the job market?

Well my dad pretty much lived most of his life like that, because of his job.

I don't know what's your exact reason, but first, try to sign up with a loyalty/reward program.
You'll get free nights at 5 star hotels quite easily.

I lived in a hotel for 4 years during my childhood. This inspired me to take up tourism as my career bc we lived in a Caribbean hotel. I loved that hotel so I want to take up a job at a hotel and live in one bc I loved the atmosphere

why not airbnb instead?

you can have a kitchen, that's nice

>Where can I go as a solo traveler?
Everywhere. The world is your oyster, italianon.

I think cities with big metro systems are best for a single traveller.

Or maybe its just me and my hatred of riding the bus

Amsterdam/Netherlands

Good transport system; people are friendly, helpful and speak English

>>1109572
If you speak as you write you'll definitely do more than fine. Unless you go to deep Andalucía or Galicia

>>1109572
Spain is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The tourist sector is full of English speakers. You'll be fine.

Si

Stop being autistic.

I admit, it annoys me when people critique how a whole country is, or how it's people are, after only ever going to the tourist areas.

As somebody who lived in the US for a year, I honestly don't think most US cities are that different.

I thought all Americans I met were friendly enough to foreigners and didn't notice any huge cultural differences

Uh........yeah, good luck with that.

>My next stupid plan is to go to Asia (China or Japan, maybe Cambodia/Vietnam) and find a "White guy job"

Well, you're right about one thing -- it is a stupid plan. "White guy jobs," as you call them, disappeared a long, long time ago (and when they did exist, they were extremely rare). Fake businessmen get beaten up and/or put in jail, fake teachers get fired very quickly, and nobody pays men for sex except for desperate gay men. IOW, enjoy your AIDS.

>white

Good for you OP and post about your experiences here from time to time. Also, don't get killed like that guy who moved to rural Vietnam.

>>1109329
Fairbanks or Anchorage? I'm in Fairbanks, if you want to smoke out, I'm going to the airport to pick up my friend Boe at 11:30

>>1109329
Wow never saw a line in Anchorage, even at TSA... interesting. Must be fairbanks?

Anyway, have fun OP. Get yourself a 4WD, and befriend some dudes to take you fishing for some salmon, halibut, hunting, flying and all the goodness that is Alaskan summers.

If you just want to live somewhere cheap? I had eyed some pretty places for sale in Seldovia last visit that were gorgeous!! I just live too far for a vacation home there.

It's safe, but stay away from crowded beaches.

Several European countries recommend NOT going there unless it's for some urgent matter.

Right now Kurds are pretty pissed, and it's also where Western ISIS recruits transit through. Pretty much not the right moment to go.

>>1109270
Who the fuck gives a shit what any country thinks? It's all politics anyway. And I'm curious which countries would actually recommend "not going".
>>1109269
What?
>>1109267
Turkey is 100% safe. I didn't know it was a big interrailing country though, as most people use busses or fly from city to city. Are you planning to do the route to Tatvan/Van? If so, I can only recommend the Van lake and the wider region. Incredible scenery.

The beach is the nicest thing there. Clubbing is great, Ocean Drive is a bit obnoxious though.

Following thread. Planning a trip myself. How do I find a hotel?

>Following thread. Planning a trip myself. How do I find a hotel?
The usual, from airbnb to halfprice to tripadvisor. Just decide if you are going to drive around (you should), and then pick your neighborhood based on what is convenient for the drive or not drive plan.

OP, as far as Mia Bch is concerned, lincoln road is your central spot really. Use the "New Times" on all the restaurant and store newstands to know what is going on where on any night. Use yelp or eater or thrillist to rate your restaurants. Miami has always had the highest per capita phone use, and techies like those sites and use them well.

back in the day there used to be lockers in grand central.
this no longer exists because terrorists win and nyc is a police state.
the only places that do this that i know of are outside the baseball stadiums (not near central park) and only right before and during games.

i dunno
google "goddam locker near central fucking park" and you might have something

Found it on google in 3 seconds

I ended up getting a free ticket to MoMA through a friend and checked my bags there.

So are you in the Marines or the Navy? Just curious. A better question would probably be what are you in to? Where are you from? Can better give suggestions that mirror your interests

>>1109089
In the Marines, from California, I like hiking, going to the beach and sight seeing,wouldn't mind jazz clubs or live concerts

>>1109090
Marine here as well. Well you can get some hiking, but be forewarned, it won't be the hills you are used to in California. There are some good trails on base, and plenty through the Croatian National Forest, including the 20 mile Neusiok Trail. I will post more when I transition from a mobile device.

bumping for interest

I'm from the Balkans. I can't answer your questions right now as I am not home but I'll get to you when I can.

This time last year I took a trip starting in Central Europe and travelling through the Balkans as far as Montenegro. It wasn't a road trip as such because I didn't have a car, but I did travel by bus so maybe there are some similar aspects. It'll be easier for me to answer specific questions based on that, but I'll try to give some answers to the general questions you listed.

My favourite places were Plitvice Lakes in Croatia and Lake Bled and the Vintgar Gorge in Slovenia. Both really beautiful, if a little bit touristy. I regret not going a bit further into the Julian Alps and exploring Bohinj National Park, as it looked just as beautiful but way less busy. Had no major inconveniences at all, everything ran very smoothly. Making sure you have a general plan in advance (leaving room for flexibility, depending on the people you meet) is a good idea in my opinoin. Do a little bit of research to plan for some places to visit, and also go with the flow and allow other people to show you places.

Get gonnorea from slags

Go watch Newcastle United get relegated

>>1109022
I'm from Newcastle, so feel free to ask away. The nightlife is very good, and there are lots of great pubs. The area of the river is really pretty, with some nice bridges and some of the architecture in the centre is nice, especially on Grey Street. If it's your thing, there's an art gallery called The Baltic which has a lot of modern stuff (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's shit, but it's worth a visit). What else do you like, or what else would you like to know?

Totally.

>>1108968
How did you do it? backpack or suitcase?

>>1108967
I can easily fit two weeks worth of clothing into carry on. If I am staying longer than that then I could easily find somewhere to do laundry

inb4 LA hate.

Santa Barbara is much smaller than Los Angeles. If I were you, I'd go to Los Angeles to get a bigger taste of the US. There much more landmarks to visit there.

I'd do the Bay Area
San Francisco to be exact
