This is good advice

Go to Casa Blanca in Sanur. Lots of friendly locals and tourists. Sanur is also safer compared to other places.

Where are you starting from and which general direction would you want to go? I wanted to last year go from LA to Miami, would have been really cool but the issue was that it would cost a lot to rent a car and return it so far away.

I've done roadtrips all over the PNW from Vancouver to San Fran and Reno. Lots of great spots if you want to come out this way. I'll give you some pointers if you are heading this way. My favorite part of the States is Arizona, Nevada, Utah and NM. I've only been there for a short trip but there are a ton of national parks and just spectacular scenery. If you're in NM make sure to visit white sands and carlsbad caverns.

>>1090295
I'm starting in Portland, OR. I figured I'd maybe make a Circle-ish around the US. The biggest place I want to go is actually the southwest US, as I'm most interested in really exploring desert and more nature type of things. Thanks for the NM tips, those sound awesome!

>>1090280
Depends on what you want to see.

If you're into nature and hikes, there's:
-Olympic National Park, Washington
-Glacier National Park, Montana
-Great Sand Dunes Preserve, Colorado
-Garden of the Gods, Colorado
-Watkins Glen, New York
-Zion National Park, Utah

Just to name a few.

nobody?

You won't get into Berghain, don't even try. If you'll only be there with 2, maybe 3 days of free time, then you should just stick to the main attractions that Berlin has to offer because there is quite a lot to see. A quick google search of "Berlin" will show you all that you need to know.

More of Germany is a good choice, before it becomes completely halal. Nürnberg and more of our leader's party grounds.

You won't regret Prague. It already has one of the best castles in the world, looking up at that thing is one of the few times I've ever been taken back.

>>1090157
You have to be over 21, but then you can just buy in cash at any dispensary. Seemed pretty expensive.

Only big legal thing is make sure you don't leave with any. You'll be committing a federal felony the second you cross state lines. Neighboring states police forces know they can make a lot of money arresting people for possession on the wrong side of the border.

>>1090188
So it really is as legal as alcohol is everywhere else? Are there any stupid laws like no sales after a certain time? I assume no using outside

>>1090157
Other anon is right but forgot one pretty important thing. It is still illegal to smoke in public. So unless you have a friend in state that will let you smoke at their house you are pretty much stuck going to one of the marijuana clubs that have popped up

Did the lefty side of South America. Peru -> Ushuaia, Argentina. Spent ~$9000 over 6 months or $50 a day. Worked on a farm in Chile for 1 month through WorkAway.

Pros:
- Nature
- Learning spanish
- Fairly cheap
- Can easily find or avoid backpackers

>>1090070
Nice! Did you have any difficulties with safety while travelling solo?

>>1090083during my travels through south america only Brazil was quite risky. I consider Cuba the most safe

>>1090015
As far as I remember they have underdeveloped railroads in Slovenia and that's why it takes so long. I skipped Trieste during my Eurorail trip because of this.
So yes, this is how it is. You could try and make the best out of it by taking a route over Austria and maybe stopping in Graz or Vienna without losing much time.

Also consider that the major cities in Europe are often connected through overnight trains. I'm pretty sure there's a night train from either Venice or Milan to Vienna.

there should be some eurolines or orangeways buses that are quicker.

Enjoy being scammed and murdered bro !

That's enough time to see almost everything. Your're going to fly into BKK so spend a few days there, then up to Chiang Mai,to include the area North, spend a few dyas in Pattaya from there, just to say you did, then go down to krabi/phuket area to decompress from that. Then hop over to Cambodia for a bit, then maybe check out Isan (Udon Thank probably best for a first time traveler) and Laos (Vientiane, which is not far from Udon Thani), then back to Bangkok to decompress and get ready to go home.

For 9 days I would say either stay in only one place for all of them or stay in 3 or 4 cities for about 2-3 days each. What do you think you'd like the most a Paris, London and Amsterdam vibe or a Budapest, Vienna and Prague one? I believe these are the best two options for this kind of trip. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the replay.

I'm just trying to gauge what might be the best areas to go too.

I'm only 23 and I'll get to go back to Europe so I'll dial down two places that I really want to see.

I'm thinking about scratching Paris. I just put it on the list because I could think of anything after London.

I think the next time I go I will travel East or south
I would like to see Bosnian, Warsaw, and see Barcelona

>Oh look, they have repurposed some old sheet metal to make a home. How quaint.
Probably the same motivation that takes you anywhere else? New experience? People are people.

There you go, mate. I saw one about the slums in Phils. They don't seem to be as dangerous as the favelas, but twice as dirty.

>>1089964
The answer is "real travelers" ie people so obsessed with having a "real" experience by being with "real" people because in their heads only poor people are real yet somehow different from people in their own country

>>1089640
UW student here. Friends at uni's all over the state. What do you wanna know?

Dude you're not going to be able to afford to live up here

>>1090314
Depends on his living situation. I'm paying 710 rent and have a $175 a month food budget. Haven't seen a small studio for less than 1200 tho so good luck if you want to take that route.

Bump. Help me, Africabros.

Why not see the Red Sea from Aqaba in Jordan or Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt? Seems safer and less of a hassle than going to Sudan. I've heard it's a pain getting a Sudanese visa, and Egypt/Jordan have much better infrastructure.

Also isn't South Sudan one of the most dangerous countries in the world right now? It's been in a state of civil war for a few years now. I'd love to go to Ethiopia though.

>Is it worthwhile trying to see Ethipia/South Sudan while I'm in the area?
South Sudan is essentially impossible right now too. There's an ongoing civil war on the border. Ethiopia is doable, the border between Sudan and there is tricky too, though, at times.

I'm planning to go to Iceland with my wife in september. We plan to rent a camper and drive the ring road
Is the weather so bad in september? we live in a tropical country, when it's 10ºC we are freezing... we got some thermal clothes
Is a week enough to drive the ring road?
Is it possible to see the northern lights in early september?
Is it illegal to park the camper on the side the road and sleep in there?

I'll be one week in Iceland, then another week in the Faroe Islands, it's a dream that soon will come true

It can vary week to week. Technically it is shoulder/off season, but you might luck out before November hits. It might be beautiful clear sunny nicely cool 50F days, might be 100% chance of rain, or might be an early start to winter. You pack windproof rain protection, like a waterproof hoodie/shell, on a 3-in-1 but most of your jaunts to the waterfall from the parking lot will be short, very short, 100yards to see the geysirs.
>Is a week enough to drive the ring road?
Just right. But, it's a rush job. 10 days is better for all the natural pacing of it all. If you wish to anchor in Reykjavik and backtrack to it, you can do 2-3 days in either direction very easily, and you'd get to see the South, and the West, and then a day inland, for circle tour stuff.
>Is it possible to see the northern lights in early september?
Absolutely. It's predicted 3 days in advance (earths distance to the sun), and they simply monitor solar storms. The rest of it all is clouds. But, nothing like the horizon to horizon vista of seeing it. It'll be dark bout 10PM and it will be windy and cold. Like think sustained 30mph, so if you want great viewing, have layers.
>Is it illegal to park the camper on the side the road and sleep in there?
I don't honestly dont know. They have campgrounds in the West, but they might close at August end. Iceland kind of shuts down like buses and going out to the country at the beginning of school, and something like 90% of the people live in the city. The country hotels become dorms for schools again. Big switcharoo.

What sort of dumb fuck question is this? What sort of dim witted cock breath are you?
You need to learn everything, you fucking wanker. Living in Japan is like living on Mars, it's so different to the rest of the world. Do the Japanese a favour and stay at home and suckle on mummy's breast. The place don't need a worthless fuck knuckle like you.

You should learn everything you can about a country you're going to live in no matter what country it is. So to answer your question, you're damn right there's "something" you need to learn while there. There's many things. It's the same as anywhere.

>>1090254
While I agree with your general sentiment towards OP, what's with this bollocks--
>Living in Japan is like living on Mars, it's so different to the rest of the world.

Since when is it, "The entire rest of the world is this way, Japan is another way". Japan is much different from European Christendom, but shares many similarities with other east Asian countries, particularly in the Sinosphere. Japan has very unique culture and does feel like no where else in the world in many ways, but the same could be said about many other countries too. All countries are unique in a way. As someone who has spent a fair amount of time in Japan, I just get so triggered anytime the "Japan-is-magic-moon-land-neon-robots-different-planet-muh-anime-crazy-perverted-schoolgirls" meme is projected. It's so tiring.

Agreed 100%. Problem is though, the Japanese themselves love to project this meme. Muh Galapagos.
