Anyone been here?
Apparently you don't even need a visa to go there and get a 15 day entry stamp on arrival.

It's safe inside KRG unlike other parts of iraq, especially in cities from what I read

Spent a week there, pretty boring to be honest. Kirkuk was exciting, but not at all safe so I don't recommend it.

pro tip: never mention an interest in travel on a resume or in a job interview
just learned about this the hard way

tell your story next time rather than just making us guess at what happened
>>
>>1072540
well there isn't really much of a story to tell, I'm just giving a simple caution
travel was on my resume as an interest, and I was bombarded with questions about ow long I was planning to stay in the position, whether I would request time off, whether I was committed to the role.
mentioning I traveled in an islamic country provoked a visibly poor response as well
I found it rude and offensive, but it's something that must be expected to some degree
>>
>>1072544
If you don't request do you never have time off?

Me and two friends wish to travel to Germany in March for a week. All three are 20-25 .
Our current plan stands at 4 nights at Berlin, 3 nights at Hamburg and one day at Kiel.
We wanted to visit one of us' relatives that lives in Kiel.
We contracted them and they told about the current situation in Germany not being... well.. safe.
We received a lot of stories about rape, murder and other kinds of violence.
I made a quick check (google), and got a nice result. pic related.
Any chance someone who lives there can share a little bit of opinion on the situation there?
Also, while i'm at it - our plan is as follows:
Berlin to Hamburg by train.
Hamburg to Kiel by Rental Car.
Any comment on our choice?
Anyone knows the price range, especially for the rental?
My google pages turned pink yet again searching for an answer.

How many news about an American who got shot do you read a day?
How many times did you get shot?
Apply the same principle to getting raped in Germany.

I spend hours looking at the most remote places in Africa (most often the west coast) and I just want to hear from people who have been to the most remote places on the continent.
What did you see and do, what were the people like, where were you and what made you go there ??
Thanks all !!

Spent a lot of time in Mozambique for work. Met up with a lot of friends way out in the bush as well. Every city has it's own day throughot the year with a big celebration, which were always fun as well.
People there are great, if you're fine with doing things the local style it can be cheap as fuck (Hitching rides of around 1000km for about $3, and the driver will usually offered snacks)
>>
>>1078266
DRC and Sahara are last remote places.

This is what Lonely Planet has to say about the Central African Republic: "The lack of development has left large swathes of lush rainforest, which still teem with wildlife, including thousands of gorillas and elephants. Travellers can float among wild rivers into an Africa that the world thought no longer existed. As rich life looms in its darkest jungles, warmth, generosity, and pride steadfastly survive in the hearts of its people. CAR is Africa at its most raw."

Not true at all.

How do you keep in contact with the people you meet in hostals? Last summer i added like 50 people on fb and only talked to 4-5?????

Delete the ones I don't keep in touch with unless they're interesting enough/I know I'm headed to their town/city one day. Nowadays though, I only really grab the contact info of people I care to be in touch with.
And I stay away from the obvious networkers
>>
>>1078185
I don't keep contact.
First year of traveling it was "OH MY GOD LETS BE FRIENDS FOREVER ILL VISIT YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY". Second year it was "yeah add me, we'll keep in touch, i'll let you know if Im near you".
Now I just politely ask them to add me, and don't accept the friend request unless I'm sure I'll see them again this particular trip.
>>
>>1078185
Yeah, in my experience people don't really keep in touch with people they meet in hostels. I'll accept people who add me on Facebook and gladly see how they're getting on, but there's no point trying to stay friends with someone you probably won't ever see again. There's a few people who I might hit up for a drink if I went to their home cities, but that's about as far as it goes.

I will be spending summer 2016 in Kyrgyzstan learning Russian, and this will end 10 days before university starts again. Where should I fly to while I'm on that side of the globe? The only limitation I have is that I can't take multiple flights (like visiting 5 cities in a short span of time). At the most I can visit 2 cities (like Istanbul and Rome, for example).
What is the best place to go? I can stay in Kyrgyzstan and just see various tourism destinations in the country, which include skiing, trekking, and visiting bazaars.

You could pop into Tajikistan or Uzbekistan. It would definitely boost your RealTaveler™ rating.

Well worth going into Uzbekistan, and specifically to Samarkand, which is breathtaking, full of amazing historic sites. Bukhara and Khiva maybe also too.

Are those areas safe for Americans? Uzbekistan isn't that stable right?

I have an assignment for class where I have to "pretend I'm visiting from another country" for the weekend and to describe what the Superbowl is like
What country?
I'm leaning Russia. Partially because I have a shitton of vodka here to get into character

Lol, American self-importance never ceases to amaze me.
It's a bunch of fat people drinking and painting their faces while watching a bunch of fat people in spandex collide into one another with frequent breaks. Get over yourselves, nobody from outside the US has an opinion or "take" on it because they literally don't care.

I've perfected Japanese and effectively learned Khanji. I've done research but I would rather hear from personal experiences. I would like questions like this answered. Is job availability common? Is finding a clean and affordable place to live easy. All anons provide me with answers and tips.

Ahahahaha you're a stupid fucking weeaboo. Know that unless you happen to look completely japanese you'll be treated like a nigger. Understanding Japanese just means you'll hear all the shit they talk about you.
You won't be able to "fit in" and your only friends will be other weeaboos and believe me they are all betas outcasts.
Obviously you can't be dissuaded by common sense so fuck off to the Japan general, hopefully they can talk you out of the biggest mistake you'll make.

Where should my gf and I go for the one week of spring break? We are white Americans in our early 20s and, though adventurous, would like to stay safe (which means we would like to not be stuck on a beach resort the entire time, we'd like to get out and enjoy some local culture without being tourist-y while remaining safe).
We are both /lit/ and into the arts.
We have free guest passes for SW airlines, so if you want to look at their potential destinations you can. This is what limits us most.
Otherwise we have narrowed it down to the following, which are all places neither of us have been:
Seattle: A major pro is that we have friends that live on Pike, so we have a free place to stay. Not at all worried about safety for this one, obviously.
Mexico City
Jamaica (Probably Negril and possibly a trip to Kingston, but open to other suggestions)
Costa Rica (We'd like to see the rainforest above all else here)
What can you tell us that will persuade us to visit one place over another?
Side note: We live in Milwaukee, and have never been to the east coast either. Boston interests me, but if we stay in the US we'd go to Seattle to visit our friend that moved out there 6 months ago. I also have a cousin that I'm close with but don't see often that lives out there.

So /trv/ I am going to do driving lessons and my test at some point in the near future. I am from the UK and want to do the test in an automatic car. If I do this then I will only have my license to drive automatics.
I plan on doing a lot of travelling to some far-flung places in the future and would like to have the option of hiring cars in said places.
Now my question is to those of you who have hired cars around the world, are there usually f automatic cars available for hire in most places in the world? Or am I severley limiting my choice in the future and should do my test in a manual?
My reason for doing it in an automatic is that I am shit with the gears, and much more comfortable driving in an automatic.

The only place that I have seen automatic cars as standard for rent was in the US. You'll probably have to pay a lot extra if you want an automatic car anywhere else but they should have some automatic cars in the lot.
>>
>>1078420
Israel rents mostly automatics. Otherwise, yeah, manual shift as the standard everywhere.
Just do a proper license for manual shift OP. It's not hard at all. It might feel complicated at first, but it'll quickly become second nature.
>>
>>1078425
There really isn't any reason not to do your test in a normal car. Especially if you are in Europe.
