This is a cool and cheap city with great neighborhoods and history. Architecture is amazing and virtually all tourist attractions are free or cheap. Good Baseball team if you are in to that. 2nd best zoo in america and its FREE, all Museaums are FREE. Beer and food is cheap and great stl style food, BBQ, Pizza, Toasted Ravioli, good craft beers. Add STL to your next cross country road trip or as a destination. Gateway arch is undergoing a massive renovation, central west end is named one of the best neighborhoods in america, delmar loop named best commercial district, forest park named best public space (which also hosted the 1904 worlds fair, and now all free attractions meuseams, zoo, etc) Soulard neighborhood is historic/cool and is about to host Mardi Gras (2nd best in america just after NOLA)

That's more than enough money to go to one or more less expensive countries. What are you interested in?
I still don't understand how kids have so much money. I had a couple hundred of bucks when I graduated college.
Hi guys, im planning to take the Amtrak Crescent line in April from New Orleans to Atlanta where i will get to meet my fiancee's family.
So we are making the trip but would love to save as much as possible, therefore, we are taking the coach seats, and hoping we can have a lot of fun and adventures on this trip.
What advice can you give me, what can you tell me about the amtrak trains, this particular route, etc.
An tips welcome. Also you are welcome to discuss this route, or this kind of trains.
I've never been on a long distance Amtrak but I'm posting because I'm hoping to go on the California Zephyr this summer and wondering if /trv/ had any advice as well.
I have heard though that Amtrak in the south is pretty boring in terms of scenery.
Just fly you fedora toting faggot.
Amtrak is expensive, slow, and pointless. You're not going to be sitting there reading the paper and smoking a pipe like weird fantasy you've undoubtedly built up in your head. You're going to be watching hours of fields and swamps go by while you tap at your phone.
Gas is cheap as hell. Just drive. Honestly, who takes the train in America?
How is a British person like?, I'm very interested about the culture of the U.K, thank you so much for the answers, if there's any.
Some are great. Others are total assholes. Much like the rest of humanity.
>>1076376
British culture is dying because they let in too many brown people. Soon they will kick out the non whites and return to a great nation.
So a British person is sick of non whites in their country
Most are decent people but there are a few types to avoid like chavs and kippers. There are comparatively few of these cunts about but they're the ones that like to make the most noise, they tend to have no qualifacations past GCSE level (or O-Level in the case of most kippers because only the very wierd ones are under 50).
If you hear anybody whittering on about the EU as if it was the most important thing in their lives run a mile and find a nice tea shop or you run the risk of being bored to death by misinformed bullshit about "Eurocrats", straight bananas and imperial measurements being more important than things like the NHS, poverty or taxes.
Hello,
How long before the flight should I look for tickets. I look at Skyscanner for tickets.im June and it barely finds any, not to mention the prices it finds are kinda high.
>>1076348
Experiment with different dates, one week from now, two, three, etc. See how the prices change. Find a sweet spot and book your tickets then.
>>1076375
Thanks. Problem is that for some reason I can't find ANY tickets

Hey /trv/, I'm a first time traveler so I'm a little nervous and was hoping you guys could help me out. The questions I'm asking I've already tried with google and have gotten pretty general answers or can't find specific answers for, so I was hoping you guys could help me out. I'm just a little nervous because this is only my second time flying (first time was to basic training where everything was taken care of for us) and it's overseas.
Anyways, I'm flying from the US out to the netherlands with a 1hr30m layover in frankfurt.
One of the main things I'm wondering is what I can take in a checked bag. I know this seems pretty simple but google gives me mixed answers. I'm staying for 8 days so I'd like to fit in entire containers of shampoo/bodywash, but I'm afraid the liquid rule that applies to carry ons could apply to checked baggage. I'd also like to take some advil and vitamins, but I'm nervous that they could be considered drugs and cause a delay in me getting my baggage or something. I really can't find definite answers on either of these so if you guys could help me out from experience that'd be great.
This probably sounds like a stupid question too, but when my plane lands for my layover in frankfurt, do I get my checked baggage then head over to my next flight, or is it already transferred over to the next flight for me? Also is a one and a half hour layover enough time? There was shorter and longer layovers but I didn't want to go too short and miss my flight or go too long and wait all that extra time for nothing.
Are flights losing luggage still a thing? I've heard of it but i'm not sure how often that happens. What do you do if it happens? (the airport i'm landing in is about a 3 hour ride from where i'm staying so it isn't like itd be easy to go back and get something left behind)
Any tips for packing a carry on bag? I have a pretty good sized "tactical" backpack that I was just planning to put some extra stuff in like my laptop. (cont.)
but can you access your carry on during the flight if you need to get something out of it? Or is it once it's up in the compartment it isn't moving?
Honestly the main thing I guess I'm concerned about is the baggage and packing something wrong/not permitted and causing it to delay me or something. Any overall tips for traveling/flying, especially overseas is appreciated. I'm pretty nervous since it's my first time out of country.
>>1076339
>Checked bag
Shampoo and Bodywash in a checked bag have never been a problem on any flight I've been on in the EU, UK or the US. Neither were advil or vitamins.
>Transferring checked baggage
Is done for you. You can't even access it unless you've booked actual separate flights. With layovers it's all taken care of.
>Flights losing luggage
Yes, still a thing. But extremely rare and when it happens usually take care of very quickly. Don't worry about it. Your suitcases are individually labelled with codes and you also receive a baggage claim tag with the same number (which you don't need to claim it, only when you get lost).
>carry on
Book, tablet, laptop is fine. Just no sharp objects or liquids. You will be asked to take laptops and tablets out at security. It's standard procedure. They just need to be in a separate tray for a few minutes. It's in the overhead compartment and you can take it out if you want. Don't do it *too* often though because it's fucking annoying for your fellow passengers.
Also, be sure to check the allowed dimensions of your carry-on luggage with your airline. They're usually lenient about it, but just be safe.
You'll be fine. It's mostly just boring.
Now. The reason I actually replied to this thread - any plans for The Netherlands yet? Where are you staying? What are you going to see? What are you interested in?
Ps.
Even when you have something on you that isn't allowed there usually isn't a problem. I once had trouble at a layover in London on a flight from Seattle to Amsterdam. I had a jar of jam in my backpack that I bought at Seattle Airport and it wasn't sealed. So London security picked me out and asked about it. I just explained and it was all fine. They did take the jar of jam though.
In an airport in Greece my girlfriend and I were stopped at security because she had a butter knife in her purse. Honest mistake - she had taken it to work and when she took it back she forgot to take it out. When we explained we could even take it on the plane with us. It wasn't sharp anyway. And that was 2013, so not even that long ago.
And we also usually carry gum or even aspirine on the plane as well.
Anyone else here hates 'semi-permanent residents' at hostels?
I feel like they kill the atmosphere really. They're just there, supposedly travelling, but in actual fact just sitting there all day only entertaining the folks they know and not really engaging with the people.
Have had it many times now when I travel around and they suck the air out of the room. It's like you visit a workplace and you're the client and they're the staff.
>>1076314
>only entertaining the folks they know and not really engaging with the people.
Staying in a hostel for companionship is kind of sad in the first place. I think you should stop hoping other people entertain you on your travels. Travel with friends/family you know and get a hotel, or at least get out of the hostel and do things of your own accord.
>>1076318
Why is that 'sad'? Hostels are organized that way, to meet up with fellow travellers. They have common rooms for that specific reason.
I hate people who stay at hostels, period. Especially the type that apparently believes they are entitled to an extremely specific, carefully preconceived experience for 15 bucks a night and have the gall to become indignant when things don't work out as demanded.
Have you considered suicide, op?
You see on the internet all the time in articles and impressions from travelers that it is relatively inexpensive to travel most places around the world.
Can someone experienced travelers confirm whether this is true or not?
I, like many people, have never internationally traveled because I always assumed it was expensive. Thousands for a plane ticket and hundreds to eat and just do basic activities within the culture. I'm aware that you can travel to many places around the world on the cheap. But there is a huge difference between "traveling" and "vacationing". What I want to do is more similar to "vacation". In the few weeks that I'm at a location, I want to experience the culture as if I was a middle class citizen who lived there. I don't want to be restricted by living in a hostel or couchsurfing with a family of random people. I don't want to just "visit" places, I want to enjoy them.
It's hard to explain what I'm talking about but imagine the costs here in America if you lived in a big city and just wanted to have a fun night out on the town. Maybe visit a a decent restaurant, attend a sports game, go to a bar, see a movie, etc. This isn't something someone who has no money can do. Even a middle class person doing well for themselves with good full time job in the US only can afford to do these activities maybe once a week.
This is what I want to do, but in the context of another county. I want to go to a place like Sydney or Nice, learn about the culture first hand and experience what people do for leisure in their culture.
cont. on next post
2/2
Basically, what I'm asking is whether my idea of travel is similar to what people say when they claim "international travel is so cheap! It's so easy to visit anywhere you want in the world on a dime?". Or do they mean "You can travel internationally with barely any money, as long as you pinch every penny by flying at 3am in the morning on a shady airline, couch surfing with strangers so you don't have to pay rent or meals, eating meat and cheese sandwiches 3 meals a day with water and only doing activities that don't cost money like visiting landmarks, going on hikes, etc.
>>1076157
the latter. it's only "cheap' if you're quite wealthy to begin with.
The impression I get from /trv/ is of a bunch of penny-pinching NEETs who are losers in their own country but expect to be worshiped as exotic and intriguing species when they travel abroad. Hence all the questions about fucking Asian ladyboys and which country has the easiest girls.
Then you have the meme-tier posts about "how can I earn money while traveling" where the insufferable ESL autists and delusional blogger faggots like to chime in with their wisdom. Funny how they're always on 4chan on a Saturday night instead of enjoying the superior culture they claim to be enjoying.
There are many other travel discussion boards online where grown adults with jobs discuss how to game the flyer miles system and earn free nights in luxurious hotels. Anyone who pretends that staying in a dirty hostel out in the nigger-infested Bronx with a bunch Real Traveler TM stereotypes complete with dreadlocks over a night in a high-rise Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan is kidding themselves basically.
I'm going to Iran for 9 days. Anyone been there? Do you have any tips? Any important shit to know before going there? Any off the beaten track places to go? Thanks bros!
I'm assuming you're not an American, or you have family in Iran or something.
If that's not the case I know for a fact you can only travel in Iran with a state sanctioned guide. So wherever he takes you is where you're going. Have fun.
>>1076150
Same rules apply to Canadians and Brits btw.
I'm Czech, so I don't have to use the guide.

This evening i found this video with some "classical" iranian music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv_iUYV9uIg
It's mostly just a guitarist playing and some singers joining in later on. But it got me interested and i want to know about the security of travelling in near east. Can someone give me a resource i could read up regarding travelling in near east? Pictures of Teheran with the Damavand in the background are really fascinating.
>>1076051
I've never been to Iran but everyone who has gets super passionate about what a great place it is, and super pissed at any ideas to the contrary.
And I do mean everyone; I don't think it's possible to find a single negative review of travel to Iran. Even Rick Steves loved it.
And Iran's in the Middle East.
I've been to Iran. Loved it. You should go, everyone should go. But I hope you're not American, OP. Americans need guides accompanying them.
I brought the lonely planet phrasebook with me. Really helped me out a lot.
If you have any questions just ask.
>>1076096
I'm just worried about its security. I'm probably wrong tho, i just looked at the map again and realised iraq is inbetween iran and syria so it's probably not any more dangerous than visiting turkey or egypt
can you name some places to go? just some names i can throw at google
Okay so I decided I want to move to a ski town next season to focus on riding for a while. I never moved out of state and I'm curious about which resort out west would be the best for me to look into. I have experience waiting tables so finding a job shouldn't be a problem, but I'm trying not to break the bank while moving out there. Preferable I would like to live in a actual town at the base of the mouton, do you guys have any advice for me?
I worked ski patrol two seasons at a resort on Mt. Hood in oregon. I'll tell you right off the bat, if you're looking for a big mountain with lots of terrain and great snow this probably isn't the place for you. However if you're a park rat the crews up here keep the parks well maintained and switch it up often.
There's 3 main hills up here. Skibowl is the smallest but it's right in town and has the most night time terrain in the country. Timberline is a little further up the mountain, lots of good parks but a little flat. Skibowl and Timberline are sister resorts and if you buy a season pass it's good for both places. There's also Meadows, if the steepest and has the best terrain l but it's also the most expensive and get stupid busy on the weekends, I don't ever go there.
Government camp is the name of the town. It's a resort town first and foremost so it's not exactly cheap but you can find a bedroom to rent for $400-500 a month. If you don't have a car you everyone hitch hikes on hwy 26 around there and you can usually get a ride within a few minutes. There's even a trail down from Timberline into government camp and you can just ski right into town(if the snow pack is good enough).
If you have a car I'd suggest renting further down the mountain it's just cheaper and you can still get up the resorts in 15-20 mins.
That's just one place though, we're not the Rockies, we don't have world class riding, but we certainly are cheaper then those places. I'd look into the Montana as well. There's some awesome skiing out there too at some of the smaller resorts.
I'm always browsing, feel free to ask questions if you have any.
>>1076003
>Montana
This if you want great skiing without being too expensive. Bozeman is awesome because it's very cheap to live there and it's not super small. Plus there's tons of other shit to do when it's not winter. It's not right at the base of a mountain, but you're less than 30 minutes away from Bridger Bowl. And you've got Big Sky (better skiing) about an hour away. Big Sky is a nice place to live but it's much more expensive. However I have some ski bum friends that live up there, so it's definitely possible.
You're probably going to have to choose between world class skiing and being cheap. Don't think you can have both unless you're willing to live outside of the resort town. What else do you value in a place to live?
Look at Boise and Bogus Basin. There's better ski hills, but you get to live in a cheap college town, with good skiing 20 miles away.
I heard you guys know a thing or two about countries and stuff, so I'll just ask away.
I live in the prosperous land of Croatia, and I would like to attend university elsewhere in Europe.
Now seriously, I want to become independent and live by myself, but the problem is, you guessed it, money. Croatia is pretty corrupt regarding well, everything, including the universities, so I'd like to move.
Now, with all the religious crap going down in the Europe, where could I move and actually get some financial aid during my studies, to pay for the rent, school food and whatever else is needed?
First I thought Sweden, but soon after I backed the fuck out since I learned that the only people Swedes hate more than themselves, are the people from Balkans.
Next I thought Germany, but then again they have the same thing going on as Sweden.
Switzerland is too expensive unfortunately, and they also don't accept Crotards.
What about Austria? Are they screwed like the Germans and Swedes?
I'm sorry if I come off as ignorant or whatever you guys wish to call it, I'm not really all that well familiar with current situations in those countries desu and I think I might be over-exaggerating, and please correct me if I amt to be, so help me out here. I . I'm not a cunt like most people from the Balkans come oupromise I will adapt.
(also the reason I'm naming German speaking countries is because the only language I will soon be able to speak aside from English, is German)
>>1075784
>Next I thought Germany, but then again they have the same thing going on as Sweden.
Stop reading so much /int/, basement dweller. DAAD is fairly generous if you reach a certain level of German. No one has anything about Balkans people, bro, as long as you're not muslim. And no, Germany is not as bad as Sweden, by far.
I'd avoid Austria only because it's so small. You've got Vienna, and... Graz? Salzburg? Honestly, there's not much going on in the Austrian boondocks... People there do tend to be a bit more conservative and insular-minded. That's good for your /pol/-mindedness, maybe, but not when YOU are the foreigner.
>>1075784
Also, the uni in that picture... Viadrina. Don't do it.
>and I would like to attend university elsewhere in Europe
Unless you get a scholarship or do some form of student exchange, which naturally requires straight A's and shit, you need to be pretty wealthy to do this. Which i know you aren't, fellow croatian
Do you know the language? Did you consider specific universities? Which ones? Or do you just plan to throw a fucking dart on the map?
Your school ends in 5 months, and you need to know this shit well in advance.
Why don't you go to Germany, if you know german like you said, and get a job, then look for a college there? That's what my friend did, but in London.
And like said, stop reading so much /int/ and /pol/ faggot.
Sretno pederu
I'm thinking of going to Amsterdam to visit the Anne Frank House, but I don't speak a lick of Dutch. Am I fucked as soon as I leave the plane? Does the museum have an english tour?
jesus dude do some research next time.
pretty much everyone in the netherlands speaks english youll be fine
