Nope, ISIL.
Too dangerous.

Should be absolutely beautiful. But there is WAY too big a risk to accidentally go on a "star in your own beheading video" excursion.

I don't know how other people feel about this, but for me personally the entire middle east and North Africa are an absolute no-go travel-wise at the moment.

Jordan is easing visa restrictions, bolstering security for tourist spots and obviously prices are shooting down. Realistically if you're government is letting you fly to a country the you should be alright. Even when a country is in difficulty, road blocks will stop you from entering the hot areas..

Nah I was just in parts of Afghanistan that weren't extremely terrible. But the terrible parts would be up there. I'd say anywhere in ISIS territory, most militant groups are prepared to hold you for extended periods while bargaining, but those dudes seem to be all about the video production.

Some places in the USA and in Sweden are pretty ghetto

>>1074567
Burundi is pretty dangerous at the moment. Northern Nigeria as well as al shabab parts of kenya. maybe chad and niger as well.

such a meme destination

whats fags obsession with this shithole

>>1073880
I really like war stuff. It'd be a shame to be next to it and not go.

>>1073877
Should I visit northern vietnam, or stick to a couple of days in ho chi min and depart for cambodia?

I realized I have very little time.

>>1072341
weaboo fag with an impossible dream. prices are sky high and the wages are low but you already knew that.

>>1072341
Its not gonna happen buddy tell your weeb-trash friend to end him self

>>1072342
He's currently working here and saving money he's wants to get $6000 and live in japan for a month. He wouldn't last a week there with that little money right?

Honestly, if you plan on traveling far, you might as well just go to the USA.

There's just so much more to do, things to see etc.

I'd just take a plane and fly to the east coast if you want to go there. Theres not much to see once you get past alberta until you get to Ontario

>>1071562
this

Unless you are particularly interested in the prairies, I'd just skip on by and fly to Toronto, then train/drive ON-QC-NB-NS or wherever it is in particular you wanted to go.

Dude either you want to go or you don't. It will be an adventure and there will be hardship. If you're not ready to throw yourself to the world then do what the rest of us do and wither away at an office job.

Either way you're never gonna get out of it alive.

Friend of mine got licensed to teach English through TEFL or TESL or something, moved there with a job and housing already. There are lots of programs like that out there.

>>1074562
A condo in BKK isn't all that expensive actually. You could definitely live there for a few years if you have some spare cash. You just need a job and to work out what you're doing visa wise for all that time.

I'm curios too. Thought about Amsterdam-Hague-Antwerp-Bruges, Ghent, Brussels, and maybe Rotterdam?

>>1073048
Well, it is only a 9 day trip so we don't want to visit more than 4 places. We are considering Ghent and Brussels tho.

>>1073049
Just throwing out options and also asking people for my own sake at the same time.

If you put a gun to my head and said choose 4, i guess i would say amsterdam, bruges, brussels and ghent. 5th would be hague. Never been to any though, just based on my own research and wgat interests me

Help me add some stuff to my Japan section of my bucket list. Any temples that I should go to specifically? Any touristy places on the list I should avoid? Thanks in advance

>>1071418
Is there any true way for me to join the Yakuza?
That's always added as meme topic, but I am interested desu

What are some adrenaline pumping experiences that one can seek out while in Japan? Take that however you want it to mean.

Protip: contact the people behind
>vakantiepiraten nl
>vliegdeals be
>travelunlimited be

They know their shit and will answer personal questions. May save you a couple hundred euro because they're better at finding cheap tickets than we are.

Also, best time of your life to travel desu. Do it.

>>1074537
A friend of mine suggest AirCanada, should be cheapest he said..
Will check out the links thanks!

Are you talking about Euros, or Dollars? Vancouver on $20 a day isn't going to be very good, especially in February or April. What part of town does your friend live in? If they're a student, they might be busy in April with finals

Vancouver is a ok city, in a setting that's great for the 4-5 months of summer. If you're going to go, pick April. There could easily be 20 days of rain in February, but you're probably used to that.

Unless you're friend is buying you stuff, you wont get to do very much. There's a lot of asian restaurants, tourists seem to like those. There's a lot of asians in general, but you'll probably find them easier to live with than arabs.

If you like weed, April 20th is a big deal in Vancouver.

And if you're not interested in coming with me, any tips you might think of would also be greatly appreciated.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not planning on living with wolves. I mean if they're friendly enough and they offer me the scraps of a deer carcass it would be rude to turn it down, but I'm not going to be actively looking for them.

bump.

I suggest killing yourself desu senpai

I think about this a lot. I'd skip Russia if I did it. I'd go through Turkey instead, through Georgia and Azerbaijan and take a boat across the Black Sea. The Azerbaijani visa is apparently a motherfucker but on a bike you could probably do the country quickly with an easy transit visa. Once across the Caspian I'd land in Kazakhstan. As an American I can travel through Kazakhistan visa-free. Then I'd see Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan before entering China (which is another pain in the ass visa-wise, I dunno why you're singling out Russia)

French for North Africa
English for Europe
English and Spanish for the Americas

>>1072321
I thought so, thanks for the fast reply.

Yeah there's no clean answer to this question, OP. I would argue French for two reasons: it's the co-official language of 29 countries, and it's widely understood in many more (the only meaningful conversation I had with any locals in Vietnam was in French, not English).
Second reason is that it gives you a toehold onto Romance languages in general, and Spanish of course is the other most widely spoken language. Speaking French you won't necessarily be able to have a convo with a Spanish speaker, but you'll be able to understand road signs, menus, etc, and use caveman speech in an emergency.

Look up Michel Thomas if you are going to pursue French.

Mother-in-laws are the WORST.

KILL ME

>>1070936
I always fly solo, but I can tell you who some of the worst company for the day were.

>ugly East European who fancied himself a Pick Up Artist. Idolized Roosh.v and couldn't shut up about "game", called going to the pub "night game" and called our clothes "outer game". Just stood creepily over girls. Needless to say, neither one of us got laid that night

>bratty Japanese couchsurfers who spent the whole time in the spare room, answered everything " yesyesyesyesyesyesyes" or "ohohohoh okokokokok" demanded a chauffeur everywhere (couldnt handle taking a bus) and thought we were filthy for walking around our apartment in bare feet. They also sucked at drinking.

>Americans in our hostel who told us Canada was a pussy country for not fighting in more wars, George W Bush was a better president than Lincoln, God made the earth 5000 years ago, and Indians and Arabs are the same thing. They were apparently there for a sports tournament.

>a tour bus full of Germans and Finns. Even the driver gave up trying to have any sort of fun after an hour.

>>1070936
People who don't research places to go, food to eat, things to do and then complain when you offer suggestions based on what you've researched.

Its really turned me off travelling in a group if I'm having to be the tour guide the whole time, I want a fucking holiday too.

Sofia/Bulgaria here, ask away. But coast during the winter, why? Try Dubrovnik, Split.

>>1067027
Wel the reason I wanted to visit the coast is because I have an uncle that went there once and only said amazing things about it. Second reason is thet the trip is actually 2 trips: One to spend 6 days on Italy, on the coast of the Adriatic sea, and the 8 days on the balkans. I tough that having the Blakan destination on the coast would make it faster and easier to get too.

What is Sofia like? With the 4 day per location limit I cant visit the whole of Bulgaria, but im sure I can see the capital fine.

Any sites of kebab removal from the past? What sort of museus and historical sites? The food: Good international and traditional bulgarian food places? What about those little hidden gems that only the locals know about, like taverns and such?

I spent a week in Croatia

Split and the islands of vis and hvar

Great mix of hot girls, clubs, scenery, nature, food and things to do
