The French/Swiss/Austrian alps have some pretty beautiful scenery, but I've not been there since I was a child so I can't really recommend any places in particular. If you're there right now it's ski season, so things like hiking aren't so easy. Also, it's worth bearing in mind that these places are expensive - they're the holiday destination of choice for rich Western Europeans.

If you are able to go a bit further east, I'd definitely recommend Bled and Bohinj in Slovenia, and Plitvice and Krka in Croatia.

Corsica is pretty great. High mountains from which you can see up to the see on the top, high altitude lakes, cristal clear water with pink cliffs...
The Alps of course, but the Pyrenees must not be understimated either
That's mostly mountains tho I could list some great canyons in France too.

>which you can see up to the see on the top

I totally fucked that sentence somehow

I meant from which you can see up to the sea

Also pic related the French Alps

If the opportunity is good then it's worthy; Bogota is a first world city for the most of it and unless you wander into the slums there is no danger.

A lot of people is white there so you won't stand out as much as you think, plus Colombian women are extremely hot so that will make it easier for you as well

You will obviously have to learn the precautions needed to prevent pickpocketing, muggery and other wonderful experiences normal in most Latin American countries

Thanks for the reply
the "most dangerous" country i've been to so far is Nicaragua. How would the situation compare with colombia?

>>1071430
Bogotá is much safer in my experience, I don't know about other cities in Colombia but I've never heard bad things about them

i got north face borealis.
i didn't searched a lot though, seemed fine and it was cheap, so i've just bought it.
using it for nearly 2 years; for school and travel, and it's really fine.

Trevi fountain, but go there in night. Also roman forum, pantheon. Watch out for dirty people who want sell you selfie sticks and others. Dont let them give you anything because they tell you its free and later they want from you money.

In Wichita here, what do you like to do?

sadly pretty much just drinking and skating, i come from a community with a large medical marijuana feeling around town, im assuming people smoke there but openly?

>>1072803
where are you from? Marajuana is good, and really simple to find

No, but it sounds like a cool idea.

I did on my last trip to Nepal which was my first long solo trip.

I find it pretty therapeutic, getting thoughts and feelings out on paper and I read through it last week in anticipation of the trip I'm on now around South America. Yes it kept a nice record and reminded me of things I had forgotten, both written and not.

Have the same journal with me now and keeping wary of having it just be an event recorder. I find the best entries are the ones that give a clear view of my mind set instead of just saying what I did.

I tend to keep a journal anyway (though I do write nearly as much as when travelling) and my only warning would be not to worry over recording every last detail - you're supposed to be having fun, not feeling tied to having to write.

Tldr: go for it.

I try to take video snippets/pictures and then put them together in a short vacation video. So that's kind of my "journal"

I was thinking of just renting bikes, but now this got me thinking of bringing my skateboard instead to save me some extra cash.

>>1072467
With fees most airlines charge for oversized luggage and special items, prolly rental is better.

I love a Segway tour. They're pretty fun. Guided too. Done them in 8 citites now. I highly recommend D.C. and San Francisco. Miami Beach is near the top as well.

Surly makes a couple frames with s&s couplings in the middle of the frame, and you can take it apart and pack it into a bag that can be checked on a plane.

I only fly Malaysian.

wtf is songkran


anyway they're a shit airlines and at 800 you're probably not going to survive lol

>>1072234
Thai new year. I could fly Delta and their partners, but it'd be about $500 more dollars, and from my regional airport, which would be better

>>1071385
Lauterbrunnen.

>>1071385
Just a heads up, Switzerland is expensive. Maybe you should just visit the Austrian Alps instead.

>>1071387
Germany pls leave

>>1061748
You can expect around 500 baht a night for somewhere with a refrigerator and bathroom. I'd advise spending a little extra just to get a good neighbourhood. Avoid Asok/Nana.
Hotels are common and cheap, so you don't necessarily need to book. It would make your arrival much easier, though, if you knew exactly where you had to go.

>-Where to go?
7/11 or Aeon for organic yoghurt. It combats Delhi Belly.

>-Is it useful to do this instead? Can you leave luggage in the hotel?
This question implies that you would be wandering around Bangkok in 35 c heat with your entire wardrobe on your back. Why would you do that? I don't even understand fannypacks.
Yes, leave your luggage in your hotel. I'd advise getting hard-cased lockable luggage just to be safe, though.

>>1061748
>-Should you get a suit made whilst you're there?
No. Go to Hong Kong, find a Chinese tailor who doesn't use touts, drop at least 7000HKD for a suit with a "floating canvas" jacket.

Women will look at you like you are a prince.

Bangkok tailors are able to make shirts and trousers. Just make sure they're using 100% cotton fabric - ask for fabric samples (this is standard) and burn them at your leisure. If they turn to ash, they're cotton. If they turn into a blob, they're polyester.

>>1071893
I'd give you mine but I'm French too

>>1071893
Don't have a snap, but you could use this very forum to post questions, answer questions, etc. Might be fun...

I've been to France a few times, but only really spent time up in Berck sur Mer. If I get back, other than Paris, what is the one place in France I should be sure not to miss?

>>1071958
>only really spent time up in Berck sur Mer

I guess that's your photo then ? >>1071746

I'm not OP I'm the other French, what kind of things do you like most ? Castles, hiking, wine, food, History in general ? I'd be happy to give you some place to go but there are so many things to do I'm asking for more precisions first

>>1072763
Your thread is very vague and won't get many replies. Start reading the other threads on /trv/, often people post about their experiences when traveling.

If you have specific questions about travel then ask away otherwise just post in other threads. This board is very slow.

>>1072770
thank u for the advice!

>>1072776
Once you get some ideas you'd like to discuss, get feedback on etc., start a thread -- folks here are pretty helpful if you have something interesting to start a conversation with.

If ur in Kansas. Drive to stl cheapest cost of living u will find in a cool city. Like 500$ for an apartment. U can't fin that in places like Chicago, east or west coast. Good art scene, check out Cherokee street. And if she truly wants to be an artist go to a place with density and culture. It's a pet peeve of mine when ppl wanna Perdue art and live in the middle of nowhere. It's like trying to be a professional snowboarder and living in Phoenix az

>>1072215
No shit? St. Louis? She's got family there! That's great news!

What are your interests?
Are you looking for cities or nature?
Do you want to stay in one place or move around?
What do consider central eastern?

>What are your interests?
vidya, history, music (create and listen), politics, philosophy, military, writing, anime (i want to start learing how to draw)
>Are you looking for cities or nature?
I want to get to know new cultures, and travell across the countries, doesn't matter is that city or nature area if it's interesting place. Generally all my foreign travels was to western Ukraine because they have cheaper petrol, so I suspect that a lot of places may seem interesting to me.
>Do you want to stay in one place or move around?
Definetly move around
>What do consider central eastern?
Generally, countries on the pic, maybe i wrote a little vague

Czesc

I can give you a few suggestions. I personally visited Slovakia and CZ and loved both countries. I think they're slightly cheaper than Poland (except Prague which was geared towards tourists). There's so much to see there, a lot of historical sites. Kutna Hora is my recommendation, you must go there if you're in CZ.

My cousins recently went to Serbia, Macedonia and Albania. They said that Macedonia has a lot to see (nature wise only and some Roman era ruins). Best part is that it's incredibly cheap there. If you can hitchhike down there you'll be able to do a lot with not a lot of $.

A lot of Poles seem to be going to the Caucasus region. I have no direct info but they say it's cheap and there's a lot of good wine there. Lots of historical sites and some of the most spectacular nature in the world. Same thing as with the Balkans, if you hitchhike down there it will be super cheap.

I loved the Algarve. Lagos, ponta di pidade, Praia da rocha, fort sagres.. Beautiful environment! Monchique was a nice mountain village near there. We also loved the Santa Bernarda ship, took a day trip on it with swimming, sailing, caves, bbq on the beach... Great stuff!

>>1072264

Thanks! What that be something nice to visit now in February as well? Anyone else?

Pic related is the Santa Bernarda. It leaves from Portimao.

http://www.santa-bernarda.com/

We were there in high summer though. No idea how Feb is.

From Lagos you can also book dolphin watching trips. We loved that!

If you're into history there's an old Moorish fort in Silvas as well.

Great views from Cabo de st. Vicente as well. It's the most Western point of the European mainland. I think. It has a little lighthouse. And just before the lighthouse there's a bratwurst truck ran by actual Germans who advertise with selling the "Letzte Bratwurst vor Amerika" (the last Bratwurst before America).
