>Me and my friend planning to go to Sweden this summer.Also we want to go to Iceland.Thinking about getting a boat from Norway or somewhere else.My question is how long that boat will take and how much it costs.Also we are open for other suggestions about scandinavia must-see places.

Why not check icelandair website on the way over the pond and use them for the layover. Their flights are priced lower than other airlines in order to entice you to visit.

As far as boats go, I think the ferry service is from Denmark and UK (mostly concerned about serving the Faroes so you can see both as a benefit).

Not sure this is your most economical way to travel because people moving their cars are willing to pay a premium, but should be simply fun. I'm just saying to check airfares too.

No they aren't. Even foreigners that live in the USA just go to the regular schools. The only ones who would be aware are those that have lived abroad. IME, International Schools pretty much mean "Western education in a non-Western country" and all typically follow US/Can/UK/Aus curriculum. So no need for an international school here.

>>1067914
There are some around. Google and see.

"International schools" are just really good private schools. Every private and expensive school will give you the same education.

Bump because come on guys

What site is that you're using?

>>1067845
Roadtrippers

>>1067223

Maybe people don't like south korea

>>1066996
Maybe try backpacking or going with a friend.

Get a job on a ship. One with loose cargo, so it takes a while to unload will give you more time in port. My friend who actually had skills they needed got one week to travel in country for every three weeks of work.

Suck a lot of dicks for $5.

MARSEILLE LA CITE PHOCEENNE GROS !!!!!!

>>1066923

Yeah, I'm going to pass on Marseille, thanks. Really didn't care for it when I was visiting. Probably one of the few cities in Europe where I generally felt unsafe walking around at night. Didn't really seem like there was much to do there either, even though it's the second largest city in the country.

Grenoble
3h from the sea
Surrounded by moutains

Why would anyone travel to Quebec in the middle of fucking winter? It's going to be terrible.

He obviously hates his family and wants them to suffer.

Going for work, and my wife has always wanted to go. We're not really bothered by cold.

>but i only have a few days.

Spend a day or two in NYC, a day or two in the Lehigh Valley and a day or two in Philly.

NYC has countless things to do at any time.
The Lehigh Valley has amazing and cheap shopping (And Dorney Park if you like theme parks) and Philly has all sorts of stuff to do as well.

This way, you won't be killing your whole trip traveling. It's only about 1 or 2 hours from any of those places to the other

I'm stuck in NYC for a music festival, I'm planning on doing some site seeing during the day. So you don't recommend Boston?

Dutch here. Beer is somewhere between 2 and 5 euros depending on venue. With classic backwater café going as low as 1,50.
Food?, if u cook it yourself u can have meat and veggies for less then 5. Restaurants will cozt 10-20 for a disappointing meal. Dutch people only eat out occasionally instead of several times a week /day like for example Asians and South Americans. This makes the prices quite high even for Dutch that earn quite good

Where do you live anon? Food is cheap if you buy in the supermarket.

>>1068564
awesome thanks should help me work out what I need wont be cooking so that will be the only expensive part i for see

You need to get your student visa in line while physically in Germany. It requires an interview at an embassy or consulate, neither of which we have stateside. Before you even apply for it you have to have been accepted to your school of choice. But you could visit your girlfriend and some schools on the Visa Waiver Program, go back, and apply for the visa, obviously.

>>1068506
Oh, and also,

You Sir, are a Gentleman and a scholar.
I deeply want to thank you for your input and hope that you have a nice day.

Do you know by any chance the length of the process to get a visa after you've received your I-20?
Also how soon - before the start of the semester would I be able to enter the us on the students visa?

not OP, but bumping for WWOOF-ing experience / stories

not op but bumping for the other posters

Meet a guy in Japan doing it... For about a month. It's basically like slave labor for farmers or getting an "internship" where they have you doing menial work for the companies benefit only under the guise that you are learning or getting experience or "traveling to an exciting place to meet real locals"

It's cheaper and more fun to backpack and stay in hostels and couch surf.
If you want to learn farming. You need to know someone where you want to go. Network your ass off once you get there. Not through wwoof.

actually, no. unless you want to fight with ukraina against russia. or with any other country, against russia. have you already visited the "good" parts of europe? like italy, spain and france for example?? only place in eat europe you could visit, if you saw the western part already, is croatia and of course greece.

This isn't really EASTERN Europe, but Slovenia is a really good option OP. Very small country but really diverse. The area by the ocean resembles other Agean cities but with a distinct Austro-Italian feel. The Alpine regions are absolutely gorgeous with snow capped mountains of Mt. Triglav. Lake Bled is a world famous summer retreat for many Europeans, and has a really cool castle on an Island in the center. The Karstic region has the most sophisticated network of caverns in the world, so you coild walk for kilometers on end and aee subterranean waterfalls and all sorts of shit. Ljubljana the capital, is very pretty, modern and unique, worth the stop. All of the country can be traversed in a few hours, and the country itself is a crossroads between central Europe and Eastern/Balkan Europe. Go there for s bit.

shit m8, there are about 8 threads on the first 5 pages on the wild east. I suggest reading them first and coming back with some more specific questions.

Bump for interest

Try google flights, they have that feature now. You select a starting airport or city and it gives you the prices to all the connections.

Don't get a tour. Get a flight to/from Tokyo, reserve hostels, get a rail pass. You'll have a much more interesting experience.

>>1068077
At those prices, it must be the most budget airline available. Room's might be cheap but you knew that going in.

More likely, meals are not included and you'll be paying a lot of extra fees and things where there's no reasonable alternative.

Expect them to make it up in the margins.

Also considering buying a motorbike from Malaysia and trekking through most of it that way.

>>1068069
I haven't been yet but my research on the region has me thinking of doing the same route in a few years. Except I would also go to Myanmar.

Regarding a bike, read up on other peoples experiences. It might be hard getting it across some borders. While it would be awesome to do that there are some negative sides like for example meeting and traveling with people. Most of them will be backpackers and will not want to team up with someone on a motorbike.

As a useful suggestion, read up on weather patterns. It's possible to go to Indonesia during the dry season and then up north during their dry season. Indonesia and anything north of Malaysia has their wet seasons at different times of the year.
