The other 200k people on immigrant visas would love an answer too. I wanna go to Scotland and bang all the redhead qt3.14's already.

OP here, do you have DACA too?

>>1065133
Can you obtain a passport from Honduras? This should be possible in the embassy. Then apply for university in a European country where studying is free (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, etc.). With a student visa you can stay in said country for as long as you study and work too whilst you get a degree. With the degree it should be easier for you to go live places.

I'd be very interested in that as a traveler and frankly there's probably some monetization potential if you could make that as an app and slap some ads on it.

I'm still a CS student so this might be impractical, but that sounds like something that a genetic algorithm would excel at for the larger problem sizes. Semi-randomly generate a first generation based on physical distance, give the user the option to choose between faster and more optimized pathing (fewer or more generations). I've never actually implemented a genetic algorithm but I've studied them in concept.

>soliciting quasi-solutions to the Traveling Salesman Problem on /trv/
You're in way over your head

>>1064055
This isn't the board for tackling Traveling Salesman Problem on. Talk to /g/.

But research more first, you clearly haven't thought about this enough to start asking for help.

Secondly, no one goes on 65 city holidays anyway. I've travelling to every major city in China and that's only 40. Where the fuck else would you be talking about? Every state capital in the USA is less than 65 and who does that kind of trip?

There are all sorts of heuristic simplifications that you could do to make the problem smaller but you're not even sure what you want to do, so you're not even ready to define the problem that you want to solve.

You really don't.
Nothing in this world is free.
Better to ask about traveling cheaply.

>how does one go about traveling the world for free?
Hitchhiking, walking, train-hopping, dumpster-diving, and begging work for lots of scumbags, but you're almost certainly limited to your starting continent. I do not believe there is any realistic way to cross an ocean without paying for it.

Perhaps crewing on a yacht if you're in the right Point A and have skills that someone would desire en route to the right Point B, but I don't see that as a long-distance option--not a lot of private pleasure crafts crossing the Atlantic or Pacific. And you could theoretically get a tourism-related job (cruise ship, guidebook author, tour guide, etc), but they're not many and you would be working more than touring.

All that said, I've done a lot of "free" travel, at least in terms of flights and accommodation, by getting sent on a lot of business trips and keeping frequent flier miles and hotel points. But I still paid for food and fun, and someone else paid to get me the free stuff.

I've never traveled far by myself before.The logistics make me anxious. How do I know where to go to get checked in once I get in the airport? etc
It's confusing

it could also be squatting opportunities

I only know about two options for squats; I'm sure there are many.
On the farthest north tip of Sardinia there's a hippie colony. It's a bad option in the winter, though. I visited in June and there were only old people there, with no teeth and nowhere else to go. They told me "Come back in August. Naked girls, swimming, we bake pizza every day."
Pic related, the old hippies.

There's also the Faslane Peace Camp in Scotland, which is a year-round squat community of anti-nuclear protesters. Apparently in winter there's some competition for trailers to sleep in, so that might be a difficulty.

Try volunteering in southern europe through helpX, wwoofing, etc?

They are foodies

>>1064805
>very single country I've been in the local food tasted either like shit or just alright
I'm no gourmet foodie faggot, but sounds like the problem is with you.
>tasted like western food but with a weird twist.
That's because you're a total fucking pleb who sticks to what he knows.
>Yet every single country people rave about the local food.
Wow, people like food. What a shocker.

a) How much have you really travelled? Because it doesn't sound like a lot.

b) You're being incredibly vague about everything anyway.

Go fuck yourself.

I completely agree with OP. Non Western countries do not do food well. It's always good enough so that you can live on it cheaply but you're not going to enjoy it.

Stealing is bad. Mkay?

I admit to shoplifting from time to time, but you do realize if you are arrested you'll probably be deported and never allowed back into the country, right?

Who the hell would go to Japan if they can't speak Japanese? ;)

>>1060753
uhhh, drink coffee/eat a snack? It is a cafe, dude.

I'm currently going through the sticky but i figured im just gonna drop the question anyway.

So a few buddies and I are planning on going to Japan.
Now, we are still orientating but the idea is to visit Tokyo and Kyoto for 7 - 10 days.
Imo 7 days is too short and we should 10 days. I'm getting a lot of different opinions about life in Japan and how expensive it is. (Hotels/food/nightlife)
I'm kinda looking for someone who knows more about the subject and can suggest a game plan for lets say a 10 day trip. It doesnt have to be super specific, some general guide lines would do.

Hope you can help me /trv/

Thanks for the bamp amigo, one of my main concerns is getting money on the road, I have some little barber skills so I was thinking about getting my gear with me and cut hair on the streets I also have some musical training so I was also thinking into getting an ukulele with me to play in the streets, I also have some travel experience visiting Germany and hungary but I was traveling in plane and have a host there, again any advice is appreciated

Why don't you go to Thailand? It's cheap and Muay-thai is effective on a fight.

I spent 5 months in Chiang Mai, Thailand training Muay Thai. Lost 50lbs and fought twice (2-0 1 win by KO, other by points).

It's awesome. I had planned to go to Brazil this year to train BJJ for a couple months but got my fiancé pregnant so that's bring delayed.

>>1065043
And of course... What to do in London?

Firstly, where are you coming from?

>>1065045
Sweden, so it wont cost me too much to get there

>>1063155
Going to Manaus soon. What places should I avoid and is it generally safe baring in mind I've never been outside Europe.

>>1063363
Sorry for taking this long, had forggoten about this aahahha, i'm from Manaus, you can hit me up when you get here, maybe i can tell you which places you should fo etc.
well... Brazil is not a safe country, Manaus is a great a beautiful city, but is not THAT safe. The thing is: walk with your thins always hidden, don't have your camera always showing, put your phone on your pocket, the money on your pocket as well, or your bag maybe, don't go around showing off, people can literally put a knife on your neck, ask for it and run away!
the places you should avoid are the obvious one, like empty streets at night (actually you should ALWAYS take care at night, at any place) or the most poor part of the city. you can send a msg here asking for something else, it's night here now, so i won't talk much now, but i would love to answer something for anyone

Kansas City:
Watch a Royals baseball game
see the World War I memorial
Go to the Jazz Museum
Great BBQ Tour (Do not go to KC Masterpiece, it sucks)

If you enjoy the outfoors, the UP of Michigan is lovely in the summer. I'm also a fan of Wisconsin. Check out some of the towns along the great lakes.

zChicago is de best. You wont be bored, and in the summer women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

Pattaya

>>1061526
Thailand in general. Pattaya is fine, A lot of people focus on the whores there, whether as a pro or con. But what they neglect to realize is their presence makes the normal chicks that much easier do to relativism.

Here's a pic containing climate data for Antofagasta, Chile. Close to ideal in terms of what I'm looking for although winters could be a bit warmer. Also, not trying to offend anyone, but I've heard Antofagasta is a somewhat gritty-looking city.

>>1064372
Southern California. San Diego, L.A. I think even San Francisco qualifies

>>1064374
I've thought about SoCal and the english-speaking bit is very tempting, in addition to temperature being close to perfect, but I feel like there would be just a little bit too much precipitation for me to accept with LA being at 300-400mm / year, SF at a whopping 600mm / year and San Diego at a more acceptable 250mm / year.

Let me put my situation into context: I grew up on the norwegian west coast, where there's about 3000 - 4000 mm of rain / year, in addition to horrible temperatures at around 0 - 15C year round. I hate the rain so god damn much it literally gives me severe depression and anxiety. The less the better.

That being said, I'm not completely against the idea of San Diego. Do you have any other, drier suggestions? If not, thanks for your reply anyways, really appreciate it.
