Hey guys, first time posting here
So I'm the classic 18yr old, post hs wanna do something epic with my life story. I'm Brazilian, male and Italian white, if that matters.
I'm here asking for tips on where I should go, it'd most likely be a solo backpacking travel, I have no real time table but 2-4 months would be ideal I think. I'm looking for some place with active night life, I want to drink and party and meet and talk with strangers. I value the experiences and learning the culture more than the nature and beauty of the place, not that doesn't matter, just trying to help you guys help me.
Anyone had a similar experience? How was it? Other than that, any overall advice?
Thanks everyone

you're just looking forward to get laid bro, no need to bullshit on an anonymous board
Hey /trv/, first time poster.
Sometime next month, I should be getting 4 days off from work and I am looking to travel outside of the state on my own for the first time.
Looking to spend roughly 100 on roundtrip flight and 250 on hotel. Can spend more on hotel if needed. Trying to keep budget around 500ish dollars.
>pic related, where I'm thinking about going

Breck is getting amazing snow at the moment so come on down. It's a fun ski town as well. The legal pot is a bonus too, if that's your thing
Backpack from canada to peru possible? Will canoe down most of u.s. into mexico
If you have the time and money it's no problem at all. Biggest issue is how far into Colombia you have to go to get around the Darien gap.
my girlfriend got a job as a flight attendant for lufthansa. she will begin in february and i am wondering about the dicounts we can get. anybody has experience with that? i heard stand by ticket are the cheapest way to fly but there is a high risk of not getting a place.
She will be getting that free dick discount if you know what I mean

What do you mean?

I thought only pilots got the buddy passes
I've been traveling for the past 2 and a half years and I just don't feel up for it anymore. Does anyone else feel this way? Maybe too much of a good thing? I used to feel excited getting on a bus/train/plane to a new place but now I just feel like I'm wasting time and money. I've been working in Australia the past 5 months and booked my flight back to the states for late January. Has anyone else felt this way but continued to travel after some time back home? I feel like I'm just getting old and tired. Pic is unrelated but it's Ned Kelly's armor and thought it was pretty neat.

Travelling is primarily a hedonistic endeavor, no different to any other. It's shallow and vapid and after the thrill is gone, you are left mostly empty.
I mean I love travel, I really do. I went to Japan and Taiwan this year and planning South America next year. But people who travel as a 'lifestyle' have be the most uninteresting, pretentious sods you can meet. Usually they have a chip on their shoulder about high school, or their hometown or something. People think because they work an entry level hospitality job in Siem Reap instead of Bumfuck, Kansas it makes them interesting.
But hey brah, I'm just ranting. Maybe you are just tired and maybe I'm full of shit.
>>1062977
It's like when Forrest Gump stopped running. You stopped running. You are tired You can go home now.
>>1063002
Lol not op but I'd like to think I'm not uninteresting.
OP, the first time it hit me, I booked a ticket home. I realized I wasn't homesick - I just needed to be in one place for long enough.
I have a friend who's been traveling for about 10 years and she's close to tapping out because she's tired of doing it alone.
I was lucky enough to have a girlfriend who traveled with me this year (broke up, though)... But this is my 4th year of lifestyle traveling and I see myself wanting a more permanent base after this last run. I still want to travel but I want to take shorter trips and have hobbies again.
I guess it also depends where your heads at. I left home unhappy and now I'm not. I still love to travel though and I think a lot of people come back to the same problems they had "back home". I don't get excited being lost anymore though. I'm pretty over 2 day boat rides and long bus/plane rides.
If you don't have decent job prospects back home, I'd recommend making as much money as you can in Oz. It helps to have hobbies but stick it out if you can can because it's a magical country. Then go home and see how you feel but at least you'll have some money in case you need to take off again (might have to wait for the AUD$ to go back up again though)
Hi, dont post here often though i lurk a bit, I have the 2nd week of february free, I'm from portugal and would like to travel somewhere, id like to keep it pretty cheap so within europe where there are low cost flights avaliable, also id like to keep away from capital cities, as much as I like culture and museums Id like to go to a place where I can walk about and sightsee and dont want the worry of having to see everything.
Any more details just ask. Also dont know if this fits /trv/ or /adv/ please redirect me as you see fit
>>1063031
Well you could just look at ryanair & similar companies routes maybe you'll get some ideas, assuming you live near a low cost hub.
My gf and I lived in Marseille until recently and we used to do that when we were looking for qpme short trip destinations, never had regrets.
We actually went to Lisbon last year, was pretty good.
>>1063047
Thats what i've been doing, the fare to bremen is pretty cheap so im considering it, just worried abour the cold, never really been anywhere with snow as i dont usually travel during this time so not sure if I own apropriate clothing. Lisbon is pretty nice, currently living there for my degree
Bumping once to catch the other timezone
After some research bremen seems like a good place considering my goals. Probably going to stay there for like 4 days. Any advice on that? Do I need more/less time. Any other place great in february i'm not considering?
I want to make a 365 days travel around the world
> I don't want to stay more than 10/14 days in the same place (depends on the place)
>No problem with money
Where can I go?
Houston is nice.
england for sure.. like canterbury is beautiful

especially in the summer. dreamland.
Going to Austin for a music festival this April. I have one free day while I'm there, what should I do for fun on that free day?
40 miles south of Austin is New Braunfels, home of Schlitterbahn, a very large family-owned water park (I think it may be the world's largest, actually). It regularly gets all sorts of amusement industry awards for best water park and so forth, and is more-or-less the only water park that can compete with Disney water parks on their level.
I`m visiting Manhattan next summer and decided i would pay a visit but i need to know some shit first.
What shit is there to actually do besides the view?
Should i wait a few more years till there is more shit to look at and more shit to do?
Is it just butthurt nostalgia fags who hate it?
Has anyone here ever been there?

The Twin Towers were cooler. Surely most can agree with that.
But the new one does have steak-fries served at the top, so there is that.
>>1061924
I was just there a couple weeks ago. I'd say if it's your first time in NYC, do Empire State building instead. Lines are probably longer, but it has more soul than One WTC.
I only dislike it because it clashes with the rest of the skyline. The Twin Towers actually looked like they fit in New York, not fucking Hong Kong.
What's your favorite heritage railway/old timey train ride in the world?
Its almost meme tier but its one of our oldest and best patronised. If your a hard core /n/ it may not be for you though. We have a few others but none to this scale I'm aware of.

How about the West Coast Wilderness Railway in Tasmania?
They have the world's coziest commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYEfzopALrw
Took the train (3rd class) from Nampula to the middle of nowhere where the track runs out. That was pretty wild.
Hey /trv/ anyone have or know about WTC (Twin Towers most notably) pictures and videos like this? .

If you know any, just link me to them. I'd especially like pictures of the lobby. thanks in advance

I was thinking of driving to the top of the hills near me and watching fireworks
What do you guys think about travel for Brazil and see all the beaty of the country?? Not the normal landscapes and places, but the most secrets and coll, like the Turtle´s Beach or Costazul ?? And what do you guys think about all this living at a home near the beach that can hold 10 people and with a car ?? Sorry for my horrible english guys

noice thanks anon
Nice one. I did Oman with my fiancee last year; I don't think any two people have ever had a better vacation. 10/10 country, 13/10 if you include musandam.
I'd like to get to Jordan next. How poisoned by tourism/destructive 4x4s is Wadi Rum?
Do you have any advice for long bus trips?
And I mean, really, really long bus trips, like over 40 hours.
