chilean bro here. Educated youngsters will probably speak english just fine. Palermo soho is a place with good nightlife, puerto madero maybe

>>1062957
Thank you for the info, also, do you have any idea about the blue dollar? Is it still working?

>>1062971
Argentinian here

The blue dolar doesn't exist anymore. 1dolar=13.5 pesos argentinos

If you want to party look for "boliches" in Palermo, Puerto Madero or near by those places. Look for the names then google them on facebook and check what kind of people go there and if you like the place in general.
Kika, Rose Bar, Esperanto, Asia de Cuba are some popular places but that doesn't matter much

It's one of the most fun cities in America. Youthful, progressive, open-minded (in a tumbl kind of way, avoid not being white anywhere in Texas), and fun. Good weather, good beer. The major downsides is that it's real damn hot in the summer, and there's not much short travel options, you have to fly at least 1.5 hours to go anywhere worthwhile (except San Antonio of course).

Highly recommended. Enjoy UTAustin bud.

Its a cool hip young city, partially ruined by shitty Californians. One of the few places you can get a nice professional job and still not being in a shitty bloated city like Houston or LA or something. Best of all you get that sweet Texas low cost of living (shootouts to HEB) and no state income tax.

It's only 100+ degrees for a couples weeks at most. I personally don't think it's that bad. The winters are so tame that it more than makes up for it

>>1062486
Where can I get one?

If you lose it your travel is literally over

Walk south until you hit Guatemala or El Salvador. Then stay there.

What are you going to do when your hundred bucks runs out (which will happen very fast)?

If you think you can just wander around the globe doing odd jobs making ends meet... sorry it doesn't work like that.

To travel you either need savings or you can go the ESL route (that usually still requires a 1 year contract).

>>1062407
I have been doing pretty much exactly that for the past few years but only in the US if you don't mind roughing it and traveling primarily by foot and hitching it's really not that difficult. How would I go about doing an esl program? Better to get certed on my own time and then look for jobs or to do an actual program? Where do you recommend for the latter?

Why did you cave?

>>1062112
They somehow did it, anon, they made me think the worst even though I know it's irrational, I was going on my own and they twisted it into if I get killed etc no one would know.

I JUST DONT KNOW ANYMORE, I CAN'T STAY HERE TOO LONG, ILL END UP LIKE THEM ANON, DAY IN DAY OUT SAME SHIT, I CANT DO IT, IM GONNA EXPLODE

IM GONNA FUCKIN RUN AWAY

TELL ME WHERE I CAN GO AND WORK WITHOUT A PASSPORT

What a fucking pussy

>>1061770
i reccomend interlaken, swizterland

Iceland, Switzerland

NZ is a good choice too but plane tickets are going to be rather spendy

Not OP but I'm interested too.

We went to Denmark almost exactly one year ago. The snow made it beautiful. Amazing culture, good food, beautiful cities. Would recommend.

>>1062027
Is Iceland in winter worth it? I know that summer is a must but I want to see some northern lights.

Construction work in Australia has really good pay and hours

>>1062960
I pretty much do this. Contract web developer. Can also do it during travels if you get remote work.

I don't know but I need to do the same thing. My ex/gf or whatever u want to call it did the same thing. I was thinking of doing that teaching thing there where u speak to the students in English.

>KFA delegation

In joining the KFA you are literally joining a group representing what most of the world considers a rogue state. You're also serving as a propaganda mouthpiece and helping them morally. It would be similar to joining the rebels in Indonesia, the IRA, or to the Zapatistas or some shit. Take a tour you mong.

Bumped for interest

Def avoid the tourist cities. Laguna is a world heritage site. The volcano is the shiznit. Orotava valley looks pretty. Rent a car.

there is a small hostel you can stay at near the summit of the volcano but you can only stay 1 night

you can be a lazy bastard and take a cable car there, or hike up but i'm not sure where you could start from, maybe vilaflor

Wouldn't say they can 'fix' anything, but traveling alone is a decent way to figure out if you are a lost cause or not. If you have a decent time and maybe even have a conversation with a person versus curl up in fetal position and cry what ever inevitable issues arise from traveling.

How do you make money?

No, travelling won't fix you.

>>1058901
I'd suggest booking a small tour with people your age or students if you're looking to meet people travelling and get some confidence. Experienced travelers often hate on them because they're often overpriced and fairly generic but it's hard not to get to know people on them. If you do a couple of those and don't make any friends or get to know people on them then you've probably got bigger issues.

Don't overthink it though, I've met some really reserved people abroad who ended up being heaps of fun. There was a German engineer in kinda the same situation as you, quit his job to go travelling around Canada, think he was 28 too. Fairly shy (like me honestly) but super interesting.

Also having done a bit of travel gives you way more to talk about when getting to know people, which is half the battle imo.

If you're srsly making $150k a year passively is there really anything to lose? Even if you don't talk to a single person the whole time there's a fair chance you'll still have a good time. Just walking around towns and cities solo can be nice.

Brazil.

If you go to Armenia you cant get into Azerbaijan because they block people with Armenian passport stamps, however your able to do the reverse (from Azerbaijan to Armenia).

Also a war between the two countries potentially broke out yesterday, so Armenia mightn't be a great option right now, though i doubt much would happen as Azerbaijan cant stand up to Armenia+Russia.

>>1062444
Sure about these stamps? I know Azerbaijan used to deny entrance for people who had stamps from Nagorno Karabakh but not Armenian.

The recent skirmishes come in very bad moment. Russia and US will support Armenia while Turkey will probably help Azerbaijan. That means widening the conflict between Russia and Turkey.

>>1062444
>>1062451
Thanks, I wasn't really aware about that conflict. I wonder if Armenia is amping up the conflict with some urging from Moscow to spite Turkey?

American who's visited all 50 states here

1. It will take an absolute FUCKLOAD of time to visit all 48 continental states. The United States is as big as continental Europe, and there's a lot of states that are not necessary to visit at all.

2. It will also cost quite a bit. Hostels aren't common in the US so you'd have to find an alternative place to sleep. The cheapest way to do it is probably AirBNB or couchsurfing, although I've never used either.

3. In my opinion, the best parts of the US are the national parks/nature in the West and the cities in the East. Those represent two different trips to the United States. One trip is on the eastern seaboard from South Carolina to Maine (at the most) and the other trip is kind of a C shape, where the top of the C is Chicago and the bottom is New Orleans (at the most), and hitting some of the major national parks between. The bulk of the midwest and the deep south are completely skippable - not because they're super conservative or because they hate Europeans, but because there's just not anything interesting to do. Keep in mind that the trip from Chicago-Seattle-LA-New Orleans is over 70 hours of driving.

I mean, I get that there's this romanticized idea of what middle America is, but I don't see the appeal of paying $1000 in airfare to come see a small American town. All people really do fro fun in middle America is drink, so maybe stop at some bars in small towns when you're traveling between interesting cities.

Doing a roadtrip through all 50 states would be very difficult to do in 3 months if you plan to stop and enjoy some cities/national parks from more than a day. I would, and I'm sure everyone else here would recommend you do the U.S. in parts. For first time Euro travelers we recommend the Northeast because people are more educated/less xenophobic and public trans is decent (for American standards anyways, euros may find it embarrassing though).

A very strange thing for a traveler to post.

Of course, what you like to do and what interests you may not be what anybody else likes to do or what interests them, but the idea that in roughly half odf the continental US there is nothing interesting is laughable.

I'm laughing right now.

Pic related, laughing a lot like that.

Tons of hiking/mountain biking in the bay area. Look into marin county. Alot of good trails.
