Bourbon street a shit. 0/10, only go if you run out of better things to do.

>>1059172
Stay out of my city.

Or

If you do come don't be one of those faggy tourists who complains to the natives about how dangerous it is. No we don't want to live in your peaceful suburb.

>>1059172
Ignore >>1059273
Bourbon Street is cool enough, go if you've never been. Sure it's touristy and shit, but whatever, if that's your type of thing, you'll still have fun.
But by all means, see more than the French Quarter, because there's so much hit. Hit the World War II museum, City Park, etc. Don't be one of those lame tourists who only comes in NOLA to get drunk. You can get drunk anywhere.

sorry to burst your bubble but Cancun is mainly about chilling on the beach while drinking, pigging out at the hotel buffet and going out to night clubs

>>1058421
Ve a Xcaret, Isla mujeres, y como dice el gringo, relax.

>>1058708

Kaliningrad?

>>1055764
Hmmm, that is in Russia, but it DOES sound nice...

Go to Stockholm by far the best city in northern Europe
In Sweden and Denmark you can do great with only english
I dont know about the rest
Norway is really beautiful

Forgot to mention the only place I'm hesitiant to go to is india , because most of the sites look like shit , and don't show their work at all.

Thailand, best for cheap quality medical tourism. Just look at the ladyboys

>>1058577
I actually typed this surrounded by Thai chicks, only two "appear" to have gone under the knife,outside of breasts and sometimes nose, it's hard to tell

I prefer six bed mixed dorms. Eight in a pinch. Too small and it feels like you're in someone else's hotel room. Too big is obviously a problem.

Mixed because the odd babe in a bra and panties spices things up and I've seen a few tits and gotten laid once just from waking up while some chick was getting changed. It's no bad thing.

It's also a decent way to meet chicks. You've seen them in underwear, they've seen you in slightly less, it breaks the ice and everyone knows what's what and whether they're interested.

Always mixed rooms so I can steal some of that sweet used panties the girls leave behind when they go do some sightseeing

>>1060741
Well i was gonna go mixed but now I'm worried girls are gonna steal my man panties, thanks

>favorite street/neighborhood in your city

Pretty much the opposite of traveling since it is just over a 10 minute walk for me but if you're in the area you may find something to enjoy nearby.

Bit sentimental, maybe, as it's the first place I lived in London - but, wow, what a neighbourhood.

sup ks fag.

I don't live here (but I visit very often) my favorite street in Kansas City is Walnut St or Grand Blvd in downtown, don't really know why desu

In the West Highlands, maybe visit Oban. It's a much more interesting town (cathedrals, big folly on the hill overlooking the place) than Fort William, where the two trails join. The train journey between Fort William and Oban (there are usually three trains a day, and you have to change at Crianlarich) is often described as one of the most scenic in the world - so try to do that in daylight hours. From Oban you could cross by ferry to the Isle of Mull , and then maybe on to other islands (eg Iona)

I love the route from Loch Lomond to Oban to Fort William (Ben Nevis) to Mallaig to Skye. It's absolutely stunning. And Skye itself has fantastic hikes. There are some great hiking options in Cairngorms National Park too. The shorelines of the Orkney Islands are very dramatic as well.

Just off the west highland way you'll find a distillery called Aberlour in the village of Aberlour, highly recommend this and the mash tun inn is an excellentp lace to stay, a little expensive but worth it. also Dewars world of whisky in Perthshire and springbank distillery in campbeltown are a must see.

Bumbooty bump

desperate bump

I'm also interested in working abroad and teaching english was a thing that sprang to my mind. I don't speak english as my native language so is there any chances to get to teach english? And if so, which countrys are most likeable places to get a job from?

My ex and I really enjoyed working with Free The Bears in Phnom Penh. Probably not what you're looking for though (I'm guess it would be too white)

She was a vet student and I'm a med student so we got to do some cool hands-on work (assisting the evaluation, investigation and management of a bear with a fractured hip, minor dental work) but most of it was unskillled labour (sweeping up shit, preparing enrichment activities, preparing meals etc). Really did feel like you were significantly helping the operation of the charity though.

Hey man, that sounds exactly what I'm looking for- I'll check it out! Even if it's run by white people, it sounds pretty legit.

>>1059680
Never heard of 'Free the Bears,' but I'll chime in that anything you can do that is in any ay helpful to Cambodia is well worth doing. Great people who have been handed the short end o the stick way too many times.

>>1059657
If you're interested in historical stuff you may visit Lübeck. Not that far from Hamburg and some interesting stuff from the middle ages and the hanseatic league.

>>1059671
Nice looking town but seems to be no cool old castles or mountains.

>>1059694
Yeah its mostly dug up old houses from the hanseatic trade organizations. Gives you good insight in day to day life in that time.
>no mountains
You have to go further down south to see those. Maybe a day trip to saxony (especially Dresden) would be something for your consideration.

>>1058700
Try Logistics, Supply chain, or something related to Maritime operations. Global trade and ports is a good industry.

Consultant in a big company. Hard to get in, but you get to travel almost every week.

>>1058724
This - worked for PwC for a while, went to China, HK, Taiwan, Israel, the UAE, Saudi, and a few states in the US.

What are some of the best rural areas? I wanna experience the non non.

I've been to Schipol / Amsterdam many times and think this is definitely doable. You could probably even stay in the city for 2.5 hours. But you should take a taxi, at least in to the city -- since you're short on time, if your ideal starting point for your city tour isn't close to the train station (and it's unlikely to be, as that area is shit tourist tier level) it's a lot more efficient (time-saving) to take a taxi. IIRC, fare is about 50 or 60 Euro,well worth it if this is an infrequent opportunity for you.

>>1060413

Unfortunately I don't think I'd be willing to pay quite that much for a taxi. Is the train station in a particularly bad or boring area? I'm not at all familiar with the layout of Amsterdam city and only started toying with the idea of leaving the airport today.

I'm not planning on participating in any organized services. I'd be happy just walking around, soaking in some architecture and sights, maybe getting breakfast, and heading back to carry on with my next flight.

Thanks for the advice, by the way! From what I've gathered online, Schiphol's security and customs lines tend to be efficient. Does that match with your past experiences? Should I not have to worry too much about getting caught in an hour-long queue coming back to the airport?

>>1060414
>>1060413

Oh, and I almost forgot to ask: what would you recommend doing in the short span of time I'll have available?

Peace sign and slightly closed eyes.

Are you talking about taking a selfie? I don't. I hate selfies. I take pictures of what I am there to see, and I'm not there to see myself.

Also planning to go to Guatemala but in February. If you are gonna be based in the capital you can definitely visit Antigua and even the Atitlan lake quite easily. Also the Chichicastenango market on thursdays and sundays

Find the kid I've been sponsoring through Child Fund International and let me know if he's real.

Is he white? Are you white? Not /pol/, but certain people attract crime there.
