>Moving to foreign country to be with my girlfriend
>Staying in hostel temporarily in a private room
>Gf comes to visit
>Worker sees her come with me to my room, doesn't say anything
>Next day they want her to pay around $11 for visiting
What the fuck is this bullshit? She wasn't told or aware that visiting someone in the hostel would include a fee. Needless to say I paid the fee though. She didn't stay the night, didn't even stay more than the time it took to help me look for apartments on my laptop, yet gets charged $11 for visiting.
It is just $11, but it definitely has me pissed. Other than pointing out the hidden fees (among other shitty things about the hostel) on every single review/hostel site that's out there (which I'm planning on doing anyway, fuck these assholes), what can I legally and ethically do against this hostel? I want them to lose 10x or even 100x more the amount that they preyed on my girlfriend for.

And by making them lose money I don't mean actually causing them to lose anything, moreso them losing business.

You are trying to apply hotel mentality to hostels. Not the same rental of a room thing, but rather water usage, towel usage, bed linens, etc.
If she stayed in some common room in the lobby with you, might not have been a problem, but anyone that is going to get bent out of shape over $11, when you snuck her past the desk without notice coming and going, then they aren't really able to keep good track of what thievery you had going on and then later wanted to argue about.
It's bad form. Go ahead and waste some stress and effort on it all with a review, but what you did is exactly what they don't want in a customer. If you want to own a space entirely, you should go to nicer hotels, where they get above that narrow profit margin, and start treating you like an honored guest, not someone that made them $2 but might have infected the joint.

No. There's no ferry service between Australia and Asia. The options you have are cruise ships or cargo ships that take paying passengers. If you have sailing skills it's possible to find a boat that will take you for your services.

I can't teach English overseas as English is not my first language.
I have citizenship in another country. From what I understand, if I just move there without securing a job beforehand and no networks, I'll just end up working in some grunt-tier jobs though

why would you want to move to a place where you don't belong? If you're just following orders ask those orders the questions you're trying to ask here. In other don't be dumb. Moving to another country just because you under some sort of impression is exactly the same as going and buying a rope for your gallows.

not true. If you're fluent and have qualifications it's still possible in many places.

Hell, in most Asian countries you don't even have to have qualifications or more than a passable English as long as your white. Fake it till you make it

So for a while now I've planned out my idea of a year long road trip across the continental US. I grew up in Mississippi/Louisiana/Alabama so skipping those the goal would be 45 states over the course of a year, spending a little more than a week in each state and visiting at least one major city and one national park or national monument in each state. The order of states I took from here: http://www.randalolson.com/2015/03/08/computing-the-optimal-road-trip-across-the-u-s/ and I've been compiling ideas on where I'd want to visit for a while now.
I've also got plans for a secondary road trip where the goal would be to travel across every Canadian province + Alaska over the course of 3 or 4 months.
Problem with the whole thing though, is it'll likely be a while before I feel comfortable financially to take such a trip. Even if I sleep in my car or couchsurf for a fair bit of it I think I would need at least $20,000 to do such a trip.
Has anyone else done something similar? Any tips on how to accomplish such a thing?

Sup /tra/velers
I am planning a roadtrip through the US with my best friend. We're coming from northern Europe, so I hope we're white enough not to get shot down in the south.
Rough itinerary in the picture, but we're landing in New York, and are probably spending a week between NY, Philly, Washington and surrounding sights. We're planning on using whatever public transportation is available, but might get a car if we decide to visit places like Norfolk or Gettysburg, if they are worth it.
After that
>Take flight from Washington to Orlando
>Kennedy Space Center, amusement parks
>Rent car and drive northward
>Friend in Lawrenceburg, TN, so we are going to head that route, probably use it as a small base for a few days to see surround areas and cities.
>Another friend in Dayton, OH. Will also use as a base to go around and see stuff nearby
>After that, head eastward, maybe do something in the Appalachians, and eventually return the car in New York
We'll be there for 26 days, as well as an additional arrival and leave day. What are some must-see stops on the route, or nearby places that we can go by? Anything from interesting places to visit, beautiful natural parks, or just great foodplaces. The route is anything but finished, the only places that are nailed down are NY-Washington, as well as Florida, Tennessee and Ohio.

Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. Make sure you try some homemade moonshine at some hick's house in the mountains woods.
Also, Be sure to see the ocean while in Florida. It is a very short drive to either coast in Florida from Orlando.
In New York, do all of the New York shit, obviously, like ride the subway, Time Square, but also check out Liberty Island in NYC.
Take pictures with your friend at each monument in Washington D.C.
!!! Eat good ole American barbecue when you are in the south! Tennessee will have shit loads of it. Barbecue is a must.

My father wants to take me overseas after I graduate college. I love British history so we first thought to visit Europe. However after the muslim immigration, Paris attacks, and migrant crisis none of us think Europe is a good option. It's just not what I thought it was.
I was thinking of going to the DPRK through Koryo Tours. I want to go to a place that not many people can say they've been to
What are your thoughts?

If you really want to visit Europe then do it before the Schengen breaks down. If you absolutely don't want to see muslims then look up where the worst ghettos where they are packed. In the end most of UK is free of them.
>>
>>1056128
First of all, you're a /pol/ troll. But just in the small chance you aren't, but are just an idiot, then yes, you can go to DPRK with Koryo. You should do it sooner rather than later since who knows how much longer the current DPRK regime will last.

Paying over 10k euro for that purpose only is not really worth it.

Next year I plan on doing some traveling and I wanted to start off in Mongolia since it seems that would be the hardest to manage compared to all of east asia, and therefore I would want to get it out of the way.
From what I've read, there is really no need to spend more than a day or two in the capitol.
Looks like to me the cheapest way of getting there would be flying to beijing and taking the train.
Like most others, seeing the gobi desert is probably the top reason people go there. However, I don't think I'm up to spending 10 days or two weeks living with nomads. I think I would prefer a shorter stay, but can be easily persuaded otherwise. Are there any festivals to looks out for, best time of year?
Anyone has been there and want to give their opinions or experiences on visiting mongolia? thanks in advance for any info provided

I have another question:
Is there any way to stay with nomads for two/three weeks without it being commercial as fuck? Is it commercial as fuck?

Don't go in winter.
I just got back from there, there's not much to do outside of the capital in winter and not that much you can do inside it either.
Beijng->Ulaanbaatar is about a two day trip, easy enough I guess.
Ger tourism is totally a thing, fortunately, commercial-as-fuck things in Mongolia aren't super commercial because the place is so undeveloped.
Nadaam festival is in June/July, it's the only festival that's worth remembering I think. It's the high season for tourism but also the best time to go.

HAHAHA
Oh god no. The high end ger camps at the biggest tourist spots (Khustain, Orkhon Falls) are still just felt tents and you will be doing great if your hosts bothered to bring you some wood for your stove.
Not to say Mongolians are bad hosts, just the idea of commerical tourism hasn't yet caught on. You should always expect you'll need to gather you own cow shit in the morning. Mongolia is still a few decades from the spa resort.
The benefit is that you can camp anywhere, the negative is that you will be camping. If you enjoy camping, nomad trips are awesome, you'll love it.

Depends on how badly you expect to get cu'cked
>>
More seriously, it depends on what sort of things you like, what your budget is, where you have already been, etc.
That said, Cinque Terre or Amalfi Coast in Italy are good bets.
My wife and I did a bare-boat charter in the Virgin Islands, which was quit nice, if you know how to sail.

In all seriousness, you sound like a bitter feminist. You want to travel to an area with not many men? Give me fucking break, you're not as great as you think you are. Try Antarctica though, the only place as cold as your beige personality and bland intellect.

Has anyone used an Inter-rail Global Pass? I think I am going to buy three 1 month continuous passes and go everywhere I've wanted to go in Europe in those 90 days.
Pic related is the kind of route I would want to take. Starting in Amsterdam btw.
Do I have to reserve my seat beforehand or can I just go on the train with my pass?
Does it work will on all trains or only trains between big cities, eg between Barcelona and Madrid? What are the rail links like in general? Will I have to backtrack to get a connection a lot?
I am from the UK btw. Any inter-rail tips or experiences appreciated.

yes, a lot of us have.
>Do I have to reserve my seat beforehand or can I just go on the train with my pass?
depends on the train. in france and italy you usually do, but for holland, germany etc. you don't.
>Does it work will on all trains or only trains between big cities, eg between Barcelona and Madrid? What are the rail links like in general? Will I have to backtrack to get a connection a lot?
works with all trains I'm sure, but you can only use it once every 24 hours or some shit, I don't exactly remember the rules.
my advice is to get the insurance. I was a fucking idiot and didn't take it, so I used my 250euro pass from Berlin to Prague then lost the fucking thing and had to buy individual tickets.
>>
>>1054471
also that is a lot of countries and cities for 1 month.
I've interrailed twice both for about a month did these routes:
Paris - Barcelona - Nice - Swiss alps - Munich - Berlin
and
Berlin - Prague - Krakow - Budapest - Vienna - Innsbruck - Venice - Rome
best to keep it to about 3 days per city.
>>
>>1054481
That trip on the map I am planning to do over three months.
Did you enjoy your trips? Did you see much countryside on the train?
I'm going to Italy On the 21st of December! So excited. But I need some advice guys. Hostels and airline tickets are already booked, my friend even got us a rental car. The one thing I'm having a hard time with is how do I book tickets for the Ferry that will shuttle us from the mainland to Messina, Sicily? We want to drive all the way down to the tip of the "boot" then ferry across the channel. But I can't find anything on it. Is it just something we can book once we get down there? Or does it need to be in advance?
Also, how is Venice during New Years? Many QTs out?

That ferry connects a well populated island with th rest of the country, and in particular two relatively big cities. I guarantee you there's no need to book in advance -- it's probably not even possible.
If you're going to Venice to meet locals, qts or not, you've chosen the wrong destination. As for the tourists, it's not exactly party city numero uno, but you might be lucky.
