Is "faily godo" a typo, or some /fit/ meme I do not know?

>>1051792
Yes. You can expect to get laid elsewhere. It's pretty easy to get laid traveling. I have never been to a country where an opportunity did not at least present itself, though I did not always do it.

f the places I have been, I'd mark the Galapagos Islands, Iceland and Cambodia as the DO NOT DIE BEFORE GOING THERE spots.

The Galapagos for the scientific significance coupled with the scenery and wildlife, Iceland is the most beautiful place I have ever been, Cambodia, between the Khmer temples and conversations with people who survived the Khmer Rouge genocide just made for a really powerful travel experience.

Slightly next tier -- Rome/Venice/Istanbul if you know and are interested in the history of the places, Yellowstone in the winter and Japan/China in one go for the contrasts vs. similarities of culture.

Indigenous peoples of the Americas crossed it when it was frozen over over 10,000 years ago.
This is a pipe dream.

Assuming your car gets 350 mpg and its a 13000 mile drive you would have to refill your tank at least 37 times. If your car holds 18 gallons per tank and the average price of gas is $2.50, you would spend $1665 on 666 gallons of gas.
But, you would definitely have to have an offroad vehicle that can operate in various harsh conditions as well as a boat to cross the ocean at the strait. Also you will easily be spending large sums of money at once to pay for water and food during the long stretches.

Try it if you want, but I don't think anything less than 15 grand and a year of free time will suffice.

You can't afford $15,000 (conservative estimate desu senpai) and a year off from work? How poor are you lololololol even the little street urchins in Mumbai can afford 15k and a year holiday

>>1051527
It's possible. Some guys did it a few years ago by boat across the Behring and Atlantic, then biked across Russia

I don't know how you would cross oceans. You could time it to take cruises. There's Alaskan cruise ships that transfer at the end of the season in October. You could go from LA, Seattle or Vancouver to Japan or Australia. You could also do LA-Hawaii-Japan. There's some more common trans atlantic cruises, Cunard does UK-USA each way once a month.

There's also cargo ships, which tend to cost even more. Those have more space but with less amenities.

You could volunteer as a crew. There's websites like this
https://www.findacrew.net/
You could do South America to Australia that way, and then a lot of boats in the Mediterranean go to the Caribbean during the summer.

I've visited.

The university is known for partying, although I've never been. The downtown is really interesting - cool ancient colonial houses slowly being gentrified by rich white people whose great-great-grandfathers probably owned the block once.

Outside of the historical area, its dirty and downtrodden. Probably has a high crime rate, although I haven't lived there long enough to notice. Outside of Wilmington are lots of beach towns - nice neighborhoods, but probably expensive.

Feels kind of like the grime of NY with the colonial background of DC.

It's a nice town from my experience. some shit parts, but that's more or less anywhere. traffic can suck, too. it's basically any mid-sized city with suburban hellscapes and whatnot.

I live hear. What kind of work?

Never been to Budapest, but you can't go wrong with Prague. Fairly cheap and incredibly beautiful.

I'd also consider Krakow in Poland and Vienna in Austria. Ljubljana in Slovenia too. You'll be sure to have an amazing time in any of them. Krakow and Ljubljana are a little smaller than for example Vienna or Prague. Not sure how long your trip will be though.

Been to both, and I greatly prefer Budapest, but they are kind of different types of capital cities. Budapest is all (slightly faded, but only slightly) imperial glory, elegance, high culture and charm. And the baths (especially Szecheny) are a must - at any time of year.

Prague is a bit more overtly "urban" and industrial and maybe a bit too tourist-orientated, although the historic parts have charm too. I suspect it is rather better to visit in summertime though - Charles Bridge and the area around it are at their best of a summer evening. It has better beer (of course), but the food is pretty terrible (which is absolutely not the case in Budapest).

Ljubljana I'd stick up for too - a bit sleepy, but very charming. As is Slovenia in general.

OP here, I was also thinking about Ljubljana as well. I was there once but I was only passing on my way to Switzerland so I didn't get to see the city. But I loved the scenery in Slovenia. I also found this small hotel which is fairly cheap. Thanks for the answers.

Is there a typo in there? No sure what you are asking.

I don't think this is really a question for /trv/, but here is my very rough estimate of where it does and doesn't snow in the United States. I probably fucked up in a few places but this is my best guess and one which I hope is not too far off.

Everywhere below the blue line probably doesn't get too snow every winter or doesn't get very much snow when it does snow. Everywhere below the red line probably will not see snow on an annual basis although I think basically every state gets snow at some point or another.

Here's the USDA plant hardiness map.

http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/#

I'd only describe anything above zone 9b to be snow-free. But even where I live in zone 9b in central California it gets cold and occasionally freezes, but I've never seen snow here.

There are very few places zone 10a and above in the US. Which are generally warm year round and can grow tropical plants.

>>1050817

You probably want North Dakota or Minnesota. You're welcome.

wait are you a grill?

Just take the trip, I usually forget about all troubles back home when traveling since you're too busy trying to figure a bunch of shit out, exploring, etc. It's a great way to escape for a bit.

You just dodged a huge bullet anon.
That women was going to cu'ck you within in a inch of your life and leave with children you were going to pay for forever.
Western women are horrible. South east asia is exactly what you need right now.
Dont forget this lesson anon.
Never , ever get married and prenups dont work anymore.

Will be there over Christmas too.

I'm kinda at a loss myself, will be monitoring this thread as well.

Also since you're going with your gf I would recommend Rockefeller center. During the Christmas time they turn it into a ice skating plaza, I'm sure if you have ever watched a romantic movie set in NYC you have probably seen it before. Go rent a pair of skates and spend some time on the ice with all the other tourist couples.

>>1050528
This was definitley on the agenda, cheers. Going to check if it operates on Christmas Day since we're not sure what will and will not be open

They do say the city never sleeps though right?

Where you goin'?

Best ways to enjoy yerself are somewhat influenced by where you are.

>>1050463
top choice, Austin, Texas, the other two i pretty much picked at random so Vermont, and West Lafayette, Indiana wherever the fuck that is, i can't even point to Indiana on a map

>>1050465
I second Austin. I grew up in Michigan and UofM there is pretty awesome, but you don't really get snow in Austin so less packing and more partying. Plus the city itself is full of young people moving to the city so you'll meet great people who aren't in college. Look for the university of Texas at Austin.

>>1050278
The beach

Take trips north eastward to major cities. Dc, Baltimore, Philly, Atlantic city, NYC.

Being a foreigner it's not so bad of a spot to get to many historical spots for the United States. Many colonial towns and rich in history near by, you are close to where the first settlers came in and then revolutionary war and also fu*k over the natives like a bunch of bitches fu*k the white man

Lan Kwai Fong in central is your night life, Friday or Saturday night. Wednesday and Sunday nights, go to Wan Chai.

Bumping for interest... I'm considering a trip in the next year bouncing over from Sapporo... When is best (weather and cost wise) time to visit? Is there any decent wildlife viewing opportunities. Food that cannot be missed on a 4 or 5 day stay?

You could go visit in's point In Nathan road eat everything you see if you don't like Cantonese food try cafe de coral it's everywhere maybe go to wan chai for some bitches and you could visit women's market have fun Dude Hong Kong is awesome crazy people great food and the weather is nice the whole year except in Sommer
