What are these things? I saw the off the coast of Portugal. They were just off the coast, and multicolored.

Aliens couldn't figure out how to make crop circles in the water so they threw that shit in.
For those who've been: is Machu Picchu worth it?
My plan is to do it as cheaply as possible but even still it seems quite expensive for what I assume will be a bunch of rocks totally obscured by fat tourists taking the perfect selfie. Especially if I'm well familiar with Peruvian landscapes, does the archeological site itself impress enough to make it worthwhile?

I think ruins can be only appreciated if you are really onto it. For example I always wanted to see rome and the palace in Crete. Both were horrible because you didn't see more than som very old ruins. If you always liked this culture and you have a good imagination it can be great, just don't be disappointed.
I did my undergrad studies in Andean Studies. Machu picchu is a pretty cool place but it is VERY touristy. You get shuffled in on a bus with throngs of tourists. It's not overly crowded but it's a large area.
It's pretty spectacular but there are better sights in highland Peru that are of way more importance to the indigenous population and better for the photographer. Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca, just to name a few. Cheaper and far fewer tourists there as well

I did the 3 day hike which made it way more worthwhile. The architecture is more impressive when you realize how bum fucks nowhere the city is located. I didn't find it overly touristy the sacred valley was worse for tourists.
Any recommendations for beach towns in those 3 countries? I want to spend 9 months in the region, 3 months in each country. Preferably staying in one place (town etc.) not moving around like a dumbfuck. Also not interested in tourism, attractions, monuments. Any internet connection will do as well.

Make sure to go to Venezuela first because your parents will still be able to use your travel savings to recover your body.
How hard is to get a working holiday visa if you are Mexican? I'm looking forward in getting one and move for a year to Australia to earn money and travel the country for a year.
FUCK

Hey guys,
I'm planning to travel around Russia this year and new advice and recommendations.
First stop will be St. Pete, where I will have an intensive language course and three weeks to acclimate myself.
After that I want to go to Moscow and stay there maybe for a week, before I head to Kazan.
I kinda want to go with the flow as always, but I know that you have to be careful in Russia. So are there any good ways to meet people to travel with and find accomodation?
And how to behave?
Cheers!
I have that itch again. I've already done the backpacking europe thing many years ago so I'm thinking next India?
Two weeks in India and two weeks in Thailand. This seem reasonable? Or should I just go to Japan. I don't know guys, never been to the east.
Thailands is cool. Never done India but I'm not interested in it. Hong Kong is sick. You'll have fun wandering around there.
I'm going to be vacationing in France for one month (July 24 - Aug 22). I will be mostly near Lyon, but will be spending some time in Paris. Is there anything that I should do while I am there? Does anyone know of an good sight seeing opportunities near where I will be? Any foods that you recommend? Thank you.
>>1272339
I lied, I will be staying in Boussenois, not Lyon. Still, anything to do?
has anyone done it before? stories, advice, info?
>>1272328
>working for free
lmao get a job back home and save up before traveling.
why would you work like a slave when you could be enjoying life?
>>1272330
to save in my city you either need to live rent free, earn a lot or sacrifice your social life
if it was a cool project i wouldn't mind doing 4 hours of work a day for food/board for a few weeks
I am going on a 3 week tour of new zealand next month with a couple of others and we are renting a campervan from britz motorhome rentals
Anyone here used them before? - and if so my main question is are the DVD players region free? (dont want to lug the LOTR trilogy all the way there to find out they dont work)
Sup,
I'm in Quebec City (from Ontario) toady and tonight.
Stumbled upon some sort of Summer Festival which I did not know was even going on. Is it worth checking out? I can only go tonight, when is a good time to get there and is there booze? Is there a fee to get in?
Today I'm going to Old City and check out a museum, should I go to the Art one or the "Interactive" civilization museum?
Any suggestions would be great
>Stumbled upon some sort of Summer Festival which I did not know was even going on. Is it worth checking out? I can only go tonight, when is a good time to get there and is there booze? Is there a fee to get in?
The festival is an annual thing, pretty big names this year (Metallica, The Who, Gorillaz, Kendrick Lamar, etc)
There's booze and drugs everywhere, so it's hard to miss any
You should check out some pubs on Grand Allee, there's something for everyone
Avoid the Dagobert nightclub tho, it's full of underage and teenage girls (most of the time the guards don't even ask for ids) and you're gonna be deaf by the end of the day since the shitty loud dance music will rape your ears
If you have time, check out the Ste-Foy shopping malls, literally three big ass malls right next to each other (can't get any american than that)
whats the best way to secure your home if you are planning to travel for a month?
i live in probably one of the worst meth neighborhoods in my country and it feels like someone will almost certainly try to break in when they realize i am gone.
i will be removing or booby trapping all valuables and i have full time monitored alarm system, but the addicts in this area are extremely desperate and the police have a pathetic response time.
i started by gluing razor blades onto strategic areas on my 50 inch TV and motorcycle so any thief will hopefully cut themselves and leave DNA, will do the same with my car seat, handbrake lever, etc before i leave.. any other tips?.
>>1272127
also interested in a cheap and reliable GPS tracker i can put in my car.
Page 11 exists? Never knew about that.
I have a house is a rural area. I have a couple lights on timers that will come on during the night. Also buy a real or fake security camera to put outside. I'm not sure if its the most effective thing but I feel it deters at least some of the tweakers.
What country in SEA is the easiest for legally renting and driving a motorcycle? A good friend of mine wants me to go with him on a trip when he graduates grad school in December and I am pretty well versed in this area of the world but not so much on the legalaties of driving and renting.
I would like to do Indonesia however with all of the islands and all something like Vietnam and Laos may be simpler, again I have no idea about which countries are the easiest for renting motorcycles.
Nobody cares about the law. Local insurances might not work properly, so don't crash into others.
Having a international drivers license is recommended, however they usually don't care about a motorcycle license.
Try 'motorcycle rent [city]' on google to have a good impression.
Not everything is online.
Longterm rent is cheaper.
Cops in Bali like to stop foreigners to get bribes, but they don't do that in Java.
Usually you shouldn't be bothered by police but check it out online, some areas in S-Vietnam might be tricky in terms of cops.
You can rent everywhere some kind of chinese motorcycle, getting a proper bike might be difficult.
Crossing boarders with bikes can be difficult, get information ahead.
I would recommend Laos, North Vietnam, Sulawesi, Sumatra, maybe Borneo, maybe Myanmar(more banned areas due to fighting than expected, not everything is properly listed online).
Go to all the national parks, driving there can be fantastic and they will be your highlights.
Java and Bali are not bad either, I would recommend Sumatra, Borneo(Malaysia and Indonesia) and Sulawesi however instead.
Always get a local sim card with internet, it's worth it and like 1$/card, 1$/GB, sometimes LTE.
You can buy helmets there BUT GET PROPER RIDING GEAR AT HOME!
Don't ride more than 5min with sandals and swimming shorts, at one point one might fall and even superficial scratches tend to heal worse than at home in my opinion.
One accident might finish the trip.
Seems very unsafe. I would personally not do it.
hey there, folks!
going to hamburg for one weekend in august, and would like some advice, please. me and two friends. during the day, we do like some sightseeing if it's interesting, and most definately, eating typical local food. we like to go out at night, but are not into techno and hardcore clubbing. more like bars, pubs and some rock clubs.
first off, locals, any tips on those? any local hints in general?
about lodging: is it too loud to sleep at reeperbahn? found a nice hostel online.
regarding the red lights: reeperbahn or schanze?
is the st. pauli stadium tour worth the time and money?
thanks in advance, people.
>hamburg rock bars
Enjoy being beaten up by antifa for being white
I'll be in Bangkok for roughly 9 hours, a bus will drop me off at Wat po in the morning and pick me up around 4pm.
What should I do with my day? I'm already going to wat po.
What else should I do while in Bangkok??
Grand palace is right next door, temple of dawn is across the river and khaosan road is a short walk away. It's a tourist area so the tuk tuk drivers are extra scammy, avoid if possible.
Does Tokyo have a good music scene? I'm quite a big fan of Japanese music, more on the experimental side than pop though. Although I do like Shibuya-kei a lot. How are the clubs there, also?
