It's safe. Enjoy..

it is as safe as US, don't worry. Book an hostel or hotel around Besiktas area. You will like it.

>it's safe

It's not that safe, but it's fine. Watch your back, if you are alone avoid touts at all costs. It's an awesome city and it's worth seeing so definitely go for it, just don't think there aren't some threats here and there in Istanbul.

Coors tour is more fun than it should be. Also a nice mineral museum in golden.
NEderland is worth a day.
Bri g camping gear and hit brainard lake for a night. See moose up close.
Great science museum
Bike around downtown, amzing bike city.

16th street mall is pretty cool. Other than that, it's pretty much my least favorite city in Colorado. You should take day trips to Boulder and even farther if you can.

I am also planning a road trip out to Denver this weekend, driving my own car from Nashville.
Going by myself and I'm in between jobs so my schedule is wide open, I could rough it as much as I want.

Where should I park if I want to walk around the city? Also where can I park if I want to sleep in my car?
What are some all-day things that would be fun solo?

If you pay to volunteer, you're not volunteering.

lack of infrastructure. It has only been pushing it's tourism the last few years. Prior to that tourism mainly consisted of military vets (know the place through the service), people with Filipina wives, and sex tourists, and often you can wrap all 3 of those up in one person. People started to take more interest when Thailand ess couping again in 2014, but Thailand seems to be on the rebound, and interest waining in the Phillipines again

>>1257777
it used to be the most popular tourist destination in the area until 40-30 years ago though

>>1257778
Even more recent than that. But it lost a lot of economy, and popular mindshare, when US Naval Base Subic Bay, and Clark USAF Base, closed down in 1992. The US's largest overseas bases. Hence the military dudes with Filipina wives being the only ones who remembered the place, outside of the sex tourists

I've lived in Nice. Côte d'Azur is extremely expensive and packed with tourists, but beautiful as well. I wouldn't visit it first, visiting Auvergne and the Pyrénées is probably less expensive, closer and less packed with tourists.

Some anon gave great recommendations on the area in two other threads btw

I can't help but think of Mickey Mouse when I see your pic.

>I've also heard that most places dont accept credit cards, or more specifically, american credit cards. Is this true or just a meme?
I think they specifically mean American Express cards. This would make sense, as Visa & MasterCard have far more reach & ubiquity.

>>1265692
>>1265766
No, most places dont accept credit cards. Bank card or, even better, cash are preferable.
The black forest is close, so are Heidelberg and Bavaria. Hohenzollern castle should also be interesting, but Ive never been there.

Stuttgart is not a very interesting town in my opinion though.

>>1265857
>most places dont accept credit cards.
bullshit. some places don't accept American Express because their fees are very high but that's it.

they're probably going to sell your organs

>>1266951
idk but i will apply, thanks for sharing.
Tbh it seems like they are just trying to make money with application fees

>>1266951
It's 12 people. They're going to use it for marketing etc... in the future and make a killing. They only pay out a relatively small amount and in return if they have a good advertising department they can use it in the future.
>Group participants are required to share their insights about what they've experienced, in writing, through photographs, and video, through World Life Experience’s communication channels (web and social networks).
pretty much confirms it.

If you're not bothered by Antifa people everywhere then Portland is pretty nice.

>>1266879
>I could be getting upward of a $5/hr raise

Enjoy that getting sucked dry

>ive heard as much as rent going up $200 extra per month upon renewal)

living in downtown is shit, and most likely more expensive than where you live. Look up the metro/light rail and fight some place outside of portland to live

I don't know where you live now but if it's somewhere cheap that 5 bucks won't mean shit when rent is double what you pay now (or triple).

I was born and raised here so it's my natural instinct to tell you to fuck of we're full, which we are. However you've got to do what's right for yourself. Just be ready for gridlock traffic, crumpling infastrucure, hyper-inflated housing prices, and nausea inducing generic hipster culture. This city ain't what it used to be.

go take a shower you faggot realtraveller©

why do you care? if everyone decided to do what you liked you'd just start complaining about that

Why do you want to go to Amsterdam out of all the places?
Have you ever been there?
Don't tell me you plan on moving to a place and country you have never visited but
>LOL WEED
is all you know.
How good are your language skills?
How do you plan on moving there? Where will you stay?
I hope you know that Europe doesn't just take any foreigner in just because people feel like moving there. If you won't have a job you will get kicked out of the country - just like any other European country.
So what's your plan exactly? Doesn't sound like you know what you are doing at all.

>>1266594

I visited Amsterdam years ago, I need a change from Australia, the life style is more suited to how i want to live.

that's why I'm asking for good places to live, I'm not completely sure of the areas.

Like I said, I work on the mine / gas plants, I'm hoping to get work as a scaffolder

>>1266594
just to expand on that

"So what's your plan exactly"

I already said in my op, "I am sick of the monotonous lifestyle i'm living, I work on the mines / gas plants and I am completely over slaving away for the cash."

>>1266466
oh no. im in almost your exact same position and I was not aware of age being a factor for things like this :(

I do have a car, but I go to school in Boston about 700 miles from home. And a student doesn't really need a car in Boston because public transportation is stout. So I've flown to and from school mostly. But when I came home this summer I rented a car, and got hit with fees out my ass.

I was in the same situation, didn't get excited before my first oversea trip alone. Just annoyed because of the 12 hour fight. But it got better as soon as I entered my couchsurfer's house.

Lean back, get some booze and enjoy your time!

>>1266314
flight, not fight obviously

I often feel nothing before, most of the during, and after

>>1266228
Where can I leave my RV for weeks or months at a time?

That way I can fly home and come back in a month to continue my road trip

>>1266309
Rent one.
Turn it back in.
Rent another later.

>>1266309
fly home and come back, dude what?

This was totally unintentional, but the last time I traveled was around Christmas time, and I quite liked it because the place was far less crazy about the holiday than western countries.

>>1266055
>I'm looking for somewhere cool to get dressed up and party, preferably in Asia. Ideas?
I don't know why, but for some reason costume parties seem to be a thing in the Central district in Hong Kong. You could walk down the street and start seeing people in costume. And the Stanley market sells costumes, and it was pretty much the majority of what they sold.

>>1266055
I firmly believe that Tokyo is the best place in the world to celebrate Halloween and its really only been a thing in Tokyo for less than a decade. Its grown so much and has become awesome.

>>1266055
>Halloween
An american holiday for sure. But in the last decade, and I mean really that recent and no older, there are some tourist-savvy small towns that are turning the night before their religious All Saint's Day into something to draw people in. Very rightly so, it has always been seen as something solemn and symbolic of lost loved ones souls, not as a fun thing to celebrate absorbed pagan rituals that scares people.
But, emulating americans and tourism are big desires overseas. Christians only. I wouldn't look for great fun in Asia whatsoever. Pick another holiday.
