Good travel feels thread
holy shit what the fuck autocorrect
>>1292107
I guess if you are enjoying yourself...
To me, being dirty, outside, cleaning with baby wipes, eww. I'd have some skin infection or backache in your place. I also would be more conscious about offending people with my appearance and smell.
im super jealous op
i plan to do something very similar to you in japan
travelling w/ minimum things is my idea of travel

Thank you OP that sounds lovely

Sometimes there will be a day without a date and on those I just talk with locals and have a great time, get a hostel or whatever. I've never had a bad trip some doing this.
Done it in NZ, Russia, Korea and Japan, doing it now for 5 days in Texas, wish me luck anons.

>>1292107
I'm not one to judge people who smoke, but why would you smoke AFTER taking a shower and changing into clean clothes?
>>1292229
Yes, it's 2017. And yes, smoking is still very popular in Asia, where OP is.
>>1292344
I think it's a refreshing change of pace.
It's better than

Sounds cool, anon
>>1292380
I admittedly smoked both before and after.
dude just go to onsen
>>1292394
Can't. Have a tattoo.
>>1292371
God dammit. I tried to do that in Malaysia and failed miserably to lay. It wasn't the goal of the Trip but still would have made a nice story.
I didn't bother to pay for tinder plus though, I had hooked a few nice contacts but didn't have the time to work my way to a date yet.
> based paktor anyway
>>1292395
>Have a tattoo.
This is the exact reason why I won't get a tattoo. I fully support people's decision to do whatever they want with their bodies, and I can even appreciate their art. However, I would never do it to myself if it means facing restrictions somewhere down the line.
>>1292399
Well, it's only inner city sentou and onsen I have problems with. No one gives a shit in the countryside.
I wasn't passing up on getting my first tattoo in Japan of all places.

Sorry to hear that anons. I've had plenty of dates with no sex and we never meet again, strange girls. Speaking of which

I guess it's alright. It beats visiting some old stones and then hit up the whorehouse like some other anons do.

You sound like a complete bitch my dude. Toughen up.
What kind of tent and pack you got, OP?
>>1293285
This.
>>1293949
I usually give a solid budget for trying really nice food and maybe a souvenir or two for my family/friends back home.
Most of my money is on drinks and food. I'm not frugal with that stuff.
>>1293949
>>1294125 this is me
Outside of the flight ticket I figure my sleeping budget is $0-60 per day depending on my luck with finding a lady or a bro to let me crash at their place. Food/drinks maybe $75 on average per day. I drink and party hard though.
My Texas trip is finished now and I spent money for a hostel for 1 out of the 5 days $56 bucks, the rest I was able to crash at other people's houses for free, but obviously I'll be buying them a drink or two for them in the night.
Pic related is a really nice cognac dipped cigar rolled locally on 6th st. Smoked one there and I bought a few for the road.

I love Central Europe forests during fresh snow falls, I usually pack my snowboard and climb to the top of a local mountain and then ride down, honestly a waste of time but it is so much fun, also cold, rainy days in the summer in Central Europe are comfy as shit, there's just something about those pine forests that put me at ease, pic related
>>1292229
Americans are the only people to not smoke a lot and criticize other people for it, Europe and Asia don't give a shit.

Wait for a tailgate in a college town, girls are unbelieveably hot and horny if you act confident enough, best part is tailgating is open to everyone, and if you are a foreigner you have a better chance of fucking.

I actually probably would've believed this more if the family was white rather than Asian.
Asians don't give a shit about western history.
