Going to Fiji and then hopping to some island countries, particularly want to go to Samoa. Flight less than $500 from Bangkok (where I am now). I've been to Vanuatu already, was amazing. Anyone got any experience? Can I get on a sailboat with no skills or vag? How to travel cheap between island nations?

How's Tokyo for hook-ups? I've been to Korea and I've gotten a decent amount of attention, would the same then apply in Japan? For context, I'm around B2 in Korean and A1, if I'm being generous, in Japanese and don't know much of the culture. Idk, I don't really know what Japanese women like as I do w/ Koreans.

Only idiots would visit this dystopia at this point

What's your map look like?
Also, which state that I haven't visited do I need to see next if I'm looking for natural beauty?
I was particularly impressed by Washington, Arizona, and West Virginia.

So I am meant to be studying for the Japanese exam, but instead I'm procrastinating making a website to help me study. I'll probably keep procrastinating and building out more on the site. Hopefully it is useful to others studying as well

What is it about traveling in the America-sphere (Canada, US, Mexico) that's so fucking soulless and depressing? Just looking at a piece of land in the USA depresses me. It has this dead, empty, cold vibe. There's something evil about it.

NYC is the *only* pocket in the Americas that feels like it has some semblence of soul. But you can also feel that like getting sucked out post covid too. (No, mexican shitholes including cdmx do NOT have any soul. They are poisoned with the america evil energy.)

Anyone ever been to this city? I might make a detour and pay a visit but I'd like to spice it up with some amusement like rollercoasters, I heard there's a place called Energyland, is it fun and worth the money?

I kept postponing the planning of my trip for months, mainly because I wasn’t sure where to go (and still kinda don’t). Now my days off work are coming up this next weekend, and I still don’t have anything planned.

Has anyone else been in the same boat? Would it be a good idea to still travel without much preparation, or should I just save it for another time?

Flights being way more expensive because of the dates (expected), and the schedule being shit, is what’s throwing me off initially.

Where would you travel for study?
I'm going back to university in my 30's to study privately, but there's not room for private study in my country or acceptance of adult students, so for a range of reasons I'd rather study abroad as an expat.

Student accommodation would avoid a lot of expat accommodation problems, at least until I was set up, and student visas tend to be long terms and far easier to get then foreign work visas. So its likely I would have foreign savings, a local job- but an adult income not some shitty bar job, and the AI boom/cancer is going to sink most of the expats working in teaching and IT, who locals often hate apparently.

Visiting Israel (unironically). Yea or Nay?

ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ

Will I fit in if I visit Iowa or will I be ostracized for being Portuguese?

Things to do in Ho Chi Minh? Already did most of the tourist stuff but doing the chi chi tunnels tomorrow. Any other ideas? Any advice for how to connect better with locals? Seems like the language barrier is pretty strong in Vietnam.

I'm visiting the US for work and I'll be here info the next 8 months. I always work my local coffee shop which is right next to a college and holy shit, the amount of hot chicks that swarm the campus is unbelieveable. I'm a well off dude that has it together, but can't seem to crack how to get American college women. What's the trick bros? I know so many of them are so open to new experience but frankly I just don't know how to get infront of them. Never really felt like PUA worked. Does anyone here have suggestions?

Yes, women cause crashes at slightly higher rates, but that doesn't mean ALL women aren't qualified to fly by default

I've been traveling for some years as a hobo. I've been all over europe and america. I'm homeless, poor, and ill. My condition gets slightly worse every year and causes me constant pain every day. There is no apparent cure or effective treatment for my issues. I'm profoundly sad and miserable

This isn't a pity or complaint post. Rather, I'd like to do something to feel alive during my last couple years. My one thing I'm good at is stealth camping, bushcraft, and traveling long distances on foot off-trail through difficult terrain. I am thinking about going on extreme trips and going to dangerous locations and filming it. I don't care where it is or how dangerous it is, I would rather die doing something cool that no one else has done rather than slowly fade away to illness and poverty.

I am currently writing down every idea I can think of. I want to do things that are
>Exciting, invigorating, make me feel something
>The more dangerous the better
>Fun to watch if I record it
>Not something that multiple people have already done (or at least not filmed)

is it worth going to seville in december, travelling with long term gay friend

Post your favorite trip you've taken, and explain why it was your favorite.
I'll start with my trip to Southern Germany last summer.

Munich
>Flew into Munich, took transit to a youth hostel which would be my main base camp
>Walk around, explore randomly
>Day trip to Vienna. Explore and hike randomly, take cable car up to super tall mountain, hike there
>Group tour to the Eagle's nest
>Free tour of downtown Munich from the hostel

Heidelberg
>Take train to Heidelberg, stay at another youth hostel
>Explore castle, walk around and explore and whatnot
>10 mile hike up the big hill, following the Neckar river to Neckarsteinach. Have lunch while looking at the river, then take a boat back to Heidelberg.
>Went to Heidelberg zoo
>Before taking the train back to Munich, get currywurst and ice cream, traverse the bridge

Munich again
>Go back to original youth hostel, cook in the kitchen
>Ride bike in the rain and explore randomly, go to a river to check it out
>Take transit to ride an alpine coaster
>Go to olympic park, explore and swim in the pool

Why this trip was so great:
>Cheap ($2000 something, flights included for ~2 weeks)
>I was alone and could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted
>Hot women at the hostels just came up and talked to me. This Polish girl in particular totally wanted it but I had/have a gf
>People were very friendly. I'd have nice chats with old folks on the train or at the bus stop. Young dudes my age next to me on the train were happy to talk as well. People smiled while I chatted with old folks on the train because they thought it was sweet
>First time traveling solo, and first time going to Europe as an adult
>I'm about half ethnically German, so Germany was always extremely cool and exotic to me (a burger)

Best day was probably at Heidelberg, doing the 10 mile hike and taking the boat back. Amazing day

I am an American and am about to enter a field which highly relies on security clearances. However, I met a girl on-line who lives in Iran and I really like to visit her in the foreseeable future, so I can meet her family and see if they approve of me. I do have a few questions, though.

Would I be welcome there as an American? Will police (or the IRGC) bother me? Would I get detained or interrogated upon my return to America? Would doing this void my security clearance? What if I made this trip multiple times?

How safe is it to visit? I've always wanted to for history, but have the terrorists been blown up yet? Why is it taking so long to get these hostages back? Is Qatar paying for it or did liberals really become Jew hating Nazis?

Also about Tel Aviv. How many homos do I have to deal with if I want to stay in a resort on the beach?

What city could I go for months and still not have explored all the museums?

I'm Canadian and I need to travel to Vienna, Austria for this medical procedure. I'll be there for like a month.
I've never been to europe and I don't give that much of a shit about old buildings or history.

What is some cool shit I can do when I am there?(I can't drink at all during this trip sadly)

Hello, /trv/
Does anyone here live in, or has lived in, the city of Pittsburgh, PA? Talk about how good it is if so.
I am seriously considering moving since it seems to be reasonably priced, somewhat nice and closer to my family. I live in Charlotte, NC right now, and the costs are similar but this place is a hellhole plus I don't know anyone.
Alternatively, has anyone here moved elsewhere from a Charlotte-like city? How did you pick it?

I've never traveled outside of my mexican state and got no money, but I speak english, got a PhD in literature and im a great storyteller.

I've noticed plenty of authors I admire, e.g. Jack London and Herman Melville (he wrote Moby Dick) ran away from home and traveled far and wide during their youth. Melville literally just approached a ship at the dock in NY, asked for work doing anything and they took him with them all the way to Patagonia and back, and quite a few other places. These travels inspired him to write a bunch of adventure stories, attain legendary writer status and make a living off that for over a decade.......... then he had to work at the post office just to make end meet, started drinking hard and beating his wife (probably out of frustration for not being young and able to go out on adventures anymore).

My points are, A, life's too short to work a job you hate, even if it seems to be the only way to obtain the money you need to travel the way you want to, to travel "safely", and B, if these authors simply said "Fuck it, im penniless but i want adventure regardless" and hitched a ride overseas with a bunch of strangers (and even worse, sailors) back when the world was allegedly more dangerous than it is today, why not you and me too?

Has any of you ever tried the green hands way of traveling (just approaching a ship going where you want to go and sail with them)? If so, how do you go about it? If not, why not? What's the worst that could happen? I imagine you can improvise something once youre where you want to be, request asylum, or even residency. How is this way of traveling cheap less safe or effective than hoboing and the like?

I've been traveling all year. Africa, South Asia, SEA. I have just one carry-on bag. I've taken almost 40 flights including connections.I love the flexibility of being able to move at a moment's notice and taking cheap flights and walking straight out the airport. Anyone else keeping it ~10kg?

>take trip to Berlin
>look up things to do
>every video and article says you MUST try the ICONIC currywurst
>day 1 go to a food stand and try it
>it's complete ass

Share with us a tale from your travels.

Doesn't matter if its not very interesting - what comes to mind?

I'm going to Seoul, South Korea next year. Any
tips or things I should know about? This is my first time in Asia. Thanks in advance.

I was the only white guy on this shit flight from a European country to China, with transfer to another country. The Chinese are the worst people Ive ever encountered. So fucking loud and with no manners at all. Plus at Beijing airport, security takes 2 hours and you get frisked by some fat Chinese man thinking he has some important role. Even though it was half the price this shit ain't worth it, however the stewardesses were babes.

It was stolen from Dubai Garden DXB and the police are useless. I tracked the device (Galaxy S25U) to the Al Dafrah Tower in the Al Nahda area in Sharjah. I found their Instagram as my phone number was verified on there for some reason. I got a screen shot of the profile pic before they removed it now which I attached. The Instagram is ammo_1981, it has 2 followers and no posts. Any questions please ask. Help would be appreciated. The last the police said is they are on the run so if you see this guy please report it.

Is is worth it to fly first class to these destinations for relaxation, culture, and adventure?

Starting point Europe
(Country irrelevant because first class flights are not in every country)

Argentina + Chile
>Although if going so far might as well see more countries in south america

Australia + New Zealand + Antarctica
>also makes sense to see Oceania, possibly flying to SE Asia for a trip and then going from there

Japan
>Hokkaido or Okinawa depending on the season, but can make stops in Asia on the way

I have the funds easily for two people and could do a trip each year, but I'm not a fan of long distance flying so it's better if the trip is a one time thing or has shorter stops than a long haul

Is it worth it flying first class?

Has anyone ever hired a car and completed a road trip through this region? the countries I am referring to would be
>Jordan
>Saudi Arabia
>Kuwait
>Bahrain
>Qatar
>UAE
>Oman
Looking to stay away from anywhere war-torn and corruptive for now. I imagine there would be a lot of beautiful desert driving on this route? and the price of hiring a vehicle hopefully wouldn't be crazy expensive. I guess my questions are
>Is it even worth it
>Would it break the bank
>How safe is it?
>Would I even see much
>Would finding accomodation be difficult in rural areas?
>Is a car even the best way to get around these parts

Tips for getting over jet lag?

Ive never travelled outside of Europe and now I'm finding out that other countries collect your fingerprints? What the fuck. I don't want to go to Japan anymore because I'll have to go through china. Either of them having my prints is wrong

Stuck in SLC for work for a few days. Any reccomendations for 20 somethings to to fuck around/hike/eat? Best place to get Fry Sauce?
I know theres a college here so here's hoping we can land a mormon girl and start soakin'

Just turned 18 not too long ago and have $4000 saved up. I want to move the fuck out of the US. I'm willing to learn a different language obviously and conform to a different culture. I just can't deal with this shithole of a country any longer. There's not a god damn thing for me here. What would /trv/ recommend an anon like me to go?

Honestly the only things I'd want to personally avoid is religious problems and high levels of crime. Being on 4chan of course I'm someone who leans a bit more towards interests out of Japan. But I'm not too picky about being in Japan specifically.

What are the whackiest off the grid places you'd love to visit, and sometimes find yourself /trv/ing to on Google Maps?

Clipperton Island always makes me nervous. Seems like my idea of hell being on a flat beach in the middle of the Pacific surrounded by crabs. Looks like 1 wave would spell the end of you.

Apparently the atoll has closed off the entrance, and created a lagoon in the middle which manages to trap rainwater (salt water sinks to bottom?). People stranded on fishing boats have survived there for around a month or so.

The place is so small it's a cunt to find on a map.
10.302062364452656, -109.21601991017711

France have claimed the waters around it, and apparently Apparently nearby there's underwater manganese mining potential worth billions. Think Trump spoke about it the other month.

I'll be in Madrid for a full week during late October.

So far I'm thinking about doing day trips to Segovia, Avila, and Toledo. Anything else I should checkout? I'd like to see castles, churches, reconquesta stuff, etc. I think I'll stay in a Madrid neighborhood with easy train access so I can get around.

I don't reserve hotels ahead of time. I plan the first day for hotel shopping. I walk in, if the hotel seems good, I ask to see a room, check for cleanliness and noise levels. If it doesn't pass, I move on. I've had to look at 6 hotels in one day before finding a good room before. Having a good, clean, safe place to relax and sleep is the #1 most important thing in a trip.

This is the thread where the hotel IS the destination.
Any here in /trv/ who travels to a place solely for a specific hotel/accommodation, or hopping from one hotel to another? Whether it's a 5 star or a no-frills accommodation located in paradise, I want to know the hotels you went to & why that place is so special.
Guess I'll start. Last year I stayed at the wonderful explora Patagonia in Torres del Paine. The obvious downside is it's fucking expensive. But it was all worth it. Full board meals with great food. Open bar. You can pick any exploration you want to do each day. Jacuzzis with lagoon views. Woke up to picrel everyday. I'm an autist introvert loner but the staff made me feel like I belong there.
