Thread 213543245

I'm a friendless virgin freak and I have never been abroad because I grew up povvo. I want to go solo travelling around Europe, any of you ever done it? Any tips? I am ok for money because I have never had a gf to spend it on haha I would like to see Rome because muh old stuff and nice Italian food.

>>213543245 (OP)
Scotland and Northern Ireland are best

>>213543513
I've been to Scotland but it basically the same as England desu, never been to NI

>>213543245 (OP)
Way of St. James? Plenty of people walk it alone and you can meet tons of people

>>213543640
I've never heard of that before, is it a religious thing?

>>213543245 (OP)
Go to Rome can't you fly there for 30 bucks

>>213543245 (OP)
Hungary is somewhat cheap and there are many britishers in budapest right now

>>213543671
I have not issue with money but I want things to do solo without looking like an absolute freak, I am a freak but don't want the pretty continentals knowing that.

>Any tips?
Hostelworld app. Flixbus app.

>>213543245 (OP)
I have been solo abroad loads of times but mostly on business.
I'd suggest, go to big cities and stay in hostels. In hostels opt for a shared room instead of a solo. Lurk in the lounge, especially in the early evening and try to get a group to adopt you just as they are leaving the hostel. If that fails you can go to one of the comedy evenings that pubs have in big cities.

Did it for a couple of months, just go to Germany dude, buy their 60 euro ticket for a month and explore the country

Also get a Wise card and Wise app for instant money exchange for any kind of country coin at a better rate than money exchange offices.

>>213543245 (OP)
Also if you are a typical britbong orc subhuman drunk tourist you should forget about apps and kys.

I am an adult virgin that is asking an anime website for travel advice, I am not the bog standard beer guzzling slag shagger m8

>>213543245 (OP)
If you want to do any touristy stuff in rome I think you have to book really early (vatican museum etc.) because everything is booked out for several months in advance iirc

>>213544095
Oh ok then I hope my tips help you.

Starling Bank is better than Wise. Fee-free ATM withdrawals abroad.

>>213544142
I mean its also fee-free if you have money in your wise from the perspective country. Its literally one card for all the country coins in the world and instant money exchange via the app. Its literally impossible to get fees for it.

>>213543245 (OP)
Oh yea if you plan to sleep outside or in a tent you should absolutely have a foam mattress, even more important than sleeping bag. You will not be able to sleep without a foam mattress to insulate from the cold seeping into your body through the outside surface. I had about 3-4 hours of sleep in 3 days on a mountain cause I was a dumbass and thought only sleeping bag is good enough. I was stumbling my way through some pretty narrow paths by the third day.

>>213544983
I mean when of these. Dont know how they are called in bongistani.

>>213544983
Do I need a camping loicens to sleep a night on private land?
Are there frequent public camping grounds?
Do gas stations offer toilets to passing cyclists?
Can I book and check into hostels at the door?

>>213543667
it's is not for most of the people,it's actually fun, you walk during the morning and spend the rest of they day drinking and chatting with other pilgrims

>>213545329
idk if I sleep outside its on a beach or a wooded area in the countryside. I travelled from paris to orleans on foot and I just went to the nearest wooded area outside a village and slept there.

I dont know about the rest of your questions. I only ever booked in advance. If you are lucky that they have a free room I guess you can book then and there.

Also another tip if you go backpacking on mountains, some of them have shepperds and shepperd huts. If it is off-season for shepperds then they are not there and you can just go in and stay there. Just dont be an asshole with the place.

This is specifically for carpathian mountains. Dont know how it would play out in a more western country.

Go to Prague and hit up a brothel

Very good advice.
My brother who's very introvert and shy decided to do something like you last year, he went to a solo trip to Belgium, alone. I was scared he would feel lonely because with solo trip it's a hit or miss, depending if you find people to tag along, but he had a great time thanks to the hostelworld app.
Basically it's an group chat that puts you in contact with other people that are solo traveling in the same area, so you can talk with them and join groups if they're making a pub crawl, going to a museum, a park, and so on, it's all solo travelers so it's people eager to meet new people. He even got laid once and believe knowing my brother that's a massive feat.

Otherwise you can try the classic way of meeting people when solo travel which is >>213543903 but it's a luck dependant strategy and you have to be somewhat extrovert to make it happen.

Good luck anon, try to post on /trv/ for advices, it's a slow board but full of nice people

Are you sure its the same app as the one Im talking about? This one is just to search a place and it will give you the hostels and hotels in the area and you can book from the app or search for cheaper prices in other sites if you feel like it. Dont really know if it has group chat features.

btw inb4 you end up as rape meat in a gypsy hole cause my posts compelled you.

Im travelling full shiczho solo hobomaxxing but Im male with mma training and I carry a knife and dont care if I die. Its on you if you freeze on a mountain(btw set up tent or arrive at a cabin before the sun is out or else you will regret it, speaking from experience).

>>213546207

Yes, that's the app you're talking about. But the difference is that until some years ago hostelworld was just another tool to find rooms and hotels like booking, trivago and Airbnb, but recently they put this new feature that is a real game changer for people who are solo traveling

>>213546925
Oh cool. Not for me, solo schizo autism is the best, but I can see the appeal.

Let's all have an /int/ meet up at the pantheon

>>213547515
No way. If a certain argentian appears I will go to prison for murder.

Holy shit I just looked up the place and it just reeks of obnoxious bongistanicels.

>>213547926
>bongistanicels
Obnoxious anglocels in general. Pic related. Anyways goodnight. Hope my spam helped you somewhat.
