ーJR Passー
Since JR has adjusted the prices for the pass, not really worth it anymore, unless you want to travel by train very extensively. You can plug in your itinerary in the links below and compare prices to the JR Pass.

With the increased price of the JR Pass, local train passes might be good deals now.

previous thread >>2833056

I’m thinking of moving to a metro area someplace between DC and Boston, inclusive.
Any advice?
I’m kinda introverted, like access to interesting talks on policy/tech/philosophy, like to be able to spend weekends outdoors, like high quality food/dining experiences.
I’m looking for a wife too. I’m really an independent or classical liberal but most people thought I was super conservative when I lived near an extremely left wing place several years ago. I want to be able to discuss policy and politics with open minded people who don’t think I’m Hitler or Pinochet because I agree with deporting illegals.
Help me out? Any advice? I’m open to pretty much anything near the east coast but DC-Boston area seems best.

Or Berlin ist scheisse.
Why is this city so hyped up?
Just returned from 4 day visit and it was a terrible let down.
Completely grey and soulless even for November, lots of ugly architecture, drug addicts and homeless everywhere. They even had little camps like in the states. Stench of urine all across the city.
Visited Museum Island, it was ok but nothing compared to British Museum or British National Gallery.
I am really surprised this city is hyped so much.
Frankfurt is better if you want modern city.
Dresden if you want history and beauty.
Munich for German food and beer.
Unless you are junkie I see no point in the It's terribly dirty and depressing.

I'm about to relocate here for my job and I really don't want to. Wtf even happens here?

Post your travel maps in this thread. Pic related is the official /trv/ Real Traveler's map™, edition 4.0.5

Fill in the countries and subdivisions you have visited, talk about your map and ask others about their maps. You can use the map however you like, the colors are more like suggestions, you don't have to use them, and you don't have to use all of them. You can add or remove colors and change the map as much as you want in any way you want. Don't like this map? Upload a completely different one. Up to you. Despite what some might say, there's no "wrong" way to use the map, and new posters and less travelled people are welcome and encouraged to stay and post :) This map is a group effort by our board, and we can only improve it if people reach out to share suggestions or corrections.

This is the newest edition of the map, edition 4.0.5, updated for September 2025. Thanks to an Anon in the previous thread, it is now easier than ever to fill in the map. You can use the website splored.com to easily color in entire countries with a single click. At the time of making this thread, it uses the old 4.0.4 template, so you still need to update it to 4.0.5 with the simplified template, but hopefully Anon will update the website after I make this thread.

Topic for this thread: Should we have a Real Traveler's Discord? Just something I've been thinking about. I don't use Discord myself, so it's not important to me, but it could be nice to have a hangout for the regulars or a "backup" in case 4chan goes down again or somewhere to share subdivision news if there's no thread up. Just interested in hearing your opinions on this.

Discussion of Asian Cities and recommendations on which one to visit next.

I've been to Taipei and Tokyo and thought Taipei was the best city I have been to in the world. The food was great, the people were friendly, and the day trips were so much fun. Looking to go there again next year but am unsure of which city to pair it with. My options are Kyoto, Seoul, and Singapore for about 4-5 days. Looking for a place with solid food, somewhere relatively easy to navigate, and something with just good vibes all around.

what happens on Maines many islands?
what is life like there?
Mt Desert Island is pretty big but there are a lot more that are smaller.
i know some are private but what about the ones with towns/communities?

How does he travel to dangerous places and not get robbed or attacked?

big ass stupa edition

I'm planning my next trip to Japan and seeing all the JAPAN IS DESTROYED BY MIGRANTS content is really demoralizing.

I'm starting to believe that those are just washed up english teachers who failed their fucking life and who want to gatekeep Japan only for them.

Sup /trv/ never made a thread like this before

Been living in Hawaii for a few years ready to move somewhere livable. I've traveled all over Asia and West coast due to bidding on cheap flights/standby tickets. Ready to settle down and work some easy 9-5 job or bartend out there or something after years of scamming tourists. Are houses actually this fucking cheap?

Deadass set on WV because I've seen snow before and fucking love it

Where should I go in Northern California, outside of the Bay area/half moon bay (already done that a bunch of times). What's worth seeing? I like wine, hiking, art, coffee, kayaking, etc. I'm also looking to meet new people and make friends out there.

>Passport (duh)
>Travel Adapter
>Laundry Bag
>Reading Material (for layovers and in-flight)

Any other suggestions for a first-time traveler?

Heading back to Japan in two weeks, and I had a question. I've been to American Pharmacy Marunouchi, and I've got to ask, what does a bottle of Witch Hazel look like? pic unrelated.

>nearly 20
>need to study/work in Asia and get the fuck out of the midwest as soon as possible
>deadlines coming up if not already closed
>deadlines for scholarships mostly closed
Is it possible to become an English teacher somehow in an asian country without a degree? Is there a way they could cover travel expenses if I give them something in return like working or something? Is there any possible way? Do I start a fucking gofundme? I’ve been applying to jobs there already and making a resume. I need to make this work. I am not waiting another fucking year for college, and I need to move out within a month, tops

Anyone ever quit their job to travel for an extended period of time? Should I? Or is it too late for me at 26?
My current job is bullshit, low paying, idk what my future is, and I kinda just wanna die. I do get PTO, but it's only enough for like, 2 week long trips a year. It's just not enough time to see all the places I want to. I have massive FOMO and am jealous of all the 20 year olds who traveled the whole world in between college semesters. I want to catch up, but I fear it'll be hard to recover if I do now.
What are your thoughts on quitting a job to travel? Also what do you think the budget would be for like, 4-6 months of full time travel be? I have 55K USD in savings

Are the days of cheap travel permanently over?

>food you like
>underrated places
>things to do
>vietnam long-term visa situation

Last thread reached the bump limit.

Discussion for all things Philippines.

The good, the great, and the awesome.

Only locals allowed, any coomer talk or negativity will result in immediate permaban and blacklisting, you have been warned.

Tell me some cool, interesting, funny, scary, or in any way memorable things that happened to you while traveling.

Is it worth it?

I'm thinking about going in january/february/march since flights are cheaper and it won't be overcrowed with normies.
But is it worth it? Are all museums open in winter?

Any of you fucking Germs want to tell me which Sauerkraut smelling, Weisswurst-Brezel & Hendl eating, Krustenbraten-Semmel munching, Quarkbällchen swallowing, Topfenkuchen slurping, Jagdpfandl belching fat white deceptive nigger came up with this garbage? I already payed in advance on booking.com and it stated tax was included in the price. Even after payment it says I neednt pay anything at check in. The hotel writes me and says they will add 15% of my price as Übernachtungssteuer.

How do you people get months off at a time to travel? Most employers only let you take off 2-3 weeks in a row. Are you all rich NEETs?

Is there something more scary than nightclub fire? Imagine yourself solo-travelling, just being in wrong place in wrong time, then next minute you are awfully burned laying suffering on the street, dying very painful and very slow death, thousands of kilometers from family or anyone who speaks your language, totally dependent on awful healthcare of shithole country you are in. It's totally random, no fault of your own, it still happens from time to time and hundreds of people can be injured (great pain) in one such fire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colectiv_nightclub_fire
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croma%C3%B1%C3%B3n_nightclub_fire - almost 1500 innocent people injured and in great suffering...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C4%8Dani_nightclub_fire - 2025, Macedonia is well known cheap solo-traveller destination...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santika_Club_fire - Bangkok NYE nightclub fire - scary especially for me , because i spend last year in BKK 4-floors nightclub with people tightly pressed in corridors - roof exit blocked etc.
How close i was from potential tragedy? How close you were from such tragedy, what do you think?

Has anyone visited many of these? I've been to a lot of US National Parks, but not many in Canada. Looking at this map some look pretty remote. What's the point of having so many that you can only get to by plane? (I know that's not the reason to designate an area, but you still need people to visit them to make a point of having them). At least a dozen of those are practically impossible to visit without expensive charter planes and even if you could there are literally no facilities like camping grounds or towns to get supplies.

Where to travel to if seeking extreme danger? (white male w/ Canadian passport)

Q&A time..

When I was younger I was super jealous of my friends who got to go to Disneyland every year. When I brought it up to my parents they'd laugh and say it was a waste of money. Now that I'm an adult and have disposable income I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to go for a few days to see what I missed. Can someone give me a non middle aged woman with disney brain worms perspective on what it'd be like for someone with no children? Is it true that people are paying the price of a nice australian or european vacation to wait in lines all day and buy $30 burgers? I like smaller amusement parks (think myrtle beach) but have never been to anything larger.

what is Laos like?

All Airbnbs should offer complimentary percocets the way they do little travel bottles of shampoo.
Also, have you ever received a negative review for leaving an Airbnb you stayed at a mess or another reason?
Also,
>check out time is at 11am
What happens if I leave at 11:05
or 11:15?
Does someone knock? Call me? Do I get a negative review? Charged a fee? Do they call police? It's all so weird.

>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?
/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.
>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?
Absolutely! Disney/Universal discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.

Hello,

I’m working on a project, and your travel story is key! To get started, I need lots of your personal stories. I want to immerse myself in what people feel and experience, how they deal with important moments, and what they learn from them.

The stories will be published (anonymously) on the project’s website, which is why we ask for email verification: simply to ensure that each story comes from a real person. You won’t receive any spam or strange messages, just the confirmation email.

What to write about:

Tell me about a real experience that has had an impact on you. It could be about a trip that you learned something or a trip that had change your life in some way

Try to explain how you felt, what you learned, when it happened, and who you were at the time.

If you want to participate, you can leave your story here (anonymously)

https://forms.gle/iyMVXWzzbWV9G4c86

Thank you for taking the time to share something of yours!

Every story counts and helps build something very beautiful.

Melbourne has been voted the best city in the world based on liveability, food, nightlife and culture. In your experience, is Melbourne really that good?

Going to Germany next month, but still undecided on wtf I should do.
Should I spend a few days in Berlin area, then head down south to Munich area for final days, OR should I focus entirely on Northeastern Germany and just do day trips to all the cities near Berlin?
I have 10 days.

Also general Germany thread

No tourists there/here. I'm so glad they still exist. Like huge regions. Not telling.
Anyone else gatekeeping some great spots?
>No tell edition

Has anyone gone as far as going full yellow face in Asia?

Considering most people already wear masks in winter, if you are already slender, you wear a mask + cap + get some yellow tinted foundation and either squint your eyes or wear thick glasses, is it possible to look full asian?

Spending a week a friend's house in Venetto Italy. Went to Venice, Bologna, Rovigo, Verona, Revana, Forli.
Pros:
- Not insanely hot
- Amazing Food
- Beer is not as bad as I thought it woul be.
- Everyone looks good, the wops are actually white.
- Surprisingly affordable if you aren't dumb.
- People are ridiculously friendly, not used to this since I grew up with southerners and they're absolute scum.
- Verona is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.
- Trains are decent.

Cons:
- Niggers
- Jeets
- Abduls
- High Taxes if one were to live here.

Is it worth going to Florence tomorrow? Is it worth moving to Verona? For context, I am white with blue eyes.

What's the point of expensive hotel rooms?
I don't mean suites I mean a basic room in an expensive hotel is basically the same as a cheap motel

Which countries have the best communes?

I'm visiting The Netherlands for the second time, looking to explore more of the country outside of Amsterdam. Already got Haarlem, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Delft in mind, but are there any other places worth visiting for a day trip? I'm split between staying in The Hague or Rotterdam, idk which one is more interesting desu.

Got 8 nights total!

Anyone been?
fuck I really want to ride a motorcycle in Georgia... I'm thinking of getting one and driving from western Europe to Georgia through Turkey. Sounds fucking rad, please tell me i'm wrong and shouldn't start planning such a trip (i give myself 5 years including getting a motorcycle license and learning to drive that thing first)?
