i travel to experience a different culture and understand them better, also take the opportunity to see beautiful stuff in the country (landscape or man-made)

Can't see foreign monuments and documentaries on Youtube for free, that's for sure...gotta fly over there, and look at it yourself and take a shit picture with your phone if you want the truth
I can see the appeal of it in theory but I'm way to much of a homebody to enjoy it myself.
I'd rather have a nice piece of land to fuck around on and improve over the years and make perfect and then put a big fucking fence around it with a gang of angry dobermans and guns and just tell everyone to fuck off forever.
Should've been born a yank desu.

>>80726948
why would you ever leave your own backyard then? you can see your country's shit monuments online as well. just sit in a den for the rest of your life.
travelling is important to create a perspective of different cultures
but obviously it should be done with no social media and no hotels, as cheap as possible
there's a difference between tourism/resort and travelling imo

I got married and honeymooned in Hawaii. It was some of the 10 best days of my life. I'm still jealous when I think that some people get to live there. Maui was great, Honolulu wasn't so great.

>>80724887
There are many different motivations to travel, m8. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself though.
Travelling to different places is pretty awesome but just like so many other things people turn it into some kind of prop to prove how cultured and great they are.
They do it just so they can say they've been to places, tell some boring anecdote about "Oh when i was in ____" to seem interesting in conversations or make it part of their life story that "When itravelled in India i really found myself! Tee hee"
You can have lots of great experiences when travelling, see things you've never seen before. But do it for yourself and not so you can show off on social media or pretend like it was some life changing experience.

I've been to almost all of western Europe now.
What I enjoy is visiting historical sites, trying local foods and learning about our shared heritage. Honestly before it's all gone.
I'm kicking myself over not going to Palmyra before ISIS blew most of it up. I had an opportunity.
I managed to get into Turkey just before the bombs started going off there.
We're fighting people who are iconoclasts and who hate the western influence anywhere they are. Don't be surprised to see them bomb or deface major museums or landmarks.

I enjoy going outside and seeing places/events.
Sure, you could look at photographs or watch youtube videos, but i like having agency. You cant really admire the grand canyon fully if you aren't the one controlling the view, you know?
I dont take any pictures of any of my vacations. I dont drink on vacation.
I've traveled to every state in the US plus Mexico and Canada because of my job. I've learned that you don't need to travel to get "experiences". People travel to get a small break from their shitty lives once or twice per year for a few days. Instead, they should be working on changing their lives today, tomorrow, and every day afterwards. Happiness starts at home. Traveling the world is escapism.
I just want to motorcycle through Ireland and also go see the Swiss Alps. I couldn't care less about pictures. That's it. Once my divorce is final it shall be.

Traveling makes you understand the world far better than reading any amount of (international) newspapers or foreign television or talking to shitheads on the internet.
After I finished my studies I've been backpacking for about 6 months on a minimum amount of money. If you just hop from one tourist destination to the other then you don't see anything but global consumer culture. The less money you have available the better the trip, I think.
You should put some amount aside to visit museums and so on, though.
If you go abroad to get wasted you are doing it wrong.

EH. I don't know man I think you're reaching.
My wife and I do a lot of traveling, inside and outside the United States as often as possible. Occasionally we'll hit up an area specifically because it's a party spot (Prague and Berlin during our honeymoon), but most time's its for a cultural immersion experience (underground restaurants in Tokyo, 5 hour long dinner in Florence).
Traveling is awesome for two reasons:
1) If you smile enough and are sociable enough, you'll learn a lot about how other people live, taking the best of their attitudes and incorporating it into your mentality.
2) As AMAZING as some other countries are, ANY international travel will alllllwayssss remind you why the United States is unquestionably the greatest country in the fucking world and you should be damn glad that you live there.

>>80727913
Americans don't get enough time off each year to travel properly. They tend to study in work in places other than where their families live, so they spend a lot of time traveling to meet up with family each year (like over Thanksgiving). Nationalist school curricula don't help either -- you get Americans who can name the capital of every US state but can't name the major countries in Europe. I'm Australian and have genuinely had Americans here ask me about the Alps and about how good I must be at skiing.
The most basic reason for travel is that it stops you from being an ignorant fuck about the rest of the world. It makes you more aware of how global histories have intersected to create the particular circumstances of your own upbringing. It also shows you obviously some of the ways your own wealth (as a Westerner) is reliant on the poverty of others.
People who dislike travel usually have small minds. The one great exception is John Mandeville, who wrote his amazing "Travels" without ever leaving his small village in England.
Ironically, I was a liberal cuck until I started travelling more...
My girlfriend is from Eastern Europe, I travel across Europe every year and spend about a month there, and I see the difference between East and West. I work with people from places like Bangladesh and Kashmir, who have childhood experiences that can only be described as extremely painful.
If travelling doesn't make you racist or question how things are where you live, then you're doing it wrong.
Liberals only go to 1) the nice places, 2) shitholes like India, which they romanticize because they're not actually living there, and get to use that sweet Western Capitalist currency to get the good experience.
>>80731069
I don't think you understood me.
I really hate that glorified hole in the ground. I don't give a fuck about any white water rafting there may be, there are plenty places to do that. The Grand Canyon is bullshit.
I'm very wealthy, so when I was younger traveling was the standard option after A-Levels, during university and after university. The more ridiculous and obscure the better. Usually you would start out with InterRailing, before progressing onto Thailand. Then you would hear about some other third world hellhole being "incredible" and you would get there. You would spend your time there, all of it, with other rich British and American kids. If you wanted to score some political or social brownie points you might rent a car or a motorbike and go and meet the locals. This is where you would take most of your photos to show your family and friends back home, not you fingering the Fulbright Scholar from Northwestern in the disabled toilets of the Bangkok Hilton.
It dawned on me when I was about 22 that I was essentially doing the same thing as people who I considered to be below me, except instead of Benidorm I was in Lech.
Traveling is great fun and you can have an excellent time, but the idea that it makes you more intelligent or appreciative is farcical. So is the tiresome trend of going to the most dilapidated, backward places possible and calling it "untouched" or "traditional".

They either go to shitholes to prove how in touch they are to their dinner party friends, or to try and convince themselves that they understand how the rest of the world lives.

If you don't do it, you wont get it. It is an education unlike any other. I have learned and grown the most in my life as a result of travel (it literally turned me from an autistic neckbear to awesome pussy slaying world travelling mountaineer).
There is a big difference between a canned vacation to the bahamas and trekking across Nepal for a month. That said, do what you enjoy and don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. I have lived abroad for most of my adult life and would not trade it for anything.
I lived for 2 years in senegal when I was younger because of my dad job.

>There is a big difference between a canned vacation to the bahamas and trekking across Nepal for a month
Yes, the difference is that people will look down their nose at you for doing the first one despite it having much more merit as a holiday. You can relax, swim, eat well, drink well, have fun, read a book, properly relax. That's what you want to do when you're running a business or have worked hard all year.
I've done all the inane bullshit. I've been to Peru, Bolivia, Cambodia, India, Morocco, all the third world places and I have the gaudy souvenirs to prove it. There is nothing admirable whatsoever about going to a shithole. It might seem great when you're in your 20s and think trips are measured on how few people have heard of the place, but when you get older it changes.
The best holiday I ever had was last year. We drove from Puglia, through Italy, into Austria, across into Switzerland through Liechtenstein and down into France for the Monaco GP. I spent about £55,000 in total and it was probably the most fun I've had as an adult.

Everyone stay in your own faggot countries, if you want to learn about Muh Culture fucking read a book or go on the internet. People fail to realize travel is a huge part of the "Global economy" these satanic niggers are building. Think about it for one min, If 80% of the people that travel for work and pleasure stopped for a while it would hurt the global elite very much and also TSA would be out of a job because it would cost way more to fund them than the job they are doing. Boycott the fucking planes M8.
>>80732507
Yeh I understand this, though honestly i still respect people who do world travel as their holidays etc than those who go to a Spanish/Greek island to drink twice a year, or maybe NYC which seems to be the current normie meme. Though I have lots of people on FB who seem to spend months and months hanging around in Asian, African and South American places and it sometimes seems a bit off to me about it.
I do like to travel though and its my main expense and I try to go at least twice a year since i did the interrail meme at 19. I usually just to places i really like so have done Japan twice (20 days a time), Seoul for a week and I go to Italy and France once a year usually just for 4/5 nights and eat some food and go to the cathedrals really. I don't really feel the need to spend shittones of cash to go to the jungle or a run down village, I go for nice buildings and nice restaurants.

If we went somewhere it had to be the most """authentic""" experience possible. Usually that meant no electricity in a deep jungle. The more primitive the better. But then they would still have to have some of the western comfort things. Like we went to this bumfuck nowhere village and slept at this dude's house. In the morning oh man we 100% need to brush our teeth, oh yeah we're so sorry clean water is in limited supply for you let us brush our teeth in it too. You'd then slip them a 20 euro bill or equivalent to feel good about yourself and maybe say something like "oh those people have it hard, think about how good you have it kids", leave and never come back because really you never gave a fuck. I hated being in places like that. The people there often seemed to be more bothered by our presence than anything else like we were forcing ourselves on them.

You stupid piece of shit that's not the grand canyon. I used to live down the road from that place, it's called horseshoe bend. It's right behind a god damned walmart that i used to work at.
Other than that you're right, there's already so much shit in our country we really don't need to leave to experience 90% of what the world has to offer.
Traveling is nice if you experience when you cant experience at home, beaches, sun, skiiing or culture, and dont get assraped by prices.
Dont buy into every meme though. Many places are tourist traps (england, france, spain).

Is Hardywood selling outside the city yet? It's the only thing I miss about that place besides all the Civil War shit scattered around.

Yeah, it's an ugly crossover of narcissistic virtue signalling and this noble, albeit misinformed, internal yearning that most people have to feel like they did something good in the World.
like >building muh ethiopian school
... Yeah, it's a shame Africans have to rely on 20 year old gap year students to build their education centers...

I dont undertand it either, just simple minds
The only reason to go to another countrys is to do something you cant do in your own, like skiing
>>80724887
Travelling to the amazon forest and dipping in the waters, besides the thousands of things that can kill you sound pretty nice
>>80732507
I don't get why people travel for status. Travel is fun because you get to experience something new with people you cherish. Just like people who go clubbing for girls instead of having ffun with your mates I feel you're doing it wrong.

America is pretty cool though, just don't go to the big cities. Instead check out the national parks like Yellowstone or Glacier Bay, the continent has some amazing landscapes and environments that are far more interesting than some crowded shithole like nyc or san fran

I always plan on traveling to another country a year in advance and about 8 months before I end up buying a new Firearm or something actually tangible. For vacations I usually take road trips within the U.S.
Traveling is for retards and the extremely rich.
>>80734196
i'm going to aus next month to take a course in shitposting. Anything i must see?
>>80724887
I was fortunate to travel a lot when I was younger. My grandfather would take me for a month or two to a foreign land on summer break. He was a professor and studied culture. Big time people watcher.
He made sure to try and get me to experience cultures far different than mine, meaning no western Europe. Tibet was pretty neat.
Those are the reasons to travel. To actually see the world and experience it. There's a lot out there, and pictures don't do any of it justice.
I love to travel. It's cool to be the person discovering another culture. Even if its not as rad and dangerous as being an 19th century explorer there's still a lot of fish out of water going on. Try travelling to inner China or Kazahstan or South America etc. Travelling is about getting out of the 9 to 5 and enjoy yourself while living a minimalistic life. Real travelling is like being a hobo.
Going with your friends to get drunk is not really "travelling" in my book, its just having a holiday.
Late summer I'm going to Cuba, and after that I'm gonna take the Trans Siberian Railway to Beijing. Travelling isnt necessarely about fucking and drinking but you get to do those too.
My dream is to go to North Korea, its just so different I wanna see it.
For people with little adventurer feelings travelling might be boring, but I enjoy not knowing what wacky situations the next day might bring. A "normal" life is not for me, I get bored, depressed and apathetic when I do the same shit every day.
>>80724887
I always laugh at the Germans and Czechs for spending hours in traffic just to be roasted by the sun in my country.
Their women mostly come here to fuck so it's okay.

It's a part of glen canyon which they turned part of into a lake, lake powell.
>>80734541
>Trans Siberian Railway
I always wanted to do that. Can you get on and off in the small towns or is it once you are on, you cant get off?
I went to UK and Republic of Ireland about 2 years ago. I studied history as one of my degrees in college (don't worry, I also earned a chemistry degree), so it was nice to see some of the sites. Had some friends in England too.
Don't recommend traveling for drinking/food though. You can find most forms of alcohol or food somewhere in America.
>>80734321
I feel like I need to travel the US before going abroad again. I haven't really been out west other than Washington, travelling around the Cascades made me feel like I could achieve my dream of being a serial killer.
>>80734057
Skiing is probably the only time where I think more obscure = good.
I realise Lech isn't obscure but Vorarlberg, and the rest of Austria really, is full of excellent ski resorts that knock the spots out of anything in France, Italy and Switzerland. Very few British and Americans there, low prices, beautiful villages and good food.
I was in Warth last winter and stayed around the Lech, Warth and Zurs area. You can smoke indoors, the women are beautiful, no gap year twats, no "chalet girls" from Guildford, no Arabs and most importantly you aren't in some hideous concrete jungle. I got dragged to Zermatt a few years back and not only was it shite, it was full of the worst people imaginable (Arabs, beginners, people called Henry and Imogen from the Home Counties). Don't even get me started on Val d'Isere, which is legitimately the worst place in the modern world.
It baffles me why families blow ten grand in Tignes when they could ski in better resorts, stay in a better hotel, eat better food and have a nicer time basically anywhere in Austria for half the price. I'm made of money and I'd never go skiing in Switzerland or France again, it's simply not worth it.
>>80734325
Nah not dancing with each other but don't know the correct english word for it but maybe a frenchbro can translate. Taquiner. I think it translates to prank or some shit like that.
>>80734326
Dakar, it was around ~2002.
Sand everywhere, guy trying to scam you everywhere, no fucking rain, power outage all the time...
I read some stuff about dakar a couple of month ago saying they still have regular power outage. After the fuckton of money that has been given to them to fix it.
You cant help those people, and even if you could the majority is fine with their country being a sandy shithole.
The one who dont like it just move in to France, making it their new shithole. Just with less sand.

don't do it, you'll literally die.
all my russian friends told me to never do it, it's literally a trap.
don't say I haven't warned you if you still go for it.
>>80734690
Its very complicated, like buying train tickets in general in Russia. You can, but then you need a new ticket etc.
You might just wanna stick to the train and meet all the other weirdos and hobos and locals. You get free tea and probably learn a bit of Russian.
>>80724887
Traveling is really one of the shittiest memes there is. If you really want to "experience" a foreign country, move there, get a job, and live there for at least half a year. Tourism "experience" is literally flushing money down the drain.
>>80724887
jesus christ my gf is obsessed with travelling so fucking much and it fucking boggles my mind
>I want to taste food from all over the world
you can do that here for many thousands of pounds less
>I want to experience other cultures
what exactly does that mean? dancing? music? what are you actually getting and what does 'experiencing' another culture mean?
>I want to see beautiful scenery
sure okay, but you know there's a fuckton of beautiful scenery in EVERY country, even the one we're in right now and can view for virtually nothing
>Travelling is fun
no it really isn't, it's expensive, time consuming, uncomfortable and boring
She keeps saying shit like this all the time, fuck me. I know I'll have to travel to some time in the future and it fucking kills me to think about it. Genuinely cannot wrap my head around why travelling is so great apparently.
>>80734690
You can get on and off.
It's borderline impossible to freely travel Russia for Americans without a guide or local friend right now though.
>>80734594
It's a large canyon on the colorado river that's part of grand canyon national park.
It's part of the grand canyon.
>>80734840
I have a friend who've done it, and I'm pretty sure he's alive. Russia being dangerous is a meme. Well Western Euro numales often get a surprise hit in the face because they have no regard for respect but Eastern Euros know how to talk to thugs and criminals so they actually get to like you instead of robbing you.
>>80734045
yeah
Koreans are a whole other ordeal. They visit 10 european countries in 12 days rushing from monument to monument with 60 other people they don't know. When korean meals aren't provided they consume some of the 100 cup ramyon they packed with them because eating anything non-korean is out of the question.
Maybe if they feel crazy and go to China/Japan they will dare eating local food but because they jewed out to get a cheaper tour they get shit food and come back telling you that Japanese sushis aren't good.
They come back and all they have is a bunch of generic pictures and they will say things like I really liked france when they spent 18 hours in paris.
It's the polar opposite of what I grew up with. The less contact they have with the local and the shorter it is the better.
Thankfully that's much less the case with the younger generation but they still love to do the whole visit 20 cities in 20 days, said cities being in 8 different countries, which is absolutely beyond me. Such a relentless way of travelling i just don't understand.
>>80734934
Sadly, all women want you to take them places, even when they're not actively emphasizing it. But your seems like she's too itchy to travel, she might dump you because of it.
>>80734934
just go to some all-in hotel near the red sea and get drunk for 5 days she'll love it
>>80724887
I think most cultures fucking suck, and the ones I do like I won't be traveling to because they are flooded with snackbars.
>thousands to drink in a foreign country.
100 % right. Fat middle class faggots getting an excuse to act like college kids.
However, I travel for the nature. I don't go see the fucking Taj Mahal or Eiffel tower, I get a small B and B near national parks/mountains and go hiking for a week. Find cool animals, see the majesty of the earth, even camp sometimes. I bring my own food and grocery shop, no restaurants. I do everything I can to not feed the travel industry jew. There's ways to do it, but to be honest USA fags can see some of the best nature in the world without leaving our country. Plus 75% of the world is dangerous and scummy for a first world white person with no survival skills.
>>80735036
then maybe it changed since it was many years ago that i was told not to do it.
>>80734803
Yeah I'm not talking about living there. My own shithole at least has stable power, water and police force. But going there with my bros back in college was fun. 4X4ing there was fun. Fuck staying in with the locals though because they will either scam you or try to rib you outright.
>people never wanted to travel the world before
>this is a totally new thing by millennial faggots
Exploring the world has been one of the greatest passions of mankind since forever, you retarded fuck. Just because libs jumped on it doesn't make it bad.
>>80734906
If you don't meme out your hard earned money what else are you going to do with it? Leave it in the bank so that they play with it in the stock market. Fuck that. Live like there is no tomorrow. Eat the best food, Buy the best things and fuck the best whores.
>>80735320
If it's just for tourism, you go to Saly. You wont see many locals and you can enjoy the beach.
But man, living there fucking sucked. Easily the worst 2 years of my life.

The main places she'd like to go to are various african countries. I know I'll probably get a lot of shit for this but she's actually originally from zimbabwe. She's completely naturalised by all accounts and she's a clear example of the difference between a nigger and a black person, but she wants to visit some of her extended family. It's gonna fucking get to me so much spending a lot of money to visit these shithole countries for some third cousins grandmother or something. Plus I fucking hate hot countries, give me a temperate climate like the UK any day, but fucking like 35 degrees celsius in september combined with varying humidity across the african continent seems like fucking hell to me.
>>80735279
If you wanna travel to third world places my only advice would be try to look like an experienced hobo backpacker instead of you know, a tourist. The less shit you have on yourself the better. So no cameras, no smartphone, have a bushy beard, cheap clothes and a good pair of shoes.
You'll be fine. Even in Africa. Also African being dangerous is a meme. Well except outside of the current warzones. Africans are very nice even if kind of simple. I felt way worse among niggers in Marseille than in AFrica.

Is anyone else conflicted about youth hostels? It's great to stay somewhere for $12 a night, but it feels like you're meeting the exact same people over and over again, even if you actively avoid the hostel events like pub crawls and shit. The people who always gave me the best impressions of a country are the old women, but they're impossible to find.

2 options
1. Dump the bitch 1488.
2. Be forced to go because i'm guessing she' not gonna drop it since it's ""family n sheit"" kek they will probably ask her for money in various ways.
>>80735726
Shit anon, if it's family you'll have to go eventually. If I were you I'd tell her we'll go once we get situated and settled, for now we can use the money for more important things.
And I feel you, it's 35c here now and I feel like banning fucking summer from existing, I hate it so fucking much.

Hoho! She's lucky, actually. I once met a woman at work who I later recognised in a newspaper article. She'd gone to Belize to do some charity nonsense, and ended up getting raped and murdered. Do gooders... If only this way of eliminating the soft out-group altruist genes could work FASTER.
I like visiting historical sites, see nature, taste foods etc.
And even though it might be the biggest cliché ever, being somewhere completely alien forces you to reflect on yourself and life.
>>80724887
It's not just liberals you faggot.
When I travel I like to go to famous landmarks, try local cuisine (actual local restaurants, not chain shit on the main streets), sight see, etc. etc.
I actually told my friends I won't be going on many holidays with them any more because the past couple of times we've just gone and gotten completely pissed, spending about £400 to do what we'd have been able to do for a hundred back at home.

I actually envy you. Had a freind who's father was an AirFrance pilot. The fucker would travel 3 times a year every vacation. I hope you're taking the chance anon.
To travel is to live. Variation, understanding and new experiences.
Only thing that's ruining travel is globalization.

Bottom square is horseshoe bend. Notice the green background. That's because it's within grand canyon national park.
Also: http://grandcanyon.com/planning/east-planning/horseshoe-bend-the-intimate-grand-canyon-experience/
Also, to fix another one of your mistakes. The top rectangle is where lake powell begins. Horseshoe bend is most definitely not included.
Are you done yet?
There was a thread yesterday about some Russian who wanted to take a trip and explore England. He linked us a Reddit thread where he asked questions, but he also included "I want to see a place that's not ethnic, meaning there's mostly Anglo-Saxons" and a bunch of reddit fags freaked out at him and started posting pictures of ethnic cities in England and saying "If this makes you mad don't come". When looking at these photos it honestly reminded me of the shitty cities here and are started to ask myself, if all these countries are the same as America, meaning consuming the same American entertainment and having the same types of people (a mixed ethnic shithole) why would I even bother to go? There just isn't going to be a distinct English culture if everyone shares a different culture.
>>80736862
Good for you, anon. This area is pretty based granted you have some money. It's not as wild and lawless as Ukraine or Russia but its way less cucked than most Western Countries. Only issue is money and annoying gypsies here.

They dumped a whole block of restaurants and hotels right along the southern rim in the 70's.
As I said before, putting paved roads in national parks was a mistake. It absorbs all the tax funding to maintain all the pavement and infrastructure, so they can barely afford to monitor anymore.
At least it's not like the old days where they actively encouraged people to feed bears.

Reminds me of Taj Mahal, its a fucking shithole (duh its in India) like 200 meters from it. They keep the shit outside but you can walk 300 meters in any direction and its good old India with shit everywhere and cows and trash.

Honestly escapism isn't even bad. Life is fucked and you're so minuscule that you won't realistically change anything in the grand scheme. Might as well forget and enjoy the moment.
Travelling is usually listed as their main hobby has a guise as they have no real interests and are boring people but at least they can tell you which country they've went to.
