Poland: I love pirog. So my fav xp from there is just walking around in Warsaw, looking at the high buildings and eating pirogs.
Czech: Only traveled through with train, but some parts of the journey when you travel near the river is very idillic.
Hungary: I live here so I have a lot of xp, shouldn't choose a favorite.
Hey guys im going to brazil in 2 days,especifically Rio.
Any cool things to do apart of going to the beach?
hellz yeah, tons of stuff. near the beach go to the hippie flea market, the cafe about the girl from ipanema, the botanic garden, sugarloaf mountain aerial tram, the santa theresa tram up to the favelas & go check out downtown and the old part of downtown - time that for around workday happy hours. the subway is new and sleek use it and explore.
I would highly recommend visiting Vidigal. climb up to dois irmaos and get the best view of Rio de Janeiro ever
Urbexing in the favelas at night is a ton of fun
Hello /trv/
I keep it simple, i will walk along Amazon river in my lifetime, probably somewhere between 2020-2022. I just started planning and preparing.
For now i need to decide whether to start in Belem and go to river source, or the other way.
Also, can anyone experienced in such journeys can give me estimated amount of money i need to buy supplies beforehand.
All tips, tricks, questions and stuff greatly appreciated.
You want to walk along the Amazon by yourself? How far are you expecting to go?
Because that river is twice the length of the Appalachian Trail but with a worse climate, horrible terrain and far less opportunity to get out/get supplies. And it will take you at least six months, probably a year.

Ed Stafford did it. I remember reading an article about it a few years ago so I googled it. He's an ex-British Army officer and SAS. It took him over two years and is considered pretty much the most extreme expedition anyone has done in modern times. Just so you know what you are getting yourself into.
Try /out/, also bring a pack mule.

>>when you miss your flight
Dude, I have missed so many flights over the years....
Ideally, they're not no-refund e-tickets and you just get the next one.
Otherwise, you pull out your card, slap it down and tell them to get you on the next flight to Paris.
How the fuck do you miss a flight?
I'm the most disorganised procrastinating fuck around and I have never even come close to doing this.
I'm a Britfag. I'd love to live in Canada or Scandanavia. Anybody got any tips?
Stay in britain
All hail the queen
Is it as shitty as the rest of Canada?
the whole country sucks
Hi /trv/!
After years of lurking , I make my first entry:
I will travel to San Diego, California (especially pic related), for 3 weeks. I have a place to sleep, and maybe a car. Could You recommend me some places and programs, that's not in the travel guides? something authentic, something special.
(25yo man, middle europe <not slavic> )
I am not interested in drugs, hookers, and parties.
Some of my interests:
-Whale watching (Have I any chance to see whales, or it's just an overpriced sailing?)
-SAnDiego Zoo and safari
-shitton...

Go to the wild animal park. Old historic San Diego is good and definitely the natural history museum by balboa park.
Needless bump,but some less specific question:
How do you transfer money on journey? I dont want handel 1,500 bucks in cash. I know, its not so much,but what about the other /trv/ers, who backpacks through the whole far east region,through months?
So /trv/... What should you aim for when travelling, specially when backpacking, and with a limited amount of time.
Depth or quantity? As in visiting as many locations as possible, or doing fewer, but throughly.
I'm currently debating on experiencing several countries instead of staying in two, for the span of a month.
That depends entirely on what you want to get out of the trip. Either way is valid, there is no One True Way. There is no "should."
One thing to watch out for is the idea that staying on one side of a border means you got more "in depth" into an area -- sometimes, to get the "in depth" experience it might even be helpful to cross that border.

What about Asia.
I have 15 days, starting in Bangkok, before I start an internship in the UK.
I was thinking about checking out northern Thailand, then heading to Vietnam, and finally Burma. Thing is I saw a thread today where an anon was discussing the same itinerary (minus Burma) in a little less time, and I though that there is a lot to see.
Bangkok already is a huge city with a lot to offer. Not only that, but Chian Mai is close by. Same with Vietnam. Theres Saigon, and Hanoi to see.

I've done both very quick trips to many locations and slower paced visits to just a few, and although I usually prefer fewer places for longer duration, each style has certain advantages. If, for example, you won't be able to travel again for a long time, or you're unlikely to be in a region again, a higher-speed, drive-by sort of travel obviously offers tiny samples of a lot of places. But feeling rushed may make the whole thing less enjoyable.
All other things being equal, I very rarely want...

Hi /trv/, I am in Europe for 3 months and I want to visit as many natural wonders as possible anywhere in Europe (preferably more western Europe).
What are great spots for walks, hikes, and just spectacular views?
The French/Swiss/Austrian alps have some pretty beautiful scenery, but I've not been there since I was a child so I can't really recommend any places in particular. If you're there right now it's ski season, so things like hiking aren't so easy. Also, it's worth bearing in mind that these places are expensive - they're the holiday destination of choice for rich Western Europeans.
If you are able to go a bit further east, I'd definitely recommend Bled and Bohinj in Slovenia, and Plitvice and Krka in Croatia.

Corsica is pretty great. High mountains from which you can see up to the see on the top, high altitude lakes, cristal clear water with pink cliffs...
The Alps of course, but the Pyrenees must not be understimated either
That's mostly mountains tho I could list some great canyons in France too.
>>1072196
>which you can see up to the see on the top
I totally fucked that sentence somehow
I meant from which you can see up to the sea
Also pic related the French Alps
Hi
got an internship offer in bogota and im wondering if its worth it or too dangerous ? im a white female
If the opportunity is good then it's worthy; Bogota is a first world city for the most of it and unless you wander into the slums there is no danger.
A lot of people is white there so you won't stand out as much as you think, plus Colombian women are extremely hot so that will make it easier for you as well
You will obviously have to learn the precautions needed to prevent pickpocketing, muggery and other wonderful experiences normal in most Latin American countries
>>1071407
Thanks for the reply
the "most dangerous" country i've been to so far is Nicaragua. How would the situation compare with colombia?
>>1071430
Bogotá is much safer in my experience, I don't know about other cities in Colombia but I've never heard bad things about them
Hey, I'm a high school student who is looking for a new backpack, and this is the best place I can think of. I need something I could carry around school and not look like an idiot while doing so, and I am also planning on doing a lot of traveling for the next 6 months or so. I need something waterproof, very reliable, and has a lot of space. I would like for it do be under 80 bucks.

Lvl 24 reporting in. I'm going to visit Rome with my gf for 5 days. I'd love to see some advice, tips or tricks on how to have a worthwhile experience there. Any nice places to see, restaurants with delicious food? Plz don't tell me vanilla stuff like:
>visit Colloseum
>eat pizza
>drink wine and coffe
>fuck children with pope
Anything about Rome is welcome desu.
Trevi fountain, but go there in night. Also roman forum, pantheon. Watch out for dirty people who want sell you selfie sticks and others. Dont let them give you anything because they tell you its free and later they want from you money.
Going to be stuck in wichita for four months..... any fun things to do... i imagine ill be sitting in a bar most of the time
In Wichita here, what do you like to do?
sadly pretty much just drinking and skating, i come from a community with a large medical marijuana feeling around town, im assuming people smoke there but openly?
>>1072803
where are you from? Marajuana is good, and really simple to find
Do you keep a travel journal?
I'm considering doing it for my next trip. Why? The other day a friend of mine asked me for tips on what to do on Mallorca. I was there for two weeks three months ago, and I can't remember shit.
Plus, it might be fun to read when I'm older.
No, but it sounds like a cool idea.
I did on my last trip to Nepal which was my first long solo trip.
I find it pretty therapeutic, getting thoughts and feelings out on paper and I read through it last week in anticipation of the trip I'm on now around South America. Yes it kept a nice record and reminded me of things I had forgotten, both written and not.
Have the same journal with me now and keeping wary of having it just be an event recorder. I find the best entries are the ones that give a clear view of my mind set instead of just saying what I did.
I tend to keep a journal anyway...

I try to take video snippets/pictures and then put them together in a short vacation video. So that's kind of my "journal"

Is there anyone here who uses portable transportation like folding bikes, roller blades, scooters, and skateboards to get around foreign cities?
I've always thought it would be a good idea to pack something like a folding bike or roller blades into your airplane luggage and use it to see a city. It looks very convenient and cheap to have transportation like this instead of having to walk, take the bus, or rent a car.
I was thinking of just renting bikes, but now this got me thinking of bringing my skateboard instead to save me some extra cash.
>>1072467
With fees most airlines charge for oversized luggage and special items, prolly rental is better.
I love a Segway tour. They're pretty fun. Guided too. Done them in 8 citites now. I highly recommend D.C. and San Francisco. Miami Beach is near the top as well.
Surly makes a couple frames with s&s couplings in the middle of the frame, and you can take it apart and pack it into a bag that can be checked on a plane.
