I'm visiting Orlando with family and I'll be in the area for another week or so.
So far we've done a bunch of tourist trap type shit and I'm not really enjoying myself. My brother and I are in our 20s.
what are some fun things to do in the area that has as little crowds and tourists as possible.
Also what's a good idea for new years eve?

>Also what's a good idea for new years eve?
Downtown Orlando is a major populated city dude. You find a restaurant/club with an event that looks good for you, whether a rooftop view, or great prix fixe menu for the night, pay now for the RSVP. The last Sunday paper would have been a good place to sort that out with ads for their night. Maybe you can google within the papers now or visit a restaurant page for info.
The best show in town will be Epcots fireworks of course,...

It's Orlando, so every place you go that is worth a damn will have at least a few tourists. It's unavoidable.
In terms of theme parks, there is one somewhat relevant small park named Fun Spot America. It has two locations: Kissimmee (south of Orlando) and International Drive (in Orlando across the freeway from Universal). Go to the I-Drive one. Up until a few years ago it was a standard arcade/go-kart place, but it recently expanded to have actual rides, including two decent mid-sized roller coasters. Their wooden one is the only one of its kind in town.

hey guys and gals! my sweetheart and are are getting married in july and are planning on honeymooning at Disneyland. where is a good place to shop for tickets or passes? also any good tips on where to star and eat? thanks !
>>1063856
Which disney? The one in California?
>>1064147
Well actually I guess it doesnt matter, but try to get tickets from someone who works there, they'll either give you a nice discount or even let you in for free because they're allowed to do that
also, year passes are overrated and not worth in my opinion, Dland loses its touch after the 3rd time
>>1063856
Getting married in 2016 is a super bad idea.
There will be cheating at minimum and please do not make another human to be raised by a single divorced mother.
We have way too many of those as it is.
Basically , just pls stop.
/trv/ I'm traveling in a couple of days to Bologna, Italy. Thing is I'm on a really tight budget and need to stay there 14 nights.
Can I hear some advice? Google returned me nothing.
Budget around 10-15€ the night. I'm alone so I don't care ending up on a shithole, share rooms or anything, thanks!
Use couchsurfing sites to find a place to stay for free.

Hello /trv/
I'm planning a short trip to Reykjavík this August in celebration of graduating University.
As I'll be going there alone, I was wondering if any of you knew of websites where I can talk to people who live there already, and potentially meet up with them.
Any other general suggestions on what to do whilst there would also be appreciated.
Interpals is a great tool for meeting people from the locations you're interested in going to.
A lot of people use it as a dating site which is unusual but not unwelcome, great for setting up qts ahead of time.
>>1065888
Sounds good, I'll have a look into it
Couchsurfering you can even stay with a local.
How are eurocucks so good at spotting Americans? I am never called out for being American despite my terrible French accent and people ask if I am Spanish or Italian because I am a little dark from being a quarter Mexican and a little Sicilian, but my white American friends who are white instantaneously get mocked and harassed wherever they go.
I typically wear sambas and slightly more fitted clothes than what Americans do but what makes them stick out like such sore thumbs?
even without hearing them speak i can pick out euros pretty well and can often even id their country. facial structure and clothing tip off pretty well, though i can't name any specific cues i use.
>>1065676
i would say bone structure and looks
if you had a pile of pictures and told me to separate americans and europeans, it'd be pretty easy imo
I can always spot Americans in a number of ways.
-Americans usually have straight white teeth (this applies more to the younger generation)
-Americans are loud talkers
-Americans have a distinct accent and way of speaking English (Around the world everyone grows up hearing it in music, movies, tv etc)
-Americans have more bland facial features because they're usually mixed-up Europeans genetically (I don't mean this in a negative way, Americans are often better looking)
-Americans usually dress more casually and wear bigger sized clothing for their...

In an attempt to live a location independent live, we (a bunch of explorers) created a “blogmap” of Europe. This map is packed with the most unique things to do and see across the European continent. I may only hope that this map is an inspiration for the more adventurous traveler among us, I bet there’s plenty of things you didn’t knew about yet. Would love to hear what you think about it or if something is missing :D http://broscene.com/unique-travel-inspiration/

It's pretty unique I think but I remember that the town itself is piss poor and boring.
Never heard about it, we will for sure consider it for our monthly update. Thank you!

Would be more attractive if it wasn't called 'broscene'. But overall pretty cool.
I've got a local one for you too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpocs203Ttg
Ask a South-African from Cape Town anything if you've ever thought of comimg here
>>1063504
Will I get anally raped if I backpack there alone?
>>1063504
Is it safe? Is food there spicy or salty?
>>1063506
Kek. Depends where you want to go. Cape Town itself is relatively safe as long as you stay away from the swattercamps and townships
Hawaii thread? Hawaii thread.
>>1066767
OP here, have a family house on Oahu, so feel free to ask questions and will try to answer them as best as I can.
So here is the story! im going with gf in thailand and especially phuket and koh samui ( we will visit koh phangan and koh tao too)
We already paid our flight to and from thailand (we arrive and depart from bangkok), one domestic flight to phuket, and our first 4 hotel nights! I want to ask if 1500-1600€ per person is a safe budget for 20 days!
Things to have in mind:
We are not going to buy too much alcohol,
We will spend most of the time at the beach swimming and sunbathing,
2-3 daily trips like phi-phi daily tour and james bond island, with 50-70€...

IMO there is no reason to do Phuket AND Koh Samui.
>>1066584
I would say either, along with all the other places listed. But I am burned out on Bro level partying and buckets.
Your budget is more than enough even with flights. Al the places you listed are more expensive and full of scams. Read up before you go. Not huge scams, but realize people will try to over charge the hell out of you etc.
>>1066658
Thanks mate! I asked in tripadvisor too and they told me that my budget isnt enough! im a bit worried!
Going on a 7 night Western Carribean cruise around Memorial Day (Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Grand Cayman)
1st cruise.
Questions I have are:
A. Alcohol plan or pay as you go
B. Excursions through ship, buy on shore, or venture on own?
Also cruise general. Share tips and stories and what not.
>>1066477
>A. Alcohol plan or pay as you go
How much do you drink? If it is "a whole Hell of a lot," then buy the plan -- but the Plan is designed to make money for the ship, not for you to save money: most people drink less than the break even point. The advantage, though, is that you don;t have to worry about a budget-killing surprise at the end.
>B. Excursions through ship, buy on shore, or venture on own?
The couple of times I've...

Experience cruiser here. I've been on about 50-60 cruises since I was born (I was one of those babies you see on cruise ships).
Ask me anything.
This>>1066515 anon did a good job of answering your first two questions. I'd just add that soda plans might be something you want to consider unless you really like unsweetened iced tea....and that I highly recommend booking excursions at every port of call. They're reasonably priced and offer the best of wherever you are.
Flying down to Austin today. Anything that I should definitely see when I'm down there?
There really isn't shit going on this week. You're better off asking locals. Despite 4channers getting assblasted about it, their subreddit is active and useful.
I'm seriously considering just packing some shit and traveling solo around the USA in my Mustang.
How far and how long will $900 take me? How do I even go on about it? I'm a 19 year old college kid btw.
if you spend it all on gas,
900/4*30 = 6,750 miles round trip with 30 miles per gallon at $2 a gallon.
if you spend $ on food, lodging and entertainment, then you travel less miles.
>>1065076
>shitstang getting 30mpg
Maybe on the moon
I wish it was more rugged here in USA so taking a SUV or Truck was more practical doing a roadtrip around the states. I hate how a boring Honda civic is the single best option for this goal. I wanted to get car stickers from every state I visited ,but I think it would look lame on a civic compared to like a landrover
Hey, I'm going on holiday with my girlfriend this weekend to Rome. What should we do? Do I need to book any tours or can we walk about happy as Larry?
>>1066656
You can walk p much everywhere or get a bus if you're feeling lazy. There's also a metro but I've never used it.
Have you been to Tibet?
Let's share the informatioms.
of course
I haven't been but I always thought that palace looked dream like and imagined a remote settlement at the peak of a mountain. But it's always purposefully photographed from that angle that makes it look like the top of a mountain. Seeing it like the photo I'm posting really deflated the tibet fantasy for me.
>>1066358
first time i see
it's really low likely
Hello /trv/, I had recently booked a trip on Trafalgar tours for March 7-17 for about $4000 for my girl and I. The trip includes lodging and travel between countries along with various tours. Unfortunately the cunts over there called me and left a message stating that they had to cancel due to lack of reservations.
My question to you is, should I try to remake my trip on my own by booking separate hotels and transportation or just try searching for other tour options? I don't get to travel much so I don't know a whole lot about this stuff. My job won't...

>4000$ for 10 days
Easily. You might not be sleeping in 5* hotels in every city but you can do it for that kind of money.
You're more than fine. I would highly recommend you to pick less cities tho, think about two or three tops. You'll enjoy them more, will be less stressed about being in time with your schedule, will pay less for moving from one city to another and will get to know the cities better.
$400 a day for a euro tour? mate if you're flights are already booked, just wing it. you can do this trip for way cheaper
