I am a student from Austria. A week ago, two girls from Portugal visited our school ans talked about how there is a program which allows you to work in another European countey for a year. It seems really cool and they give you a bit of money for financial support.
I am kind of interested in doing a gap year in France as I know some French. I have no idea what I will major in - maybe Translation or something like that. Should I go on a gap year?
>>1062265
Fok yeah. Get some decent food and best women. Just remember that France has everything from alps to surf beaches, so think where you want to go.

yes

maybe not
Has anyone delt with pocket wifi in Japan? Any recommendations on what brand to use?
My general advice for foreign data is have an unlocked smart phone and a good mobile data plan. Use your phone to tether/WiFi Hotspot when necessary.
I researched a whole bunch and I ended up closing between eConnect and Global Advanced. Depending on the speeds you want and how much you use though? Any estimates on how much you'd be using?
I'm going on a trip and I want a small, portable, cheap camera for attaching somewhere, like on a car, to record stuff while I travel. Has to auto-focus etc.
My main thing is I am renting a truck and driving through the Atacama desert, including Salar de Atacama (pic related). I want to put the camera there to record my shit while I drive.
I was thinking of a gopro. Is there a better option?

If you have more money ricoh grv

As the owner of a gopro 4 black, they are wonderful cameras, but they lack in battery life and are far more suited as an action cam.

I have the opertunity to go work on a farm in southern Iceland for a few months. Everything about the location and farm seems perfect, I've just never done a work stay program before and wanted to know if anybody who has done something similar can tell me about there experience. I dont want to be in over my head because I thought the work would be easy but can things that sound too good to be true, be real?
Suppose I should note the work is with cows,sheep,horses. Just light farm work and stable cleaning it said.
>>1062054
Shoveling shit is not as easy for those not used to it as it might seem to a farmer who does it all the time.
Still, it won't kill you. And if it does, at least you got to go to Iceland.
Hey. Im just a german dude travelling to Stockholm for new years eve.

Also kinda nervous because im travelling alone
What sort of things interest you?
I could write up all the best examples of church architecture for you, but won't waste the time unless you are into that.
In the unlikely chance that you do not want to spend your time looking at churches, maybe somebody here knows about just wast you are looking for, if you give them a few hints about your interests.

I've heard Aifur is supposed to be a nice restaurant
OK, so I just booked a trip to thailand recently and I'll be going in less than a week, but I initially checked the government site and it said I'd only need yellow fever vaccination from a country that is prone to it but now I'm afraid I've read it incorrectly, can someone help me out?
Do you need vaccinations before you go to thailand?
Chill OP. You don't need yellow fever if you're sticking to Thailand. Go to the hospital for tropical disease when you get to Bangkok, it's just off from Monument square. They're a modern professional hospital and do cheap vaccines (it's recommended to get hep a and b as well as update your tetanus/diphtheria if you haven't already. Japanese encephalitis is something they'll offer too, it's nasty but really rare unless you plan to sit in a rice paddy for 6 months. Only issue is hep a and b take 3 shots spread out over a month. I'm...

No, but if you have the time get all the shots you think you'l ever need in Bangkok. I did at some hospital attached to a snake farm.
p.s. I had my vaccination book stolen since then, including my yellow fever which I had done some time before, but I have pictures of it all. Fucking sucks.
>>1062010
...BTW the reason I went was to get typhoid booster, which is really the important one if you have your Hep shots which you probably already do.
I'm heading over to Vanuatu in a couple of weeks, never seen anyone talk about that place here before, anyone been there? And if so, I'm especially curious about budget and more tribal oriented traveling instead of a more touristic approach to the place. I keep reading about the amazing diving opportunities and similar stuff which I'll never be able to afford.
Can't really help with budget stuff sorry, but from memory it's not too expensive? Internal flights are where most of your money will go
Head to pentecost for the tribal stuff, and make sure you climb that volcano on tanna. There's some decent off-the-beach snorkelling on tanna and ok stuff on that tiny island in Port villa. Probs nothing like the diving though I guess
Hey /trv/.
A friend of mine is staying at Liverpool for a few weeks. I was thinking of going as well for a week or so. My friend told me to not pay for a room and stay with him in the hotel he stays. It is a single room. Will there be issues if i sleepover?
Also, any good things to do/visit around liverpool?
Take a ferry across the mersey
So I'm gonna be in vegas/grand canyon for winter break, anything I should expect? Tips? Scams to watch out for?
pic unrelated
if you hike into the canyon remember its like hiking a mountain in reverse. it will take you twice as long to walk out then it did to walk down so plan accordingly.
Me and a friend want to meet up in Vancouver, or somewhere nearby in BC if its cheaper. They're from the US, taking advantage of the weak Canadian dollar for a trip. I'm from further up in BC, rural shithole.
They want the stay to be at least 2 weeks long, at the minimum, flexible. No set dates yet, just sometime in 2016.
How would you guys recommend finding a place to stay for that long for the two of us without paying out the ass for a decent hotel room? They want to pay for the room, I just think we can find a better deal than that.
Should we look...

Yeah, you can rent a small vacation home/apartment for two weeks or a month at that price point desu senpai

> Should we look into renting an apartment for one month
Vancouver is in a "housing crisis" right now. The vacancy rate is close to zero so landlords get twenty or more applications for every available unit. Somebody who only wants it for a month will be at the very bottom of the list. Your best bet is checking Airbnb.
Hey, /trv/. I come to you with a request, and thanks in advance.
In a few months (February or March, if I recall), my mother will be taking a midlife crisis bike trip from our home in Denmark to see her family in Latvia, and see some sights along the way (primarily Kaliningrad). She's unsubtly hinted she wants some help as a Christmas present, which is nice because I'm broke, and I'm finding maps and travel guides to compile for the present.
This is where you come in, /trv/. Wikitravel and travelogue sites are nice, but there are some tips you just have...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Just to mention it, she's going to be lugging around a tent and sleeping at camping sites, but I know her (and Latvians) well enough to know that camping sites are only a formality, and she'll probably end up pitching tent in the woods if she can't find any.
If anyone's going to suggest talking her out of it (I'm not sure if you'd consider it dangerous, but it is a bit impulsive), I can say that it would result in casualties. Arguing with a Latvian ends in blood.
And I'll just bump this, since it's relatively important.
Travelling to Cuba. Staying at a resort. Anyway to get internet there other than paying for the crappy ones there?
>>1061733
Litterally no.
Use the internet at the resort, it'll be the best available even if its not the blazing fast shit you're used to at your battlrstation back home.
/trv/ I need some help with my itinerary.

Tokyo
Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, Akihabara, Sensoji Temple, Takeshita Street.
I recommend Toyoko-Inn for hotel.
Osaka
Osaka Castle, Dotonbori (lots of food and shopping)
It might be smarter to pick just one country and explore it properly.
Treveling to Cape Verde in a few weeks.
Anyone been there, got any tips, any must do's, something that has to be seen or something to avoid? Any feedback appreciated (:
Consider a night in Dakar if you're staying long enough. Apart from that be prepared for cold water.
First of all it all depends on what island you going to. Im not sure what moron is saying regarding cold water but most of the hotels have hot water. Theres many things to do.
1 - Volcano Climb (Fogo)
2 - Beatiful beaches - (Sal or Boavista)
3 - Try going to Tarrafal - (Santiago)
4 - Food - Kebra Canela - Small restaurant by the beach - Santiago (Praia)
5 - Clubs (Sao Vicente, Santiago, Sal, Boavista)
>>1062206
Dude, not cold water in the hotels... But going to the Atlantic in January will be cold.
Hey /trv/, I arrived in Honolulu a few hours ago and I'm staying in Waikiki for 8 days over Christmas. What are some of the sight, activities etc. I should check out? I'm up for just about anything
>>1061615
Are you white? Go to Nanakuli beach, play your music really loud, and call everyone "bra". You'll make lots of friends. Be sure to wear really flashy board shorts too.
>>1061828
Half indian so not white enough to pull that off
