Yes. It's pretty great actually. Maybe not KSA itself, depending on your lifestyle. But the money you make, and you just go to UAE, Bahrain, or fly to Thailand for a few hundred bucks for your debauchery, the same way the Saudis do.

thanks - thats what i was hoping. there's a lot of cool places to fly to; and then can save money pretty easy.

as long as i can figure out and follow the laws there i bet its not so bad

What city will you be working in and what kind of work?

>Real travelers don't go on cruises. They backpack through South East Asia for 9 month
Wow. Real travelers is even a thing with normies

There is no such thing as a "Real Traveller" as travelling is a different experience for everybody and everybody gets something different out of it.

Having done package holidays, Villa rentals, city breaks and backpacking I can say that for me, nothing even comes close to the authenticity, the raw experience of backpacking, how can you really get a taste for a culture when you're surrounded by tour guides and 100+ German OAP's clad head to toe in Berghaus and North Face jackets being shows some pre-fabricated monument that features on the cover of...

I had the "real traveler" discussion with a friend. She is a rich girl, who's been a lot of places and her mindset is like thisVV

>I can say that for me, nothing even comes close to the authenticity, the raw experience of backpacking, how can you really get a taste for a culture etc etc...

Now I will certainly agree that going it independently, exploring on your own, etc are all better than packaged tours and stuff, but the idea of being a "real traveler" is still just a snooty privileged clueless person mindset....

Is joining the Yakuza simple or something?

Do you have something specific you want on Comiket? Otherwise it's kinda crazy to go. You'll never have enough time to just browse randomly.

You can get small private rooms for less than a bed in a hostel dorm, and luxurious lofts in expensive areas of the city, and anything in between. So it can be expensive, but it does not have to.

It can be particularly good if you are traveling with a group of people, as sharing the rent of a flat turns out as a pretty good deal, compared to hostels and mid-range hotels.

You can have some socialization with the hosts if they are open to it. Some of them will socialize a lot with you and show you around....

It's cheaper than a hotel, more expensive than a hostel. Can be better or worse than either one, depends on the room.

I lived in one for two weeks, it was the side room in this sweet old Israeli lady's house. It was breddy good, though I was always a little conscious of the fact that I was in someone's house, not a hotel

what's your daily budget?

With that kind of money, not a lot I'd guess
You could probably go on a road trip to no where in particular, and return when you're running low on gas money

What's wrong with where you are now?

Once saw a post on /int/ where a Moldovan casually mentioned "the town rapist" as if it was nothing. I mention this to demonstrate to you Moldova is fucking harsh, it's like everything dangerous about Russia but twice as poor. There is literally 0 tourist infrastructure that all of Europe has now.

I'd probably recommend you learn a tiny bit of Russian. I don't entirely know the situation regarding language in Moldova but generally the farther east you go in Europe the lingua Franca...

I knew a girl from Moldova who was drop dead gorgeous. She had to have a body guard whenever she visited her grandparents. It's not a happy place

>I'd probably recommend you learn a tiny bit of Russian. I don't entirely know the situation regarding language in Moldova but generally the farther east you go in Europe the lingua Franca becomes Russian not English
Russian is indeed useful in Moldova, although the sole official language is Romanian, and the media are Romanian-only. In Chişinău I heard nearly as much Russian as Romanian spoken in the streets, and just about everyone seemed to be able to speak both (I speak...

How is the Netherlands the Somalia of Europe?

>>1049002
because there are no rules

>>1049004
I'm Dutch. We have plenty of rules. Mostly common sense rules though.

You'll be fine with or without a passport. But why only a carry-on?

>>1048913
I'm sorry, but what do you mean I'll be fine without a passport?

I don't really want to have too many bags to fuss around with and get past security with. My girlfriend's family has spare clothes i can borrow so i figure it'd be fine to pack some of my own clothes + other essential stuff and be fine throughout my stay. I might end up packing more though if it seems odd that ill be travelling for so long with so little.

>>1048915
No idea why he said that. But you have your passport, you should be all set. Euro border guards generally don't question visitors, unlike America. If they do, just tell them honestly your plans. You really should have nothing to worry about from them.

Of course Havana is worth seeing. What a massive twat you'd be if you just stayed at the resort and didn't explore at all.

>>1048899
>Havana
Make sure you also go to Trinidad, Santa Clara and/or Cienfuegos.

>>1048899
I have some us dollars leftover from other vacations but most of the websites I've been reading say that they are useless there. But I've heard that their black markets run on USD so it might be okay to tip with them?

Any anons van speak to this?

Why don't you just buy stuff at supermarkets?

Possible language barriers, might not have a kitchen at the hostel to cook food, expensive costs of living, etc, places I'm going to are Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Vienna, Dresden, Berlin

>>1048785
& Prague

Check out Ibis, generally good quality and not too expensive. Look for somewhere in the 14th, imo, if you don't mind not being in a constant tourist trap. The 14th is more residential, and one of the safest neighborhoods, though Paris is safe pretty much everywhere as far as violent crime goes.

Definitely check out the catacombs! I feel they are under-rated, but it is really something else. Honestly, I have been here for like 3 months already, and there are new amazing things I am seeing daily. The city is so big and full of history that it's hard to see it all.

Dude, shut up. It's a couple going to Paris. Think.

>inb4 real traveler

>>1048387
You'll spend most of your short three days in airports and in trains. It's a far better idea to just stay around Milan.

>>1048475
I've been before and the last time I only had two days to explore solo. I did two separate day trips. Took a train to Rome one day and a train to Zurich the next.

It would not be hard to cover my example route of flying to Barcelona Sunday night, getting to Lyon by Tuesday/Wednesday and then meeting up with my company Thursday morning in Nice. Especially since I intend to do most of my sleeping on the plane/train.

Similar question. I'm flying into madrid and have 96 hours there. Should I split my time between madrid and barcelona, or stay in madrid.

Madrid only will be convenient but i wont get a chance to come back to europe for a while I think. Is it worth it to deal with the hassle of being tired and traveling to another city given I will only be there for 4 days?

it reads; war on Germany, exterminate. Toughest ships, tougher men.

I can't disagree with that. I just don't see another way to live my life. It has been done to death but it also works for some. I'm not looking to get rich i just want to be happy.

>OEF vet
How about you go get a job as an over the road trucker?
You can pull your weight and get paid paid very well at the same time.
You get a ton of extra money your first year for being a vet.

When did you travel the Khyber pass? Have you seen much of sub-Saharan Africa? There is some proper crazy shit there.

Last December was when I went through the Khyber pass. I was told it was impossible to do as they have closed the border to anyone that isnt Pakistani or Afghani. It took 7 months of planning and with the help of friends that live in Islamabad they helped me get the proper documents to travel in the provinces but I had to learn some Pashtu and on the papers I put was teaching "english" it took a lot of bullshit to get everything moving. All the small details like reading the Koran so that I could pass off as a muslim convert and having that as my religion on my visas....
