What the fuck do you guys do in life to travel that much, and how do you take the time to do so?
I'd love to travel and do exciting things like you guys but >money, >time and >responsabilities

Digital nomad here.
Multiple degrees, specialist knowledge, indispensable to some employers, occasionally insane commitment to professionalism and to results.
>>973231
Oh, and I gave away, sold or burnt everything that I had before I left, I have nothing to go back to and no commitments beyond client contracts.

Anyone hiked in the "alps"? Looking at the area around Murodo for staying a few nights and perhaps walking from place to place, if possible. Anyone have any experiences from the area?
>>973906
>how do I become a Yakuza
Wat do?
if i get a small tattoo in a visible spot, will i be restricted in most tourist areas in tokyo?
Greetings all!
A friend and myself will be visiting Iceland in June for a week and have nothing planned apart from renting a car and driving the ring road.
I would love any personal recommendations and must do's along the way other than the usual touristy stuff, we have a reasonable budget for Iceland so we are hoping to sample some nightlife and find areas where people hang out in major cities but don't know where our best chances for that would be this time of year.
Any other suggestions are greatly welcomed thanks!
and by touristy stuff I really meant to say things I could have researched online, I've done quite a bit of looking into what I might want to do but was hoping to hear some stories of hidden gems and things not a lot of tourist get to see/do
>>970453
Go bug CCP at their offices.
You sure you've allotted enough time for the Ring Road? 7 days seems just about the minimum.
www.insidethevolcano.com seems interesting. costs an arm and a leg like everything else though
>>970482
is there anything to do there besides bug them
I just got DUMPED
>can we get a sex tourist thread going
We already did.
>>964743
>>973307
Technically that's no a sex tourism thread.
Although I haven't read all the posts it's entirely some of the hookups listed where romantic situations and the people involved could still be in a happy relationship today.
>>973302
You can't have a dedicated sex tourist thread here. I don't know why, but they literally always get deleted, even though no mention of them is made in the board rules
Hey /trv/, I want to play a game. My camera just got screwed after being dropped in saltwater at seaside, but my SD card was saved. Now, I have been to many places this past year, and I want you to guess where!

Taking a photo of Iceland from the plane?
>>970934
Ding! We have a winner! Next photo!
From time to time, we have threads here to dump favorite travel pictures.
Doesn't seem to be one at the moment, so here.
For a change, can we have a theme? Maybe pics that in some way involve night.
River scene in Bangkok. At night.
Kuwait skyline from the beach on the SE side of town.
Commuter heading home from work in Bangkok.
Street partiers, liberation day national holiday in Kuwait. Everybody gets in their car, packing squirt guns, and goes nuts along the main drag by the Gulf. SIlly string is now banned becasue the young men would use it to block the windshield of cars with pretty girls in them, so the girls would have to get out of the car and clear it away, and they could chat them up. Irked the social norms, plus left masses of silly string somebody had to clean up later,
If you got a small/stupid question that doesn't deserve its own thread, post it here.
If you don't know if your question deserve a thread, post here, and you'll see.

Can someone offer some advice to help me get over my fear of flying over oceans?
>>964212
Are you afraid of flying or afraid of flying over oceans?
>>964212
Familiarity breeds contempt. Fly over oceans, the fear will fade. Unless you have a honest to good mental problem at the phobia level, in which case you'll need to get some psych help, and good luck.
Just returned home after a 3 month backpacking adventure through Southeast Asia.
Ask me anything.
>pic related. Sunrise over Bagan
Can I ask you to post more pictures?
If so, then please, I ask you o post more pictures.
>>971595
Did you go to Bangkok? If so, how was immigration? I have been told I need to bribe the official to get in. I'm American but will be flying in from Japan.
Kindly greentext stories about your encounters with the local ladies, good sir.
Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Burma. Think we'll leave Thailand out of this one as it always has dedicated threads already.
Tells me your SEA stories bros and travel tips, the best cities, the best place to find ladies of the night, the best place to find backpackers, the best noodle and food joints, mugging stories and crime tips, how to live cheaply etc

>going to Japan whist it's winter
Is this a big no? Or will I still be able to get away with doing all the touristy things(only a bit cooler)?
>>969277
I think it is ok, I could travel there during the new year and most of the places had 0 snow.
Wi-Fi question.
Is there better deals than NTT docomo Wi-Fi for visitor? 1000 YEN is not bad at all, but I don't like to use credit card on everything.
Can you get that Wi-FI visitor password from docomo stores and pay with cash?
I will be spending 3 days in Shanghai next month. What am I in for? Any tips? Also general Shanghai thread.
Download wechat. If you are into clubbing my friend is a promoter there and can get you a table. Other than that go out and see the sights. Eat some weird street food and have some nice seafood at a rich restaurant. Go to the bund and see the sick skyline. If you go with your gf take the 100rmb boat ride. Its really beautiful at night and under $20. There's also a lake town thing south of Shanghai that you can take the bus to. Go on a weekday and it won't be crazy busy. Its got lots of tourist traps, but it is pretty cool. Downtown with city hall is nice to visit before going for dinner.
Interested in this as well, I will be there for a month-ish on business this summer.
What are some good places to visit that are not main tourist areas but are still nice to see?
>>967218
THanks for the info!
Do you live there or just have traveled there before?
I'd like to move to England but I don't know where to go. I've already established that London would be too expensive for me.
What's your favourite city? What are the pros and cons about your own city?
Also, how hard is it to find a entry-level job in a hotel/restaurant or whatever?
Move up north if you can. Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield are all worth a look. Good, friendly people, pretty cheap, good beer/nightlife. Birmingham's not too bad either and the second biggest city after London, and pretty cheap too.
On the job, if you have a small bit of experience then that will help. Go in to places, and approach and be confident. I know someone who moved over recently from Australia with little experience and he got a bar management job, so it can be done.
Good luck!
the north is shit, don't listen to him
The further North you go, the colder and crappier the weather. People tend to be a bit rougher and tougher, and more "common". Housing etc is cheaper.
Further south you go, the posher people tend to be, but its a more expnsive place to live.
Regarding jobs, good luck! There are many more people looking for work than there are jobs available.
I'm from the Midlands, and would say it strikes a good balance between North and South. (I know, surprising that it should be in he middle eh?).
Alernatively; Swindon is the butt of many jokes,...

Why is this allowed?
> not giving your small child benedryl before the flight.
I had a short flight that would have been perfectly enjoyable turned into an infuriating experience because some cunt's princess could not refrain from yelling, screaming, kicking my seat, and disobeying her mother.
>>965624
A baby's eardrums are not the same as an adult's. I've heard that the pressure change that is common to air travel is extremely uncomfortable for a small child's eardrums.
Stop being a fucking idiot. Babies cry on airplanes. Deal with it.
>>965631
Not him, but it still blows cock. I feel bad for the kid and parents in addition to myself. In light of never having the chance to fly before I was an adult, though, it could be considered a somewhat privileged position, not in the tumblr SJW sense.
Sum up your last /trv/ expedition in three green-text entries.

>>967773
>I am that guy
Your fault for not wearing earplugs. Believe it or not, people don't snore on purpose. It's to be expected while sleeping near mulitple people you don't know.
I've actually had campus security knock on my door because someone called them due to my snoring. Or maybe I was screaming in my sleep or something. The people that knocked didn't seem to sure of what to expect. Then laughed when they'd realised they had woken me up.
