I am going to Morocco this summer, to Al-Hoceimah (on the Mediterranean) anything should I know? Any piece of advice? Something worthy to see over that part of Morocco? Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!
How long will you be there? What do you like doing? How far are you willing to travel?

if you have any safety problem, swim to here, it is Spanish territory. Get help in the military.
>>1128437
and how the fuck is he supposed to climb up that?
Swimming is probably the easy part. He'll die on those rocks, or get eaten by sharks.
I love Alcatraz-looking islands.
I was looking at travelling to either of these countries and wanted some advice for anyone whose been or knows about these two countries.
I will be going with a friend and was looking for somewhere that we would be able to go out at night as well as do a lot of adventurous stuff. Stuff like trekking, any water sports, quad biking, camel riding if possible.
Also somewhere where the food is nice and the people are relaxed and friendly. I went to Morocco and did not like the constant hassling from the natives to buy their stuff.
Any advice? Thanks in advance
Currently with the situation of Lebanon, don't recommend it. If you do go, they cook some nice food.
Jordan is the pearl of the Middle Eaast. Loevyl place for westerners. Visit Ammam for almost all of your needs (but remember they are muslim so no alcohol :[ )
also visit the dead sea, notorious for many reasons, petra because its a beautiful ancient city, mujib desert (wadi mujib) which is basically grand canyon but jordan style.dana is a good nature reserve if you enjoy hikes. jerash is also nice place to visit. we are kind people, no harassment. for food, make sure...

I found plenty of alcohol in Amman. They have a sizeable Christian majority, who run bars and liquor shops
I think in most middle east countries you will get harassed to buy things, it's just something you have to deal with.
I spent 3 days in Jordan and I wish I spent more time there; the people are super cool, friendly and polite; in hotels and in restaurants the service is excellent they can't do enough for you.
I went to Amman, Jerash and Petra
Why doesn't anybody live in Canada?
When you enter Eskimo territory, their warriors kill you on site and feed you to their sled dogs. Little known fact that the liberal media won't tell you.

Don't say that I'm passing through Eskimo territory in a couple of weeks...
It's a crap place to live
I'm going to Taiwan for the whole month of July.
I want to do some hiking (snow mountain, taroko gorge and maybe yushan) but the permit application seems almost impossible to do. They ask for experience in taiwanese mountain hikes and a certificate???
Does anyone have experience in getting the permit?
Also Taiwan general since I don't see one.

Take a look here
If you're open to other mountains, Shoushan in Kaohsiung, Alishan in Chiayi, Elephant Mountain in Taipei, Baiguoshan in Yuanlin are all options
>>1124343
not OP but the china thread derailed into /pol/itics, thinking of visiting wuyi a few days then going to xiamen and getting the ferry to taiwan, is this feasible, what other options do I have instead of the taiwan route? Tea is a major motivation of the trip, i'm there for 13 days total(1-13 september) but can be more depending on other ideas I might have
>>1124345
Not sure how much of a hassle it is to come over from China by ferry, flight seems much easier.
Teawise,Taiwan is awesome.
There's a place in Miaoli. http://globalteahut.org/
Alishan and other mountains have high altitude teas. Tieguanyin is widely available.
Ok guys I need to learn spanish this summer. I spend hours every day driving.
I need to find an audio only program.
Anyone here used one and can recommend?
>>1123900
>Anyone here used one and can recommend?
I can't recommend one, but what I would do is check out some from my local library. As technology grew, the lockdown on priced programs skyrocketed, but schools and businesses both had to produce audio cassettes and CDs for decades before that. FREE and probably a great selection. Old Berlitz and whatnot, it's not like the language changed it up much over the years. You might even get better/classier accents to emulate than more modern versions.
That is a really good idea.
Was hoping for something already in digital format but will keep this idea as an option
How fast can someone learn a new language ?]
Is it worth it just for travel ?

Want to visit Italy but I'm not sure whether to visit Venice and Florence, Rome or Naples and Sicily?
Any advice on what I can expect from each?
I enjoy adventure and history but also relaxing and food and drink
>>1118338
Florence would be your best bet, and Tuscany in general. Siena and Pisa are nice places to visit
>>1118338
>Rome & Venice
Top 10 places in the world to visit in your life
>Florence
If you bring someone with you (someone you love maybe), it might be even better than Vanice
>Sicily
Depends where. But, anyway, it's summer! Find a nice place with a beautiful environment near the sea (a lot to find on the web)
>Naples
Nothing special to see. Of course, people from Naples will tell...

Venice and Florence are tier 1.
Rome was on that level but is sloping down to Naples level, which is tier 3.
Sicily is summer holiday seaside vacation tier.
Hey guys,
Going interrailing next week, and I'm just making sure, when it comes to reserving the trains, I can just do it at the train station a day before or so, right?
Also, the first trip out of UK, will that need to be reserved, or would we be able to get to the train station in London and hop on a train?
TL;DR How do people interrail if they haven't reserved in advance and want a flexible schedule?
Yes you can reserv one minute before if theres any space on the train
I don't think you interrail pass supports going out of the country you bought it in but you can always say you're a tourist and came to the uk by plane and start your interrail journey from there
I have a delta flight voucher for $600.
I live in SLC and can only use the voucher on Delta flights. Where should I go?
Here is a screenshot of a map of where delta flys from SLC.
FYI I've been to Europe before and West US but nowhere else.
Iceland.
Alaska!
Tulsa, Oklahoma if I get dubs.
jokes aside, are you more interested in nature or cities?
Me and my mates are planning to go Thailand, our first time out of the country, and we were hoping to enjoy the local bar scene and go go Bars, do I was looking for advice on how to best go at it.

Ask in one of the 4 other Thailand or SEA threads

Well I was hoping not to turn their discussion into a sex tourism one
>>1128486
There is already a lot of that in each of them. Even the one started by the female Korean American OP, third of that thread is her trip, a third Pattaya, and the third people arguing about whether sex tourism is good or bad
I'm brand spanking new to /trv/ so i don't know if this is the way to post. Anyway, I'm traveling to Tasmania in a few weeks, is there anything i should visit? Preferably a bit
obscure, thanks.

Everything in Tasmania is obscure

well, obsucerer then?

Visit Kangaroo Island between Australia and Tasmania.
Have you tasted kangaroo milk before? It's a true treat, especially iced. Far more vitamins than cow's milk.

To show a Avici I was cool..
What type of computer should I bring on my travels abroad? It will mainly be for researching things to do, places to eat, and booking airbnb/hostels/hotels, and storing photos. Maybe some media consumption on the trains if I have wi-fi around.
I was thinking a cheap chromebook might work well, or could I do this all on a smartphone? What about a tablet? Keyboard+tablet?
Smartphone will get you there. If you really want the keyboard and screen estate, get a laptop. If you're traveling for extended periods , battery life is your main feature. So probably no larger than 14.1 inch to save on screen consumption and low power parts.
Are you concerned with how much weight you're carrying? What about personal information security?
Consider what would be easier to lock down in a case your shit gets stolen. A lost computer is the fastest way to lose your identity.
I suggest a tablet because it's lighter and There's no HDD to take out that contains your data. A lot of tablets have a built-in cellular data connection you can use so that if your tablet does get lost you can locate it or remotely wipe it. Without it having access to the Internet it can't be remotely wiped.

>There's no HDD to take out that contains your data.
Where the fuck is your data then? Obviously they can get it if they steal the whole thing.
Going to the South of Portugal soon, will be staying in the Al Garve/Faro area.
What are the best things to do/great places to go?
Things I enjoy
>eating out
>hill walking
>beaches
>drinking (alcohol)
Any Portuguese people here? Any places/things I should avoid?
Thanks! Also general Portuguese thread.

>Going to the South of Portugal soon, will be staying in the Al Garve/Faro area.
Almost the same, passing Faro by and staying there maybe a couple of days but most of the time in Lagos. Also bump.

Is 500 Euros enough for 5 days if I want to eat out for lunch and dinner and have a couple drinks every night?
Is this worth it? I know someone who has a member of OneWord and uses their card. And it seems he flies business class like every other flight with the amount of points he has.
only reason I'm looking at United is because I live next to a UA Hub.
Is your credit score good? If you're able to avoid getting into credit card debt, then do it. Making your minimum spending gets you a shitload of miles. United's shit though, so if you're looking for flexibility then I suggest getting the Chase Sapphire card. You'll be able to try different airlines without the guilt of missing out on those awesome miles.
>>1126271
Wait. Explain this Chase Sapphire card to me..
Yeah I have good credit.
>>1126275
> 50,000 reward points that can be converted to miles upon spending $4k within 90 days
> Double points from spending it on food, drinks, and trips (that includes Lyft fyi) without any foreign transaction fees
> $95 annual fee is nothing if you have good credit
> Points can be used for flights on BA, Korean, Singapore, United, and Virgin, as well as Hyatt and Marriott hotels

i'm in the planning stages of a trip up The Pacific Coast that I'll be making in August. I'm moving from Las Vegas to Spokane, Washington with my wife and we decided to take the very scenic route, and the Pacific Coast Highway is a trip that we've both wanted to do for a while.
I've figured out most of the stops along the way, have some couches to crash on, but I still haven't found a place to stop on the coast in Northern California. Talking to people from around there, apparently I'm not likely to, so I'll probably end up camping...

Are you on a tight schedule? Aside from the usual cities, make sure you go to Redwood National Park which is right on your itinerary. If you have time to kill head up to Sequoia and Yosemite NP's.
>>1125345
A little bit. There's not going to be any rush on our part, but we want to be done with the trip in about a week. We're going to be running on a budget of around $500, for 2 people, for gas and food, and I figure by around Newport, we might be running low, and that'll decide what the last leg of our trip looks like, whether we just cut through washington directly to spokane, or take the scenic route through northern washington.
Definitely going to stop through Redwood Natl Park.
The last...
