Hey /trv/
Do you guys remember the Somali backpacker or the guy who was looking for a cave to master martial arts in??
No but I remember the day Pac died.
RIP
No.
I DON'T KNOW
Hey guys,
Can I work as an English teacher abroad, without a degree or anything? I think I can speak English pretty well, not my native language though, but I have been speaking English since I was very young. Also I usually got high grades at high school.I am also still pretty young (19). So does anyone have experience with teaching English without experience or a degree whatsoever or do you really need a degree? What countries would be good options? What kind of things will increase my chances? Also can you link some sites where I can apply or that have good information....

Only country where I have personally known people without degrees to teach was Cambodia.
Not sure about non-native speakers, though. That's hard anywhere. Maybe China?
Take a look at Dave's ESL cafe; all listings there will expect native speakers with degrees, but you might reach out anyway.
In Vietnam i met alot of people teaching amd amongst them, non-native speakers aswell, amd when I asked around, the general vibe was that it doesen't matter, as long as you're fluent in it. I met a german who has been there for a few years already, and his english wasn't even that good. This was autumn 2015.

This was also my experience. Which I found hilarious
"Oh, yeah, I don't need any teaching qualification to teach English, I've spoken it all my life!"
I feel so bad for their students
Considering pursuing Masters degree in Europe. I have dual citizenship US/Irish. Where should I look for something cheap or practically free?
Germany and Norway are free for sure.
>>1116107
come to germany mate
In Sweden it's free, just make sure you go to one of the Top-tier universities. I think Denmark is free as well.
So I'm driving across the country, do you know any good spots along my route?

Trade the I90 for the I80 between Illinois and Wyoming and you should be alright.
Bump out of interest. Are you leaving from NYC? How long do you expect to take?
I am planning a similar trip with friends from Houston to the Grand Canyon to Sacramento to Yellowstone and then to Denver and back to Houston. I might leave between Denver and Yellowstone to go up north. I posted this in another thread and it is still in early planning mode.

Long time shitposter, second time OP here.
Going to Krakow for a few days with a buddy while I'm in Europe this summer. We chose the city solely because it fitted our schedules. I didn't know anything about the place - just figured that you can't go wrong with European cities. Didn't even know that's where Auschwitz is... so I guess I'm going to Auschwitz.
Anyway, would appreciate tips from you guys for Krakow. Specifically:
Not interested in renting a car - what's the best way to visit Auschwitz from...

Oh, and also how about getting from the airport to downtown late afternoon?
Is there a decent public transport method we should use or should we just get a taxi?
Just got home from work.
Nothing?
Nobody?
>>1116064
Polish background and been to Kraków.
Any decent hotel can set you up with bussing to auschwitz (unfortunely I don't remeber if public bidding already exists).
There's definitely a free walking tour available that'll take you to all the sites so you can have an idea of what to visit.
There's a da Vinci painting in the castle (not the one in your photo, which is a bazaar).
Heading to Hawaii in a few days, what are some of /trv/s experiences there?
where in hawaii? i've been to the big island a few times. have some family in kona.
1. Expect to spend a lot of money. On everything.
2. Expect a lot of rude, white Americans.
3. Expect overcrowded beaches.
4. Expect "natives" to treat you like shit if you're not buying something from them.
>>1115675
don't listen to this dingus.
which island(s)?
You can just pick one trip from these two:
1. 2 days in Vienna, 6 days around the Czech Republic, 2 days in Prague.
-or-
2. 7 days around the Czech Republic and 3 days in Prague.
What do you choose and why?
I worry that two days for Prague and two days for Wien aren't enough.
what do you mean by around the czech republic?
are you going to try and hit up all the major cities or what?
I'd personally just add more days to Prague and Vienna
Vienna is dull and expensive. Just go and kick around Czechia.
2+2 I guess
So I'm visiting San Francisco on Tuesday, I land in the morning and leave the followingTuesday at night.
I've never been to SF and want to get the most out of my trip. I've already got two days put aside to visiting Redwood Forest and Santa Cruz(a friend is taking me so I don't have to worry about transportation).
But what else should I see in San Francisco, obviously I'm willing to do some of the major touristy stuff because you have to see some of those things. But I really want to see some underrated or overlooked things, hidden gems...

>berkeley
have fun with the commute.
fisherman's wharf is dumb. alcatraz is the shit, get your tickets now. marin headland batteries north of the golden gate are awesome if you're into history or the military. bring a flashlight to do some creeping.
where are you going to see the redwoods? big basin s.p. has the best old growth, but henry cowell s.p. has a train that runs through the forest to the beach.
if you can rustle up the wheel for it (or are willing to slog through yarts) yosemite is worth the drive.

Think you'll appreciate this vid, m80.
Going here in a week or so. Any suggestions? Night life especially.
Everybody is always raving about Budapest nightlife (pun intended).
Don't get scammed during the day by brown people from ye olde east.
>>1114410
VII. district is where its at, if you are into that thing, partying with fellow foreigners, drunk Britbong slags and so on
look for so-called ruin pubs, that's a local thing tourists seem to be fond of
Castle, Parlament building, the Grand Marketplace and public baths are nice
architecture too, if you are into Jugendstíl/art nouveau
check out maybe a free walking tour, there are thematic ones as well
>>1114410
go hiking the budaside & check out the Budapest history museum in the old castle neighborhood.
The church up there is really nice as well.
Check out Instant Club for nightlife. Filled with foreigners and just unlike anything else
Hi /trv/,
I'm a Canadian planning to travel to Ireland. I will be going to London first for a few days, then I want to go to ireland for 6 or 7 days, then back to London.
We would fly into Dublin, then maybe rent a car or just train and public transit everywhere we need to go.
Can I have some help planning my trip? I'm really into the breweries but all of the brewery tours I saw had pictures of old people, so fuck that I'm 25.
Any advice or suggestions for Ireland would be appreciated.
>>1114083
Not from Canada so it might be different, but from what I've researched, it's much cheaper to fly into Dublin than London.
>>1114084
Yeah, my sister lives in London so I'm going to visit her for a couple days. I've been to london a few other times so I'm only going to see her, then go somewhere during the week because she works, then back to london the following saturday or sunday. At least that's the plan.
>>1114083
Do you mean breweries (of beer) or distilleries (of whiskey)?
If you mean the former, the Guinness place in Dublin is friendly to all-ages, although it is very much a tourist attraction - albeit one that is interesting and informative.
The one distillery I've been to in Ireland is at Bushmills, in the north. I'd strongly recommend it, actually (not least as the Giant's Causeway is just down the road, and the landscape round about is stunning, although the town of Bushmills itself sucks...

I'm considering travelling to sub-Saharan Africa in the not too distant future. In particular, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia have caught my interest.
Are there any other countries in the region you guys would recommend? Preferably English-speaking ones where the crime rate isn't too ludicrous.
Thanks, /trv/
Swapkomund in Namibia was one of my all time favourite places and I cannot recommend it enough. One of the few places that felt safe enough to walk around alone at night
>>1113989
Sounds nice; I'll have to check it out. Thanks
>>1113985
Crime rate is ludicrous everywhere; you just need to be have common sense.
Chances are you entry port would be Johannesburg, South Africa. There are a couple of places there you could see or at least pick up some essentials before you head to the other places.
I'll vouch for Namibia; it's one of my favorite places.
Someone sell Australia too me. My friend invited me on a trip to Aus for "about a month". I can get the time off work and I have money, but is it worth it? Australia just seems like a cultureless wasteland with lots of spiders.
What's the appeal?
Ausfag here.
What are you into?
If you're into camping and swimming in rivers and waterfalls, then Australia is great. I haven't heard of any visitor here not loving it. There's also a shit load of pubs/bars and shit.
I guess you'd have to specify what kind of holiday you want for a more specific answer
>>1113806
culture? is it just pubs?
>>1113815
Ha, well, honestly no, not much culture here. Unless you want to check out the indigenous population and such.
But then again, that's just me, a different aussie might disagree wholeheartedly.

>>1112269
Shame, I already fell in love with your country.
>>1112248
Is this masters level work you want to do in the US? Maybe wait...get your degree done in your country, work/intern a year...make more savings...then come on over on your own funds. Engineering degree debt isn't a stupid idea, could have little risk, but it's not the only path.
Want to do computer engineering and focus on security? Might get some college to pay your way for that one, being a non-asian and higher chances of not being declined some security clearance.
Going to Amsterdam this Friday for the sole purpose to go to the red light district. Anyone have any tips for me? I'm going with my buddy and we're staying for 2 weeks in a hostel.
yeah dont go lmao. its probably not worth it. Saying this as a dutchman
>>1111446
Already got my tickets though. I was thinking about going to Paris too or Antwerp. They got some good shows going on around there.Brian Sanaji, Rebekah. DMZ and Gothtrad are plaing in Amsterdam though the same day as those.... decisions decisions...

You people are the worst.
What's good my dudes, happy Wednesday.
Feel like doing an image dump of some of my favorite pictures of my time here in Ukraine. Currently in Mariupol.
Also AMA if you are interested in coming here.
Mariupol police station that changed hands between police, Ukrainian army and DPR separatists. Ended up setting on fire and abandoned.
Lots may be /pol/ related but you guys aren't as much shitposting assholes
Shrapnel damage in Eastern Mariupol. Cat for scale
GRAD rocket damage/repair in one of the schools hit
