If Ham Heights smells like ham, go there for sure.

When you going bro?
I'll be flying in on Saturday, staying with my aunt and uncle in Park Slope.

Williamsburg is full of faggy hipsters btw

>>1115728

Life long New Yorker here. Wtf is ham heights?

>>1115557
Go hang out at a good night spot, have a few drinks and chill, just start randomly talking to people, or go stay at a backpackers

>>1115557
Fuck using tinder.

travel with other people

I should add that when I say trendy I just mean popular, not "chic" or fancy or anything. I don't care if they serve 100 different types of scotch or lit their shots on fire or whatever. I just want a popular place to chill where we can maybe talk to some strangers and shoot the shit

Bumpo. Although different approach to OP, will be spending about a week in Seoul before moving on. Best eats and nightlife are what interest me.
Also, I unapologetically love k-pop.

Nobody?

Thinking about spending my last weekend there in Jeju.

I know a relatively large number of black Americans are emigrating there, but would you recommend it for tourism?

>>1115246
Yes and no, its the safest and most stereotypically West African country, so if W.Africa is on your bucket list do it. However make sure you have an exact list of what you want to do and keep your wits about you, don't ever let on you're a tourist.

>Do people speak English well in Eastern Europe?
I'd say as in the rest of European countries where English is not a native language. You can get by somehow.

>When to go? I could go from august to december
Do you seriously need an answer for this? You are from Europe yourself, you know the best how the weather looks like in different seasons over here. Gosh...

>What to pack?
Clean socks, underpants, few shirts, phone, charger, some pills if you start feeling...

Your interests and history sound a lot like mine, also 18 hailing from Tallinn. No advice for u my moose friend, just make sure to visit our Hungarian cousins

>fairly experienced with travelling
>Never stayed in hostel before

Anyhow, I recommend to ditch interrail and take buses instead, they're so much cheaper, especially in the baltics and east-europe, but in the west there is cheap buslines too. You save heaps and maybe meet some more genuine travellers and locals besides from sharing a train with every other 18 year old european with the same idea as you, or even worse, 18 year old american kids going crazy because they're allowed to drink.

Staying...

L.A.? Why? Go to San Francisco, see some national parks in NorCal (yosemite, redwoods), do Highway 1 (santa cruz, santa barbara, hearst castle area), wine country (sonoma if you're a NEET). MAYBE drive down to Anaheim if you really need to see Disneyland. If you go that far you might as well spend a couple days in San Diego/Coronado/La Jolla.

>>1115097

This. Hit norcal starting in san francisco. If you can drive, go north to humboldt bay n explore around there. BEAUTIFUL country up there!

also, I provided my (real) name, phone, and address ( I did want to go when I was booking, duh)

well, bump.
I still haven't paid.. don't know if I have a ticket or not lol

>>1114787
No advice to give other than this; that sounds fucking sweet. You're already bound to it, so just take the adventure. Like you'd ever regret it.

What I did.
Stay at Costa Rica backpackers in San Jose best hostel there, may need to book ahead.
Rente a car will be like 500 or cheaper i don't rem but the ppl at the hostel can hook u up.
Drove to monteverde to see the cloud forest, chose over aranel cuz ppl said aranel is all tourists and there is a chance u can't see unless it's a great day.
Went from there to puntereas, I did not spend any time tere nor do I recommend caught a ferry across and went to montezuma. At montezuma stayed at HOtel Lucy, 20 usd a night to sleep on the beach I'd...

Costa rica is great, safe and beautiful. The food is normal, i guess. Oh, and don' leave anything in the car when your not there. Bot even 2 minutes. They crack that shit open in 10 seconds, get your stuff and run.

humpity bumpity

i was traveling through southeast asia and i would defently recommend it!

such a great place, lot of stuff to do & places to visit. wicked cultural & traditional things to do n see as well, like golden tempels, huuuuge statures and mighty landscapes.

traveling, weather by bus, plaine & train is cheap as fuck & the they got good food too!

exotic animals, like elephants, tigers, monkeys, too see! Waterfalls, tropical woods n jungles,

crazy night outs inclusive
its just sick mate

>>1113496
Your time of year for the travel is GREAT for this region.

As a first time traveler, I'd advise Costa Rica handsdown every time vs most of S. America. Rainforest canopy and cloud walks, great waterfalls and rafting, beaches, boating, volcanoes, coast to coast amazing, great eco-niche hotels who are very inexpensive yet luxurious both, and very english friendly. I'm quite partial to their Lizano steak sauce at every meal. You can hire your own damn guide one-on-one with a pack and gear (!) for a 3 part...

Have not been so SEA, but from the many stories I've heard compared to my own extensive experience in SA:

It seems like SEA is cheaper than SA in every way. Especially Brazil has gotten expensive as fuck. There is also a lot of bro-tier partying in SOME places in SEA, while others are a lot less touristy and accessible, might cause a bit of a culture-shock (which can be a good thing if you are looking to broaden your cultural horizons).

SA was to me a slight culture-shock, but not that much. In general Brazil, Chile and (especially) Argentina have some similarities...

Bay Area native here. That sounds like a cool trip! I haven't used Airbnb, but do you want recommendations for food, coffee, or other stuff like that? San Francisco and Mill Valley nearby have some great restruraunts cafés, and bakeries.

Seattle has hostels and plenty of AirBnB. Not sure what additional advice I could offer... Book early?

Hey dudes thanks for replies. Booked a hostel in the city of Seattle. That's sorted.
Would love some advice about where are nice areas to stay in San Fran?

You have to click on "contact the host". That's under the map on the mobile app or under the name of the flat on the Web page

allright thanks I'll try that!

You'll be fine.

I spent about a month in Colombia, from mid-September to mid-August of 2015. I went there without any real knowledge or expectations of the country and ended up loving it. In fact, I'm very eager to see more of Latin America, a region which has never been on my travel radar.

Colombia isn't the safest place you could visit. However, the risk you run of getting kidnapped by rebels or shot dead in the streets is minuscule. The biggest threat to safety you'll face...

Don't worry, as long as you don't go to very far away from the tourism places. Don't do stupid things and try to hide your expensive things when you are in a very crowded place. If we talk about getting kidnapped I'm almost sure nothing will happen to you because here the people don't give a fuck if you are foreign or not, they just care about money so don't show it and that's all! PD: days ago some crazy motherfuckers killed a CIA agent, US taken them to a us court, They got their ass kicked. Since then nobody wants to bother foreign people...

I am also planning a visit to Columbia and I have an expensive travel bicycle that I want to take. If I lock it up, will people see it and take a wrench to it and disassemble all the parts they can get? It's not obviously top of the line, but I definitely have over $1500 in this bike.

Did you meet serbia strong?

avoid Moldova ( not even Balkans tho ), Kosovo, Albania and obviously Turkey and you'll be fine

Istanbul is beutiful.

I went to St Petersburg and Moscow for 10 days in April. You literally have nothing to worry about as long as you remain fairly central in the cities. We never went very far out so I can't tell you how dangerous it is in the dodgy areas but I doubt it's much more dangerous than any American ghetto. All the Russians we met were very friendly and helpful. St Petersburg is more European than Moscow, so people are more open minded and speaks better English. You definitely won't have any issues finding people speaking English, quite the opposite - they'll probably...

Yea, I even used the comparison that you used about areas of cities being a big difference to my friends and they still didnt see it (walk 2 blocks the wrong way in shitcago and you will be dead).

Did you enjoy your trip? Would you go back?

>>1110556
>But there is definitely a big difference between what the Russian government thinks and what (decent) Russians thinks.

I hate Russians like you that shit-talk your country to American muds and Western Europeans, just to try and curry favor with them.
