>What
That's a disrespectful way to talk about women.

>What's some good shit to do in Miami beach?
1) Travel during Dec-Mar
2) Eat/shop/party
A local and tourist schedule should look quite similar to the following:
9PM get knockout gorgeous designer duds dressed to go out. Hit up Lincoln Road or Design District restaurant, get sloshed while people watching, wait for clubs to open at midnight.
Midnight: dance til 4ish or so, club hob, bar hop, maybe even an afterparty club
4AM-7AM breakfast on the way to your hotel, or at least a cuban pastele and cortadito at a walk-up window. Alternately, Pizza Rustica.
8AM Change into swimsuit, lay on beach til it's too damn hot at 10AM.
10AM Go to room. Shower. Lay naked in the air conditioning on your white sheets in your art deco hotel room.
10AM-9PM. Do nothing. Sleep. Watch hilarious Univision. Order takeout. Snack on smoothies or sushi. Eat low carb. Stay in the shade. Nap some more. Go to the spa. Get a Brazilian wax and pedi. If you must get up to eat, do a little shopping while out. Come back until Sun goes away or try the hotel pool.
Rinse, repeat. Seriously.
If it were Dec-Mar, you could actually be outside more early or even all day, a little earlier for sure, and there are a ton of festivals. Since it's summer, damn, it's unbearable. Remember locals only go out at night, and you need to hydrate constantly and move from air conditioned cars to buildings as fast as possible. What kinds of nice things are there to do in Miami?
Coral Gables: shopping, dining, historic homes x15, biltmore sunday brunch, venetian pool swimming.
ArtWalk night, a few choices for this combined with some wine and dine fun, maybe even clubbing. Be safe though :/
Fairchild, Matheson, Old Cutler, Coconut Grove Bike or tour it somehow. It's kind of dead/quiet at night. Day is best. Can be combined with Vizcaya, and right into a Key Biscayne sunset drink, or some partying off Brickell.
Get out on the water. Whether you take a night fishing trip out of Haulover, charter a sail on a catamaran, or something like the stars' homes tour out of Bayside on a party boat, do it.
Homestead mexican food, couple historical stops on the way, followed by a Keys drive, maybe a snorkel or dive boat at Pennekamp, drive down to Key West (3 hour drive each way), overnight it before coming back. Make sure to do sunset at Mallory Square and see Hemingway or treasures.
Everglades: Shark Valley tram (otherwise you'll be walking over gators). Maybe a air boat. Combine with some Little Havana 8th St fun on the way there or back, or some Pit BBQ. I suppose you could do bingo at miccosukee or catch a concert, but err if that's your thing. Winter is best. If you want to drive a long ways...go see Clyde Butchers gallery and do a night in Marco and Naples.
My father is planning a last minute trip to Winnipeg for his job and he wants me to come with him. Anything interesting to do around there or should I decline?
>>1139113
I was actually just there for a funeral; which was the highlight of the trip.
Depends on what your into.
Unless you're really bored of living, decline. Imagine Detroit except instead of niggers, you have natives. And instead of guns, you have rusty knives and broken liquor bottles.
The flagship downtown store is a dollar store. That's all you need to know about Winnipeg.
I am from Australia. Is it possible for me to learn to speak Spanish fluently (maybe above B2 in terms of CEFR) without relocating to a Hispanic country?
>>1139025
Oh why did they have the Brazil flag? Nevermind
as possible as with any other language, I've never been in any english speaking country but I'd say I'm kind of fluent.
I think you'd be able to find some Spanish expats in Australia since it's a popular destination, maybe you can find some language exchange activities in your town or in couchsurfing.
>>1139044
But I am 20 and these expats are not from my age group.
What is left of Alberquerque?
last i checked

Hi /trv/,
I was summing all travels I could do in my life and I was amazed of how potential cool things this country could offer. But, at the same time, I found weird I have never seen any Algerian thread in /trv/ as long as I remember.
What do you think of Algeria, /trv/?
>>1138911
I've seen algerians on /int/ every once in a while but that's it.
There was an Algerian anon who made a pretty good thread on /out/ a while back.
Pretty good post on /r/hitchhiking a while back about hitchhiking through the north.
It's definitely on my bucket list, but I suspect for every cool thing Algeria has, Morocco has something cooler.
I though Algeria was reluctant of mass tourism. I thought the visa was hard to get. Or am I mistaken?
>>1138915
But Morocco has touts.
What does /trv/ do when they feel lonely during their travels? Been on my own in Portugal for about a month and a half. I already read half a library, but still a bit lonesome!
Any tips?
do you live in a hostel?
get some friends? lol
>>1138663
Talk to people?
I still plan on traveling to France this winter regardless of what happened in Nice. I don't want to stop having fun because some faggot wants to ruin everything.
Good on ya buddy , can't let ISIS win, they want people terrified.
I'm still waiting for a Pokemon Go joke about the driver
>Times have changed and we should learn to live with terrorism
Do you really want to visit a country whose PM makes these kinds of comments?
Is American Airlines safe?
I want to travel by Air Canada because of it's safety ratings but a ticket to Tokyo will cost me $1,500 while a ticket with American Airlines will cost me $1,200.
Should I go with AA even though it's not as safe as AC?
When was the last time an airliner from a major North American carrier went down?
I would feel pretty safe saving the three hundred bucks.
Safety is never a concern when you're flying an airlines anywhere in the developed world. Your chances of getting into an accident are near zero.
AA costs less because it's more shitty. AC isn't great but it's a bit more comfy.
Redpill me on Iran lads, I'm 22 and hoping to book a trip to Iran in August, what should I see, which parts are least Islamised and what is Tehran like?
>>1137745
Why would you go to the Islamic Republic of Iran if you don't want to see things that are Islamic?
claim jewish ancestry
get a free trip to israel through birthright israel
Consider going in a cooler month.
I recommend Qom, Esfahan, Yazd and Shiraz.
>which parts are least Islamised
What exactly do you mean by this?
Places like Qom and Mashhad are obviously more conservative than, say, Tehran, Shiraz and Tabriz.
Tehran is a huge city with awful trafic. You need not spend much time there. Don't miss Khomeini's mausoleum though.
>>1137818
If you go to Israel you will be denied entry to Iran. Iran is very beautiful. It might be a sharia state, but there is nothing you should worry about. Don't miss out on Iran, it's a very safe, beautiful, hospitable and cheap country.

First post for Beppu! : 3
Starting my Asia trip this Tuesday. I will arrive in mainland Japan in august and will stay there for a month.
Any recommendations on what to visit? I got JRPass so transport isn't an issue.
I have already been to Japan before twice. This is what I have seen so far:
>Yamadera
>Sendai
>Ooarai
>Suwa
>Tokyo
>Shirakawa
>Kanazawa
>Kamikura
>Nagoya
>Osaka
>Nara
>Hiroshima
>Itsukushima
>Nagasaki
I will be starting from Fukuoka this time.
I am mostly interested in nature, architecture and generally good photo opportunities.
I seriously have a problem finding new places to visit. help.
>>1136923
Kyoto's nice.
What are the 10 best US states to visit? Planning a road trip for next summer and seeing what I can do
Cali, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Maine, DC, North Carolina, Vermont, Texas
I tend to preference New England quite a bit so some may argue. A list on the top 10 best states will also change depending on your interests and whether you want to see cities and urban areas or more remote and natural areas.
>Massachusetts
>Vermont
>New Hampshire
>Maine
>New York
>California
>Utah
>Washington
>Virginia
>North Carolina

It's depending on what the rest of my friends want to go. We are planning on buying a used school bus to avoid hotel costs and are looking at where we could visit.
I for one am more preferable towards cities, but also wouldn't mind seeing the Pacific Northwest and some beaches, so I'm still going through on what I can do
so i would really like to visit a Carribean island this year but really do not know much about the region
what is the safest, most beautiful, and cheapest country?
I was looking at the virgin islands and the dominican republic because they are so cheap but after doing some research I am hesitant because apparently they have ridiculously high crime rates
Now I am considering Aruba, Turks and Caicos, and Martinique
what do you guys think? also what would be my best lodging option? airbnb looks pretty nice
>>1134646
I've only been to the Dutch ABC islands. They were nice. Very touristy, of course, but orderly and calm. Mind you, this was 7 years ago, so things might have changed.
>>1134657
from what I have seen they are the safest besides martinique
I was going to book a hostel in the DR but the capital city is literally more dangerous than the ghettos of chicago
>>1134660
Eh, a friend of mine went there after a break-up to basically have sex with brown girls for a while. It very, very highly depends on which neighbourhood you go to. The touristy quarters close to the beach are alright.
Looking to travel somewhere, but I'm running into a problem.
I'm a crappy tourist.
I'm looking for some place is the United States. I'm not looking to go sight-seeing (such as the empire state building, mount Rushmore, the grand canyon, etc.), and I don't do outdoorsy stuff (such as fishing in Alaska or horse-riding in Montana). I prefer stuff like Vegas where I can enjoy the night life, go to a show, enjoy fine food, gamble, and overall have a good time. You know, actually do stuff rather than see a rock or a piece of paper someone wrote 200 years ago.
What would you guys recommend?
>>1134635
>I prefer stuff like Vegas
>What would you guys recommend?
Go to Vegas or it's less impressive places made for old fat women to play slots:
Atlantic City
Galveston
Reno
>>1134639
I live in Vegas, but Atlanta seems decent.
>>1134642
Atlanta is a shit-hole. So is Atlantic City. Depressing as fuck.
Questions about France here
is paris really that bad?
>>1138612
Pickpockets, dirtiness and grumpy Parisians aside, no.
Just avoid poor areas (and there aren't that many anymore) and/or overcrowded/overestimated touristic areas (such as Champs Elysees) and it's fine.
>>1138612
No it's not. Getting pickpocketed is extremely low if you're not an idiot tourist. Paris is nice, although parisians def can come off as cocky.
