I think you might want to visit the country first before you make a decision like that.

Argentinians don't like British much -- that whole Falklands thing. Unless you're a real masochist (or an idiot, which you may be judging by your post) Argentina probably isn't the smartest idea.

>>1070785
Why the fuck would you want to live in Argentina?

Hi there, personally I haven't done it myself.

That said I know there's a lot of different accomodation along the way, camping at a site with showers is about 8-10€ a night, where hostels and bunkbeds are likely to be around 15-20€ per night.

Sleeping in the woods are great from late april throughout summer, you would just need a sleeping bag that can dry quickly, then if it rain a little or there is a heavy dew you just dry it in the sun around noon.

Travelling outdoors in France and Spain is nice from the end of april until late october in my oppinion. For this season a tent is unnecessary unless you like the privacy.

Thanks for the answer
I was thinking about maybe leaving in May, in order to be right between the chills of the end of winter and before the heat of summer. Also spring is beautiful so...
I'll look for informations concerning shelter in the Pyrenees, I want to be outside as much as possible but need to know more about the crossing of the Pyrenees (Nights are cold in the mountains and I'm still unexperienced)
I'm still undecided concerning bringing a tent or not, it sounds reasonnable in case I'm caught in heavy rains one night but we'll see. I still have a lot to decide anyway

>>1066476
Yes, the thing with a tent is that you'll need to carry it around for the day where you need it.

Unless you can afford to invest a lightweight one it's really a lot of weight in your backpack, for no to little use.

When walking far distances I've heard that 12kg of backpacking equipment is the most comfortable.

Bumping, I figured a lot of you guys would be in Ireland or Northern Ireland to see the Easter Rising centenary. I expect most will fly into Dublin, so going to Belfast might increase my chances of flying standby.

>>1073055
Did you read the sticky? There's some info in there about sites for finding affordable flights.

Also look at Iceland's airline, last I looked 5hey were pretty reasonable and they'll give you a day layover in Reykjavik if you want to add a day in Iceland to your trip.

Going to Northern Ireland are ye?

Unlucky, I'd rather skin my own bollocks. None the less, don't pay that. It's extortionately expensive.

Best bet to do as >>1073346

the real risk would simply be the money falling out and you loosing it

money belts are discreet, but professional thieves know to look for them (that being said they are a minority)

depending where you are it may or may not be likely you will get robbed, you might be more at risk of being detained by security because you're carrying cash unusually

if the money is just in your bag it's much less likely that if it's on your person because of screening

you would have to take your money belt off to pass security, which is a hassle, but that's how I do it. if it's in your jacket they will probably take the cash out when you pass security, showing the whole world it's there

however when I was in a really bad part of the world I carried cash like a drug mule, by wrapping it inside my inner thigh in glad wrap and tape, or inside my underwear.

one thing I can say for sure though is that if you're bringing cash you ought to wrap it in a zip lock bag with tape and the amount written on it, so if security takes it out they know you will notice if a note "goes missing", turkish security are some of the most corrupt I've ever dealt with

Gonna be in India this summer. Any tips on how not to be pickpocketed? Is a wallet chain effective or does it just draw attention to where your wallet is?

>>1073376
Just keep a regular wallet with not a lot of cash in it so if they take it you won't lose much. I don't know about you guys but when I wear pants and a shirt I don't tuck the shirt into the pants so it actually hangs over the pockets. Makes it a lot more difficult to both see if there's anything in them and put your hand in there.

If you're taking night trains or buses just wear a money belt under your clothes so that if someone tries to jack your shit they won't get to the money. I would also take a lightweight bike lock to lock your backpack when you sleep.

You already live in the best party spot in the world.

P.S. You can't dodge the Brits.

I went to Heraklion a few years ago and it was nice city. Drink a ton but mostly at cafes and bars. Someone told me while we there that it's a known for its nightlife along the beaches, I guess in Hersonissos and Malia, which are nearby the city. I was there in January though, so it wasn't peak season.

If you go to Ibiza it'll literally just be Chav central, those fuckers ruined the island.

Prague and Berlin are fucking amazing for Techno, but no beaches.

Riga has dope beaches, but I'm unsure of the beach nightlife (the clubs are super sick as well)

Croatia is just the cream of the motherfucking crop for beach parties, but may be far and expensive.

I would. But this thread will probably be deleted. The only stamps I'm missing on my pussy passport are East African and East Indian, for similar reasons. Here is a Muzzy I fucked, but would only do anal to preserve her purity.

They have some great whores there

Go Surfing man, Playa Hermosa or Costa Dorada are two of the top surfing spots in the world

also thinking of going here. im not a super experienced traveller so do you recommend I avoid hostels and stay in hotels?

sos hondureno?

Did you not think telling us where you're moving might be relevant? Dutch people are relaxed, have money, are educated, infrastructure is top notch.

>>1073255

Sorry. Amsterdam.

Raad these books:
Stuff Dutch People Like (also a blog)
The Undutchables
The Xenophobes Guide To The Dutch

I genuinely found them very interesting, and I'm Dutch.

The Northeast. Places like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, D.C, and maybe Baltimore if you have the balls. Anywhere else in this country is a culture-less, soulless shitheap. Trust me.

>>1072986
The only other cities outside of that is maybe Chicago and SF, Seattle if you are into that. Otherwise avoid America at all costs.

There are plenty of decent college towns out there in America's heartland where you'd get a good feel for the culture. It all depends on what you're into hobby-wise, sports-wise, drinking/drug use, etc.

Sorry OP, I don't have any advice but have a question for this /SEA/ thread:

Is it possible to have a quiet relaxing, month long trip in Phuket? I'd like to get an airbnb house next to a beach and basically just hangout there for the entire time. Like I just want to hang out on the beach, read, sleep and maybe once in a while head to a market for food. Is phuket a good island for this or should I look elsewhere?

I personally feel Phuket is shit. Is it beautiful? Yes, it some places it is extremely beautiful. However it is overpriced and full of some of the worst people you will meet in the Kingdom. Be ok with the fact that you will be overcharged for being a tourist, hell even if you live there they will try it. Some places go as far as listing Thai numbers for prices that are lower than the Arabic ones. Taxi and transprt are corrupt, police are corrupt (well this is true in the whole country, just worse here) But all of those nice pictures you see, they are leaving out of the hordes of Russian and Chinese groups. Sure individually they might be nice, in a group they are capable of ruining everything. Go look at Trat, Koh Lanta, Koh Kood, basically places that are not advertised to hell.
Pic is Koh Phi Phi ful of chinese. Should be allowed to have this many, but Thai boats don't care as long as they make money. 10 years ago this beach would have had about 3-4 small boats.

>- The city has lots of historic content, preferebly from the classical or medieval eras
>- Good nightlife and pretty guys/girls
>- Good food
Granada, Spain checks all of these boxes hard.

I was going to say Rome, i live there. Everything else will be a bit of a letdown after that.
Istanbul is not Europe btw. If you go there and are a pretty girl as your picture suggests then expect to get harassed by shitskins wanting "jiggy jiggy" and learing at you and touching you. If you are with a male they will leave you alone.
Munich, Vienna, Brugge, are nice, not too touristy but very nice.

>>1071163
I definitely recommend Porto, Barcelona and Berlin based on your description and my experience.

Uhhh....why do you wanna do that? I mean Passport is better in every way.

I can't imagine you would NOT get your passport back --the two are not the same thing.
Two ways to find out for sure -- at a post-office or something near you is a passport office. Call or stop by and ask them.
Or contact the e-mail or phone contact info available online.

Whats the point of these things?

There's a thread here: >>1066260 with answers to most of your questions. Reading through it would probably help.

But to start off with, make sure you didn't pack too much. You don't need much to walk to Camino. At all. If your backpack is over 40-45 liters, it's probably too big, and if you're carrying more than 10kg, you could cut some stuff out.

It doesn't cost very much. Basically the Camino costs as much as you want it to. Most of the time, you can find accommodation for around 10 euros or less, and the only other major expense is food, which can be quite cheap. Eating off the menu del dia is filling and usually costs 10 euros, fruit and other food can be found along the way in markets for cheap, and food in small bars is also usually inexpensive. Wine and beer are generally cheap. Most people say 30 euros a day is pretty typical, but it's possible to go cheaper (depending on how much you eat and drink).

A small note about price, though. Some albergues are "donativo," which means you can pay whatever you want. That doesn't mean it's free. You should pay about what you would normally, and maybe more if you really liked the place. They can be great places to stay, and someone has to support them.

Can't you just buy it in a real shop and see on the spot with a ruler if your computer would fit ?

Look at aluminum case/the ones media professional/musicians use. You're not going to want to put your PC into a fucking ordinary bag.
