Cuales son los mejores lugares menos conocidos en Argentina? Fui a España el verano pasado y me encantaban ciudades pequeñas y tranquilas como Tarifa. Obviamente iria a Buenos Aires porque es imposible coger un vuelo a otra ciudad, pero yo no se que mas haria en Argentina.

Hey /trv/, real travel novice here.

I was wondering what is the best rewards program out there? I'm planning a trip to Europe and want to cut a bit of the price.

you are taking a single trip and you want to get rewards? good luck.

Also, as much as I hate, hate, Norwegian Air their rewards program is actually pretty solid. But then again an awesome rewards program does not make a decent airline.
>>
So unless you always fly one airline, doesn't it just make sense to get cashback?

I'm thinking of going on a working holiday in New Zealand. Should I go for it? I don't want to end up in a job with shitty management and coworkers yet I understand this may happen.

what country are you from? you can get a visa if you're in the uk

It's worth it. It will be unlikely that you'll find a great job there but you will have a ton of fun. Basically you go for the fun and the fact that you'll be in another country for a year or two and will be able to earn money to support yourself as most people can't afford to travel for extended periods like this.

Any particular reason you want to go to NZ? Australia usually has better job opportunities and more things to do.

Really? Are you talking about farm work or normal jobs in the city?

You go to an urban area and explore, idiot. Don't use known location if you want to be unique.

You have to have friends with you, I don't recommend doing this alone as many of these places can be dangerous.

For something easy that you can do alone, just walk along a railroad track or a river and see where it takes you. Your bound to find something interesting along the way, like graffiti, litter, or abandoned items.

Anyone here hitched something else than a car?

I've hear stories of people who were able to hitch a boat or a plane.
And wondered if anyone here has some interesting stories to share.

This is one I've heard a year ago.

>Guy wanna climb a giant vertical granite wall
> Wall was in a desolate area near the coast in Alaska
> He had to get to an island first
> drove his car as far as he could
>He found fishing boat who went in the direction of the island .
>Got a job onboard
>Went fishing with them for a week straight
> Finally dropped him of at the island
> He met some people there, hitched a boat and went to the wall with some other climbers

he met at the island.

From Canada, only been to in the U.S.A. before, been through 13 states, visited Alaska for a good week or so. I like just about anything, willing to explore.

Eurofag who was recently in a third-world country here.

Go to Asia. No matter what, Europe's a sight-seeing destination, Asia you can have adventures cuz' a lot of it is third-world level and being white and having money is different than being in Europe, where the majority is white and has living money.

Rent a bike and go offriading, crash into some shit, then pay off the cops, have a story. Meet some girls and enjoy being on the desired side, instead of the chaser.

What do?
I'm a Belgian guy, 24 and have been living in South-Africa for 2 years now on a volunteering visa (3 years term) without actually volunteering. Back then I thought that was the easiest way to stay for so long. Came here for adventure and live independent and met a wonderful south african girl. She is still studying (second year law) so her immigrating to Belgium is not an option for now and I don't want to do long distance.

Next year my visa is going to expire and laws have changed and the maximum term you can get now is 1 year... This is not long enough for me and I don't want to renew it every year.

Any advice on on how to stay here for as long as possible? Permanent citizenship is almost impossible to get!

just renew it yearly ffs

Why do you want to immigrate to Africa? Africa is third world.

>>1066814
I want to be able to get a normal job which I can't now because I'm volunteering and not allowed to earn money there. I deejay now and freelance as a graphic designer atm.

Just a quick question because I am curious:

Flying home with family from St. Maarten's last week. Pilot comes on and announces "Customs has closed in Philadelphia, they won;t stay open for us becasue we are an hour late, so we are diverting to Charlotte."

Anybody else run into this? Fucking customs closing at midnight at a major airport? I have never run across it before.

Didn't matter to me, connections were fouled up and getting out of Charlotte was as easy as getting out of Philly. But it seemed odd...

I didn't know Texas was the Singapore of the Murricas

If you're caught smoking a cig without the stamp do you get caned too?
>>
>>1065684
>Bastrop

Of all places, why Bastrop? My first job out of college was down there and I did not think it was a fun place. It's about 30 miles outside of Austin, which is very fun, but the road there is always extremely congested because of commuter traffic.

I seriously hope you have access to a car because there's no public transportation.

The one nice thing about the town was the state park, and that burned almost completely to the ground in 2011.

Time of year matters too. Are you going now, when it's winter? In a few months, when it's spring and pleasant? Or in summer when it's hot as balls?

>not knowing about interstate cigarette smuggling

Every state in the US taxes cigarettes at a different rate (places that produce them like North Carolina have ridiculously low prices, places like California attempt to snuff out smoking by making it too expensive). There's a lot of illegal money to be made in buying a shit-ton of cigarettes in one state and then going to a different state and reselling them for lower than what they cost there. Think of it as a slightly more elaborate take on the Seinfeld episode about Michigan recycling deposits.

That said, there's practically no enforcement of it unless cops are looking for a reason to be an asshole. The only reason that sign is there is because it's on the New Mexico border, and Texas doesn't want the poverty leaking in.

>>1065687
NY is pretty active about catching cigarette smugglers from Virginia.

From the list I've been to Mexico City, Vinales, Brno, East Bay and Southern Gulf Islands.

This year I will likely go to: Toronto, Grand Rapids, Todos Santos, Providence, St Louis, and maybe Beaufort as I plan on being in Savannah.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'm going to ask anyways. I'm hopefully moving to the UK in about half a year from now, but I'm kind of lost in the process. How can I rent a flat from abroad without having job there? Or to reverse the situation, how can I get a job without a proper UK address to prove I can pay the monthly rent? Of course I do have savings, but I can't pay 6 months' rent in advance just to gain the landlord's trust. I'd be grateful for any kind of advice.

are you dumb bro?

just use temporary accommodation (find a room on gumtree or whatever) when you arrive and find something more permanent when you are in the country

it's a 'hopefully' a year and a half away that is autistic levels of planning
>>
>>1067125
You misread my post, I said half a year away, that's actually not a crazy lot of time.
Also, why is it easier to rent a room than a flat? Isn't it the same thing when you're moving there unemployed?
>>
>>1067131
wow i did misread it

also renting a room is easier because its less formal, often for a non-fixed amount of time etc

try airbnb or gumtree

but this is assuming you are moving to a city

Will moving to a "happier" country actually make you feel happier?

I don't know how reliable those lists are, but happiness is contagious. Avoid countries and cities where people don't smile back and looking happy makes people wonder what drugs you're on. It's depressing.
>>
First you have to identify the reason why you're unhappy. If you can't fix it at home and for some reason think you can do it abroad then moving might make you happier, otherwise I'd say it's about the same anywhere in the world.
>>
No you'll feel even more miserable since everyone else around you is happy but you aren't

I'm going to be travelling to Norway and staying with older relatives for approximately a month. Most of them speak little to no English - some speak it well - and I don't speak a word of Norwegian.

Do the young people there speak good English?

Everybody speaks english.

I've been to Moss with my gf previous holidays, literaly everyone speaks english

Most people here speak English good enough for basic conversation, Janteloven could complicate things for you. How fucked you are really comes down to the colour of your skin and where you're from.
