Going to Austin for a music festival this April. I have one free day while I'm there, what should I do for fun on that free day?
40 miles south of Austin is New Braunfels, home of Schlitterbahn, a very large family-owned water park (I think it may be the world's largest, actually). It regularly gets all sorts of amusement industry awards for best water park and so forth, and is more-or-less the only water park that can compete with Disney water parks on their level.

I`m visiting Manhattan next summer and decided i would pay a visit but i need to know some shit first.
What shit is there to actually do besides the view?
Should i wait a few more years till there is more shit to look at and more shit to do?
Is it just butthurt nostalgia fags who hate it?
Has anyone here ever been there?

The Twin Towers were cooler. Surely most can agree with that.
But the new one does have steak-fries served at the top, so there is that.
>>1061924
I was just there a couple weeks ago. I'd say if it's your first time in NYC, do Empire State building instead. Lines are probably longer, but it has more soul than One WTC.
I only dislike it because it clashes with the rest of the skyline. The Twin Towers actually looked like they fit in New York, not fucking Hong Kong.
What's your favorite heritage railway/old timey train ride in the world?
Its almost meme tier but its one of our oldest and best patronised. If your a hard core /n/ it may not be for you though. We have a few others but none to this scale I'm aware of.

How about the West Coast Wilderness Railway in Tasmania?
They have the world's coziest commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYEfzopALrw
Took the train (3rd class) from Nampula to the middle of nowhere where the track runs out. That was pretty wild.
Hey /trv/ anyone have or know about WTC (Twin Towers most notably) pictures and videos like this? .

If you know any, just link me to them. I'd especially like pictures of the lobby. thanks in advance

What do you guys think about travel for Brazil and see all the beaty of the country?? Not the normal landscapes and places, but the most secrets and coll, like the Turtle´s Beach or Costazul ?? And what do you guys think about all this living at a home near the beach that can hold 10 people and with a car ?? Sorry for my horrible english guys

Nice one. I did Oman with my fiancee last year; I don't think any two people have ever had a better vacation. 10/10 country, 13/10 if you include musandam.
I'd like to get to Jordan next. How poisoned by tourism/destructive 4x4s is Wadi Rum?
Do you have any advice for long bus trips?
And I mean, really, really long bus trips, like over 40 hours.

I didn't find any general for Argentina nor South America.
Hello Argentinos, I'm going to Argentina on January 8th with a friend of mine, I'd like to know if there is any place in Buenos Aires for some foreigners to party and get girlus to an expensive hotel. My friend doesn't speak much spanish but I do have a pretty decent one.
I'd like to know about the names of the places so I can google them. We are staying on Buenos Aires for only 3 days as we want to arrive to Montevideo on Monday for some weedy business.
Thanks!
>>1062947
chilean bro here. Educated youngsters will probably speak english just fine. Palermo soho is a place with good nightlife, puerto madero maybe
>>1062957
Thank you for the info, also, do you have any idea about the blue dollar? Is it still working?
>>1062971
Argentinian here
The blue dolar doesn't exist anymore. 1dolar=13.5 pesos argentinos
If you want to party look for "boliches" in Palermo, Puerto Madero or near by those places. Look for the names then google them on facebook and check what kind of people go there and if you like the place in general.
Kika, Rose Bar, Esperanto, Asia de Cuba are some popular places but that doesn't matter much
Hey homos got a question(s) on my mind --> is Austin Texas good?
I'm aware that's so general but do any of yall live there? What's the city like? How does it compare to NYC or Pittsburgh? I might be living there for a couple years (might be going to ut Austin) and not sure if its gonna suck or not
>>1062684
It's one of the most fun cities in America. Youthful, progressive, open-minded (in a tumbl kind of way, avoid not being white anywhere in Texas), and fun. Good weather, good beer. The major downsides is that it's real damn hot in the summer, and there's not much short travel options, you have to fly at least 1.5 hours to go anywhere worthwhile (except San Antonio of course).
Highly recommended. Enjoy UTAustin bud.
>>1062684
Its a cool hip young city, partially ruined by shitty Californians. One of the few places you can get a nice professional job and still not being in a shitty bloated city like Houston or LA or something. Best of all you get that sweet Texas low cost of living (shootouts to HEB) and no state income tax.
>>1062983
It's only 100+ degrees for a couples weeks at most. I personally don't think it's that bad. The winters are so tame that it more than makes up for it
Items that make your travel life a lot easier. I like this large wallet thing to pack together all my tickets, passport, wallet, items, earbuds etc. It's just nice to be able to have a central thing to throw everything into and be able to find later.
>>1062486
Where can I get one?

If you lose it your travel is literally over
I have nothing right now; no money, no skills, no education and the third shot job I've been sick of this year. In a week I'll get paid a few hundred bucks. Should I hit the road again or stay in one spot and try to plan for my future? Look for a steady decent paycheck/benefits or say fuck it and walk south for the winter? USA btw
>>1062390
Walk south until you hit Guatemala or El Salvador. Then stay there.
What are you going to do when your hundred bucks runs out (which will happen very fast)?
If you think you can just wander around the globe doing odd jobs making ends meet... sorry it doesn't work like that.
To travel you either need savings or you can go the ESL route (that usually still requires a 1 year contract).
>>1062407
I have been doing pretty much exactly that for the past few years but only in the US if you don't mind roughing it and traveling primarily by foot and hitching it's really not that difficult. How would I go about doing an esl program? Better to get certed on my own time and then look for jobs or to do an actual program? Where do you recommend for the latter?
>mfw I just cancelled my flight after my overbearing and manipulative family pushed me not to go
Think I'm gonna explode and travel the world soon, there's no end in sight
Why did you cave?
>>1062112
They somehow did it, anon, they made me think the worst even though I know it's irrational, I was going on my own and they twisted it into if I get killed etc no one would know.
I JUST DONT KNOW ANYMORE, I CAN'T STAY HERE TOO LONG, ILL END UP LIKE THEM ANON, DAY IN DAY OUT SAME SHIT, I CANT DO IT, IM GONNA EXPLODE
IM GONNA FUCKIN RUN AWAY
TELL ME WHERE I CAN GO AND WORK WITHOUT A PASSPORT
What a fucking pussy
Need some ideas of places to take my gf on holiday (We're britfags for reference). Preferably with some amazing scenery or culture, and fewer tourists?
She's got relatives out in New Zealand and I've got some out in Canada so, bonus points for cool places in either of those (Yes I know they're big)
>>1061770
i reccomend interlaken, swizterland
Iceland, Switzerland
NZ is a good choice too but plane tickets are going to be rather spendy
Not OP but I'm interested too.
We went to Denmark almost exactly one year ago. The snow made it beautiful. Amazing culture, good food, beautiful cities. Would recommend.
>>1062027
Is Iceland in winter worth it? I know that summer is a must but I want to see some northern lights.
I know you people at least know someone who does this. I want to work for 6 months and travel for the other 6. What sort of jobs (other than being ridiculously wealthy already) allow folks to do this?
I'm willing to slave 7 days a week for those 6 working months as long as I could leave for a long time and then come back to work again.
Construction work in Australia has really good pay and hours
>>1062960
I pretty much do this. Contract web developer. Can also do it during travels if you get remote work.
