What are the most dangerous/gnarliest things to do in your hometown?
walk around after dark

Play Chinese Fire Drill at the stoplight in front of the police station at 3 AM.
Don't put up Christmas lights and invoke the wrath of the Homeowner's Association.
Walk down to the high school and start vandalizing the luxury cars in the student parking lot.
Drive drunk on that one road with all the curves.
Shoot up heroin in the meth lab hidden in the attic of the half-million dollar house, right down the street from the high-end Korean brothel in the other half-million dollar...

gonna visit greece in a few days
any tips?.
I need :
good and cheap places to eat
places to visit(pls try to avoid saying tourist traps)
some typical greek stuff i can buy as gift
Greekfag reporting in for duty.
Are you looking to stay in an island or the mainland? Are you on a budget? What is it that makes you want to visit? Give us more info first.
>tourist trap
What does this even mean and why the negative connotation?
Greece is pretty big..could you be more specific?
It's a little touristy, but I was really glad to have gone into Brettos bar in Athens. Pretty sure they sell bottles there, why don't you get one?
Just been researching places in se asia for my next trip and uhh why is this random village 4 hours out of Vientiane a huge party destination?
It seems quite...random
Is this a rave or something like that ? Or just a bunched of drunked britain people ?

Just a quiet day in Vang Vieng t.b.h.f.a.m
And mostly Aussies.
>>1060176
Chance to start of with then it just got the reputation and that was enough to grow it. It's a beautiful location, nice rockclimbing, cool river, all that shit which was enough to attrct people in the beginning. Then a couple of bars appeared on the islands, someone must've realised you could have a nice day floating from one bar to the other. The larger bars started adding...

How's hitchhiking in South Africa? Apparently there's no public transport, so I'm not exactly sure on how to get around.
I could rent a car, but that's going to be expensive and back home we drive on the right.
>>1060166
You face a decent chance of having a knife implanted in your jugular while you try to signal passing cars.
I don't usually give a damn about this shit but crime is pretty fucking high over there. Roadside robberies/killings are fairly common.
I'm sure just like any other destination you'll be safe as long as you don't act like an idiot but in this case just hire a car and have fun independently.
>>1060202
Fair enough, it is what it is.
How much does gas cost, more or less? I'll be trekking around some other southern African countries first so I won't be spending a whole lot of money there, but South Africa is a bit more expensive.
>>1060166
There are inter city buses plus the train. Translux and Greyhound are the big bus companies and South African railways(Shoshalosha Meyl) runs the long distance trains. Joburg and Cape Town run somewhat good transit systems(bus,BRT) and the vans pick up the rest. Be careful using the commuter rail,they go through townships.

I am a UK citizen looking to take part in the IEC program.
I'm really confused about a few things, I've been trying for a while now but I can't seem to complete the questionnaire to determine if I am eligible to apply. I make it part way through and it tells me I am not eligible to come to Canada through the IEC program, and so I can't make my profile. For the last year I was under the impression that I met all of the criteria for taking part in IEC.
I'm really worried about this, I was hoping to use the program (as recommended by boarder...

Yeah I just checked the website and I get the same answer even though I answered the questions as a person from the UK who is eligible to apply for IEC would. I suggest contacting the high commission in London about it. The application process for a work-holiday should be easy, the one for Australia is just filling out the application directly, no questions asked.
Canadian immigration is kinda fucked up. As a citizen I get treated like a criminal almost every time I come back into this country.
>>1060242
Holy fuck i figured this shit out. I was supposed to choose British citizens as opposed to United kingdom and colonies on the first page of the questionnaire. I feel kinda stupid now.
Thanks though.

Hey /trv/, I am planning on moving from the US to New Zealand for a few months this spring/summer. I'll be in a lace an hour north of Auckland. Anybody have any suggestions or tips on living there?

Hi guys
I'm going to London for a few days. I've been there a few times so I don't need to see all the landmarks again. Any tips for some great things to see? Best Christmas market? Best burger in town? Cool street art? Strip clubs? Anything!
Just get down to Soho got independent restaurants, cool bars arts and strippers
Is it possible and/or reasonable to go to England on a visitor visa and then while over there as a visitor, find a job and switch your visa to a working visa?
visa visa visa
It is not possible. Visas have to be obtained outside the UK. What are your qualifications? Basically you can get either student visa, skilled worker visa (employee sponsored), or a visa as a wealthy investor or for starting your own business in the UK.
>>1060063
Bummer. I'm a web developer with a degree in computer science and couple years experience. So the skilled worker visa shouldn't be too out of the question? It seems like companies don't really advertise if they're willing to sponsor. Maybe that means its uncommon for them to do so?
Hey /trv/ I got a few questions and would love some advice. So I've been planning a trip to Europe for the past few months, which my buddy was gonna come with. Well he bailed today for what ever reason. The original plan was on Jan 28th we were going to Sweden to hit the northern lights and thenstay in stockholm for a 2 days. Then we'd go to Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Berlin and then London be in london on the 12th, where I have family.
My question is should I cut out amsterdam, Copenhagen and Berlin, after seeing the north lights and go straight to London? I haven't...

I wouldn't advise you to cut them out of your trip unless you want to spend more time in London. Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Berlin are as good as London.
With the making friends bit, it depends on the type of hostel and the people there. I went to Berlin in June and stayed at small and cosy hostel. Everyone got on really well and i went out with the people I met a couple of times. In the opposite, I went to Stockholm in August and stayed in a very large hostel. No-one ever interacted and just sat in...

Lol Aussies are good company, made friends with some at EDC in Las Vegas this last year. My main concern is if there will be people in the hostels since I'll be going in winter time for my trip

>How to carry money (wich bank should i choose).. if i'm from México.
You should check with whatever bank you have and find out who their partner bank is. It's likely they have an agreement with a major US bank where you can use ATMs or talk with tellers for free. If not, choose a bank with international branches like Popular Community Bank, TD Bank, HSBC, etc.
>How much money should i bring with me in efective and electronic..
Keep your cash on hand as low as possible. ATMs are everywhere and...

>Is it really cold in Ohio?
If you go in the winter, it definitely can be. It depends where in Ohio you go, though. In Cleveland, near Lake Erie, it'll be cold and snowy. In Cincinnati, it'll be a bit less cold and may not be snowy as long as it is up north.
>My US. VISA allows me to travel to Canada?
Probably not, but check with whoever provides you the visa, just to be sure. This kind of thing used to happen, but since 9/11 the...

Unfortunately, the USA is actually the USM (United States of Mexico). You will have no problem finding a bank as a foreigner. I would google US banks and see what will allow foreign accounts OR visit your own bank in Mexico and ask about foreign currency withdrawals. A lot of banks here in the US have massive discounts or free services for Mexico since 40% of the country is now Mexican/Hispanic.
Yes, it is cold in Ohio currently.
No idea on the US VISA for Canada. I think the boarder has gotten tighter...

I'll be on a layover to Rome, summer 2016. I'll be there for a whole day, and I'm looking for some Romans to tell me what are some of the most important things to do/see in Rome.
One note, I've always wanted to try porchetta, what would be some good places for that?
>>1059906
porchetta is the shit mate.
the Colosseum is a must, that and the huge monument with the horse, forgot the name. Than i suggest a quick visit to vatican city, even if you see it from outside. other than that enjoy the food, that's the best part of rome
I'm from Rome and porchetta is nice, Carbonara (pasta) is better and Suppli (rice balls) also and Filetto di baccala (fried cod)!
Best for porchetta is not Rome but little towns around like Frascati anyway i suggest you Er Buchetto small place close to piazza della Repubblica (there are 100s of different "Er Buchetto" restaurant in Rome cause that means the hole)
There's a church made up of bones there, don't remember its name, it's pretty cool to see.
What do people mean when they say they traveled the coast on a motorcycle? Like do they just stop somewhere isolated and sent up a tent or something?
>>1059872
There is a couple ways of doing it, Isolated tenting areas is real tricky a lot of time. You spend as much time hunting for a spot as you do riding.
Campsites are almost worth the dollars just to know your not going to get fucked with or run off. Freecampsites.org is amazingly helpful too if you are in a spot well covered. couchsurfer is also super useful. Ive talked to locals and get invited to yard camp before but honestly slept like shit and was worried the whole time. Couchsurfing at least has reviews and what not.
