Kuwait is safe to travel but no public displays of affection or allowed and alcohol can be hard to come by. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible, but it's technically illegal so you are dealing with a black, prohibition, type market and all that entails.

I'd suggest, after meeting the fam, take a flight over to UAE or Bahrain for more wesern style fun. There is shoping there but even Kuwaitiis go to the aforementioned destinations for leisure. It's funny being on a plane, they announce they have left Kuwaiti airspace, and there's a long...

tl;dr You can be out with a female, unlike Saudi, but no touching or PDA. She might have a male family member there, just because, though.

Okay guys thanks for the advices so Far! How is the public transport there? Or would it be better to rent a car?

Am i allowed to drive with a kuwaiti girl next to me?

>>1041750
£300 each..

£50-100 i suppose, depends what you're doing...obviously.

>>1041754
Eating, using public transport seeing the sex museum and Anne Frankes house and smoking a lot of weeeed. I am a bodybuilder though so I require a lot of food.. £60 each enough?

Do you know how to drive a stick, or have you confirmed this car is an automatic. Granted I had a confirmed automatic and still ended up with a stick before.

>>1040960

Confirmed automatic. I don't drive stick, so I called up the rental company to make sure. Any ideas on the health insurance stuff?

>>1040960
If I had a nickle for every time that has happened to me, I'd have a couple of nickles...

Irritating...

(I can drive a stick, but when in UK didn't want to mess with one more thing being in the "wrong" place... there was enough to deal with without THAT.)

How did you enter NZ in the First place without a flight-back-ticket?
Why do you want to leave NZ in summer though?
Be ready to pay 650-1000€ for the flight bra.

Not sure which cities you prefer, but it came out around 700-800 euros.

Go to a national park, or as many as you can. Bring bear spray and possibly mosquito nets. I've heard there are also rafting opportunities. Alaska is my dream trip, Gates of the Arctic National Park in particular. If you go let us know how it is

>There was a large migration of gangs from LA to Anchorage in the 80s and 90s

Say fucking what now?

I live in Kasilof, Alaska, and if you've never been up here I'd recommend visiting Homer and possibly Seldovia or taking the ferry to Kodiak which is rather inexpensive, Denali National park is pretty cool I suppose, Kennicott mines are interesting if you're into historical mining landmarks and what not, Seward and Valdez are both beautiful areas but there isn't shit there really aside from like camping and boat tours which I recommend doing the one in either seward or valdez where they take you right up to the edge of the glacier, pretty epic watching massive...

>How much job are there? I'm allowed to work 20% of the week there.

You can get an illegal job in a 7 11 store, but you will get exploited. Also anything in hospitality is good, try getting a kitchen hand job in a hotel or a large restaurant. The larger the establishment the more protection you will have from the law.

I live in Melbourne, so my advice on Sydney is limited.

Are you Chinese?

hopefully not too much, the tallest mountain in Australia is like 1500 feet, the continent is crazy flat

>>1040037
$500 for the emergency flight back home and your sorted anything more than that and you can make on the road.

some countries are real assholes about the (proof of) funds you have in order to enter the country and get the visa/visa entry. It's a roll of the dice, but you often see filthy backpackers getting pulled up for it, particularly ones that thought they could work whilst there.

>>1040046

Been to plenty of countries that list "proof of funds" as an entry requirement and I've never been asked to show mine. I think you're fine as long as you don't look like a miserable vagrant and are from a first-world country.

Eat as much local food as you possibly can. Almost all of it is amazing.

go to night clubs and pick up girls

Suck shemale dick. What else...?

if you think that the job prospects in colorado springs will be better than they are in rural west virginia, you're for a pretty rude wakeup call.

maybe it'll get better once a few other states legalize

>>1039832
Just the road trip is pretty easy math.

# of Miles traveled / # of miles your car gets per gallon * $ per gallon of gas

With 2 people driving you will only really need to stop to sleep once. Plus some money for food but you can bring that with you.

Its risky to leave for a road trip like that if you are not sure about your car. If you break down in some little town and have to get towed off the freeway they are going to overcharge like crazy. 4 tires for a small car like that is going to be $300+....

The job market is one aspect. My dad is the general manager of a convenience store chain, so if anything I'll be able to get something, even if it is a cashier.
We don't really have very many friends, I only have my mother here and she cant really afford to take care of me, and aside from my dad recently moving, all we've known is rural West Virginia. I know that we would be taken care of if we got there, the only thing is getting there.

>Any sort of trusted and affordable places to stay for solo traveler?
I think those are called Hostels.

>>1039813

I heard good things about hostels from /trv/. I've never been to one so I don't know exactly how it works. Where would you keep your stuff? just as close to you as you can? Or do they have some sort of locker for personal use?

>>1039823
Some have lockers in the rooms. Others make you pay extra for using a locked storage area by the lobby. It depends on the place.

>>1039377
I haven't properly lived there, but i've been there a bunch of times.

First question is: Do you speak Japanese?. Most people in Japan don't feel confident enough about their english to strike a conversation with you. Some of them will plain ignore you mostly because of this reason. This can be acceptable during a 1-2 week trip, but I imagine it can very quickly make a dent and take a toll on you after a few months.

Are you planning to work remotely? I'm in IT so I've been considering getting a remote job in the future, and spend 6 months there or so. Still just an idea.

>>1039384
Well. I don't actually. I wish i did but i dont. Ive heard that but i didint know if it was true. Im working as a nurse in Sweden so im guessing that finding work will be hard?

Is it expencive to live there? I wish i could work as an IT guy but i dont. Im not that good.

>>1039387
If you don't speak Japanese, your choices are not looking good. Even on IT, which is a highly globalized industry, there are very few jobs over there that don't require business level Japanese proficiency.

The only exception being an english teacher, there's plenty of people with ESL jobs here in /trv/, so they might be able to give you some pointers.

Sure.

I'm 22 and wrapping up university. I've traveled to about thirty countries over the course of the past three years, all with money I saved from working multiple jobs. I lived in India, saw the Gezi Park protests in Turkey, hitchhiked across Europe, and just came back home from Colombia.

I have a nice girlfriend and a very good job, especially for a student. I still live at home since I don't have to pay rent and can save more money this way.

As you said, nothing at home quite compares to the feeling you get when you're able to...

I graduated and taught ESL in various countries age 22-26 and travelled a shitload. The actual job was shit but the experience was amazing. I do hate the thought that my life "peaked" and I won't have so much fun again.

The first 6-12 months back home were pretty depressing to be honest. Now I've got a career on the go and making decent money and it's alright... I'm 27 now and am just focused on my job for the next few years.

I use my vacation days for short trips to Europe. In a few years time when I want to move jobs (or if I get...

I was actually considering doing the same thing, even though what I study is completely unrelated to languages, and my career path is actually one I want to pursue. My 'sensible' brain won out and I decided to get some career progression first before accumulating more debt, but I do sometimes wish I'd picked the other option. Oh well, I guess it's always an option if I change my mind about the career, or decide a career break would be a good idea.

Which country/countries did you teach in?

>how safe is germany right now
As safe as it's always been, which means most likely much safer than where you're from.

the picture is about the upcoming movie based on the novel "he is back again" and says "he again"

the paragraph under the picture says "refugee crisis is a boss matter now" and that Merkel is now in charge

>doesn't know which countries he should or shouldn't visit

sounds legit

>>1039311
How about you not be a shitlord and instead provide advice

>>1039316

How about you use Google instead of asking incredibly retarded questions like "tell me which entire countries I should avoid on the hike through Central Asia I'm probably never going to take."

You are not "going" to hike across Central Asia if you don't have any visas or clue which countries you shouldn't visit. You are "considering" hiking across Central Asia, or, more likely, fantasizing about it.

Oi oi lad

I'll make it short:

Belfast - shit
Manchester - full of immigrants

Go to Edinburgh, you will not regret it.
