Hey there, I'm interested in going to a South American country.
Right now I'm looking at Peru which someone said was pretty cool, but does anyone have any suggestions of a South American country to meet qt 3.14 latina girls as well as being diverse and culturally rich? I've wanted to visit a SA country for a while, and it will be good for my depression to get away from New Zealand.
>pic unrelated
Information and advice would be appreciated. Stories and greentext welcome.
Uruguay and Chile have a lot of unique stuff

Come to Brazil and I'll introduce you several qts. Unless you are a fat slob... then I can't help you sry.

because it helps with all factors that cause depression
1. social country
2. amazing weather
3. cheap and accessible organic/grassfed food
4. nature
and I can teach you how to fight
either way, have fun
keep in mind Chilean and Peruvian girls are ogres

Don't trust him. He want to sell your kidney at black market.
Trust me, I am Brazilian.
What would be a good place to go on vacation? Never left the state, never been on a plane. Just wanna get away.
>>1118562
I've heard North Korea has great cuisine and beaches, not to say one of the hottest women on earth.
Since you never went anywhere in your life I suggest you start small within your own state, then the surrounding states, surrounding countries and then worldwide.

Indeed, it's not so bad as everyone thinks.
AmsterdamFag here
In June i'll be 21 and i want to visit the US.
I could use some advice, my friends would first come along, But theyre broke/no time/whatever. Otherwise i would go to Orlando and visit Theme parks, but going alone to Theme Parks is kinda weirdish if you know what i mean.
Side info: I don't mind walking for 4/5 hours straight. I can easily do that.
I deff want to visit New York, and do the touristy stuff and/or just get lost and find my way back to my hotel.
I also want to visit some highscale rooftop bar, you know. Those...

I would ask you why you would really want to go to Vegas, especially because it's very out of the way. But if you are going to be headed in that direction, San Francisco would be your best option. You can also take a train from NYC to Boston, Philly, and/or D.C. which are all worth a visit sometime or another as well.
Are you mainly interested in just taking some photography when you're in NYC (judging from the fact you plan on buying a DSLR when you get there)? If so make sure you check out other places other than Midtown or the financial district. Lots of...

desu i'm not into photography. Just want to take some pictures while i'm there. I could also sell the camera back in NL for profit, since the same model new here costs 750 instead of 400. So i can easily sell it for 650/675.
Vegas, same thing as NY. Have seen it everywhere, heard of it everywhere and actually like casinos.
I just did some calculating. I think a good amount would be 2-3k for Ticket, hotel and car.
KLM non-stop, 1050-1200.
NYC Hotel (expensive as fuck) around 1k
Vegas...

Actually, two days ago my plan was to just keep it to NYC only. But since i'm already there, i thought why not visit multiple things.
/trv/, how do you save up for your trips?
inb4, uhhhh save?
I'm talking how do you do it? After bills and whatnot, how much do you put away?
>>1118445
sell ass bruh bruh.
>>1118445
>I'm talking how do you do it? After bills and whatnot, how much do you put away?
Before I started travelling, I saved about $3k/month.
I just didn't go out much, once a week to a pub with mates, had dinner and drinks with them for about $40. Rode my bike everywhere.
Didn't go out much otherwise, maybe the odd party once a month but generally didn't spend much for it.
Is she cosplaying Maria Hill?
>>1118462
3k/month wow. How much money were you making at your job?
I am going to Amsterdam in an hour, will stay there with my classmates for a week. No teachers just us.
>I am 20, so no underaged bully pls
Tell me what to do.
I hate parties, are there some nice churches? Is the van gogh museum worth it?
Amsterdam is not worth visiting more than a few hours.
>>1118523
Horseshit.
I stayed there for 5 days over New Years 2010/11 with my girl.
Was a magical place. Got fucked up on mushrooms and just walked around the red light district and the canals.
>>1118432
Van Gogh museum is worth it, but it will be busy. Check out the Rijksmuseum too.
Hey /trv/ I'm headed to Tulum in June and I'm wondering if any of you have been to the spot.
I'm looking for shit to look out for; predatory local practices, places in the city to avoid and all that.
This is going to be my first time out of country and I don't want it to be a shit show, please help me out
>>1117983
you have no escape, can-cunm xel-ha are a grind for gringo´s money;
in the other hand tulum is a prehispanic city that attires a lot of turists, there is nothing to fear there, you´ll see the ruins and retourn to your hotel to be asked for mo´ money
I've been. Beach is incredible (as pictured). It's quite long and most of it fronts onto jungle. You'll probably stay in the town which is quite a ways from the beach. A couple hostels and cheap motels right on the drag or a block off. I'd suggest hitchhiking or renting a bike in town to get back and forth from the beach.
The Tulum archeological site is worth a visit. There's also a pyramid site inland from town (forget name) you can visit by locals bus or tourist bus, but IIRC not really worth it, at least if you're going to go anywhere...

Really not expensive there. I remember getting a motel room right on the drag for like $15ish, and hostels were similar. Food was cheap and good if you made any effort at all to avoid the most obvious tourist traps.
My wife and I are having trouble deciding where to go on vacation this September. We have the following places in mind. but are open to any others:
1.) Belize
2.) Costa Rica
3.) Curacao
4.) St. Croix
5.) Anguilla
6.) Barbados
7.) Bermuda
We haven't been to any of these places before.
Does anyone have any input? Which of these is preferable for a guy and his wife and two very young children (2 and 10 months)? Again, any other suggestions are welcomed as well. We are trying to keep costs down as much as possible, and we were leaning...

Start checking on how much it cost to stay in the different countries. Gold mines are countries like martinique which is have dutch and half French. Some times the live real cheap and drive 5 miles and eat real cheap. The smaller places that do not get a lot of tourist but have good areas might be a good catch. Also look at Panama, on the Pacific side. Amd even Columbia can have some real specials near the beach.
Belize would be a good pick if you can get out in the keys. Key Cocker would be a good spot if you can set up something ahead of them. Just remember running water...

I've only been to Bermuda of your list, wife and I went by cruise. Was a great deal since the ship stays in pot, all of your meals are paid for on the cruise, see the island at your leisure. If you fly and stay there the price of your trip sky rockets.
>>1118501

That's Sint-Maarten/Saint Martin, my man.

ITT, top them if you can. Post your best travel pics. I'll post a couple of mine that I like -- not sure they're better, but they're mine...

On a beach in Uchinada, Japan. Also like this one from Beijing.
I spend some time with kite fliers when traveling... both of these guys seem to capture the joy of it.
Old Faithful in winter.

Are wool shirts worth the hype?
Cotton dries too slow without a dryer and my polyester shirts smell like ass.
Is this really the only option? What about linen?
I can't stand it for warm weather. I don't even sweat a lot and I only ever wear my merino wool stuff for warmth. Shit drives me nuts.
Polyester looks like shit and ends up smelling so I've still been sticking with cotton, unfortunately.
>>1117289
do you bleach your cotton on the road?
>>1117308
I avoid white when travelling but at home my white shirts are on point.
I wear a lot of h&m shirts that look like more than one material and they tend to look pretty good with shitty washes as it's more than one tone/the blacks don't look as faded because they're a grey fibers/etc. They're also super thin so they dry as quick as cotton can
OP just accepted a job offer at Sofia, Bulgaria. The job is language specific customer support.
Any experiences in travelling or living there?
>>1117257
Not my favourite place in the world, but it's a very hectic, vibrant city with lots going on. Also everything is very cheap, so if you have a bit of money saved up you'll be able to live very nicely. You'll need to watch out for the traffic, drivers are insane there
>>1117257
I've never been but I lived with a Bulgarian guy a couple of years ago, he was cool
Prepare to drink a lot of rakia and say "nazdrave!" a lot
The noodle place on the street in ops pic is pretty good.
I know a few people who are doing customer support for big companies in Sofia. It's a shitty wage if you only speak English but the Italian and Dutch guys that I met who do it get like 150 euros more a month.
Bar scene there is pretty cool. It doesn't have a name but there is a bar that used to be a horses stable then an underground publishing house during the communist period and now it's an illegal bar. Heaps of candles and no electric lighting. Fire waiting to happen but the vibe is pretty sweet there.
Plovdiv is nicer and there is a lot more to do there but Sofia is pretty chill. I lived in Istanbul through 2014 and 15 so I would go to Bulgaria a couple of times a month because it was cheaper to drink and have fun there. Also for private healthcare since the stuff on offer in Turkey was shit.
If you're happy getting paid shitty wages for a full time gig then I'd say Sofia is an okay place to live.
Sup /tee are vee/. I am honeymooning on a cruise ship later this summer, and want to know if it'd be ok to bring bondage gear with me.
Do you think they would confiscate rope (approx 300 ft), 8 leather locking restraint cuffs, a flogger, EMS shears, and miscellaneous metal items (O-rings, mini master locks, carabiners, etc)?
Any info or experience is appreciated. The website wasn't amazingly helpful: https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2261
You should be fine with what you listed. It's not an airplane, so they're more lenient with their policies. As long as you don't have any explosives, large weapons, or firearms, you should be fine.
Enjoy your cruise you kinky bastard.
From my experience going on a cruise; they scan the luggage before entry like they would at airport security. Also on the last night of the cruise; they asked us to leave our luggage outside of our cabins so that they can pick it up on the harbor.
>>1117006
>rope (approx 300 ft)
What do you do that need 300ft of rope.
any suggestions for what to do with an 11 hour layover at 2 am at New Delhi Airport?

Assuming you don't have an Indian visa and must stay airside, there are quite good, 24hr paid lounges at Indira Ghandi Intl. Napping areas, showers, storage, booze, food, wifi. I haven't personally spent more than about five hours there, but it was moderately nice if a little expensive. There is probably also an airport hotel if you need more privacy/luxury.
>>1116987
what if I got a day visa or something (haven't researched yet) and ventured into town
>>1117135
It'll cost you at least $70 to get a short-term visa...is that worth it to you?
I need your help, /trv/. I'm planning on backpacking from Barcelona to Marrakesh on June, not trying to do all of Spain but mainly focusing in Andalusia.
Some background first, 22yo exchange student from 3rd world country living in the NL for the past 5 months, have already been traveling like crazy. Right now I’m about to finish the semester and I’m planning on traveling a little bit more before returning home.
Mainly interested in the cultural/historical aspect of the places I visit, more likely to spend the nights resting after really long days walking...
