The most important part is the mindset of wanting to get up and go, so you have that sorted at least. Next for the details. Well where are you from? Age/sex? How long are you looking to go away for? Just a long vacation or permananetly?

I currently live in North Carolina. I'm a 22 year old male. This would be an actual move. I'd visit my hometown here and there, but it would be a permanent stay

Okay are you employed at the moment? If so what do you do? Have any savings? What education do you have? Whats important to you in a place where you move? What about yourself, what are your hobbies and interests? Do you want to stay in the US or move to another country? I'm asking so many questions cause your first post was quite vague. I'm guessing from your first post that you haven't travelled much?

I feel you in any case bro, I am about to graduate and I am going to move abroad afterward but cannot decide between two different destinations. I have two different life paths opening up in front of me and its very hard for me to pick either one.

It's Paddy's not Patty's

If you want nature, go to the west coast, travel from Bergen and up north to Ålesund, the nature there is god tier

Yes, it sound good, but what typical places must We see. Something about travel from Bergen. What concretly/typical places, we must to see. Mainly we want to see Trolltunga, Trollsteigen, and I think it wolud be good to start from Bergen.

Hiking? /out/. Bring more water than you think, either sneaks or boots depending on terrain, bring food. Make sure the boots are pre-broken in. An extra pair of socks never hurts.

Where do you live? Pretty much every continent has a great location to do some hiking. I suggest starting locally (in your country if you can or a nearby one).

Don't invest a lot into gear until you're really into it, there's a lot of douches who wear $1000 outdoorsy jackets in my city who have never been outside of the city proper. I do recommend getting a good pair of hiking shoes or boots (depending where you want to go hiking). You can get those for $100.

If you want to do pic related you'll have to go to Hobbiton village in New Zealand.

Most laughable and overpriced tourist trap in the whole country, and that's saying something, considering they invented zorbing.

Just take nice pictures of cool and pretty places around the world, be a girl and get a gorillion likes on facey-b. That's a career.

It's really not viable, mate. Unless you're one top-top tier author, you're just going to have to face it.
Here are some points to consider:

1. Find a niche and start a Kickstarter/Indie Gogo
Like documenting X obscure activity around the world and some people might throw money at you. But this requires to be expert on at least 2 subjects (writing+niche)

2. Being a "digital nomad" and working a freelance writer job while living in cheap countries

There's a thread about this right now, check it.

>>1089241

If you're a decent writer, you can probably sustain yourself in the cheaper parts of the world doing freelance work.

What continent were you thinking of?

Try airbnb.com.

Oh my friend. Bakan diaspora. Well fast, the best way is to snoop around YouTube for lessons. Find a complete series and go by the title, it will describe what is covered. After that surround yourself with media in the language you want to learn. Movies, music and something that's written down.

brighton is a nice city, their entire economy is service based so there should be a good job market

Could try Liverpool? It's much nicer than Leeds, which I dislike too, and every other business opening is a hotel or restaurant. Plenty of signs in windows for waiting staff etc. I like the vibe but I live here and don't know your likes etc.

Manchester too? Like Liverpool in terms of amount of service businesses but bigger. It's like Leeds in some ways too, but far prettier and interesting.

Then there is London, it speaks for itself.

What kind of stuff do you want to see? It's safe and cheap, but you probably knew that already.

Is there anything to Czech land other than Prague and Cesky Krumlov? Any cool landscapes or medieval villages to check out? Cool castles? I'm also a fan of nice cathedrals so if there's any cities with one of those, point me towards it

check out czech switzeland, 'amerika' near prague

also karlstejn castle (near to which amerikas are)

also prague is just wonderful. living here for two years and still wasn't everywhere where I'd like to go

Nice band, m8. Haven't thought of them in ages, are they doing anything new?

>>1089105
I use https://www.hipmunk.com/ which checks pretty much every website out there.

If you're dates/locations are flexible, http://www.skyscanner.com/ is great because it allows you to pick a US --> Eu and it will tell you the cheapest cities.

Cheapoair.com is also nice because it gives you the price when you're looking at the calendar to pick the date, so you can see which days are cheapest.

Errrgghh. It'd be tight. Not impossible, but, luck would have to be on your side. If everything ran exactly on time, you had all your papers ready to go, and you RAN, you'd probably make it. Wouldn't reccomend it, though. Especially if you're near the back of the plane and have to wait around in customs.

Good luck. You'll need it.

>>1089057
Also, anything is possible

>>1089062

It's an EU flight so I won't have customs. Depends on the luggage if I have any, gonna be a small plane Canada Regionaljet 900, so does that mean that the luggage will get off the plane faster than if it was a 737 or something.

Anyhow, anybody that's used the Helsinki Airport Train Station would be useful, because when I used it arriving. It must have taken at least 15 minutes from leaving the plane, to arriving at the terminal front. But I hear they have a new entrance direct from the terminal? So I wonder how long that would take. As I recall it was stupidly deep underground.

Thxbro

I fill up my time adding items to my kindle, stuff to read fiction/fun stuff, usually some crime novel, or historical period piece that was in my destination's setting. I might read a biography of Klimt before Vienna, or brush up on a saga before Iceland, or review a Kafta short story before Prague, or just read up on a period of their history or architecture of one building. I might watch a indie film from a local filmmaker to get a taste of culture before I go, esp in the other language. Immerse myself in the past while enjoying a bit of fiction, will only enhance my trip when I am there. The guidebook stuff? Official plans? At some point that is done. I don't travel with a pack, but often I open up my luggage a good bit early, lay it out on a spare bed or dresser, and throw shit in it randomly in case I think I might want it, like "ohh, might want the baseball hat" or "ohh, don't want to forget the camera/bathing suit" and so I don't stress at remembering to remember later? I throw it in while I am thinking about it rather than a list.

I don't actually pack in advance though. I do that stuff the preflight...making sure my daily routine things are placed in there while I get ready after my shower. That way I surely don't forget something stupid like the antiperspirant or toothbrush

using this thread to ask a quick question relevant to passing of time. I'm going to go on a 7-8 hour road trip alone up California (LA->Chico) and I'm wondering what the best method of doing this is.
Should I be making stops every 2 hours? Should I get an audio book or make a playlist of music?

driving so long alone will be my first time and seems really daunting. I'm nervous of getting half way and realizing how long this drive is taking and getting uncomfortable

It's easy, you'll see by yourself

you'll need just a bit french
