>>2651183No but I have a big penis
>>2651116How does that help if you are seated next to one?

Is this a safe country to travel to? How are tourists treated by the American people? What states do you recommend avoiding if any?
>>2639273>>2644034NYC is the safest large city on the continent, having a lower homicide rate compared to half the rural states in the country, despite the constantly-growing black population. Most people who spent their life in a city have never had a gun pulled on themEven the cities you listed have crime rates that vary heavily by neighborhood. It sounds like you haven't been to any
>>2644238It's as safe as any Euro city, Manhattan and times square are pretty much a theme park for tourists at this pointhttps://nyc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=8153f961507040de8dbf9a53145f18c490% of my time in NYC has been in midtown and I've never seen any crime
>>2641765to be fair most of those doomsaying posts are written by dudes that have never left their tri-county area
>>2651090Sure there are rural farm towns without a single crotch-grabbing pavement ape. However, most population centers are overrun with shiftless, gum sucking rape-apes on the prowl for victims to rob and violate
>>2651199I don't really care how you feel about black people, but for the love of Jesus, please stop being so bitchmade. It's for your own sake.
Anyone ever been to Similan islands? Thinking of flying to Phuket for a weekend and going there, but not sure about the crowds and how long it might take. Water looks amazing though.
>>2651178>doxxing myselfSurely you can have this conversation without doxxing yourself, but oh well I guess.
>>2651171the topic was 'cunny'faggots don't count as cunny, they count as 'bussy', you need to get your terminology right, retard the fact is that there is no surface level cunny trade for farang anymore due to NGO and do-gooder meddlingout in the province thais still whore their kids to other thais, but its mostly a thai thing, when they turn 18 or 'old enough to pass as 18', they get an ID and get sent somewhere else to whore I've spoken to enough soi 6 prostitutes to understand the system by now, and have no reason to doubt themmany started at 13 or 14, and never saw farang cock until they got to bangkok or pattaya there is also cunny in bangkok, but for thais only of course, richfags have teen pussy on tap and nobody dares question it, I know this because I've known girls who worked that trade when they were teenagers, again, no farang involved (but some chinese)so basically its not that there is no cunny, its that farang are too normie or too stupid for thai cunny industry, and so they are excluded due to risk factorI did see some suspiciously young (as in maybe 16/17) year old plying the trade in pattaya, but it seemed more like for spending money than as any organized thing. They said they lived in chon buri and smoked a lot of weed and vape and came down to get some cash for more smokes on the weekend. Weren't willing to cough up ID cards so I didn't take them. gogo's occasionally get in shit for having a 17 year old working. That's about as deep as it goes around there.
>>2651191I’m sorry you stuggle with reading comprehension and context, retard. Ladyboys were merely a prominent example of the prevalence. But hey, keep trying to be the boring know it all. Maybe one day people will invite you to their parties.
>>2651194I accept your concession, faggot.
>>2646848I look like that and say that.
Do you let others or things annoy you when travelling?Or do you just ignore it.If not, post examples1. Americans asking questions in a museum (it will be a moronically stupid child level question of ignorance).2. French/Dutch accent is heard nearby3. Queue skipping
>>2650895It has always been an American remote worker who says that. Every single time it's some remote tech fag or crypto queer
>>2650896Yeah this. WTF are white women doing walking around Soi 6 at 1am? Go away, I’m trying to coom in peace.
>>2644997>People who treat meme rules like "middle seat gets 2 armrests as gospel and kick off about it>People who complain about tipping. Pay your way in the world ffs.>Passive aggressive folk who tut or complain when I have to get up early in a hostel.

>>2648377Actually there are 350 million Americans and fewer than 100 million have a passport
I Live in Morocco and i'm planing to go travel to a city but i don't wanna stay at an hotel, I kind of want to just stay outdoors and sleep somewhere where people will not notice me or even thugs too. I kind of want to experience something new, Like just be away from my city, I cannot afford a cheap hotel but i can travel.My Country is known for having thugs, criminals and robbers at night, But still I kind of want a good advice from someone who had done that or even someone from my country
>>2650656I don't have money to sleep in some hotel, I wanna try sleeping at night somewhere that's gonna be adventurous, I mean i'll try a bridge or some forest
>>2650663Thanks bro, If i ever did that i'll try to head into a little forest or a place in the city that seems to be dark.>>2650788I don't have money, 10 is too expensive lmaoo>>2650793Yeah i agree but it's pretty much infested with homeless people and thug fags
What city are you from? Just curious.If you do sleep somewhere interesting, please take photos and share them with us
>>2651028>Thanks bro, If i ever did that i'll try to head into a little forest or a place in the city that seems to be darkno problem, I don't know if they have parks there or not, but yeah, nature is your friend, seems safer and more clean than sleeping on concrete somewhereif it takes you a little while to get to your camp spot that's better
>>2650581Just drive out to the desert and pitch a tent.

Continued from >>>2640924I am a US Citizen, got a tourist visa, and visited St. Petersburg for three weeks. Here are my pro tips:Visa:>DO go through a visa agency because they will make sure you fill out the visa application properly (if you want to know the name of the agency I used, you can ask) but apply far in advance to avoid massive costs for expediting.>DO apply for the three year multiple entry tourist visa. It is the most generous tourist visa that Russia offers and it is ONLY available to US Citizens. It allows you to stay in Russia for up 364 days per year and up to 182 days at a time without needing to do a visa run.Travel:>The only airline that you can get from the USA to Russia is Turkish airlines but be prepared to pay through the nose. The cheaper option, which is slightly more adventurous, is to fly from the USA to Tallinn, Estonia (first cheap) and then take a bus to the Russian border, cross the border, and then take a train to SPb. This will take you another day of traveling but it will save you about $2K round trip. AMA
>>2650382You need Western-based source of income because wagies in Russia, especially outside of the big cities, are in the gutter. You can probably buy a farm with your $60K but you need more to get it started, build savings, etc. Try to get on SSDI. You can live in Russia and SSA will deposit your neetbux into a Russian bank account. Something else you should aspire to do before going to Russia is buying a house in the USA, not only because it will be another source of Western income for you but because you need a Plan B in case you must return from Russia. If you spend 30 years out there and lose your farm, then you're fucked. Always have the option of moving back to the USA without needing to live in a homeless shelter.Consider getting an English teacher certification. From what I've hear you can make $1K per month in Russia.>I've heard they have a worse divorce rate True. Be super cautious marrying, especially a Russian woman. They are notorious gold diggers.>and wages but that why Im thinking to start a small businessWhat makes you think a small business will be better? If wages are very low, then aggregate demand is likewise also very low. This means less revenue for your business.Listen, you are engaging in some fantasies. Having no agricultural experience and starting a farm is very, very hard. And to try to do it without agricultural subsidies/loans is probably impossible.If you haven't visited Russia yet, then stop your daydreaming. Go visit, especially the farming areas, and see if that's how you want to live. No about of YouTube videos will replace seeing it yourself. Be sure to meet farmers and ask them relevant questions.
>>2650077I didn't know that. Can it automatically be reloaded every month so you don't have to stand in the line?>>2650084I don't think that matters. It might help you socialize when people try to talk to you in Russian, you say that you only speak English, and that might be a connection that leads you to friendship or love.>>2650177If you honestly think that Putin or the Russian government pays people to talk about Russia on >>>/trv/ then you' might actually have paranoid schizophrenia.>>2650178You're welcome.>>2650382Have you been to Russia before?>>2650388If I couldn't stand the "heat" and the """redpills""" from the last thread then why would I link to it in my OP?Also, the reason why I abandoned the last thread is that I got busy at work.
>no picturesShill thread.
>>2651104you just buy "podoroznhik" card at any subway station ticket counter, pay for the card, and then deposit as much money as you want to the card itselflater you can top up the card using machines at the subway stationsthe value will stay there for a couple of years, the discount you get is something 20-30% compared to using bank card

Hello, I am from Maryland and I want to drive to the Grand Canyon. Maybe see the hover dam along the way.I got:10 days offa decent budgeta good cara tent (might be sleeping in my car)and I'm going alone.Yes I'm a massive neet. I've gone out and traveled before but mainly for work or within the tri state area, never across time zones. What's the best route to take? Anything else to see along the way? What should I be wary of traveling for so long alone?I like cozy cultures, not a big fan of population. I will go out of my way for local museums. if you know any model railway places I'd be down.I'll be leaving mid May
>>265113136 hour drive from Maryland. Let’s say you drive 12 hours a day you’ll be there in 3 days, and it’s 72 hours roundtrip so 6 days of traveling out of 10. That gives you 4 days to see the Grand Canyon and whatever else you want to see on the trip. The drive is scenic no matter which route you take and that’s worth it by itself to see each biome shift into each other. You won’t have much opportunity to drive off of the main highway artery cities if you want to make it back on time, so incorporate your tourism with your travel by splitting the drive into sections and stopping somewhere for 30 mins to an hour before driving again. Chart out each day of driving and have a plan ahead of time for where you’re going to sleep. If you deviate, you will not make it to the canyon and back, and all will be lost.
>>2651139>If you deviate, you will not make it to the canyon and back, and all will be lost.I guess with time being a factor, I can extend my vacation period to two weeks. I kinda have the heart to wonder around. it will feel fruitless to just see without experiencing. Thanks for the bit of math.

Planning on trying to visit Egypt in late May to early June. I know I need a visa and my passport is up to date, but is there anything else I should be aware of or reserve before going? Or is the situation in the bordering countries too intense? No itinerary yet either. I appreciate any help.
>>2651025I'm the same anon from (>>2651023) and would largely agree with (>>2651029). If you're only going for a two or three weeks, there's not much sense pouring tons of energy into trying to attain anything resembling conversational proficiency (unless, of course, you're very eager to interact with ordinary Egyptians--in which case I'd encourage you to explore more options, as learning "the local language" lets you engage with elements of culture and socialization you'd otherwise never understand or appreciate). However, most people don't have the need to do any of that. In most cases, you'd be find memorizing a handful of phrases in different tenses. The bare minimum for me is typically:>greetings >personal information (my name is, I'm from [x], etc) >small talk (how are you, I'm good, etc) >basic requests and commands (please give me [x], turn left, turn right, etc) >basic help questions (how can I get to [x], where is [y], can you help me with [z]) >numbers from 1-100, or whatever works best with the local currency denominations
>>2651031>>2651029Oh, and that anon pointed out something I'd intended to mention: many of the Arabic lessons you'll find online center on Modern Standard Arabic (termed "fus'ha" by Arabic speakers). Most Arabic speakers will be able to understand fus'ha, but you might not be able to understand much of what they say in response. Again, I can't remember very much about Arabic. But I do remember that the differences between fus'ha and Arabic-language dialects can be immense. In fact, some Arabic speakers struggle to understand other Arabic speakers from more distant countries. One of my close friends, for instance, is from Iraq--he can very easily understand people from the Gulf, Levant, and Egypt, but says that Moroccan and Tunisian Arabic is often borderline unintelligible. (ofc, if two people from two very different regions meet, they can most probably adjust their speech--my friend was probably talking about listening to music or watching the news and football commentary, as it's standard practice in the Maghreb to mix in lots and lots of French) However, to the best of my recollection, Egyptian Arabic is the most widely-taught Arabic dialect--there should be plenty of resources, as well as easily-accessible media that you can engage with.

>>2650897I have lived in the US my whole life, there is no way you will be able to cram all that in 3 weeks, I would just pick New York, DC & Boston, stay on the east coast and take the train between them or drive, you will get plenty of culture, museums, food and anything else. Crisscrossing the whole US in 3 weeks would be a nightmare and also not really worth it.
im planning to visit russiamy problem is where can i stay in russia for cheap?my budget is 1000 euro for 1 month including food and train tickets
Can Americans even safely visit Russia?

>>2639495another 61 billion for Ukraine just passed. a lot more russians are going to be looking like this faggot. such a shame. they could have just stayed in their country and avoided this disaster...
>my budget is 1000 euro for 1 month including food and train ticketsit can be hard in moscow, in other city (even saint petersburg) it's ok>>2647658of course, even ukrainian, just don't insult putin
>>2639065Considering there is no actual fighting anywhere you're likely to go this is probably a great time to visit as you'll get amazing value for your money.

>>2648326Because he's doing something you find interesting while also not trying to hard to present it like it's some tv show. It's the same reason I like watching tdubskid and not overlanding ffaggots. The former uses a shitty motorcycle to go camping in different places while filming on a go pro. The latter Uses $80k of equipment to basically do the same thing and films it with $4k cameras and drones. Something about all the production kinda takes the adventure out of it. It's less relatable
