Hiking in Krete. Truly a religious experience. Hiking the highest mountain there was amazing. It's not even that tall but the experience itself was amazing. Sleeping with the window open at night in the summer, hearing the night in Krete countryside is something to behold. I want to move there someday.
Hi /trv/. I have two long lost cousins. I've known them for a year. I'd like to make up for the lost time by going on a big trip with them. My aunt is okay with the idea. They are six and eight years old.What are some good places to go with children? Do I need special documentation to travel internationally?
>>1694506Oh dear God you're crazy. The fact that you want to do something with your cousins is great but their ages and how you don't know each other that well makes international travel a BAD idea. And you probably will need documentation from the parents to take them out of the country.
Honest question, why the fuck is your aunt letting a strange man take her kids traveling? Something's fucked up about this situation. You need to watch this doc and then show it to your retarded aunt.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWY8T3ujxNwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yehHZgLVj_k
Glad our resident Pakistani tourism bro got a job with Forbes
>>1694043i wonder how the ecuador shill feels about this
>>1694043Forbes tweets look like that!?!?Congrats on the new gig paki tourism bro. You’re one of my favorite posters.
((()))
>>1694126Someone has to be the trailblazer
>>1694117>Pakistan is pretty safe for the most part.No it isn't, I honestly don't get why people say this. It's a true shithole and if you go there solo as a female you're absolutely retarded.
>best 2 cities in France (besides paris) and 1 city in Switzerland to visit over the course of 10-12 days. This will be my last trip with my wife for a while as we are planning on having a kid soon so that will impede travel for a few years, we have been to Europe many times however, never France or Switzerland (and very little in Germany). While neither of us really care for Paris, we both agree that you pretty much need to spend at least 1 day there to see the major sights, since we are flying into Paris this wont be a big deal.My wife and I generally like old towns, not much for partying or anything. So far I am thinking >Paris>Srasbourg>Berne>LyonAs the cities to visit, however none of this is set in stone, where would /trv/ suggest visiting in these two places?
Forgot to mention my goal of this trip is to transition fully into a female (was born into a mans body). Which French city has the best doctor for SRS? Thanks in advanced.
This is the time for people to go to the AVMS wafflefes jubilee for everyone!
OP here, I forgot the mention this festival is also sponsored by the TLGB community, which I am a proud member of, not sure if that matters, but it does to me. The waffles are specifically made with HIV+ cooks to break the stereotype that people with HIV are TLGB.
Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread>also known as /sqt/ (Stupid Questions Thread)For any and all of your one-off questions that pertain to travel.If your question is specific to a popular destination (eg. Thailand, Japan, Germany, Italy, etc.), consider asking it in a relevant thread/general, if such a thread is currently active. And even then, do whatever you want, I'm not your mom.If your question is administrative in nature (eg. visas, passports, customs/immigration, airport/airline policies, etc.), be as specific as possible. Such information may include, but is not limited to your nationality, where you're going, any layover points, etc. These details do get missed quite often, and they sometimes can make a difference.Previous thread: >>1671777New/Experimental Pastebin with extra basic travel information: https://pastebin.com/Bn0ZtP6D>All information in this thread is presented "as is" without warranty of any kind.

With a bit of luck I'll spend next semester in Akita, Japan as an exchange student. Anyone been around the area? What do people do for fun there?
>>1690706Yup, it was him. Thanks a shit ton man.
>>1680770Do any of you guys ever cover your tattoos when at the beach? If so, how?I really enjoy laying in the sun but I don't want my tattoos to look retarded blue (I only have one full sleeve on one arm)
>Amsterdam Pythonbrug Going to visit, where are some points of interest nearby? Where are my fellow engineers who can tell me where some other great feats are?
>Got a week off work. Next work day is Nov. 1st.I'm from Norway, the Oslo area.I really wanna do something with my week off, so I figured a drive down in Europe would be fun.Is south France or northern Italy nice at this time of year?Is it even a good idea to drive there from Norway?Will I have enough time to enjoy some nice weather?
So what is life actually like in southern europe in the current economic situation?
Poverty. Unemployment for people under 35 is like 50%. Most educated people have left for Northern Europe. Most women have already left so the population is heavily skewed towards men causing a shortage of women and heavy competition.Lots of depression due to these factors
>>1694346makes more room for big black cockThank EU!
>>1694342Depression, malaise, entire cities where there are no more people in their 30s and the collective desire of a nuclear orbital strike on Germany.
>>1694546>the collective desire of a nuclear orbital strike on Germany.why? isn't germany the one propping them up?
>>1694548Give someone long-term charity and they will quickly go from seeing you as a saint to seeing you as a stingy oppressor.
They've been exposed by this YouTube channel. Wtf I hate Harald and Bald now...https://youtu.be/9-ueHJXZn68
>>1694472He went to Bolivia to check it out, nothing more. It's a travel channel, not a Soviet Channel. I'm glad he went to Bolivia, it only confirms that I will never step foot in that country ever.
>>1694490No I realize that but just all the murderous threats and cartels buzzing around on motorbikes are making this weird to me>>1694504Yeah I can get down with this take though, at least he is doing it and good for him for not changing his attitude from Bolivia or Ukraine he's a Real G I'll give him that
>>1694490Oh and I am actually pretty new yeah, I have been binging his stuff and had no idea he existed until like last Sunday and just got through all of his Eastern Europe content and saw some of his Indian/Burma stuff so far
>>1694505those dudes weren't cartel, they were local farmers. also those bikes weren't that expensive.the "threats" are just to keep outsiders away. the villagers just wanna be left alone. residual leftover feelings from spanish conquest of the indigenous population.
>>1691718>>1691709>>1691696Typical American cunt who is a solid 5/10 but thinks she's a 10/10. FFS I'm so glad I never had the pleasure of dating a fat whale from the US.
I'm going to Taipei next month for 4 days. I've never been to Taiwan (or China) before, and have no agenda other than to eat food and wonder around.What places should I go and especially what foods should I eat? What area makes the most sense to stay in?
>>1692066Correction: it's actually on the 35th floor of the Taipei 101. That sounds even more underwhelming.
>>1691674I managed to get a woman to get a guy to drive me through the mountains on the east coast. She basically went through all her contacts until she found someone willing to do it.This occured with almost no common language whatsoever. Speaking the language is overrated imo
Anyone else find Taiwanese expat youtubers fucking insufferable? What the fuck is the absolute garbage?https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCorBWy2Imz8wZTl9cERkpqw/videos
>>1691951I never book anything before I land and Taiwan is the only p;laced where it screwed me over. If you're planning on taking any of the small railway routes around the country, or want a good guesthouse in some of the bigger national parks I'd recommend having a rough itinerary at least.
Should I go to Taiwan or eastern China? I like trains and food. I don't care about girls.>>1655170Saturn cube
What's your favorite travel gear?
Serious traveler hereI honestly don't carry much specialized gear because over-packing will kill you slowly. Some things after 5 years I still swear by areA. hiking packs that you can remove the waist strap ofB. odor absorbing laundry bagsC. needle and threadD. power bank (so you worry less about having your phone stolen), and on this note buying cloudspace for your traveling photos E. good socks, almost impossible to get after leaving the developed worldF. the clique cash safety bag. not to say you should wear it 24/7 but there are times you will be glad to have one as an option.bullshit gift-ware tier gadgets:microfiber towels, if you stay in hotels you usually get a real one, then never dry fast enough and can be replaced by....a t-shirt. yes that's right, your cotton t-shirt is also compact, lightweight and fast drying!Comment too long.

What state has the hottest women to fuck for the least amount of effort?Coming from California to Pennsylvania, it was like a walk in the park there. Lots of women without the bitchy attitudes spread their legs for me, got my notch count waaaay up. They were all feminist enough to be strapped with BC pills and IUDs galore. Made me quite happy. Ive been curious of plowing through some southern women but I heard they don't really do birth control like coastal feminists do.

how cheap are flights where you live? this is my favourite thing about living in manchester. these are all costs including return. map google flights
I live an hour and a half from DTW and four hours from ORD. It's pretty easy to find fares to Latin America for anywhere between $175 and $350, round-trip. Flights inside the United States are usually reasonably priced; I flew from DTW to Boston, one way, for $30 last summer.
>>1691318only thing i dont like about manchester airport is 90% of the flights are budget airlines so you have to add 50 to any ticket price for luggage
>>1691318I live in London and flights to Europe are cheap as shit. I see multiple £10-30 ones. But I always check in a suitcase because I can't be fucked to pull out everything from my carry on through security. I always laugh when I see some american claiming they found a bargain for $400.
no luggage either
>>1692272>I always laugh when I see some american claiming they found a bargain for $400.to be fair we have to pay a fuck ton of tax on long haul fares though
Planning to live homeless for a few months and hike + hitchhike accross the US. See all the places I want to see while living a poor camping lifestyle. Never done anything like this before, any suggestions from real /trv/lers?Planning on eating mostly dehydrated and easyfix stuff. Bringing a sleeping mat so I can set up anywhere. Gonna pick up some rain gear to be safe, although I'll have my phone so I'll know about weather in advance. Am I missing anything?
>>1694211Where are you planning on sleeping in these towns?
>>1694221I can sleep pretty much anywhere. Behind fucking gas stations maybe idk?I'll figure it out. Ideally I'd never be in one place long enough for it to matter.
>>1694052Do you subscribe to the gas grass or ass philosophy
>>1694223Jesus dude you really have no idea what you're getting yourself into
>>1694223oh god
Is kiwi that bad ? Ive read lots of nightmareis reviews but all of them are at least 1 year old. Have you ever booked with kiwi?
>>1691307>Kiwi is good for finding tickets and then you should go to the websites of the individual carriers and book through them instead.This
I use 'em to search, then I buy from the airline direct. I only used them once flying to NZ, or Brisbane, I forget which. NZ, it was yeah. I don't know why I reserved through them but it was just one flight, and it worked out well enough. Most of the time I just use them to sound out a potential flight path
their app got pulled from google play for a reason
>>1691116Stop using these websites. Find tickets via google flights and book through the airlines.
I have used Kiwi several times without issue, they were shitty flights but I got what I paid for.There have been issues with impossible self-transfers and poor /no customer service, but I haven't heard anyone being fucked up who didn't contribute to it in some way.pro tip; nobody online will tell you how they contributed to the fuck up.>>1691403actually booking directly is often more expensive.many booking sites get "last minute" tickets from airlines which the airline doesn't think it can sell, or buys them second-hand from an agent in the same position.airlines don't want to de-value the tickets they sell on their main site, and would rather provide discounts through third parties (who don't advertise to everyone)check a skyscanner flight against the airlines flight and you will see for yourself
