Welcome!/trv/ is a slow board, you don't need to bump more than once a day -- it's OK if your thread is not on the front page, we look several pages deep here. You can do that. too, looking for threads on your topic.Questions are welcomed, as are threads sharing experiences or generally discussing travel. For very general questions, you can get answers faster at other sites. Google is your friend. Start there, then come back here for specific questions. Some good links for basic info, and a few Pet Peeves of the board, are included within this thread.

>>1908925I was in Beijing for 2 weeks. Good food and street culture, people are friendly but as a foreigner they will stare at you, mostly because many Chinese themselves are tourists in big cities visiting from farmland, I got a bad virus from food but hey thats a risk you take since they have different health concerns..
>>1911607please stop wasting oxygen
>>1911483>Social credit system is not a real thing by any measurable standardIt's pretty real if you have a high profile that isn't approved by the establishment.Xu Xiaodong had his life destroyed for exposing fake tai-chi masters and stuff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6-Oj56YgzU>>1911612>as a foreigner they will stare at youThis is true but who the fuck cares.
>>1911694and now those same bullshit martial arts are getting a crack down
>>1911696Really?Can you give me some examples?
What are your experiences with Sub-Saharan Africa? I've been thinking about traveling there sometime. I read about some countries and it looks like for example Botswana is fairly safe and has a beautiful national park. Also South Africa looks interesting, but I heard crime is pretty high there.
>>1909861Africa operates fundamentally different to the Northerm Hemisphere. Getting work done is never the priority. There is no sense of bureaucracy. Good relationships and good rapor with people are necessary to get anything done. Favours are done for favours, not because some guideline says something should be done.
>>1908899Probably botswana
>>1908659niggers
I've heard good things about Kenya. Nice nature, sorta safe, not expensive, some cultural sightseeings as well, solid whoremonging opportunities. Did some anon itt visited? How it was?
>>1909086To be asking these questions means you probably aren’t ready to travel there. Do some research first and come back with more nuanced questions, these are too broad.
I'm interested in visiting France, particularly the Hôtel des Invalides and Notre-Dame de Paris. But I'm concerned by what I've heard in recent years about migrants intimidating tourists. I've heard it's common for migrant men to force, say, necklaces into the hands of foreign visitors before surrounding them and demanding money, calling anyone who refuses to pay a 'racist'. I'm also concerned about the hightened terror threat. Although I appreciate that I'm unlikely to be blown up or otherwise harmed, I find the very sight of antiterrorism barriers, and of heavily armed policemen, extremely distressing. (It's been years since I've visited London for that very reason.)How worried should I really be about any of this? Have I been misled, or is France really as bad as it sounds?
>>1911630He relaxed.
>>1911343You can take the monkey out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the monkey. Niggers will nigger. Around blacks never relaxe. Simple as.
>>1910931you have problems with poor people running scams in every major city.Toughen up. it's not a big deal.
>>1911595Cope. Fat autistic virgin leftist
>>1911550This is fucking stupid....I don’t think you understand how or why terror works or why it’s so effective. Childish article.
I found out I'll be traveling you India for work to train new call centers and set them up for the next three years. Best places to travel in India? Best food from which region? Where can I find the hottest food? Anything else underrated or unknown about India? √Thanks in advanced for doing the needful
Is Nagaland worth a visit?
>>1910614>>1910627There are whores in every country, it that's your thing just head to Paharganj and you'll find many massage parlours with beautiful ladies, they're gold diggers tho and know how to annoy you out of your money, if you don't care that much about quality just walk to GB Road and you'll find all kinds of cheap whores, sex slaves from Afghanistan and trannies.Also, do not think that because India is a poor country with a shitload of miserable people that it means they do not understand money or luxuries, I'd say that the middle class in India is probably better off than most here in the West, most of the houses I visited were spacious and confortable, don't forget shit is way cheaper over there and that kids aren't really expected to leave their parent's homes. >>1910673 is correct, it's a long game, I never really dated in India, but when I met a prospective match her grandma was the one to invite me for a small gathering, I still talk to her family to this day, lovely people but not exactly hook up friendly, I plan to meet them again when I'm back in India.
>>1910850this
>>1911077>you don't care that much about quality just walk to GB Road and you'll find all kinds of cheap whores, sex slaves from Afghanistan and trannies.DO NOT GO HERE AT NIGHTIt’s not Bangkok
>>1910673How does one locate QT educated middle-class Indian dames? Also, is there any guarantee that they'll stay conventionally attractive as they get older?
>>1911232You could get the stick out of your ass and respect the local traditions.
>>1911232I'm a christian arab. Nobody gives a fuck
tinder scene?
What kind of prices can we expect to pay in Saudi Arabia next year?
>>1911232Except for the occasional Episcopalian hunts, the ME is perfectly safe
Tell me some travel cringekino stories, I need to feel better about myself
>>1911367>amerigolems can't even ride manual motorcycleswtf
>>1908859Thais are a bit autistic like that. They can be very mean-spirited to each other, which is why western-educated Thais dream of escaping the country.
>>1911628Yeah, that was stupid, but in my drunk tourista mind, I thought he would share some stories about how life is in Rome as a drug dealer, like when you smalltalk with normies asking what they are doing for a living. I only realized after his reaction that this is a undercover cop-tier question to ask.It's one of the only travel cringekino stories I have to tell, but now it reminds me of the time when I was chitchatting with a couple of girls in Utrecht while waiting for a bus to Germany.I told them at some point I have been a bit too close with a passenger girl in the previous bus I took to come to the Netherlands, and that when she left to go back to her weird Dutch brutalist surburb, she didn't seem too happy that I pressed my butt a bit against hers at some point of night.One of the two girls thought I was an absolute creep, the other was surprisingly humoring me in good jest, considering she was a vegan punk feminist type of girl living in Berlin.During the night trip, she made a funny grimace at me when border guards stopped the bus to make sure no one was smuggling weed, I shrugged back at her, she laughed. She was a cool girl.I'm not autistic all the time, but sometimes I can't help it.
>>1911367>never ever ride a manual motorcycle without good training and mastery of the clutch and gearsOn busy, public roads, yeah. I've since learned to ride properly, with very little "training" except just riding around on private roads.>Next time stick to the autoscootersWind your neck in, cunt. I bet I ride better than you do now.
>>1911681Sorry i was stern in my post. Your just lucky you didn't get fucked up.
Is being a digital nomad viable long term or a scam?
>>1910757>Most important skills to learn is showmanship first and foremostTerrible advice
>>1911334It worked for me. Obviously I'm good at what I do from a technical standpoint, but those hard skills are more and more in ready supply by people willing to work for less. What separates people in a corporate environment and determines who gets promoted isn't merit, its merit + "leadership". Leadership is really just a euphemism for "how well do you fit the mould of cultural ideas about business professionals". Unironically, labour anthropologists like David Graeber helped me to better conceptualize how to get ahead than any business book. You need to be extremely good at what you do to get ahead, but if ability is not matched with political and cultural accumen you wont get promoted past a certain point.
>>1910879Probably not unless you have personal clients coming to you, Data laws regarding credit, personal info, etc are sometimes limited to a specific country. No clue where you are but when I fly through China and some spots, can't have my work laptop on me. Luckily with a chromebook I can power wash it, use in guest mode, and roll; then dial into my AWS machine for any work needed.You're basically going to need to ask or start your own business.>>1911334>>1911501Doesn't work for everyone but actions speak a million words. I started out taking some non paid internship at my community college fixing desktops, then I basically used that exp to work my way up via the social network. Now I dick around in the world doing fuck all. Sometimes it takes going through some shit to get to the end goal you want, it's one reason people give up on this life style early on because generally to get it/do it, it's going to be a little shitty at first.
>>1911501Pro-tip for everyone in this thread. > You need to be extremely good at what you do to get ahead, but if ability is not matched with political and cultural accumen you wont get promoted past a certain point.Get a certificate/experience in "Diversity and Inclusion". It's taking over corporate land. Even contract positions through Upwork benefit from having "training".
>>1907157>The "4 hours workweek" was ten years ago, newfag.You mean a century ago they already thought we could achieve it. We are cucked beyond belief.
A picture taken from my country. How do i get out of this shithole? Currently don't have a passport.[Lots of good info last time, running it again.]
>>1907913Yes there is too many people that don't seem to care.
>>1907642That's ancient history then.
>>1905591Get a passport, good luck moving anywhere that isnt Latin America if you dont have any money or strong family ties. Moving to europe is stupidly difficult even illegally, Canada is okay but you shouldnt want to live in Canada unless its Quebec, and in asia you’ll sound like a retard 24/7 and will never fit in. Move to a different state and good luck
>>1905591>Currently don't have a passport.Thread's over, NEXT.
>>1910555Not difficult. Next steps after that?
At what point did you finally stop subjecting yourself to lackluster hostels and opt for better lodging?
>>1911624I used to hate Americans before I met them.After meeting them (and this was in Japan) I was surprised how pleasant most Americans were, and I thought it'd be awful because it was Japan after all.What you said is true about Euros. They're fucking repulsive, walk around naked, leave their personal belongings in public places, think they're "enlightened" and often start retarded political talk for no good reason.If there's one thing I learned indeed is don't judge a book by its cover. As a South American I'd have expected most Euros to be on the less annoying side, but it turned out I was really prejudiced against Ameriburgers. You guys are alright, Euros are entitled brats.
>>1911610I've stayed in one of those thousand a night suites (hotel moved me there from a normal room, couldn't tell you why) and while it was very nice at the end of the day it was just a place I slept for a few hours.
>>1911610Is the quality so poor my attitude has been tilted to the point I can no longer enjoy socializing/experiencing the area?What is the price relative to the surrounding accommodations?What is the goal of staying in this hostel in the first place?
>>1911663I don't do SEA but,>What is the goal of staying in this hostel in the first place?For me saving money, being downtown near public transportation, being able to socialize with people, and have a few pointers about the local scene>What is the price relative to the surrounding accommodations?up to you, most hotels are around 50 or so a night hostels ~12-15>Is the quality so poor my attitude has been tilted to the point I can no longer enjoy socializing/experiencing the area?dunno where you booked
>>1911610Hostels are the way to go 100%. Parties every night, socializing 24/7, cute chicks, losers who buy drinks for you just to hang out. OP, It's the best way to travel.
Is this the best place on earth to have a self reliant farm on the coast? I want to raise emus and surf.
no water there m8, enjoy burning in a wildfire. Surfing's shite on that coast too. Taz is the way to go for what you want.
>>1911552>I want to raise emustraitorous cunt
>>1911552East coast is the go, but it'll be very expensive. Tassie as the other person suggest might be better and more affordable
>>1911552Visited Lorne this year, had some friends work on farms there as well. 10/10 for farm work.
When THE FUCK is Japan opening for tourism from the US? It's been a fucking year, covid is still fake and gay and only kills people over the age of 115 years old with 9 comorbidities.My ONE joy in life is my yearly trip to Japan. That's it, nothing else.
>>1911144Go back to facebook
>>1910998>masks are uselesst. American
>>1910913>Australia/NZ handle it>Total restrictions on travel and lockdownTHis is not handling it wellA caloric restriction would save more than lockdowns but to tell the truth to the boomers is too heavy to bear for the govs
>>1910759lol you must be so ugly irl
>>1910913>how did 2 of the most sparsely populated countries in the world managed to stave off a disease spread by close contact?
How nice is it there for 10K or less?>inb4 black people
>>1908394I've spent a lot of time in the Caribbean. I wouldn't live there because if the shit hits the fan, the locals go after whitey. There are stories never told of white folk living there who were ordered out of their homes by the black gentlemen militia after hurricanes. If the US enters a depression and tourism dries up for a number of years, expect cannibalism. Nice region to visit, though.
>>1911065Sounds like absolute sensationalism
>>1909547based
>>1909547was just talking to a friend about how 4chan used to be far left 6-7+ years ago. good old days
>>1911065what caribbean country are you referring to?t.Caribbean anon
>Liverpool>it isn't just a city full of pools with livers in them
>>1911325>went here>there were only three marks
a thread died for this
>>1911325>Krakow. isn't just a city of cows filled with crack balloons.
>>1911325Dumb frogposter.
Continuing from last thread >>1893342Give us the pros and cons of your city, rate it out of 10
>>1911263How does the bbq in KC compare to other bbq styles in the south? And what are the top spots for bbq there?
>>1911520I saw a pretty big pro-Bolsonaro crowd at a rally at Copacabana when I was there last October. Not too many SJWs around. There were a shitload of people mad about Lula though
>>1911642doesn't mean anything.Brazil is a weird mix of extremism. Lots of evangelicals, lots of SJWS.Awkward place.
>>1911650I'm just gonna come live in Rio now. I can just build my own place out in the favelas, right?
>>1909026>looking at only normie major label garbageOkay faggot.
