Have you ever experienced racism while travelling? If so what happened?
>>2632325All turd worlders have treated me as a superior, appropriate as I am a White American man.
My love for Austria is stronger than your hatred for my country of origin. Still, where should I go to dodge the biggest kraut haters? Apparently south of Vienna and pretty much all of Tyrol is a big no. Anywhere else?
you're basically the same country, what's the problem?do yuros really??
>>2631442that’s how you get shot in Austria. don’t ever tell an Austrian they’re the same as krautland
>>2631140Few people actually hate Germans, but the slight dislike that may be more common is spread pretty evenly. Look, we even have streets named after Bismarck in some towns.
>>2631442Yeah, no shit. Even krauts hate krauts.
>>2631558Germany is my least favorite country in Western Europe. It really sucks. I'd unironically rather stay in Belgium.
If i wanna travel to Usa & dont wanna go to the basic New york, Miami or LA what city you would recommend?City needs to have both NFL and NBA teams.
>>2631842DC is a pretty cool city to visit. >Good food scene>Decent nightlife if you're into that >Lots of neat museums that are (mostly) free. Smithsonian museums are all free and you can easily eat up a couple days on just those. Spy Museum costs money but still worth a visit. Just avoid the green line on the metro (subway) at night and you'll be fine.
>>2631979>>2632006>>2632193I also considired New Orleans or DC. are they as dangerous as other anons or media say? I dont mind niggas cause im tryna get some black queen pussy while im there
>>2632305It's not 1989. DC is pretty safe.
>>2631842What is this meme even about?
>>2631858Houston and dallas are both incredibly boring cities with terrible public transport
Best or worst conversation starter?I always say the last place I came from. I am not my country.But I do ask it to find out if I have a suspicion they are from 'that' country.
one time someone asked me to guess where they're from as a starter and wouldn't tell me until i got it right. took like 30 tries . cant tell if it was a power move or autism
What the fuck difference does it make where Im from meng?
>>2632220that's cringe as fuck>>2631817>>2631818kek
A lot if you stay-at-home larpers don't understand this thread.If you go to a new country you are a new person. You are in the presense. If someone asks you about youre history or your country politics. They are living in the past.Gently advise them to ask another question
>>2631809It's a good conversation starterIt works well as an exchange of understanding between respective cultures. If it is a country I know well and love I get to display my affection for it and if they are a chick and talk about bow much they love my country I know I'm gonna have sex.Also it can be a gateway to talking about country related topics for example: Often when I have met Dutch people in the past I have had funny conversations talking about how much Belgium sucks which is great.
How the hell are they still in business? Has anyone ever had a positive experience with Greyhound within the last 20 years?
>>2631191>just autistic and unwilling to compromise?No, I am principled. There isn't a single god damned reason to require an ID to ride a fucking bus in my own country. I never needed one before, so why now? What possible reason? Terrorism? It's all fake and gay bullshit, made up by intel agencies and the media to justify draining the tax payers. TSA is security theater, everyone knows it. 911 was perpetrated by the US government. But people take it up the ass anyway for the luxury of being crammed into a tin can in the sky like sardines. My grandpa was put on the no-fly list for simply yelling at a postal worker who damaged his packages. An 80-year old veteran banned from flying for daring to raise his voice! No threats were made or he'd have gone to jail obviously. And I'm on the list too, just being related to him. So what is left except Amtrak and Greyhound? Fucking nothing. I loved my grandpa but he wasted his life serving this gay fucking country.I just want to visit my aunt and uncle across the country once in my life but looks like I never will now.>flyingIllegal>trainIllegal>busIllegal>walkingIllegal>riding a bikeIllegalComment too long.

>>2631190>>2631200unbelievably based, but it's not illegal to ride a bike cross country (or walk, I assume, I just haven't tried it). you may need to pay for camping or a room if your route has you ending the day without public land nearby, but I don't think lysander there was a big public lands guy anyway. or just be sneaky about it.
>>2631200First off, there is no national no-fly list for anything that isn't specifically terrorism related. Each airline has their own list of people who mouth off at gate employees or similar shit, but it isn't shared among all airlines so just book with a different airline.Beyond that, even if your grandpa WAS banned from airtravel for some reason (yelling at a mail carrier wouldn't count, stop lying), it wouldn't have any impact on YOUR ability to fly in the US.tldr; you're lying about the entire thing, or lying about specifics surrounding why you can't fly. Either way you're lying.
>>2627505>voluntarily taking a greyhound>everAnon, greyhound is for people who were put on the no fly list, and there's a reason they were put on that list. There's almost never a reason to take a greyhound anymore, especially with how cheap flying has become. Shitlines like Spirit and Frontier can fly my ass to vegas and back for $60. Literally cheaper than driving myself there and multiple times faster. Learn to behave in a public setting and maybe the TSA will take you off the no-fly list sometime.
>>2631173>I'm not allowed to flyWhy?
Looking for tips.I'm from Wyoming, US, and I want to go to Russia and see how their things are. I speak English, obviously, and I can speak/read Russian at a childish level.I want to go to Russia and look around. See how they do it. Not planning on moving there, I've saved up enough money to go there and back, but I've never been on a trip like this so I'm looking for advice.Where to? Moscow? St. Petersburg? Somewhere else?I want to spend a few weeks, maybe a few months there. No specific goals. Things are already in motion, it's happening soon.Anything in particular I should know? Never traveled internationally before. Never traveled internationally before. I went to Canada on accident one time, but that's it.
>>2632092>Don't like russia/russians? heh...you must be Polish...russia is in a tie with israel as the most hated country in the world
>>2632206The Onions being emotionally manipulated into hating something (outside the Belt, where it may be more genuine) is a stamp of approval.
>>2632206No one would be bringing up literature from literal who Polish journalists and comparing the Russian economy to the Polish economy except a Pole.Try harder next time Andrzej.
>>2632092Why the fuck are poles so autistic over this country? I never see Russians seethe about Poland. Hell they rarely even bring up the country
>>2632022in my high school I had a student come from Siberia. Hair was blonde, tall and blue eyes. He essentially looked like Hitler's dream Aryan. He told me coming to my school in Canada was a shock to him as his school in Siberia was 100% white. Always struck me as weird as Siberia is technically in Asia.
What is the most desperate thing you've done to save money while traveling?
I had like 3 days to kill and didn't want to pay like 80 bucks for a hostel so I used my greyhound pass to travel from darwin to Alice Springs and back and just "slept" on the bus. I deeply regretted it. Screaming about kids, the bus smoked a massive desert kangaroo and busted the windscreen, it broke down amd needed a new battery as well at one point. I barely slept and the bus driver talked my ear off. Plus there's nothing to see but wasteland desert and unbearable heat. Should have just paid the money.
>>2631484kek I've made that exact mistake several times>surely this place will be alright >all I'm doing is sleeping DX0X
>>2631647was thinking about getting a pass sometime and going from cairns to broome. in general is it good travelling by bus that way or not.
>>2631484ive done this at least a dozen times. literally the definition of insanity
>>2627763I ate exclusively at Wal-Mart when I was travelling in the US. It was alright to be honest, I spent basically nothing on food. Everything is so cheap in the US that you literally cannot go hungry.
Currently in Berlin. Give me your best tips for 3 days
>>2632306Go to get a coffee next to Brandenburg Tor
>>2632313Any good massage parlor here which I can try?
>>2632306shit city
I am coming to Iceland on April.There is a big sightseeing list on internet what I should see and of course I will see some. My question is: what places that are more uknown? Maby some small town or hike route that I should try? Place that isn't that common for tourist.
>>2632255My bedroom.
>>2632255You're a snowflake.Feed me things which no one else knows so I can be cool.The whole island is unexplored by 99% of people. Just pick a spot and go.Otherwise it will be documented for all the other people online and you'll lose your status
Is thailand a good place to move to with 15k in savings? Any accomodation recommendations? I live in hell and must move.
>>2632291Where is USA?
>>2632301>*diarrhea sharts over keyboard*>"PFFFFFFFPFPFPLPFPFFLLPFFFF"wow great argument
>>2632303I guess you also don't care about the planet's health as a whole either.
>>2632309>*PLAP*
>>2632311It's important for you to say it out loud, for your health, that you don't know the first thing about managing systems, regardless if you had all of the facts or not.
>passport bros saturating any decent location>social media basically bringing in hordes of normies and zombies into any tourist location>westernization at rapid pace>overall inflation>brutal competition with concepts like looksmaxxing and geomaxxing going mainstream>foreigner fatigueFuture doesn't look bright bros. What keeps you all motivated to travel?
>>2632282As if that was the only outcome of spending the rest of your life with a woman by your side. It probably is for you though because most likely you're a miserable person who would be difficult to tolerate. You'll even grow tired of yourself at some point.
>>2632283>You'll even grow tired of yourself at some point.Only a woman suffering with their delusional and insane need to "fit in" with every single person on the planet would say something this pathetic. I enjoy my quiet time and I enjoy my own company, and have been this way for years now since the pandemic. I don't need to introduce some overgrown aging child into my life to nag me into going on stupid shopping excursions or bitching about the suburban neighbors driving a nicer car than we do.
>>2632285I'm married and I have none of these problems. I'm chilling in bed with my wife aggressively shitposting while she browses social media. It's great that you've accepted your failure and moved on with your life but that doesn't mean your goofy internet blackpill bullshit is the default for everyone.
>>2632286Tbh anon I think you’re just lucky. Most people don’t find a wife like that. I’ve only attracted bipolar whores my whole life so
>>2632304I had my fair share of shit from my exes but later on in life I learned the answer to a question I had as a kid. Why have my grandparents been happy for decades but my parents couldn't even make things last for one? I had to find someone who was compatible, wasn't going to be giving me shit all the time, had realistic expectations of me and most importantly I had to have realistic expectations of her. As a man you can't expect women to be perfect especially emotionally. They are different from men and you can't always understand their thought process. But like my grandfather would do I can just accept it for what it is and try to move on from the bad times.
going to cusco soon for 5 days. can any anons tell me about their trip there? anything i should keep in mind? also, how should i travel around without one of those travel packages?
>>2631973>those travel packages?these are actually a good deal, so I wouldn't avoid them. even the lunch is good.keep in mind that your tickets to places are all single entry, so you can't go back without buying a new ticket.
>>2631973You will see "handprint" indentations in the oldest stones. Do not put your hand into the handprint. Not even if you see other people doing it first. That's all I will say on the subject.
>>2632007if you just want to party with a bunch of european tourists and israelis go to Wild Rover HostelThere are some clubs who cater to that crowd also, you'll end up there
>>2631973Cusco is quite small. Do it by footJoin the hike. Don't get the train there like a faggot fat American otherwise you don't deserve it.5 days is too much if you aren't doing the MP hike
Cusco is nice but also dependent how you adjust to the altitude, so your mileage may vary. You can visit Machu Picchu in one day via train, but I feel thats bit of a rush to get up early, spend all day traveling, just for a few hours at MP and then back again. Rather spend the night in Aquas Calientes, the down below MP. Arrive by train in the morning, see MP in the afternoon, spend the night and then see it again in the morning before taking the train back to Cusco. MP has different routes which you MUST abide by, so you may miss something the one time.Besides MP, there are other smaller sites around Cusco and the Sacred Valley worth checking out if that's your thing. Otherwise Cusco also has nice museums and historical buildings, not to mention adventure activities too outside of the city.You will be accosted by touts in the main square selling "art", but Im told they're actually there just to sell you drugs.The city is high. so you're likely to get cold at night and blasted by UV rays during the day.
how was your trip to Brazil?
>>2632253Dont do it, you're asking for trouble. It's not Medellin, it's even more dangerous.
>>2632270it cant be bad if im bringing a girl to my place especially if im staying in like rio in copacabanathis might not help but ive been to brazil multiple times growing up, i have a lot of family there
>>2632253My post with the escort sites was deleted, just google the city name and acompanhante or massagem to find the sites then contact the girls on whatsapp. There's also different types of clubs, brothels and spas where they'll fuck. There's usually not much safety risk with the girls from sites or venues, but I would avoid the tinder method for now and never get paid girls from the street. The main risk is just wasting time from meeting a girl and finding out the ad was fake, so preference girls with videos and use your best internet detective skills to research the girls or find the places you can just go and see a line up.
>>2632270>It's not Medellin, it's even more dangerous.absolutely braindead take>>2632289>it cant be bad if im bringing a girl to my place especially if im staying in like rio in copacabanaI actually think it's much safer to meet at their place so you can limit your losses to what you bring with you, many of the brothels and girls work apartments are in commercial office buildings with normal security anyways.
>>2632290do they have HIV
It's been about 6 months since I moved outside of the US and I have an amount of lasting happiness and a lack of anxiety that never would have been possible while living in the US. There really is an evil atomized vibe in the US that fills me with dread, and the women really are cartoonishly awful. There is a lifelessness I see in the eyes of American men trapped in their debt for their McMansion slaving away in their office for Mr. Shekelberg and their evil fat wives that I am so happy I was able to escape.To any anons thinking about moving abroad, don't listen to faggots on here with their demoralization propaganda or their bitter shaming, do it. As long as it isn't an angloid shithole if you spend months outside of the US you will realize there really was nothing wrong with you it was unironically an evil environment. I don't care how you manage to do it whether it's working remote and not telling your employer about it like I did, or if it's taking a pay cut to quit your job and TEFL, DO IT. Escape that prison society.

>>2632070Gay. If you had any degree you could teach English.
>>2632070I have nothing. I have no skills. And no job history. How do I get out?
>>2632227I dunno bro. I am sympathetic to your grievances and I want to help but that does make it harder.
>>2632166poland sucks if you won't learn polish, and polish is a brutal language to learn. the guys don't bother to learn english at all. except girls dating you, everyone is irritated with you for making them speak english and they aren't shy about it. its fine for a time but living there it gets real old real fucking quickthe only plus of poland is the women. if you want a hot white gf, i guess go find one and then drag her to the nearest airport.. she won't fight youif you could go anywhere else, budapest, vienna, whatever, you'd enjoy it a lot more. even gdansk or krakow if it has to be polandamerica is where id prefer to live, but the women are simply too disgusting mentally and physically. i see others here sharing similar sentiments so clearly people starting to realize the main issue with the place
