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.

I've been gradually preparing for a trip to the Democratic Congo I want to do (well me and my friend). Looking into it over the past month it looks like a fucking nightmare to even get past customs. You need:•A personal letter of invitation from a private host, stamped by the City Hall in Kinshasa•A letter explaining the purpose of the trip, the locations you're visiting, how long you're staying, and hotel reservations•Proof of funds for the trip•Professional photos of yourself•A letter signed by the local authorities in your country•A stamped "travel permit" to travel thru the country•And probably a boatload of bribing fees you'll have to pay just to get out the front door of the airportI ain doing all that shit. What "hotels" am I going to reserve if I even want to travel into the country lol?So I'm thinking a better idea would be to cross the border from another country. Republic of the Congo is much easier to travel to I hear. And Lake Tanganyika is right across from Tanzania. Does anybody have any experience or knowledge about walking over the border and what happens?
>>1580152how is he a moron? seems like he's giving valid advice, that if preparing a few documents is such a big hassle for you then you probably shouldnt be going to the fucking congo
>>1577972dead giveaway this is a troll post.
>>1580152Yeah op please go to Congo nothing can possibly go wrong. They all want that cool africa cred that the kids are so hyped for nowadays for themselves. They definitely are not trying speak some sense into you coming from years of experience. Don't listen to the arguments and points brought forth. They are just blowhards. Again. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

What's your top 3 best/worst travel vloggers?Best:3: Drew Binsky, yeah I know he shills shitholes like pakistan and bangladesh but I like that he's exploring countries like Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea etc...2. Indigo Traveller, like Drew but he feels more real.1. Bald and bankrupt, he's NT as fuck, entertaining and he shows us the shitholes of USSR that no one ever goes to.Worst:3. Mark Wiens, I just can't stand his ugly fucking face everytime he eats something.2. Sam Chui, shills shit airlines such as Biman Bangladesh, not sure if you can call him a travel vlogger1. Lost Leblanc, I just can't stand this ugly cuck and his ugly dwarf girlfriend. He clickbaits, travels to boring destinations such as bali and he's so fucking boring with no personality.
>>1580211>BnB is so obviously spammingJai bhole ki my friend. How do I find the travel board?
>>1580218Kike

Is there pasta for this somewhere? Either way, I didn't see any active mainland threads, so here it goes. Question: does Didi still have a time restriction, or is it 24/7 again by any chance?Some links Maps:amap.comBetter than Google Translate:fanyi.baidu.combing.com/Translator
>>1580353Don't respond to my question with a question.
>>1580357go and make the move and be fucking miserable, why would i care
>>1580362So you have no evidence to point to. Just ignore this drama queen.
>>1580334Planning how? Marriage visa is the only ‘rest of your life’ way a foreigner can stay, no? And that doesn’t allow you to work, which makes it useless unless you’re a mail order bride sponsored to stay.
>>1580334I would send them to the nearest psychiatry for a check-up. Unless they are from Bangladesh or North Sudan or so, i which case I would congratulate them and give them some Chinese language books.
Is working as a crew member in a cruise ship a good way to travel the world without spending money?
>>1580331Boring as shit after the first month when the charm wears off. Nice to chill but I rarely got more than an hour to so it wasmt really worth it
>>1580272>if you're from US/UK/Canada/ you'll likely be underpaidwhat does this mean?
>>1580337I'm pretty sure he means that the level of wage you'll get working will be less than what you could earn back home, which is the case for nearly every person from those countries working abroad.
>>1580166I know a guy who works as a personal trainer on a cruise ship, seems to love it and keeps posting photos of all the places he's been. Does a lot of exploring + partying. You probably have to be very sociable to make it as a PT on a ship though.
>>1580272Heard all the crew are fucking around nonstop on those cruises. Is that true?

If you don’t understand the map: higher number means Purchasing Power Parity GDP is higher than Nominal GDP
Going to Italy next week. Any tips?
>>1577963Go in the manga stores if you like jojo, there's a lot of stuff
>>1577965>venture into the smaller towns,this
>>1577965>venture into the smaller townsdo you rent a car to do this? are there automatic cars to rentdo you need to know italian?
>>1580184>he can't drive a stick
>>1580184Only the smallest cities in the middle of nowhere where train service is very limited. Otherwise travel by train.Italians are accommodating. Learn how to say hello/good morning and you'll be fine.
what's the worst tourist trap you have fallen for?
>>1580123My sides. This is something I’d expect from Eastern Yurop
>>1579225Get on my level.>Not the largest chair in the world, nor even the largest Duncan Phfye style chair in the world, the Giant Chair of Thomasville is nonetheless a very large chair.
So how many of you bastards have seen Rock City?
>>1579482>You could argue anybody that has been to Paris has fallen for the worst tourist trap.kek>jazz/electroswing clubs.KEK
>>1580123Everybody has to have a hobby, I guess
I have about 5 days worth of free time in Colorado in the first week of May. Could anybody familiar with some great Colorado scenic camping recommend a place for me to camp out? Will also take suggestions for general nature spots in Colorado to visit.
still too cold for most placestry great sand dunes
>>1577995Ive been to almost 50 countries and the San Luis valley is one of my favorite places on earth. I have no idea what it's like in early May though. I actually flew over it about a week ago and it was covered in snow.
>>1578100I am in the rockies right now and its cold as fuck
>>1578100I appreciate this post very much. Seems like the best bet currently, with a warm sleeping bag anyway.Going to give this one bump and continue monitoring the thread until it 404s.
>>1579221Yeah definitely use a warm sleeping bag. Even during summer it can get pretty chilly at night. I would also highly recommend renting a 4wd vehicle if you don't already have one, as many of the best and least crowded trail heads are only accessible that way. And make sure you check out some of the small towns in the area; a couple of them are actually really interesting and there are some great places to set up camp on the outskirts.
Where's your next trip and how will you go about it?ROLL

He's going to end up dead
