Hey voyagers,
/trv/ is a slow board, so don't expect immediate responses. CHECK THE CATALOG – you might find threads already discussing topics you're interested in.

Before asking for suggestions, tell /trv/ about your:
>Budget
>Interests
>Level of understanding of the local language(s)
This makes it easier to give quality advice. Of course, keep your posts travel related.

For all other matters:
General culture questions >>>/int/
Politics discussion >>>/pol/
Transportation discussion >>>/n/

DC is a pretty cool city to visit.

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.

It's a good conversation starter
It 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.

>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.

unbelievably 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.
>>
>>2631200
First 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.

>voluntarily taking a greyhound

Anon, 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.

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.

in 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.

As 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.

>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.

I 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.

Cusco is quite small. Do it by foot
Join 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?

My 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.

I 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.

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.

poland 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 quick
the 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 you
if you could go anywhere else, budapest, vienna, whatever, you'd enjoy it a lot more. even gdansk or krakow if it has to be poland
america 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
