>>2630950The only men I’ve known to hate parenthood are the ones who lacked strong fathers.
If the baby screams I scream, simple as.Why is it okay for a small human to scream but not a big one? Everybody else will just have to put up with it if I feel like screaming.

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.
>>2631842Phoenix
Going to US for the cities is like going to Japan for the beaches
>>2631842DC
>>2631911I would say Chicago for late summer as someone who lived there; the beaches, the river, the parks are all beautiful and it’s great weather along with a great music scene. Underrated areas are Northerly Island Park, Free 4th floor deck at Willis Tower, Chicago Botanical Garden (outside the city), and the free yoga at Navy Pier on Tuesdays and fireworks on Saturdays Fall; go to Boston can get a day trip and watch the leaves turn, plus much more history
>>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.
Redpill me on Flushing Chinatown in Queens, NYCI want to travel but not go to far. I live in upstate NY so I wouldn’t even be leaving the state.All I know is that it’s the biggest Chinatown in the US now. And street view on Google Maps make it look comfy.
>>2629060flushing is awesome, i used to live there. maybe i'm biased cause i'm chinese.. yes, it's crowded and gross but it's also homey. >>2631718a cheap eat could be chungmoo, it's a small korean restaurant.
>>2631967How would a white boy be treated if he moved there?
>>2629089its actually chinese
theres a lot of new condos buildings going up around Flushing still. It seems to be getting more densely populated
>>2632185I’ve seen people that are worried it’s being gentrified by rich Chinese nationals. A lot of rich people in China are scared of getting prosecuted by the CCP and so they get real estate in other countries as a place to store their money and a getaway.It’s a huge problem in Canada.
Give it to me straight /trv/, wait till I am a 30 with declining looks with an even more jaded outlook on life and complete globohomo or go in my 20s with zero money but with zero life experience and potential of arrested development and stunted career prospects?
>>2632179or be me, live at home, wait until 40, have 7 digits net worth, finally get a first gf and go on weeks long international sexcations with her
>>2632179lost interest halfway through that torturous sentence
>>263217933 year old hair transplant recipient here.Your looks aren’t really in jeopardy at 30 unless you’re significantly balding (and do nothing about it), are a fat sack of shit, and/or you eat goyslop constantly and let the sun cook you alive. However>jaded and globohomo That is realistic>stunted career prospectsTravel first then go to college, and I mean do it for at least 1-2 years. By that time you should be good to go. Your career prospects are only stunted if you’re doing something like international financeI’ve never had a career so idgaf about fucking off for a year at a time
Post tips, destinations, and travel ideas for low energy travelers who don’t want to do drugs, bang hookers or party all night.
>>2624289Do cruises.
unironically cruises since everything there is catered
>>2627078find a small town with scenery and nature you might like (especially one off main highways), stay there for a couple daysI've done this in several places near where I happened to be working at the time, but I think you can probably do at least as well almost anywhere, depending on what kind of weather/topography/amenities you're looking for
Cruises are great for lounging and getting drunk Mexican beach or resort town Air BnB in the woods. Cascades or Sierra Nevadas or Appalachians or Ozarks
>>2628209>>2628236>>2629802this is not the /trv/ approved answer, but it's the best one.pick when you want to gopick WHERE you want to gopick your luxury/cost ratioshow up.that's it
What Greek beaches would you recommend for swimming?

>>2629849how gay is a swimsuit of that length/tightness in europe?I've been working out consistently for 2 years now and am in pretty good shape. I'm also going to Greece this summer and want to look great like Bond.

>>2631219If you're actually in good shape you'll look attractive in anything
I'm currently planning a week-long trip to Spain, and was recommended these two general routes by a friend from there. What would you all recommend? I'm personally leaning towards the North, while probably scratching Valencia for more time in the other locations, but I'd love second opinions
>>2630759much thanks!
>>2630760>>2630761Do either of you have a preference between Asturias, Cantabria, and Basque/Navarre? I've since been given an alternate route with Oviedo and Logroño instead of Zaragoza and Valencia, but that still leads to a ton of driving.
>>2627896>I'm currently planning a week-long trip to SpainSame. A family member invited me so I've got no plan. I'll definitely be monitoring this thread.About the only insight/interest I have that might direct me is playing EU4 and Civilization games, so I'll probably gravitate solely to historic sites (maybe something Roman or Moorish) unless someone suggests something else interesting. I might visit Portugal too.
>>2630759I just checked and all tickets to any Basque Country town from any Madrid points are 40+ €, whether bought for tomorrow or 2 months in advance
Is there a particularly great destination in Portugal?
Will be moving to the north of England soon.What are some nice little towns to visit?
Visit Rotherham. Very close knit community. Great Indian food. Public transport is so-so, rely on taxis.
Which part of the norf? It's quite a large area
>>2632133I heard it's like one big gang there.
What camera do you take travelling or do you just use your phone?I bring a film camera which can be a pain going through X-Ray checkpoints but it's worth it for the results tee bee haytch.
>>2631516GR has no zoom and no EVF, Deal breaker imo. 28mm might as well use iPhone
>>2630461depends on the tripI've taken an RZ67 with a 3x lens kit + tripod on a 6 week trip through Alaska/Canadathen on a two week trip to New Zealandlast vacation I brought my a7iii with a kit lens and the Samyang 45. barely got used apart from a photoshoot I lined up. majority of my photos were taken on my google pixel and that was plenty good (plus I didnt have to worry about the lens fogging up due to humidity)Last work trip, I booked another photoshoot on my day off and took my YashicaMat 124G and a Canonet QL19 (the Yashica is an awesome medium format travel camera, but I find i reach for the RZ67 more often than not, even though it's a cinder block)Each trip i'll always use my phone's camera. it's just plain convenient for snapshots.If I think i'll be doing a photoshoot again: RZ67 + 110mm and the sony a7 + 45mmIf i don't have a shoot lined up, I'll likely just bring the Canonet QL19 if i can source film locally (airport security are retarded, so i avoid bringing my own)
I have a Sony a7iii that I'll use for local shots but I need more lenses for it before I take it overseas.
>>2631291Thanks for the info, I'll look into it while I'm down there.
>>2630531Could i do some low quality grainy shots with it?Picrel is what i carry and people love to pose for it. I like the soft and grainy shots it produces and i usually shoot in Black&White. I just wish it did low light better Maybe someone can reccomend something similar but with more freedom of manual functions?
What is /trv/'s opinion on The Beach (2000), a movie about travel culture?
>>2631588>IT'S ABOUT FINDING YOUR BEACH, YOUR OWN PEOPLE AND YOUR OWN SPACE IN SEAi suppose the issue here is this isnt /lit/, its /trv/ and the same reasons one might have for watching The Beach are usually the same for travelling there. you imply that the film would've worked as well if set in detroit or cancun. thailand is a unique place; a place of wonder and longevity. maybe isolating oneself amongst like minds on some untrodden island is unrealistic. but if you want to live out a colonel kurtz fantasy, then applying for an educational visa focusing on security training or muy thai can get pretty close; shooting off rpg rounds should get you the rest of the way. the urge to find a little slice of heaven isnt recent. whether it be hotel california, margaritaville, or shangra-fucking-la. the difference is thailand is still at its (realtive) peak thirty years later.
>>2622439I'm really curious to know what the important phone call you might get is about?>>2622428I really like this movie, I realize it's not good though. Some of my favorite movies are ones that were relatable at that moment. I was going through similar experiences at the time and the romance, exoticness and self hatred of Leos character had a effect on me.
>>2631999This.Other people don't have to dig it for you to dig it
>>2622439Found someone more isolated than me, at least I have pretend friends, do you even have work bro?
I just want to add a cute Euro girl who I had sex with in Thailand in 2003 to Myspace (none of this ever happened)
who /cruise/ here? Thinking of taking my parents on one I'm curious if there is any good ones for North Americas
Traveling to Europe for the first time, assume I know absolutely nothing, any tips, or things I should look into? The trip is going to be about a month-long, in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and maybe Germany. I've got about $7,000 USD saved up for the trip, but hoping to save money wherever possible.
Post a pic, anon finds it. Ideally somewhere findable via google street view, but not necessary.Starting off on hard mode.

Has you ever managed to get upgraded on your flight? How? You'll hear stories about it every once in a while but I've never understood how it works out in practice
>>2631055it doesn't happen so much any more but back in the day when i travelled pretty much all the time it happened frequentlyi had the top tier in at least one loyalty scheme in each of the main alliances so sometimes it would just happen randomlyairlines like to keep their best paying passengers happy so a couple of times i got booklets with vouchers for free 1-class upgrades (econ to prem, prem to business, business to first). i also got vouchers for free weekend car rentals, that sort of thingnow airlines sell upgrades at the gate and so on, so it doesn't happen so muchof course you can upgrade with credit card points etc but i don't spend enough to make it worthwhileincidentally i also got downgraded once. i was booked on a flight in prem but it was cancelled so i had to get rebooked onto another flight, but because of some weird fare rule i could only get an econ seat on the rebooked flight. that was fucking swiss airlines, i have declared them to be my mortal enemies
>>2631055I’m scheduled to fly on a 14 hour flight to South Africa next month, was going to sit there and bear economy for the flight but I caved and spent the extra $500 for economy plus on both flights for the extra legroom. I’ve only ever flown twice and after five hours my ass was aching from economy seats. Stupid decision or not?
>>2631055I had platinum status on American for a year, and got upgraded on probably 80% of my short-haul flights. For American, they just update your booking in the app on the day of the flight, as late as maybe a half hour before booking. The mobile boarding pass doesn't always update properly, so you've got to delete it and redownload, or get one printed at the gate or check-in desk. I've never gotten upgraded otherwise.
legroom will help, but the seats are basically the same on most carriers. (unlike the old air NZ premium economy pods, those were like baby business class)should be fine, but learn some basic stretches/yoga, then go to the back of the plane every few hours just to keep moving. they really need to have treadmills/stair masters you can book time on just to get a bit of movement back, humans aren't meant to sit still for that long
>>2632140>>2632155
>Why don't more Americans go overseas?Is it ignorance, stupidity?America literally has the most powerful currency to ever exist. People on peasant-wages here can live like a king in 90% of the Earth, yet most Americans don't seem to even be aware you can go anywhere except Hawaii and Cancun. They think you're "ultra" adventurous for even having a passport FFS.
>>2624947Spoken like someone with a weak passport. Seeth
>>2624966>many Americans have less than two weeks a year of time off from work, that employers are hesitant to give.This is a bigger reason imo; even with low wages, a single guy with no family or mortgage could save money to travel. However, that 10 days of PTO is often both vacation AND sick leave in the same pool, and it can be denied due to business needs unless it oversteps a legal boundary like FMLA. Some people quit their jobs to travel with money they saved up.
>>2624957I went to the NL about a year ago for the 1st time, great country. But I have no intention to travel outside the US any time soon, mainly because I don't want to interrupt the work that I do. If I took a couple of weeks off to travel, then I'd be behind on my projects which are more important to me right now.I like my 9-5. Call me simple, but I just don't care too much about pretty old buildings.>>2624959We should defiantly travel more and experience other ways of doing things. Nothing like first hand experience. However, to your point, I live in New England, and if I want some culture just I'll drive into Boston - I feel pretty content. It's just not that easy to get on a plane and cross the ocean for a few weeks, now I'm down 2 to 3k.
>>2624947You must not have been to Paris or Rome then
>>2624947half of us are too poor for expensive vacations
