I am planning a grand Appalachian road trip to visit national parks departing from New Jersey for memorial day weekend / remainder of that week. So far here is my itinerary:
>May 24: drive to new river gorge NP
>May 25: hike
>May 26: drive to mammoth cave NP
>May 27: cave tours
>May 28: drive to Great Smoky mountains NP
>May 29-30: hike, camp, etc
>May 31: start drive home, stop in Maryland to visit a friend there
>June 1: return home

The only things set in stone right now are the New River Gorge and Mammoth Cave legs.

Here are my questions:
>Is it worth spending an extra day in Great Smoky Mountains for three days total, and then get home a day later (June 2)?
>Is it worth taking a three hour detour on the drive to Maryland to stop in Congaree NP? The pictures don't look that compelling to me, so I would be going just to tick it off the list. But that is worth something to me, as I would like to visit all of them by the time I die and I don't see myself down in that area again anytime soon.

I'm a 26yo Venezuelan living in Madrid, I came to Spain a year ago thanks to some money I made in crypto but now I'm almost broke.

>>

I see.
>Life is so boring
How so? What are your interests?
I think Spain has great food, architecture, weather, agriculture/agrotourism, and race tracks. From what I've seen on the internet Madrid has a lot of night life (clubs and such) as well.
Though I guess all of it requires money so if you don't have money, it doesn't matter anyways (I feel you).

Holy shit. It's been like 4 days since I forgot this thread.

I'm going to have about 31 days in Asia to split between Cambodia and the Philippines.

Would it make sense to do about 10 days in Cambodia and 21 in the Philippines? My friend is saying that 5-7 will be enough but I feel like it's not enough to see the whole country. On the other hand, I heard that a whole month would be good for the Philippines.

If anyone's been to both I'd appreciate some feedback.

Im about to book a flight to London.
I will be there for 5 days.
My budget for the whole trip will be about 700 - 1000 EUR incl. accomodation.
Ive never been to London or UK in general so Im up for tourist stuff like sightseeing and local cuisine or street food. Also ideas for nightlife would be appreciated.
Any recommendations?

Got the river, you can get a 2 hr boat up to Kingston, goes through central London, past Eel Pie island, loads of cool buildings to see or take the Clipper boat down to Greenwich or even further to Thames Barrier. You can tick off half your London landmarks in one go, plus who doesn't want to go under Tower Bridge. Both costs less than £20 and have a bar on board. Ive done it loads of times when my family visit, always good fun.

Do you like Belarus?

Went to Minsk in 2015.
Clean streets, no bums or drunks, no 'diversity'. No annoying politics as it's a dictatorship so your politics don't define everything in your life like it does here. Nobody makes any money but they still lived better than most here as their tiny salaries still allowed for living independently instead of jewish slavery. I was told rural Belarus is fucked because of Chernobyl and their pension pays nothing but the Canadian national pension pays fuck all too, not enough to afford rent anywhere but a crack shack.

Chernobyl is right on the Ukraine - Belarus border and when it blew up the wind was blowing just so, carrying a lot of the radioactivity over Belarus (and adjoining bits of Russia). main ill effects were quite a lot of thyroid cancer. some small areas are still uninhabitable due to cesium

As an american I can recall one instance related to this guys story. I was visiting some family in a small town in a flyover state. I had multiple family members who lived in the same town. They were all hanging out at one relatives house and I decided to go back to my aunts. Probably a 2-3 minute walk. All you would have to do is go up the 3 block street and turn left and you were there. One of my cousins seriously asked how I got back on my own. Left me fucking speechless. The tone of the question being asked as if it was some insurmountable task. It was a little hot but not too bad. They acted like I was crazy. God forbid not having air conditioning for 5 minutes.

To be honest there just something about Spanish speaking people that is off. I think this stems from a Spanish-influenced culture. Spaniards only care about their family and friends and literally do not interact or care with the outside world beyond that, that is often coupled with a certain arrogance and dismissal and disinterest towards anything foreign. Even they are in a different country they quickly form a group between eachother and refuse to integrate or show even the slightest interest in the culture of the country they're visiting, they'll try to make it seem as much as if they were at home and when things aren't like that, they become butthurt. I've started observing this with Spanish exchange students bit then I realized this is just how Spanish people are in general. The Portuguese are way more chill and open for some reason, but Spaniards often feel like this small buzzing annoying band of gypsies sorry I just can't overlook it

You did not miss much. Asado is shit. It's so dry, so flavourless. Asado makes me want to turn vegetarian, because they kill cows only to waste their meat. I had it many times and I never want to have it again. Argentines really don't know what they're doing with the meat, the heat, the flavour etc. straight up, asado tastes exactly like shitty barbeques we have in Eastern Europe to have something to eat with beer. Morsilla, matambre, sausages of course, we have all of those here. Also, I just don't know how you can like asado as a cut. It's literally all bone.

Where in the US are reasonably cheap monthly rentals? How do people afford hotel rooms here?
4 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.

>>2630903
$300/week is prolly the going rate for most budget places these days.
Most people who live in motels are ugly and depressed, the rejects of society. Often they work temp jobs or collect disability.
Laughlin, Nevada has some of the cheapest rooms in America. I stayed at the Pioneer for $33/night last winter, it was better than I expected for the price.
Cheapest weekly rate I paid was $170 in Ely, Nevada just after the coronavirus lockdown. Most places were shutting down hotels, but White Pine County declared them an essential business. Ely is a rough place surrounded by vast desolation.

>$300/week is prolly the going rate for most budget places these days.
Yeah I don't understand how the losers of society afford this for more than a few weeks. There are giga chads in Europe grandfathered into amazing, centrally located apartments for 1/3 of that.

>Laughlin, Nevada has some of the cheapest rooms in America. I stayed at the Pioneer for $33/night last winter, it was better than I expected for the price.
That's only because it's the off season. Laughlin is alright as a stopping place but the rooms will go to 150+ during summer weekends (boating season) and when a country music concert is happening. The $30 rooms attract a ton of Mexicans and blacks from LA but rooms are still better than a shitty motel run by pajeets. Biggest red flag in the US hotel industry is a lobby that smells like Indian food.

Clearly most of the people in this thread know little about Africa as there are many safe, stable countries and territories there where you can travel stress free if you just don't act stupid.
