How does /trv/ afford exuberant air costs? It's about $1,000 roundtrip to Europe and 1,500 for Asia. Maybe I just have a skewed view of money, being a dirt poor college student. It's frustrating because I have wanderlust bad.

>>1046177 Have you looked at skyscanner?
I can normally find SFO - Asia travel for $5-700, but a lot of the time it's with China Southern. I'm also seeing New York - Amsterdan for $500, as long as you've got the flexibility to fly on the cheap days. Just try putting in your home airport and a flight to Anywhere

Use comparative websites like Skyscanner or Expedia and observe the stopovers, i.e. check if it would be cheaper to go to the stopover by train or ferry than to buy a plane ticket there as part of the package.

>>1046471 Malaysian food is good. Personally my favorite SE Asian country food-wise because of the variety and accessibility. I always enjoy trying new foods traveling but Malaysia was one of the only places I was really excited about it.
How long are you staying for? If you're there for more than a few days it might be worth considering just losing your hotel deposits and travelling to a more interesting part of the country. It wouldn't cost that much more, domestic travel is cheap as fuck (I once paid $14 for a flight) and you can get cheap guesthouses in most places.

Dont worry, KL is an interesting place, and if you add some sorroundings, you can easily spend more than a week there without getting bored.

>>1046319 Bear in mind that you need certain conditions to happen in order to be able to watch the northern lights... you need the skies to be clear, and higher solar activity. If you really want to see them you should stay longer over there, otherwise just try to make a better use of those days.
As for Berlin, if you want to go to the Brandenburg Gate, get there early as it gets crowded and the access gets closed.

>>1046153 This is one good reason to not go to SEA. It attracts the scum of the earth backpackers.

Yeah, I lost my passport the day before an international flight while abroad. I was flying from Berlin to Oslo for a few days and then to Florida. I had to sit in the embassy for a few hours while they made an emergency passport for me. During the process the wanted to know every detail of my life for the past 6 months and where exactly I had been traveling and so on. And it was in no way cheap at all.

>>1046242 I mean, if you go to SEA and go to where scum of the earth backpackers frequent, which I don't

Quoted By:
>>1046514 I'm talking about the places in SEA they frequent aren't the ones I frequent. I don't stay in hostels or go backpacker bars. I bounce back and forth between normal, developed world style tourist shit, and hooking up with locals and going completely native. Though the latter ends up less like "traveling" and more just like living in a foreign country for a bit.

Hello, anyone have experience traveling in Indonesia? I will be flying into Jakarta for 20 days in January. I wanted to spend a few days in Jakarta at least and explore the city. The Jakarta surrounding area too like Bogor and Bandung.

I've heard and read about Bunaken before, but that wakatobi was new to me and seems really interesting .. I'll have to look into it more thoroughly

>>1044629 Did 20 days in Indo few months back. Jakarta isn't too interesting, a bunch of fun to be had in Yogyakarta for a few days. TBH enjoyed the Gillis and Lombok the most.
Indo is relatively safe, though as it's a muslim country outside of Bali/Gillis it's not really set up for partying as the rest of SEA is.

I spent 3 months in a Ford falcon wagon travelling around the coast Australia (Cairns clockwise around to Perth). Great experience but would recommend a different more spacious vehicle. Our biggest problem was the humidity of north queensland. Had to shorten our stay there as we just couldnt get a decent night of sleep.

>>1046121 Look into a tent and a good air mattress. In the western US, there's a bunch of national parks that you can camp in. Might be a little late in the year for it though.
Anonymous
>>1046185 Well that was motivating beyond belief, thank you.
Where did you park your car when it was time to bunker down? I'm accustomed to stricter laws about parking your car through the night.
>>1046367 I have the tent, but not yet the money. That is something I haven't thought of, but I've experienced incredibly expensive park ground prices. Might be worth it for one night booked in advance.
Take note, I am considering a trip in which I don't stay in one place for longer than a day or two.

>>1046417 It differed a lot from where in Australia. Most tourist-heavy places had bans on camping outside of caravanparks. Out on the country-side they often provided free campgrounds with showers and all. We went about by asking all the other backpackers and grey nomads we met for tips. We found it best to find a nice place to camp and stay about a week. During which you can do little trips and actually get a feel for the town/area. Its easy to get stuck trying to get somewhere new all the time when on a trip like that

Hey /Trv/ Im new here in NYC and i wanted to go to interesting places here, besides the casual ones like the central park or the Liberty statue, Any good places you can recommend me?
Anonymous
>>1045352 You should go in the freedom tunnel. You have to go past the tennis courts on along the west side in the grass and shit to get to this hole in the fence. Last time i went was like 5 years ago. idk if homeland security blocked it off yet or what, but has lots of famous graffiti artists' works inside. It used to be filled with shanties built by homeless people... There are still some that live there. My friend got chased out by one once, but it's cool. It goes on for like 50 blocks
