Hoping to take the Trans-Mongolian Railway from Beijing to Ulan Bator to Moscow in January. Staying a few days in each place, I want to spend as little as possible but am considering getting one of the better classes on the train.

Planning the logistics of this holiday seem like a nightmare. I think there must be a million little things I'm not considering. Booking tickets that include stopping at places along the way seems especially complicated.

Anyone done the Trans-Siberian Railway before and want to share their experiences or give some advice?
When and where to buy tickets and for how much?
What class is best?
How to interact?
What to expect?
Anything?

I am white and a blonde dirty hair color and I weight 689 which isn't that big but still..no boys want me or girls. Please help me and no mean comments! I am suicidal and I'm 14 so yeah. Byes!!

I'll be in the city this saturday for some things and I was wondering if anyone was aware of any events besides the Parade and the dozens of parties at clubs and bars.

Is it possible to make a visit as an ordinary person to Midway Island at all?

I really want to go there.

Are there any work/volunteer programs abroad that don't suck ass or cost $5000? I want to travel and actually /do/ something, whether it's wildlife conservation or being an au pair, but everything I've looked for is always hyper expensive or "work teaching children for 16 weeks with no pay in sierra leone".

Has /trv/ ever found a good place to find overseas work that doesn't require an advanced degree or thousands of dollars?

Just got a $15 Uber credit. Has anyone used Uber before? Good experiences / horror stories?

Could anyone recommend any decent backpacks for me? I'm looking for something around 40 litres with a day pack attached.

So What you guys can say about Cologne on Germany? it's a calm place to live? people there are friendly?

whether it's landscape, museums, or some other unique trait, what should you definitely see if you're traveling to a certain state? VA here, looking to travel most of the USA later in life if I get enough funds.

if you want VA, i'd recommend anything history related, we're overloaded with that. confederacy museum and the capitol to name some.
