I'm a male, 25 years old and recently I have been having the urge to see more of the world, im based in Europe and would like to start by visiting other European countries.
>What will I need?
>Any tips for a new traveler?
>Is there any program in the EU that I should be aware about?
just go and do it, it's so beyond easy nowadays with smartphones that even a literal moron can do it, especially if it's in the EU. choose literally any transportation you want and go. literally just do it, learn on the way
This anon is right. It's so stupid easy because we have gps maps on our phones. Fo you know how less often if ever I got lost with this? I used to find a map before I go, use local maps or ask for directions.
New travelers tend to be over confident or stand out too much. This makes you an easy target. You need to look like you aren't naive. Bring a pen, paper, tissues, know some basic phrases, have some money exchanged before you go and use banks for this, learn the conversion to your currency so you don't see a price and not know how much it actually is, look up sketchy areas to avoid, don't carry valuables, try local foods, try to get off the usual tourist path, try things that locals do, don't plan too much or rush, don't panic when something goes wrong, and being kind goes a long way. Also if someone is mean to you, it's because they are a c**t, don't take it personally and feel bad just because you are foreign.
EU is baby mode for traveling. Just have money. Start there, then branch out. Don't just hop off to some remote part of Ecuador.
south america is fun - but dangerous
why not try working somewhere abroad? you'll probably have a good time at 25
Any tips for finding work abroad? I work with computers and shit but I'm willing to do whatever I can/need to
Abuse your bastard gov, suck them dry of as much cash as you can.
Frick your creditcards and the banks. Get evrything you can out of them.
The only money you will ever make is that of your own creation. Working a job is slavery,period. O argument.
Do not start with the EU it is a shithole.
Go Thailand and see paradise, nothing will be the same after that.
Get disability, rape your shithole gov for everyyyythinnggg it has done to your future.
They sold you out. Broke the social contract. Frick them. Take your dna and go seed the planet.
don't fall for tourist traps
Start with small trip in safe normal countries, you'll learn the basics.
Don't get blackout drunk in a bar
Don't get lost in some ghettos
Avoid gipsies and scammers
Plan your trips a lot, know your itinerary, do some research online about what you want to visit (pay attention, most websites online tend to give a false idea about the places they advertise)
etc etc
>Avoid gipsies and scammers
This is good advice.
How do you feel about going alone? I’m a bit older than you and also want to go to the EU but don’t know what I’ll do there. Walk around? Eat? I’m not exactly one of these people that’s always snapping pictures nor am I a social butterfly.
what the frick do you mean you don't know what to do
fine, just be a slave your whole life and pay taxes and make money, but hardly any, and develop your 'character' which means working extremely hard for no benefit, then die.
fricking moron
bit rude
sorry. I'm in a bad mood and people like you have been ruining my day.
why are you even alive if you don't know how to enjoy life. have you never learned how to do anything at all?
do you need a license to have fun, or meet new people? is touring a beautiful city not good enough for you?
people like you are why people need a license to do basic jobs, and why the license costs 50k dollars. its why the job conditions get worse, and why no one expects that you should have the right to basic autonomy and enjoy life. "if I dont enjoy my life, then passing x resctriction to stop others seems reasonable." seriously dude. frick you. grow up.
Traveling, in 2023, is for morons. That guy is rightfully questioning the point of it.
why is it for morons tho? should I just say in the pod and eat ze bugs?
no, you should have a fulfilling home life in a place worth being with friends and family who more than meet all your social needs
Yeah, travel is good but not if home life sucks. Travel just showed me what a miserable shithole Canada is though and what I actually want from life. Mental health is amazing when I'm travelling but come back to shithole Canada and it's depressing, lonely and isolating. Life feels meaningless. Gonna GTFO once I'm done with school.
You know what I mean.
>What will i do in 30 countries
Gee. I dunno. Fricking have a nice day
> just walk around and snack by yourself 30 times
nice idea
Sounds a bit boring and pointless
rude
you walk around, look at stuff, eat and repeat
My recomendation is that only go with carry on.
If they plant you drugs in your suitcase in the airport (when you give your suitcase to some corrupt staff of the airport) you could end up like 10 years in a prison of a country you don't even speak their language.
More common that airline tell you.
>my poor idiot boomer parents actually paid them out once
lol, what do these people got on you?
Don't be a homosexual and draw up a list of big cities. It's boring and grindy as frick.
Try to incorporate the following into your travels:
>different modes of transport
>varying sizes of places; mix of urban and rural
>mix of accommodation types
>active activities which complement the terrain you're in
>cultural sightseeing is both varied and which paints different aspects of a narrative you're trying to build
Focus on Eastern Europe, as Western Europe is an expensive shithole saturated by undesirables.
>Poland
>Czechia
>Balkans
>Baltics
= great starter pack destinations.
