>tfw you will never be able to bargain your way into a dank cabin on some vessel full of interesting people to trek through either an unamericanized, unspoiled Europe or unexplored lands in the far east or Africa, devoid of tourists, untouched by the western world
that "born to early to explore the stars, born too late to explore the planet" might be a meme but it's true
everything feels so commercialized and geared for tourism now. nothing is genuine, cultures are being erased or have become hollow, disneyfied versions of themselves
feels bad man
Why the frick do you exclusively go to tourist hotspots then complain you're always in tourist hotspots? For your next trip go to deepest darkest africa or the jungles of latin america instead of venice. What's that? Too dangerous? You don't want to go without wifi and a comfy bed for a few months? Looks like you're not too late for anything other than not being a pussy.
even if it’s not a tourist hotspot, pretty much everywhere in Europe has either been spoiled by America (McDonalds and Pizza Hut galore) or is full of coons and poos
Far East Russia is really cool. I miss going there. Plenty of beauty both in the land scape and women.
why reply and only cry?
Vladivostok is an amazing city
been there once when I lived in Japan. Pretty cool place honestly
I like going there to see all the Japanese cars driving on the correct side of the road but have the wheel on the wrong side. kek
what was the percentage of cars like that there sir?
Venice has great food though. South America not so much.
Are you seriously saying it's better than Argentina beef?
Dank ship cabins and unexplored lands - check
Bro just go to maurinatia or somewhere in west africa. Just stay the frick away from the mali border and you'll be able to have that exact experience.
OP has never been anywhere
neither have you
there are still places wo tourists to discover. you are a whiney npc b***h now and would have been in the past. you wouldnt have even made it out of your village back then.
OP really touched a nerve for saying nothing but truth
Stop being a blackpilled Black person 65% is unironically still oonga boonga undeveloped you’re just a homosexual
You don't understand. OP just wants to go somewhere that is both non-touristy and full of civilized white people.
Why wouldn't such a place exist?
It's not like every white country with money imports poor immigrants to do the work that they feel like they're too good for (then complains about them).
Don't bother OP. The zoomers and trannies that inhabit this board don't understand what they missed out on. Even in the early 2000s there were still a few places left where you could explore something genuine. Even if you go to the boonies nowadays everyone has a cell phone.
>lmao just go to least develop parts of Africa where you are likely to be robbed and murdered for being white
If we have reached that point, you are only proving OP right
2020-2021 was a great time to be living abroad. Zero short term tourists around, and you noticed this mostly by the absence of whatever the most annoying nationality/ethnicity of tourist in that region was. In that sense it was better for me than my earliest backpacking days in the mid-90s (but of course those other 90s vibes weren’t there).
To be in most countries you had to have been there before it closed or jumped through hoops. But there were still places open, it’s just most people didn’t take advantage of them and stayed home and complained. And now they’re still complaining.
Even me - I can’t help look back fondly on the past 2+ years. But the difference is that I know everything will just continue to get worse in the future, so I try to live for the moment and enjoy whatever the present has to offer.
Not being able to get on a boat and go to parts of Africa where you get killed for looking different is exactly what he's complaining about. Compared to the 1500-1800s, it's easier now to go somewhere "undeveloped" and not die.
Far East Russia is nice and disconnected
Can confirm. Far East Russia is fun, based, and comfy. There used to be an anon that posted here that lived in Siberia, not the same but close.
>Even if you go to the boonies nowadays everyone has a cell phone
exactly everyone is unimpressed or a dopamine addict
what was the feel? janny deleted the picture and now i can't fully emotionally comprehend what feel you're talking about
Should have traveled in 2020. I know, it’s not that easy but 2020 was definitelt THE year to travel.
Went to Iceland, Sweden, Spain etc. There was nobody. Absolutely nobody.
cheaper too. Sweden was amazing.
Hell yeah it was insanely cheap.
Decent hotels that usually cost 300-500 euros per night in Iceland were down to 100-150.
Stayed in a very posh boutique hotel in Stockholm’s old town for 120 a night. Beautiful large room filled with genuine antiques. I checked the prices a month ago and it’s now 500 a night.
>Sweden
>cheap
this must be a troll
Cheap by Scandinavian standards.
Re-read the post. Everything was at least half price.
True, I apologize
I wish I could’ve. I got clean from heroin in June of that year so that was a very turbulent year for me. Can’t believe what I missed out on.
Glad you got clean anon.
I went to Cancun and Jamaica in 2020. Yeah, youre right, there was nobody- and it fricking sucked and made the places super sketchy and creepy.
Glamping at Lake Bled is pretty fun tbh actually.
I dislike the modern world. There's no alternative though.
What was OPs photo and why was it deleted?
not sure senpai, but it's gone like many others.
jannies actively trying to kill the board because SighSee *was* one of the few good boards left
Why would they want to kill this board? makes no sense.
What's dank have to due with travel?
Not that dank idiot.
