Since you only asked for 5. What you probably don't realise, mr. Instagram traveller, is that there are other things, like the culture and all the different mess of ethnicities, and lots of other reasons to visit a place than just listable locations. The fact that someone with a straight face can claim that there is nothing interesting to see or do in afghanistan, one of the most interesting and beautiful places on earth, just shows how much of a shithole this place has become. You zoomies haven't completely taken over yet but this board is getting damn near useless.
Id say theres a strong chance it will be a long time before Myanmar is visitable again given the current civil war/military coup.
I went in 2018 and its an amazing place, so glad I went when it opened up.
Lmao I was in myanmar at the end of 2019, just before covid and then the coup. Got lucky there, one of the reasons I've started getting paranoid on missing out on things.
That covif would ruin everything and not to try just give up hope.
I'm a historyfag, so you bet I want to see Gandhara.
Also fun fact, Afghanistan was a big destination for hippies and trekkers back then in the 70s. Many boomers into trekking went there, right before the war.
Don't spend years thinking about it, just do it or you end up 40 like me finding it hard to make company with travellers. >hey dude it's great you're travelling when you're like old >yeah we went to a club we didn't think you'd like want to come?
Don't worry bros. I'm young and passing on your advice to other young people.
There's a reason why as soon as old people retire all they do is travel. And there's a reason why many people's biggest regrets at the end of life is not travelling enough.
Some people just don't get it though. They make their excuses even though if you chuck just $100 into a savings account each payday, you could get a ticket basically anywhere in the world within 6 months.

I don't think it will be 100% impossible to go to Russia though. It will be very hard, much harder, but I do not think it will be impossible.
Anyway, luckily enough I have been to Russia in 2019.

I am 25 now and have travelled every year since 18. Between 18 - 23 I was always the youngest by a long margin and inevitably seen as the 'baby' of the group because everybody else was 25+ so I'm not sure what you're talking about. It might depend on the part of the world though. This was all in Asia, so perhaps Europe attracts a younger crowd.
As a 28 year old considering traveling alone (studied abroad twice at 22 and 24 but never went for less than a week somewhere alone), this seems encouraging. I know there will be other late 20s traveling, but I have this irrational fear that I'll be treated like a boomer.
As you say, it might be due to Asia. Farther away, requires more money, a longer travel period, compared to Europe which is pretty cheap for anyone in Europe to visit, so maybe a younger crowd. I'm from Europe myself.
Did/do you stay in hostels or how do you meet people when traveling alone?
Yep I stayed at hostels. Just go up to anyone in the common area or dorm and strike up a conversation. They're staying at a hostel for the same reason as you i.e. to meet people. Just ask how long they've been in the city, where they've been so far, and what they recommend etc. and the conversation will go from there.
I will say that it can depend on the hostel and the city and a bit of luck. Sometimes you get unlucky and a hostel is dead or the few people staying there are keeping to themselves. If that's happening then I just switch hostels mid visit since I usually only book night to night anyway. My main point is if you get to a hostel and you're not having a great time don't let it put you off the idea of hostels in general, since it could be just bad timing.
But I've also made friends with expats by hitting up bars and things. Those people will be less likely to want to do touristy things with you for obvious reasons, but they'll often have the best advice and recommendations since they've been there a while. I'll look for bars with live music since I like that stuff back home anyway and inevitably they are filled with expats. Then just start a convo with whoever seems friendly. You've got to be open minded though, you'll meet a lot of people you would likely never interact with back home but that's part of the fun. You only have to hang with them for a night anyway.
Also wanted to add that the staff can be really helpful. Particularly at smaller hostels they'll often introduce you to the other people staying there if they notice you're travelling solo.
multiple short trips vs a few long trips is better for me personally until I leave the US for good any way. 7-10 days max but even 5 day trips are dope.

It's called flying by brand is stupid, example only flying Delta or RyanAir because they are %brand%.
Using whatever FF# or Loyalty # you have that multiple airlines share to bank points is not stupid.
Maybe learn to read or do you simply not know what FF programs are?

You get out of it what you put into figuring if it's a good one. Stayed on the side of a mountain in Norway last month, had a perfect view of the bay and no other possible hotels around, still was half the price of the cheapest hotel for a private room/bathroom.
Have you tried actually looking at hostels?

Yeah when it's up on the 4th floor and to get in, plus the elevator and room you need a key for all parts.
Proving the point still, sighsee doesn't know shit about hostels. Hostel to sighsee means "mat on a board in SEA with maybe a fan and 6 bunks to a room".

do you have any idea how many keycard access places I have been in? its not hard. literally just stand nearby and wait. or wait in the lobby (which usually is where the common area, kitchens, and laundry are so its not even suHispanicious or weird) and wait for a group of people coming in and follow them up. some rooftop ones are even accessible by fire escape.
or you could literally just befriend people there.

Okay, that's not generally something I care to deal with while on vacation. That's cool you have time to go creeping around hostels scoping them out to try and sneak in, some of us would seriously rather not be a weirdo. Generally on vacation I just like to be out and about, then chill in the common room with a few drinks. You do you, but still proving the point there, don't take advice from trv which has weirdo creepy people who sneak into hostel common rooms.

Yes you do, you retard. If there's one big thing that hostels aren't OK with, it's random outsiders coming and out. You'd know if you didn't spend your entire day trying to be bait people into replying to you.

my first shock coming to the uk was seeing all the fat women wearing crop tops when going to clubbing
they eat and drink like shit, look inbred and act either like turbosluts or feminist dykes. Some middle or upper class academic type girsl can be very hot, but they're an exception.
Was with an Argentina girl while I lived in UK and had mostly foreign girls flirt with me, can't say I ever really considered dating or bothering with a bong girl tbf
>>on average, very ignorant
English countries are the only places on earth anyone wants to live in, and that didn’t happen as a result of being ignorant. The only reason they are terrible to travel in is that they are expensive. A cheap hotel room anywhere in Canada will cost you half a months rent in most of Latin America.

None, but I've lived in UK and Ireland. Dystopian islands filled with ugly architecture outside of few and select places, shit-tier food, idiotic, alcoholic people (not even that good at drinking; Scandis and Slavs easily outdrink whatever Deanos or muh norfmen) that all look alike. To be honest I've never been to US of A, but average American tends to be a retarded, annoying mouthbreather that speaks nasally and acts like the world is Disneyland, so I don't have high hopes for it. I'd like to visit for the outdoors, probably some small towns aren't half bad. I like Australians though. New Zealanders just seem weird and autistic, plus they say "egg" in a strange way.
get away from parents who are ultra cheapos despite having money and constantly try to talk me out of doing literally anything enjoyable or that i wish to do in life
pretty much. i love them but jesus they are the most money-tight basic bitch normalfag npc boomers about everything.
always buy the cheapest version of everything. why buy any food that i cant get for a dollar at the dollar store? cruise? we'll just go on cheap carnival cruises near our home in florida and do zero excursions, not go to bars, activities, events, etc. stop at nasa on the way home? hell no. go to vegas? lets stay at the days inn, see zero shows, do fuck all at all but go to the buffets and walk the streets and maybe put $20 in slot machines.
what you wanna go over and see the X while were in Y? its gonna cost like $50 and its a one in a lifetime opportunity? anon, i just dont know... really should save that money and dont know about the time...
growing up you dont think about it, but looking back at every step of my life they tried to stop me from doing literally anything and everything i ever wanted to fucking do. and we never had money problems.
We are talking about travel you retard, the world of travel your parents grew up in is dead and gone. It could actually be debated that their advice could cause more harm than good when traveling, and has been for the past 2 decades or so.
Yes I am sure your Mom telling you to always stick to %national airliner% otherwise you'll be robbed and killed is sound advice, along with your dad telling you a firm handshake and looking them in the eye is the best way to get a solid hotel deal.
>and know more than you
I hate overly emoyional zoomers just as much as the next guy, but assuming a boomer will be really knowledgeable is totap retardation and shows you haven't actually listened to your parents advise. At most they will be knowledgeable about a world that doesnt exist anymore.
Nah, still not numb to it. Every long trip I take I meet at least two gals I develop real feelings for only for them to be ripped apart as I board a plane/train/bus
I literally start to wellup whenever I say goodbye to people forever, even if I end up disliking them.
The reason yall hate boomers is they are better than you in every way. Stronger, smarter, richer, more experienced, have touched females, nicer, not drug addicts, not coomers, own houses, know how to do stuff........etc etc ad nauseum

>why would someone ask you your age in the first place when you're out traveling?
Are you autistic? Not being mean, your other replies kind of imply you are. Finding out someone's age is often a normal part of a flowing conversation.
>why would someone ask your age in the first place when you're out traveling?
Traveling there is a lot of time sitting around, walking around, etc. People ask you questions, want to know about you. I can't tell people I graduated high school 13 years ago, so that influences my whole lifes trajectory. I have to cut parts out and compress timeframes. This is why I say I am 25 instead of 22, I'm able to keep more truths in my story and cut out fewer experiences (work, travel, college experiences) >And what benefit does lying get you?
Makes me less self conscious about being the weird older guy. Even if nobody thinks that, it makes me feel better. Also makes me feel better about just... getting older. I don't want to be 30 yet, I want to be 25. And I look young enough so why not just be 25
When Russia was already looming over Ukraine, I thought exactly that: I have to go to Chernobyl before a war happens there.
So I went this February, 2 weeks before the war started. I had a great time and I think my group was one of the last ones to visit before Russia invaded and they closed the site.
Imagine traveling all the way to some country just to sit around a hostel common room with a bunch of hippy retards on summer break from their gender studies degree.
Yeah that would be stupid. The common room of hostels is nice to chill for breakfast and maybe relax after a long day of being out to recharge your phone while having a beer though. It beats anything most hotels offer in terms of socializing, info of cool things around, kitchen, and laid back atmosphere.
I get why sighsee wouldn't like hostels since most people here can't fathom something outside of a party center or stereotypical dude bros and stacy's finding themselves. Though in general they can be a real benefit in terms of helping your budget out in order to extend your trips. I've found over the years of travel that hostel private rooms in the places hotels often would be are a far better value for the money.
Use whatever offers the best value and fits your needs, but how hostels get endlessly shit talked on sighsee is hilarious.

this is just confirmation bias. you want to believe your opinions are more sound and legitimate and therefore this opinion must be held by the overwhelming majority of people. so whenever someone has a different opinion and responds in a particularly antagonistic way, you just dismiss it by picking out "specific phrases" or "posting style" that you feel you saw before.

I've literally never had any of my posts deleted unless I was intentionally shot posting and breaking rules. Spamming the same shit is aggravating. You could say, yeah ignore it, but it's like having the street you live in get covered by bums who shit everywhere. Just ignore it, right?
Two factions exist: pro hostel and anti hostel. You are advocating for mods to ban all anti hostel posts because you think they're stupid and don't like they way they post, like they call you names or some shit. Boo hoo. I think you are stupid and the mods should ban you tbh
I did not. I said I think slammers should be banned, as per rules. When you have one mentally ill retard posting, and five other retard jumping on board, it drowns good posters. And then you have newfags who think that this is the norm, and before you know it, you have an avalanche of retards sweeping everything away. Not too long ago some Australian guy went to Afghanistan. Without OPs posts it maybe got 30 replies. Meanwhile you can spam the same, atrocious low quality bullshit and easily generate hundreds of replies, furthering the retard slide.

No, it's like going to a street called the "street of SHIT" for almost 10 years, that has always advertised itself as a feces ridden alley and also as the only street where you can let your bowels loose as freely and publicly as if you were in New Delhi with the drawback being that other people can also shit. And while you may have healthy poops, others may have diarrhea, but again, that's how the game goes, and the guy in charge of cleaning the street can only do so if someone pukes, no matter what the quality, as it is not relevant to said shitting street street.
And you, you're the guy asking why we're having too much diarrhea in here.
>low quality posts

He's right though. Jannies never go overboard with the guidelines and the janitors we have on sighsee are probably never here due to it being the slowest board. Hostels are an aspect of travelling. If it isn't forbidden by the rules, it's all fair game. if literal whoremongering threads are up don't expect strong ignorant opinions about hostels to be heavily moderated.
The issue with sighsee isn't that it's "just that guy" doing the same shit over and over. It truly is different people using the same troll arguments. And this is a place where people just keep on feeding because while half the board are complete cunts, the other half actually tends to have some actual ground experience and thus get rightly pissed when someone has the most retarded of opinions while pretending they know shit. This board's strength (the fact that not everyone is a complete retard and a few are actually knowledgeable) is its greatest weakness. If something pisses you off, the worst thing you can do is pointing out publicly and thus letting the troll feel acknowledged. Report the fucker and move on. If he's still up, straight up ignore him. Happens every fucking time someone starts a thread on China/Taiwan, you're just BOUND to have some fucker larping as a pro CCP tankie or pro-taiwanese hawk thinking we fucking care.
Also, instead of you fuckers complaining, maybe fucking do something about it and fill a janny application next time.
Actually, and if you remember correctly, it was quite the contrary. This website went down the fucking drain during gamergate and the fake mod screenshots and whatnot. Why ? Because moot was clearly fed up at what was happening and started directly moderating every fucking post. And what happened after that ? People started freaking out thinking the moderators want to silence some horrible truth.
Just look at what happened the other week when that janny finally fucking lost it and started deleting OP images. How did people react ? By breaking the rules and making a meta-thread. Chances are, our posts will be deleted too for this exact reason, and you'll freak out because you think you're getting silenced when really, it's just jannies doing their job and removing meta-board commentary.
A lack of moderation is a good thing, so long as they still handle the spammy bits, but on the other hand sighsee evidently doesn't have many janitors for as long as I've been here. Unsurprisingly so, since this board is so fucking slow and unpopular compared to the others.
Another element is that you fucking grew up and took up all the useful info you needed, and now shit is just boring and repetitive.
[...]
chanculture is based on repetitions, copypasta, or at the very least copying the same talking points over and over to troll people. Remember how /b/ used to have a thread about tipping every other week? The same points were brought up over and over again, but that wasn't because it's the same schizo having the same argument with his split personality over and over again, it's just that people bring up the same shit. Also, to top it all off, sighsee is a slow board, there are threads from as old as a month ago. So maybe people are just repeating what they said or saw in the last thread... a month ago.
There’s no point anymore. It’s not sighsee that has gone to the shitter. It’s the whole internet, the whole of it. Youtube, social media, Discord, streaming services etc. All of these are fucking shit and contributed to this shit.
It slowly went downhill since 2015 but the internet as a whole, which includes even the most mundane shit, became shit when the pandemic started. It’s like an eternal summer, it just won’t stop.
I used to check youtube daily for small videos, and now it’s always filled by the same shit seen by everybody, no matter how hard I try to hide/block. I stopped going on Youtube in 2021, after 15 years of daily visits.
And that obviously affects sighsee. I never got banned since 2007 and I just got banned last month for saying a “bad politically incorrect word” in a long informative post; it wasn’t even the main topic of the post. Incredible.
Anyway, I’ll keep on contributing on here as I consider traveling and going to new places my life. It’s not quite good but still better than elsewhere.

wrong
I like black and mixed race pussy. But, hey, white pussy needs love/dick too, so good for you.
I wish I started earlier
These two. You can't step in the same stream twice, sometimes once an oppurtunities gone its gone. I'm trying to visit places that might be irreprably changed soon now, but obviously these things are hard to predict.
So far I'm thinking:
>ethiopia
>US
>tibet & xinjiang
>mali
>somalia
>congo
>west papua
>kosovo and bosnia
>israel and palestine
>yemen & saudi
>afghanistan
>north korea
I've luckily been to a couple places that have since descended into chaos. I was supposed to transit through ukraine recently and have a day in kiev, but then the invasion happened:(
>Afgahnistan
Honestly only contrarian hipster fags are atrracted to it, i bet you cant even name 5 tourist atrractions there
>balkh
>zorkul(lake victoria)
>qunduz
>mazar-i-sharif
>tomb of babur
Since you only asked for 5. What you probably don't realise, mr. Instagram traveller, is that there are other things, like the culture and all the different mess of ethnicities, and lots of other reasons to visit a place than just listable locations. The fact that someone with a straight face can claim that there is nothing interesting to see or do in afghanistan, one of the most interesting and beautiful places on earth, just shows how much of a shithole this place has become. You zoomies haven't completely taken over yet but this board is getting damn near useless.
Lmao I was in myanmar at the end of 2019, just before covid and then the coup. Got lucky there, one of the reasons I've started getting paranoid on missing out on things.
Shut up zoomie
You write like an enormous fag
I'm a historyfag, so you bet I want to see Gandhara.
Also fun fact, Afghanistan was a big destination for hippies and trekkers back then in the 70s. Many boomers into trekking went there, right before the war.
Afghanistan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
t. combat footage enjoyer
Don't worry bros. I'm young and passing on your advice to other young people.
There's a reason why as soon as old people retire all they do is travel. And there's a reason why many people's biggest regrets at the end of life is not travelling enough.
Some people just don't get it though. They make their excuses even though if you chuck just $100 into a savings account each payday, you could get a ticket basically anywhere in the world within 6 months.
Thanks anon. My tale of woe here

>Syria will become a no-go zone in 2010
>Ukraine and Russia will become a no-go zone in 2022
I don't think it will be 100% impossible to go to Russia though. It will be very hard, much harder, but I do not think it will be impossible.
Anyway, luckily enough I have been to Russia in 2019.
Afghanistan is on my list.
Tibet and Xinjiang are already fucked beyond recognition, according to some Chinese friend who lives in Xinjiang.
Golden age of Tibet was late 80s, when China barely reopened to the world.
Id say theres a strong chance it will be a long time before Myanmar is visitable again given the current civil war/military coup.
I went in 2018 and its an amazing place, so glad I went when it opened up.
Fuck, dude.
Myanmar and Afghanistan are on my to-do list
Fortunately I never wanted to go to either of these places.
how to talk to girls
Don't spend years thinking about it, just do it or you end up 40 like me finding it hard to make company with travellers.
>hey dude it's great you're travelling when you're like old
>yeah we went to a club we didn't think you'd like want to come?
I’m 30 and it’s already this. Hell when I was 24 it was already this
Dude when i was 19 it was like this, traveling after 18 is suffering
Dude when I was born it was like this, traveling afterbirth is suffering.
>when i was 24
hate to break the news, but it wasn't your age lmao
I am 25 now and have travelled every year since 18. Between 18 - 23 I was always the youngest by a long margin and inevitably seen as the 'baby' of the group because everybody else was 25+ so I'm not sure what you're talking about. It might depend on the part of the world though. This was all in Asia, so perhaps Europe attracts a younger crowd.
As a 28 year old considering traveling alone (studied abroad twice at 22 and 24 but never went for less than a week somewhere alone), this seems encouraging. I know there will be other late 20s traveling, but I have this irrational fear that I'll be treated like a boomer.
As you say, it might be due to Asia. Farther away, requires more money, a longer travel period, compared to Europe which is pretty cheap for anyone in Europe to visit, so maybe a younger crowd. I'm from Europe myself.
Did/do you stay in hostels or how do you meet people when traveling alone?
Yep I stayed at hostels. Just go up to anyone in the common area or dorm and strike up a conversation. They're staying at a hostel for the same reason as you i.e. to meet people. Just ask how long they've been in the city, where they've been so far, and what they recommend etc. and the conversation will go from there.
I will say that it can depend on the hostel and the city and a bit of luck. Sometimes you get unlucky and a hostel is dead or the few people staying there are keeping to themselves. If that's happening then I just switch hostels mid visit since I usually only book night to night anyway. My main point is if you get to a hostel and you're not having a great time don't let it put you off the idea of hostels in general, since it could be just bad timing.
But I've also made friends with expats by hitting up bars and things. Those people will be less likely to want to do touristy things with you for obvious reasons, but they'll often have the best advice and recommendations since they've been there a while. I'll look for bars with live music since I like that stuff back home anyway and inevitably they are filled with expats. Then just start a convo with whoever seems friendly. You've got to be open minded though, you'll meet a lot of people you would likely never interact with back home but that's part of the fun. You only have to hang with them for a night anyway.
Also wanted to add that the staff can be really helpful. Particularly at smaller hostels they'll often introduce you to the other people staying there if they notice you're travelling solo.
I'm 30 but I look like I'm 22 so I just say I'm 25.
there are plenty of cool wine aunts that would love a male travel companion
SE Europe is a shithole
I travelled amongst unknown men in lands across the sea, nor England did I know till then what love I bore to thee.
That’s what I wish I knew beforehand.
To be extroverted and go off the beaten path.
Only exploring tourist sites and being surrounded by tourists isn't real travel.
multiple short trips vs a few long trips is better for me personally until I leave the US for good any way. 7-10 days max but even 5 day trips are dope.
That covif would ruin everything and not to try just give up hope.
I wish I knew how to read a woman's signals. I was super naive in Europe. Miss out on a lot.
If it makes u feel better u would have probably fucked up even after u made a move
Miss out on herpes, aids, and false rape accusations boohoo you incels are lucky no one wants you
How to perform oral on a woman properly. I'm ok with my digits, much easier, but I can tell they're just faking it when I chow down.
Gross, just think about how much man goo you Consooooooooome
Yes because women never wash out their vaginas.
I clean my toilet pretty often. Want to come over and lick it?

Read your quote retard, air line brand is stupid to follow staying within a group where your FF# can apply to isn't the same shit
Are you drunk or just bad at English? I have no idea what you just tried to say.
It's called flying by brand is stupid, example only flying Delta or RyanAir because they are %brand%.
Using whatever FF# or Loyalty # you have that multiple airlines share to bank points is not stupid.
Maybe learn to read or do you simply not know what FF programs are?
You sound like a college retard explaining why poor people have to be fat because they can only afford junk food
>always travel with a backup cell phone+sim
What are the rules for this? Carry on your person at all times, or leave it in the hotel?

>why yes I do hate socializing! How did you know?
living in hostels with a bunch of stinky retards is not socializing.
>Book hostel

>enjoy lounge as needed
>do fun shit
You know not every hostel is SEA LADS WEEKEND PARTY place right?
>book hostel
>its shitty and small and not significantly cheaper than real hotels
>lots of rooms dont even have fucking windows
you know how easy it is to get into hostel lounges? you dont need to be staying there.
>do no research on hostel
>book whatever
>f-fuck
You get out of it what you put into figuring if it's a good one. Stayed on the side of a mountain in Norway last month, had a perfect view of the bay and no other possible hotels around, still was half the price of the cheapest hotel for a private room/bathroom.
Have you tried actually looking at hostels?
>you know how easy it is to get into hostel lounges?
a fair bit of the ones I've stayed at are keycard access, so depends.
>a fair bit of the ones I've stayed at are keycard access
>thwarted by a keycard
lol
Yeah when it's up on the 4th floor and to get in, plus the elevator and room you need a key for all parts.
Proving the point still, sighsee doesn't know shit about hostels. Hostel to sighsee means "mat on a board in SEA with maybe a fan and 6 bunks to a room".
do you have any idea how many keycard access places I have been in? its not hard. literally just stand nearby and wait. or wait in the lobby (which usually is where the common area, kitchens, and laundry are so its not even suHispanicious or weird) and wait for a group of people coming in and follow them up. some rooftop ones are even accessible by fire escape.
or you could literally just befriend people there.
Okay, that's not generally something I care to deal with while on vacation. That's cool you have time to go creeping around hostels scoping them out to try and sneak in, some of us would seriously rather not be a weirdo. Generally on vacation I just like to be out and about, then chill in the common room with a few drinks. You do you, but still proving the point there, don't take advice from trv which has weirdo creepy people who sneak into hostel common rooms.
Yes you do, you retard. If there's one big thing that hostels aren't OK with, it's random outsiders coming and out. You'd know if you didn't spend your entire day trying to be bait people into replying to you. I can imagine your overweight, fat frame sitting in one some dark, smelly room and your disgusting greasy fingers typing out some kind of a retarded retort already.
>stop listening to advice from Europeans, it will save you a lot of time and headaches
Actually an excellent contribution. I don't know what it is but Europeans are deluded and wrong about everything everywhere.
>Things almost never go as planned
>It is exhausting
>You will have some delusions about destinations and be disappointed

Only quote i agree with the rest is gay emo shit, but yes if u travel while rich anything thay can go wrong can almost always be solved with money
I always read about the worst aspects of the place I'm visiting. It really lowers my expectations which makes me enjoy the trip more

Not that anon but I actually like Aussies over anglos, at the very least Aussies have a sense of humor more so than not at all. I'll take them any day over a euro or anglo to hang out with.
Australians are anglos, genius. Assuming you're American so are you.
>t never met either
No aussie would be caught dead bragging about being anglo
No anglo would be caught dead bragging about being just like aussies
It's simple really, aussies have a sense of humor and anglos have brain damage.
>t never met either
I'm Australian and all you're doing is once again demonstrating the absolute joke that is American public education.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglosphere
>The definition is usually taken to include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo
>In Australia, Anglo is used as part of the terms Anglo-Australian and Anglo-Celtic, which refer to the majority of Australians, who are of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish descent.
>In many parts of the United States, especially those with high Latino populations, "Anglo-American" is shortened to "Anglo" and applied to white Americans who are not of Latino origin and sometimes to those who are not of French origin
>In the Southwest United States, "Anglo", short for "Anglo American", is used as a synonym for non-Latino whites; that is European Americans (except people who speak Romance languages), most of whom speak the English language, even those who are not necessarily of English or British descent.
Anon you could have just said you're an abo and left it at that, only they would care about trying to gain status by being called "anglo".
>redditor complains about mods not deleting enough posts so the board gets spammed with people not talking about travel

Holy kek.
Outside of this website no one refers to themselves as an 'anglo' anon.
Wow you're angry
>who hurt you sweaty tier female feminist speech
stop that shit
i know this is a meme, but this is very true
i've no idea why, but almost all british girls look like this. fake tan, fake blond hair, overdone black eyebrows and they all hit the wall by the age of 20
my first shock coming to the uk was seeing all the fat women wearing crop tops when going to clubbing
they eat and drink like shit, look inbred and act either like turbosluts or feminist dykes. Some middle or upper class academic type girsl can be very hot, but they're an exception.
Was with an Argentina girl while I lived in UK and had mostly foreign girls flirt with me, can't say I ever really considered dating or bothering with a bong girl tbf
>>on average, very ignorant
English countries are the only places on earth anyone wants to live in, and that didn’t happen as a result of being ignorant. The only reason they are terrible to travel in is that they are expensive. A cheap hotel room anywhere in Canada will cost you half a months rent in most of Latin America.
White women broke your heart didnt they
I'm from a country in Europe with a higher % of blond, blue eyes people, also at least 5 places higher when it comes to average height for men and women. I'm currently dating an Italian. I think I'd go gay if I had to date Angloid women.
Just avoid anything and every anglo country or advice.

>knowledgeable about the world = listen to BBC sometimes
Worst is just how fucking OBSESSED they are with americans and anything american. Thought I was getting some of the ole banter treatment for a while but no, those fucks are just completely obsessed with the usa
Which angloid country were you humiliated in?
None, but I've lived in UK and Ireland. Dystopian islands filled with ugly architecture outside of few and select places, shit-tier food, idiotic, alcoholic people (not even that good at drinking; Scandis and Slavs easily outdrink whatever Deanos or muh norfmen) that all look alike. To be honest I've never been to US of A, but average American tends to be a retarded, annoying mouthbreather that speaks nasally and acts like the world is Disneyland, so I don't have high hopes for it. I'd like to visit for the outdoors, probably some small towns aren't half bad. I like Australians though. New Zealanders just seem weird and autistic, plus they say "egg" in a strange way.
Going to Albania tomorrow. Red pill me on it
>The MOST important decision is not where you go but who you go there with.
Don’t do it. You’ll be happier if you just stay in your hometown and maybe go to a state a few hours away by plane for a “crazy” adventure.
Exploring the planet will just alienate you from everyone and you will be miserable.
this tbh
Conversations with normies become unbearable and it'll be nearly impossible to find a mate.
that everywhere is the same
Stop doing so much of it when you turn 25, you're wasting your time, it won't be fun anymore and will all start to seem the same.
I'm 25 and I want to go to even more places than before.
are you sure you didn't just learn at 25 that you don't really like traveling?
have you ever traveled alone?
To start collecting for lifetime statuses early.
get away from parents who are ultra cheapos despite having money and constantly try to talk me out of doing literally anything enjoyable or that i wish to do in life
Better yet just never listen to any advice about travel your parents have.
pretty much. i love them but jesus they are the most money-tight basic bitch normalfag npc boomers about everything.
always buy the cheapest version of everything. why buy any food that i cant get for a dollar at the dollar store? cruise? we'll just go on cheap carnival cruises near our home in florida and do zero excursions, not go to bars, activities, events, etc. stop at nasa on the way home? hell no. go to vegas? lets stay at the days inn, see zero shows, do fuck all at all but go to the buffets and walk the streets and maybe put $20 in slot machines.
what you wanna go over and see the X while were in Y? its gonna cost like $50 and its a one in a lifetime opportunity? anon, i just dont know... really should save that money and dont know about the time...
growing up you dont think about it, but looking back at every step of my life they tried to stop me from doing literally anything and everything i ever wanted to fucking do. and we never had money problems.
yes personal rant blog but fuck
>don't blow all your money on stupid shit and you don't have money problems
Typical college retard you are for not figuring out why they aren't broke kosers like you will be
>no u r the retard anon
generic shitpost as old as time. epic ftw xD
Make enough money, save some, enjoy your life.
Why are you defending these cheap, joyless, boring fucks?
We all know the story of the granny who died at 80 with 1mil in bank, no thanks
This! its better to totally fuck up your life than listen to people who love you and know more than you
We are talking about travel you retard, the world of travel your parents grew up in is dead and gone. It could actually be debated that their advice could cause more harm than good when traveling, and has been for the past 2 decades or so.
Yes I am sure your Mom telling you to always stick to %national airliner% otherwise you'll be robbed and killed is sound advice, along with your dad telling you a firm handshake and looking them in the eye is the best way to get a solid hotel deal.
>and know more than you
I hate overly emoyional zoomers just as much as the next guy, but assuming a boomer will be really knowledgeable is totap retardation and shows you haven't actually listened to your parents advise. At most they will be knowledgeable about a world that doesnt exist anymore.
I literally start to wellup whenever I say goodbye to people forever, even if I end up disliking them.
The reason yall hate boomers is they are better than you in every way. Stronger, smarter, richer, more experienced, have touched females, nicer, not drug addicts, not coomers, own houses, know how to do stuff........etc etc ad nauseum
Yall spend your life here whining about daddy, go outside touch grass etc
Lmao at the state of this cope.
He's right tho
you get numb to heartbreak and love by the time youre late 20s or 30
Nah, still not numb to it. Every long trip I take I meet at least two gals I develop real feelings for only for them to be ripped apart as I board a plane/train/bus
Being a coomer is suffering
Idk

>You won't be able to go to Russia or China possibly ever again so stop being a fucking pussy and go now
>Dude when i was 19 it was like this, traveling after 18 is suffering
Look after your feet. Fucked up feet ruin a whole trip.
>why would someone ask you your age in the first place when you're out traveling?
Are you autistic? Not being mean, your other replies kind of imply you are. Finding out someone's age is often a normal part of a flowing conversation.
fair enough
>why would someone ask your age in the first place when you're out traveling?
Traveling there is a lot of time sitting around, walking around, etc. People ask you questions, want to know about you. I can't tell people I graduated high school 13 years ago, so that influences my whole lifes trajectory. I have to cut parts out and compress timeframes. This is why I say I am 25 instead of 22, I'm able to keep more truths in my story and cut out fewer experiences (work, travel, college experiences)
>And what benefit does lying get you?
Makes me less self conscious about being the weird older guy. Even if nobody thinks that, it makes me feel better. Also makes me feel better about just... getting older. I don't want to be 30 yet, I want to be 25. And I look young enough so why not just be 25
I should have visited chernobyl when I had the chance. It's never ever now
When Russia was already looming over Ukraine, I thought exactly that: I have to go to Chernobyl before a war happens there.
So I went this February, 2 weeks before the war started. I had a great time and I think my group was one of the last ones to visit before Russia invaded and they closed the site.
Imagine traveling all the way to some country just to sit around a hostel common room with a bunch of hippy retards on summer break from their gender studies degree.
Yeah that would be stupid. The common room of hostels is nice to chill for breakfast and maybe relax after a long day of being out to recharge your phone while having a beer though. It beats anything most hotels offer in terms of socializing, info of cool things around, kitchen, and laid back atmosphere.
I get why sighsee wouldn't like hostels since most people here can't fathom something outside of a party center or stereotypical dude bros and stacy's finding themselves. Though in general they can be a real benefit in terms of helping your budget out in order to extend your trips. I've found over the years of travel that hostel private rooms in the places hotels often would be are a far better value for the money.
Use whatever offers the best value and fits your needs, but how hostels get endlessly shit talked on sighsee is hilarious.
>The common room of hostels is nice to chill for breakfast
fucking retard lmfao
>This entire website is going to dogs because mods aren't banning nearly enough people

its all so tiresome.
ive been shitposting on sighsee since i was underage b& in 2009. and ive done it all without being a massive sperg who seethes about mods not banning people who dont share his opinions
>On this board you can recognise one or two posters with specific phrases, style of posting
this is just confirmation bias. you want to believe your opinions are more sound and legitimate and therefore this opinion must be held by the overwhelming majority of people. so whenever someone has a different opinion and responds in a particularly antagonistic way, you just dismiss it by picking out "specific phrases" or "posting style" that you feel you saw before.
seek psychiatric help and take the medicine they prescribe to you.
>due to lack of any meaningful moderation.
which posts in the reply chain you were referring to should be moderated? which of them break any rules? you want to moderate discussion based on nothing but what YOU think is a valid opinion. there is a place for this, and its called reddit.
>um hostels rae all bums threads XDDDDDDDDD" repeated two hundred times
seek psychiatric help and take the medicine they prescribe to you.
>verbatim posts
ok so go to the archive and find me a verbatim copy of literally any post in this thread.
It doesn't have to be something from this thread, Jesus you're stuck on arguing over something I'm not even saying. You might be autistic.
I've literally never had any of my posts deleted unless I was intentionally shot posting and breaking rules. Spamming the same shit is aggravating. You could say, yeah ignore it, but it's like having the street you live in get covered by bums who shit everywhere. Just ignore it, right?
Two factions exist: pro hostel and anti hostel. You are advocating for mods to ban all anti hostel posts because you think they're stupid and don't like they way they post, like they call you names or some shit. Boo hoo. I think you are stupid and the mods should ban you tbh
I have never once said I want anti-hostel posters banned, you might just be fucking retarded if you can't parse what I am saying.
No you just implied it. Youre mad that anons say hostel people are stinky NPCs which a lot of them fucking are. Get a grip.
I did not. I said I think slammers should be banned, as per rules. When you have one mentally ill retard posting, and five other retard jumping on board, it drowns good posters. And then you have newfags who think that this is the norm, and before you know it, you have an avalanche of retards sweeping everything away. Not too long ago some Australian guy went to Afghanistan. Without OPs posts it maybe got 30 replies. Meanwhile you can spam the same, atrocious low quality bullshit and easily generate hundreds of replies, furthering the retard slide. This is a travel board for the love of God
I think you would honestly feel a lot better on reddit. Seriously.
You're a retard that got told off and now you're grasping straws. Muh reddit as if I wanted to be surrounded by balding millennial gays. Thinking in severe dichotomies is an autistic trait, get it checked out.
Mate you are absolutely fucking boiling about "shitposters" because someone memed on your beloved hostels and now trying to act as if sighsee hasnt always been shitpost central. Seriously, go to reddit. They are a lot like you and you will be happier.
>balding millennial gays
ah right so you admit to being a zoomer who knows jack fucking shit about chan culture and obviously this post
where you claim youve been here since 2011 is a lie. have a nice day.
>You could say, yeah ignore it, but it's like having the street you live in get covered by bums who shit everywhere. Just ignore it, right?
No, it's like going to a street called the "street of SHIT" for almost 10 years, that has always advertised itself as a feces ridden alley and also as the only street where you can let your bowels loose as freely and publicly as if you were in New Delhi with the drawback being that other people can also shit. And while you may have healthy poops, others may have diarrhea, but again, that's how the game goes, and the guy in charge of cleaning the street can only do so if someone pukes, no matter what the quality, as it is not relevant to said shitting street street.
And you, you're the guy asking why we're having too much diarrhea in here.
>low quality posts
its impossible to consistently moderate something as subjective as this. 10 to 1 you would be positively boiling with rage if your comments started getting pruned because some janny thought they were low quality.
He's right though. Jannies never go overboard with the guidelines and the janitors we have on sighsee are probably never here due to it being the slowest board. Hostels are an aspect of travelling. If it isn't forbidden by the rules, it's all fair game. if literal whoremongering threads are up don't expect strong ignorant opinions about hostels to be heavily moderated.
The issue with sighsee isn't that it's "just that guy" doing the same shit over and over. It truly is different people using the same troll arguments. And this is a place where people just keep on feeding because while half the board are complete cunts, the other half actually tends to have some actual ground experience and thus get rightly pissed when someone has the most retarded of opinions while pretending they know shit. This board's strength (the fact that not everyone is a complete retard and a few are actually knowledgeable) is its greatest weakness. If something pisses you off, the worst thing you can do is pointing out publicly and thus letting the troll feel acknowledged. Report the fucker and move on. If he's still up, straight up ignore him. Happens every fucking time someone starts a thread on China/Taiwan, you're just BOUND to have some fucker larping as a pro CCP tankie or pro-taiwanese hawk thinking we fucking care.
Also, instead of you fuckers complaining, maybe fucking do something about it and fill a janny application next time.
>lack of moderation
Actually, and if you remember correctly, it was quite the contrary. This website went down the fucking drain during gamergate and the fake mod screenshots and whatnot. Why ? Because moot was clearly fed up at what was happening and started directly moderating every fucking post. And what happened after that ? People started freaking out thinking the moderators want to silence some horrible truth.
Just look at what happened the other week when that janny finally fucking lost it and started deleting OP images. How did people react ? By breaking the rules and making a meta-thread. Chances are, our posts will be deleted too for this exact reason, and you'll freak out because you think you're getting silenced when really, it's just jannies doing their job and removing meta-board commentary.
A lack of moderation is a good thing, so long as they still handle the spammy bits, but on the other hand sighsee evidently doesn't have many janitors for as long as I've been here. Unsurprisingly so, since this board is so fucking slow and unpopular compared to the others.
Another element is that you fucking grew up and took up all the useful info you needed, and now shit is just boring and repetitive.
chanculture is based on repetitions, copypasta, or at the very least copying the same talking points over and over to troll people. Remember how /b/ used to have a thread about tipping every other week? The same points were brought up over and over again, but that wasn't because it's the same schizo having the same argument with his split personality over and over again, it's just that people bring up the same shit. Also, to top it all off, sighsee is a slow board, there are threads from as old as a month ago. So maybe people are just repeating what they said or saw in the last thread... a month ago.
>What did you wish you knew before you started traveling often?
You can substitute everything except one-two fine mosquito nets and a sleeping bag.
Even Albania is better than the anglosphere, much better

Shut the fuck up already.
you need to calm down autismo
lol ok dude. Carry on seething and making meta threads every other day about how mods should ban anyone you don't like.
Grim state of affairs this thread.
I'm 99% sure the guy replying to everyone is just pretending to be mad to troll the people trolling him.
There’s no point anymore. It’s not sighsee that has gone to the shitter. It’s the whole internet, the whole of it. Youtube, social media, Discord, streaming services etc. All of these are fucking shit and contributed to this shit.
It slowly went downhill since 2015 but the internet as a whole, which includes even the most mundane shit, became shit when the pandemic started. It’s like an eternal summer, it just won’t stop.
I used to check youtube daily for small videos, and now it’s always filled by the same shit seen by everybody, no matter how hard I try to hide/block. I stopped going on Youtube in 2021, after 15 years of daily visits.
And that obviously affects sighsee. I never got banned since 2007 and I just got banned last month for saying a “bad politically incorrect word” in a long informative post; it wasn’t even the main topic of the post. Incredible.
Anyway, I’ll keep on contributing on here as I consider traveling and going to new places my life. It’s not quite good but still better than elsewhere.
hear that
most of the old timers got old and moved on
You should go back.
you dont even realize how pathetic you sound
Just because someone makes a thread asking about hostels doesn't mean your anti-hostel unsolicited opinion is welcome. They wanted to talk about something, not be told why it's wrong and bad.
If you can't tell the difference between discussion and attacking then you should leave.
>act like a total sperg
>get BTFO by the very jannies you are trying to summon to ban everyone you dont like
kek, KWAB even
Coke is currency anywhere. Travel with a few grams and doors open.

This thread sucks
Are there any here that don't?
Should have learned a language where I'd actually want to marry a girl from the culture.
Speaking Chinese was good for a degenerate lifestyle but I don't want to spawn a litter of people like Eliot Rodger and that "arty" girl in New York.
Half Asian kids are literal scum
