I'm a college student who was just awarded a scholarship for study abroad. The problem is I'm not entirely sure where to go! I've traveled all around the US and what I like the most are places with a good night life, historical areas and events and small businesses and restaurants owned by the average joe. I'm split between Madrid, Seoul and Osaka Japan. What do you guys recommend? Any other tips and suggested are appreciated!
The Netherlands
Everyone speaks English, nice cozy country, people are friendly enough, good nightlife, easy to go for a citytrip somewhere else during the weekend.
Sounds like a good idea! I'm going to see if my school offers it.
Dont go there too many Black folk and sandBlack folk
Netherlands can get boring easily, I traveled half the country and every city looked the same, but it is good for a weekend.
I'd suggest Peru, you can find multiple biomes in just one travel, there are plenty of archeological sites and places to hike and explore.
Excellent advice.
Amsterdam was my first and Lima my 3rd.
Amsterdam is a great tutorial mode for travel as yeah everyone speaks english, huge backpacking scene but very safe and western.
Peru has everything you want in it. If you're indecisive about desert, jungle, cooming, beach, world wonders or food Peru has 10/10 in all of those. It's just also going to be more of a shit show than going some cushy western country like NL
Yeah, but if OP is sedentary and fat, Peru wouldn't be a good idea because he will need to do a lot of exercises otherwise he may die due the altitude.
Peru is also not a good place to coom, locals are very ugly and not very open as the rest of latin America, you may find some ppl at hostels but you can't coom in a room wish 8 shared beds.
Ah, and another good thing about Peru: You won't find stinky pajeets and chinks hosted there, unlike Amsterdam. If you share a hostel with poos you wasted your opportunity to make friends to explore the city.
I'm in shape and often hike. Only problem is Peru is not offered in my school. Only South American places are Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. All of the EU, Australia and some of Asia/SEA are available
If you're not particularly interested in Asian culture, I highly recommend Madrid or Barcelona. The language is easy enough to be conversationally fluent in a semester if you make an effort and aren't moronic. Young people will generally have good English, and the nightlife and food scenes are top-notch.
Thanks for the response. I studied Spanish in High School to the highest level so can somewhat speak it. Will definitely spend a year studying the language beforeI go. What places do you recommend?
Also Spanish universities are full of young bawds from all over Europe on Erasmus, it should be easy to cross off many European countries off your coom list if you aren't hopeless
Wherever I am I must also coom. To nut across the world is my destiny.
Seoul by far. Madrid and Osaka just doesn't have the night life, and Madrid doesn't have that many small businesses and restaurants.
What the frick are you talking about? Madrid and Barcelona have a great nightlife (Barcelona especially). Euro women in study abroad programs are especially easy because Erasmus is a party semester with easy classes and people have nothing to do other than hang out and get drunk. Spain also has a reputation as a European party destination. Every woman who's chosen it is has gotten the memo.
Less time studying = more time spent fellating you.
Party destination? Damn I'm hooked.
Any spots in Madrid you recommend?
Would I be filtered as a 5'8 manlet in Spain?
No, you wouldn't. Plenty of manlets walking the streets with cute, leggy girls. Average male height there is about 5'8.
Most Spanish men are manlets. You'll be fine if you're White.
>Seoul by far. Madrid and Osaka just doesn't have the night life, and Madrid doesn't have that many small businesses and restaurants.
Femcel detected. I bet you love Seoul because those stupid kdramas have you convinced Korean men are sooo much more romantic than Western guys. But they hate feminists more than anyone, make no mistake. They're smart enough to hide it until they've gotten in your pants. American boys are at least honest about how they feel. Men are the same everywhere.
Where in Seoul do you recommend?
I’ve been travelling all over the world and no where have I met more unsatisfied Whities living than in Seoul. It really just doesn’t strike me as an enjoyable place to spend months or years
Where do you suggest?
Take advantage of the weakness of the yen. However, it is an important reminder that July and August is Japan's hottest months.
I would be going in 2024. What would you recommend in Osaka?
Athens.
It doenst matter what good advice anyone gives - OP is clearly a weeb homosexual and is just going to choose Animeland anyways
No I'm not. Now give advice coon
OK so I've boiled it down to Madrid and Seoul. What do yall recommend? What are some of the best places to visit in each?
Kys vistor from Reddit
Is this reddit in the room with us? Honestly what makes my post like reddit troon?
>OP ending his post in an exclamation mark
Fricking homosexual. Imagine trying to be expressive on a Cambodian basket weaving forum where everyone hates you. This place isn’t a hugbox, and cringe normie weebs that want to move to Le Epic Japan can just shit up the general
Never said I wanted to move there tho. If you weren't an ESL nigher you would see I'm favoring Seoul and Madrid you absolute Mongloid. Why even go on travel if you aren't looking for advice? You are contributing to nothing but thanks for the bump
Yeah favoring Seoul because you’re just another yellow fever gay who thinks being white will automatically score him half plastic bimbos in the most valid country on the planet
*vapid
Again you conveniently ignore that I said Madrid. What's your problem?
Shut up weeb homosexual, posting some gay ass samurai shit for your original post. Let’s also forget you’re not on an American website designed to mimic Japanese image boards. Rope yourself
You fricking hypocrite. With your logic you shouldn't be on this anime website. You amount to nothing and no one loves you
Don't bother responding to him. He's from r/azninsecurity. He's just upset he's not White.
Hello OP. Trying to make yourself look cool? You’re not white either
OK pahjeet
>no time stamp or throws in backdrop
lmao, desperate are we?
>"heh you won't get laid in Korea because you're White, the women would never betray!"
>"Those prostitutes are so vapid!"
The mind of a mentally ill asian
Unless I was Korean or Japanese, in which case I might want to visit Seoul or Osaka just to see what it was like, I would go to Madrid. Madrid will have a lot more to offer and would serve as a good base to explore most of Europe and the Mediterranean if you really wanted to. You could conceivably see an entire continent.
Never thought about that. What other European countries should I visit than?
Madrid 100% Anywhere in Spain, for that matter
How possible would it be to spend time in Rome while I'm there?
>Madrid, Seoul, Osaka
we got a really cultured world traveler here folks. those are definitely 3 of the most underrated cities of all time, and no one has heard of them. they also aren’t googleable
Never left the states. Just wanted to know which was better of the 3 butthole.
>never left the states
lul. you can still find other places besides 3 basic ass megacities. leave it to amerimutts to think theres nothing to the world besides the US, west europe, and muh east asia (korea + japan)
I live in the rural south. Just wanted to see some cities since I'm not a fan of New York.
I don't see you giving any examples.
I travel quite frequently to your mom’s house, gay. There’s your example

so ur mom is getting her asswhole wrecked by a Black? dam bro u inherit the cuck gene from ya dad?
stop being a homosexual please
Holy frick OP is a sperg getting defensive over slight banter even if anons are making good points. I was gonna suggest Madrid but I hope you stay rotting in your parents’ basement instead
The amount of developmentally stunted tards in here...
Madrid has good proximity to other countries easy to access, but the nightlife in Europe is kind of dull because it's mainly go out with your family or close friend group, and you won't have anyone
Seoul is the winner in nightlife, you can easily socialize and meet people, mostly other foreigns because Koreans stick to themselves, but the party never ends there and it's great
Osaka has lively nightlife but it's not as great as Seoul, however it's very culturally interesting, more than the rest and can offer some unique experiences that cater to foreigners and enhanced with Japanese knowledge, while the others don't really care for foreigners at all, you are also a plan ride away from any other country both here and Seoul, more isolating
So these are the choices. But based off of my own experiences and research you might consider these options
Prague
Almaty
Warsaw
Berlin
Dublin
Shanghai
Istanbul
Bangkok
Rio de Janeiro
Buenos Aires
>stunted tards
It started with OP
Thanks I'm going to look into all of those. I've also been looking into Indonesia, Australia and Taiwan
>Almaty
have a nice day. You should be gatekeeping or it won’t be enjoyable anymore. Everything else on your list is ruined and we don’t need places that are usually off the radar of normalgays joining the rest
Sorry that's actually a good point. But think about it, nobody is ever going to go to that country unless they are really off the beaten path type people and they will rarely stay there. It's not something to worry about
I would say Istanbul, tons of things to do around there and you have Europe and Asia at at most 10 hour flights away
>babys first trip abroad
Spain or Italy. You cannot frick it up by choosing either of these two spots.
>Spain
Madrid as a capital city is meh, I genuinely don't find it that interesting, but you can head to Barcelona from there for a more party atmosphere and you can also head down to Sevilla and Andalucia for some real kino stops. If it's a semester abroad, you can also take flights in europe for as cheap as like $40. My cousin is actually doing this now studying in Salamanca, him and his friends split an airbnb and go to a new country every single weekend.
>Italy
You cannot go wrong with the basic b***h trip of Rome > Florence > Venice, it's filled with the wonders of the old world and really whets the appetite for international travel. Food is highly accessible, the amount of things to see and do are unrivaled, and many of the greatest wonders of the world can only be found here.
>Seoul
It's a megacity and that's about it. Fun drinking culture, many young people speak english to a decent degree, lots of great clubs. It's nice but it doesn't really offer a lot besides city living on steroids. The perk is the train will take you anywhere in the country but the downside is that most megacities are the same and lack variety. Also, no google maps in the country so first time travelers can get kinda screwed with directions when in the country itself.
>Osaka
It's great, but the nightlife won't be as hot as the rest of the options. Japan is also the least tourist friendly of all these places, especially when it comes to the train system (zero english at kiosks and stops/terminals). Despite this, if you can manage it will be the best trip possible in terms of cultural depth.
Spain definitely seems the most likely for me. Would love to go tonitaly while studying. Thanks for the info anon
While not kino financial advice, you may really want to look into getting several thousands ($4-8k) in student loans to exclusively finance tourism while you do your semester or year abroad. The fact is that you'll be able to make that buck have a lot more bang when you're already in Spain and can move from country to country every single weekend as opposed to later when you have time restrictions from work and the excessive cost of flights and accomodations compared to what you'll have now.
Being able to consistently pay $250-400 a weekend to visit a new spot in europe consistently is far more valuable than having to spend $2,000 for a week coming there from america. If you decide you dont like the travel aspect you can always just return the unused money, but if you decide you really want to make the most of it then it's better to have that money on hand so you can fully take advantage of the unironically best opportunity you'll ever have in your life to travel this freely.
>Where to go for my first international trip
Japan
shut le fug up
Out of curiosity, are you at a T20 school?
Yes, Duke
Explains the haughty attitude,
Alright I'm probably going to go to Madrid. Still debating Seoul and Australia due to cheaper prices but thanks anons
