I'm American and I've been in Thailand for almost a year. I have a pretty serious girlfriend now who I live with (no she's not a hooker, bar girl, ladyboy, stripper, masseuse, karaoke hostess etc). For some reason I feel guilty staying here while all my friends and family are back in the states. Everything in Bangkok is so easy. The weather is nice (I don't like cold weather), its super cheap, its easy to get laid, it's fun, people are chill... meanwhile where I'm from (California) is infested with niggers, insanely over priced, cold as fuck in the winter (norcal), depressing and also way harder to get laid plus I'd be living with my parents cause its all I can afford. Why do I feel so weird considering that I might never go back home? What's wrong with me? Why do I feel guilty about staying here?

Spent a year and a half in the Philippines... unemployed, just lounging around.
Lifes all about balance . 30's is to young to just say "fuck it". I went back to work, not because of money, but just because I saw dudes slightly older then me go down the rabbit hole of alcoholism, drug addiction etc....to much idle time is the devils playground.

Planning my first solo trip to Thailand for 2 weeks, I'm in search of a backpack or luggage, What do you guys recommend, backpack or luggage? I've googled around and people seem to be recommending pic related, the Osprey Farpoint 40l backpack.
>>2475217 Erm, no but yes. I have the Sea to Summit Nano shopping bag but I think they're basically the same - ultrathin ripstop nylon etc.
The Indiegogo Nanobag looks sturdier and has nicer aesthetics and comes in more sizes though, so I'd give that one a try if it was available to me locally.
It's held up well. It's like a more durable alternative to a plastic bag that neatly fits in your pocket. Haven't had any punctures or rips yet but haven't put any sharp objects in it either - the sharpest thing is probably a milk carton and the most weight I carried is a few kilos (it's supposedly good for 20, 30 kgs plus or whatever, which is more than you'll ever realistically carry in this type of bag).
It's perfect when you're roaming around the city and need to buy some water or snacks clothes or stuff and want something more substantial than a plastic bag but don't feel like carrying around a daypack. I highly recommend it, especially if you're doing one bag carry-on travel.
Sea to Summit also make backpack rain covers and ponchos from the material.
Quoted By:
>>2475047 I never spent more than $50 on a backpack and never had any issues.
Can you convince me to buy something over $200?

Quoted By:
>>2475000 I have a 30L normal sized backpack with 4 shirts, 2 shorts and a pair of pants. I also have my toiletries, a water bottle and a laptop with charger. Tell me why the fuck I would ever bring a suitcase to an adventure based trip. I go to Mexico to Cabo every year. I’m always bringing my suitcase. I’m in SEA for 8 months and am moving from city to city weekly by moped and you’re telling me to bring a fucking suitcase? Fuck off. I like to see the world rather than fly over it. I like the freedom of carrying my life in 7 pounds on my back. If you’re relaxing at the beach in your resort the suitcase makes 100% sense. I’m a 22 year old who moves every week, how in any world is a suitcase more effective than a backpack considering I don’t need the extra space, weighs more, is harder to move around (I can literally go anywhere at anytime meaning I hop off my moped to check out a statue on a huge hill and don’t give a fuck), and is also just bulky in general. So the TLDR is: as a young male traveling a continent/region by moped with less than 10 pounds of shit, why on earth would I or how COULD I use a suitcase? Especially staying in shitty hostels where my suitcase can’t even fit in a locker.

Does anyone here have experience with birthright israel?
>>2475832 Criteria:
>must complete high school >must be between ages 18 - 26 >have not lived in israel since age 12 or traveled to israel then
>proof of judaism 2 ways:
1. jewish parent; will have to show document certifying they are jewish:
>ketubah marriage certificate >bar mitzvah certificate >proof of jewish relative buried in jewish cemetery >parent's membership in synagogue, jewish organizations or
2. conversion process through a recognized rabbi
>you need letter of recommendation from a recognized rabbi >original letter signed by rabbi himself on the synagogue's official letterhead >rabbi must have personal familiarity with applicant >usually for student age jews, they get this from the rabbi at their local Hillel (jewish university campus organization) >there is no public list of rabbis >rabbi must not be on blacklist by israeli ministry of interior >presumably an orthodox rabbi would be more reliable than a female reformed rabbi kek >messianic jews are not considered jews by israel (messianic jews are jews who believe in jesus as the messiah) mind you, this is already hard for jewish diaspora and a lot of israeli citizens aren't even able to prove they are jewish based on this criteria. you are also not the first person to come up with this, and they do consider it theft if you try to fake judaism. i wouldn't mess with them jewish lawyers kek.
also, for the summer of 2023, there were 32,000 applicants for only 12,000 spots.
this has nothing to do with first come, first serve, but rather group interviews at a Hillel in which you are quizzed on your connection to judaism and what you want to get out of the program. it also helps to have connections.
>>2475832 >>2476317 Checked the /pol/ archives. A turbo autist bong went all the way with it. It was a lot of work and took him years but he got way more than what the OP lists. He got to be recognized as an Orthodox convert so he got a house, avoided conscription, will live on benefits forever (he was honest about his autism) and was even offered a wife by the Orthodox community
It was hilarious that he claiming it was just a bit for the free gibs but he had to change his entire life and was defending Israel.. at what point are you larping about being a convert and converting for real?

Because I didn't want to go, I put literally zero effort into making it happen besides going on the website and filling out a form. At no point was I quizzed on anything, that's either bullshit or new.
Trip itself was mixed bag to miserable. Guided the whole way through, so expect scheduling, lack of freedom and shared accommodations. Food was fucking horrible at every stage, basically salad bars and finger sandwiches at the hotels. Had to sit through multiple slideshow lectures at the hotel about Israeli history, why they need to discriminate against Palestinians, etc etc. Mandatory trips to the Holocaust museum, the cemetery, the synagogue and the diversity and tolerance wall.
The cool parts:
>Saw the dead sea and a nearby oasis >Saw a middle eastern market >Saw the old town of Jerusalem and its covered walkways >Saw a Roman ruin >Saw the Bedouins and slept in a tent >Saw olive and grape farms and got local olive oil/wine Told the tour guide that I hated Israel and refused to be photographed at the end. She cried.

>Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
Quoted By:
>>2475891 I watched his shows growing up. I fully credit him for being interested in traveling as an adult. All these people here bashing the guy are confirmed Jew Binsky subscribers on YouTube.
Okay, in retrospect after watching more episodes, he spends more time talking politics with expats than showing the destinations or local food.
Quoted By:

>>2476526 part of it is the host, but part of it is CNN production - one of the replacement shows was Stanley Tucci's Italy whatever the real name is - he shows great food of whatever region, but in the milan+lakes episode, he is at the house of a lega nord guy (anti immigration, anti southerner party) and he tries pressing him on the issue too. the show becomes up its own butt too much even the nonpolitical aspects, but it is beautiful and shows great regional foods
Quoted By:
>>2475891 He likely had a reservation to Little St. James at one point let’s be real. But assuming he didn’t I have fond memories of watching this show with my dad. He comes off as both likable and a bougie cunt at the same time. Assuming he wasn’t some pizzagate mossad type and was just the depressed shitlib of his official story, I think he’s a cautionary tale of trying too hard to be cool at too old of an age and also of simping. They’re both tied up with each other and symptoms of our effeminate sterile society.

I have a plane ticket to Podgorica, a plane ticket from Belgrade and two weeks to get between the two.
Quoted By:
>>2476465 Buses are fine, after all it's the only way to move around after the railway network of Yugoslavia fell apart
>>2476465 public transit is awful in the balkans, if there's any place where I would suggest renting a car that would be it.
and even then roads can get very congested during rush hour.
international bus rides are normal - you just stop at the border for passport check and then move on
I would suggest taking the Bar to Belgrade train, i don't think you can find tickets online bc montenegro is 50 years behind but it's one of those "famous" train rides
>>2476517 I see, that train sounds interesting. How are the prices? And do you have to ride all the way from Bar to Belgrade or can you jump on along the way? I would like to visit Kosovo during this trip, and the train doesn't go through there
Quoted By:
>>2476583 Prices are reasonable and you can get on at any stop between Belgrade and Bar.
However random shit breaks down, or long inexplicable waits occur adding 4+ hours to the ride. It's best just taking a bus from either Budva or Podgorica.
I'm not sure about visiting south western Serbia. I'd avoid it while it's temporarily occupied under UN interim administration

>>2476475 So is Manhattan/Hermosa/Redondo beach, those are nice places.
I'll also add don't stay in Inglewood or anywhere east of 405 except maybe Culver City.
Santa Monica would be more fun. Manhattan Beach would be more convenient because it's closer to the airport and also nice. It's not as exciting as Santa Monica though.

What do you do for work? What jobs are there that both pay you enough and give you enough flexibility and time off to travel?
Quoted By:
>>2475201 Plus once you get a bachelors you can usually teach even if its just ESL and once you get a masters you can teach more advanced college courses which pays a better than just being a lab assistant or whatever. Some companies pay for you to get a bachelors (Starbucks is one) and some tech companies pay for you to get advanced degrees.

>>2470566 i make video games, got 3 games on steam and a4th on the way. I can be anywhere to make them, so i just travel and shit
>>2470566 Currently I work on tugboats in the Gulf of Mexico on a 28 day on and off schedule. The work is simple and easy, stress free, but yet the pay is still nice. Currently my day rate is $415. They also pay for my travel expenses to and from the ship. The food is free. I don't pay rent. Everything I make goes to traveling on my month off.
It actually ends up being cheaper for me to travel than to live in the US. If I had an apartment, I would be forced to pay the rent even when I'm out on the water for a month. We all know how expensive rent is in America. I'm looking at $2000 over the course of 2 months at the very least. Whereas in South East Asia a beautiful condo cost me $500 for my month off.
Eventually when I upgrade my license to a mate, my day rate will be in the $600 range. At that point I'll hang up the tugboats and go work on larger vessels on a per contracts basis. This way I would only need to work a 3 month contract and be done for the year. I don't need more money than that.

>>2476544 >in South East Asia a beautiful condo cost me $500 for my month off. yea but don't the flights from houston kr wherever run that up quite a bit?

I'm a nurse, I work three days a week making 40/hr. During my CPR class I spoke to a traveling hospice nurse that was making close to 2k a week. She also told me that she only works 6 months out of the year and spends the rest of her time traveling. Something I need to look into.
