Made a few mil off crypto recently and left my dead end job. Mid-20's, little family to speak of, and only a few friends dispersed across various U.S. cities. World is my oyster, but the prospect of absolute freedom is daunting.Was thinking of heading to Latin America because it seems more open to foreigners integrating and living there semi long-term (compared to SEA/Asia). Trying to avoid running into a bunch of America boomers (like Costa Rica) or 'passport bros' in DR/Colombia. But still want somewhere comfy to NEET, lift weights, learn the local language etc. Thinking maybe Brazil? Portuguese means higher barrier to entry, plus it's further from U.S./Canada. Any other ideas? Where would you go /trv/?
>>2651085I'm in the same position as you (but about half as much in crypto). Moving to semi retirement next year. Currently work a high paid job in Asia that allows me to work on rotation next year.>Duolingo for SpanishYou need to download Pimsleur. I wasted too much time on Duolingo before finding Pimsleur. Shit is amazing in comparison. Thank me later
>>2645167Portugal. Incredibly easy to move to with a passive income stream, with a clear and simple path to citizenship in 5 years.

I'm planning to relocate from Bongistan to Germany in the next couple of years, but I'm struggling to pick a city. Why? Because the national autism culture of ze Germans is very comfortable and welcoming to me, the quality of food and life in general seems better, and the UK needs to be nuked off the face of the earth.My situation:>already have remote job with German employer who can provide my visa>speak fluent German>64k GBP salary (but I will get paid in yuro should I move)>50k in savings >don't want to live in a region with a visible neo nazi problem >also don't want to get bent over and assfucked for rentThe cities I like the most from previous travel are Cologne, Dresden and Leipzig, Berlin is okay and I have some friends there but I hear the rent market is nightmarish. What's a humble teutaboo to do?Also, do people buy houses in Germany? I hear it's a rent culture, but I really need to invest some of that 50k somewhere and I'm absolutely not buying property on this shithole island.
Just one word of advice, OP:>DON'T DO IT.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/airlines-give-automatic-refunds-canceled-flights-delayed-3/story?id=109573733New airline rules in america>Good news for airline travelers: the Department of Transportation on Wednesday announced it is rolling out new rules that will require airlines to automatically give cash refunds to passengers for canceled and significantly delayed flights.>Airlines can now decide how long a delay must be before a refund is issued -- however, these new rules define "significant" delay standards that trigger refunds. The delays covered would be more than three hours for domestic flights and more than six hours for international flights, the agency said.>This includes tickets purchased directly from airlines, travel agents and third-party sites such as Expedia and Travelocity.>The DOT rules lay out that passengers will be "entitled to a refund if their flight is canceled or significantly changed, and they do not accept alternative transportation or travel credits offered.">DOT will also require airlines to give cash refunds if your bags are lost and not delivered within 12 hours.
>>2650004Had this in Europe for a long time. They will always blame weather or the airport and fight at every stage to prevent compensation. Then if you do win it, they ignore demands to pay up.Lots of reports of people having to send baliffs round to get their money (then a few finding they only have a virtual office with no assets to seize)
>>2650011When you fly with Ryanair, Easyjet, or another lowcost company, maybe, because they are scum.However it happened to me a few times with Air France/KLM and the process was always smooth. Got my night and two meals paid for, plus 250€ by passenger three days later.
>>2650011In such cases you just take it to a lawyer company that specializes in these. You give them your case, and they do everything for you. It costs nothing for you if they lose, if they win they get a cut of the compensation claim.
>>2650011I would just dispute the charge on my credit card.
>>2650004All this means is prices will increase to offset their losses. yay

>>2650462I'm shocked that Canada has any weapons at all.
>>2650465Don’t be naive, anon. Every country with nuclear reactors makes nuclear weapons. Some just secretly comply with TPTB and don’t get harassed. Israel and Japan are nations with not-so-secret nuclear weapons that are “secret” with a wink and a nudge.
>>2650462>Anon, don’t go there. That’s where Canada tester her nuclear weapons.[citation needed]
>>2650451Well there's Iqaluit which is the capital of Nunavut.
>>2650451Some native will eat you and it'll never be reported.
I am considering moving to the UK, but whenever I hear anything about the UK from UK citizens in Canada is that Canada is so much better, Canada is great, the UK is horrible etc. Most British say they are much happier in Canada, the standard of living is much better, higher quality of life, the people are nicer etc. Online, the UK seems to be a standard for everything a bad country is. Instead of "at least we're not Mississippi" the expression is "at least we're not the UK". Is the UK really that bad of a country?
>>2650947I'm from the UK and I've lived in numerous countries. Honestly, the UK is a fucking shithole in comparison. >0 trust society>0 respect for knowledge of education>0 respect for anything >Massively unsafe in cities>Way too expensive for what it is>Shit weather>"Geezer", "lad", "banter" culture which is D-tier culture>Old, moldy houses>Run down town centres>Crackheads and junkies wondering around at midday>Ugly towns,etc, etc
>>2650615Why is it always British people in Japan
>>2650572Probably will go to the UK because just because of the dual citizenship. Canada sucks and I can't think of anywhere to move out of BC, not learning 17th century French to move to some small town in Quebec or Winnipeg. Canada being an /out/ destination means you live in BC, which contains a horrible drug-addled society and low wages, even affording a car here is ridiculous with the ridiculous cost of insurance and gas.Asian countries are much better but I can't just rip a visa out of my ass on command.
The UK is an absolute festering shithole, but if you're determined to come here, stay the fuck away from London and Birmingham. Manchester and Newcastle are pretty friendly and soulful, there's lots of good food, music and things to do, plus both have a very walkable city centre. Newcastle is a quick train to Scotland and Manchester is a quick train to Wales if you want to get /out/.
>>2647916If you stay in Canada try Victoria or Halifax or just get a working holiday visa to NZ or Australia or I guess UK too.

>All these theme park autists missing the more important pointSchedule's insane, you're doing too much in too short of a timeframe
>>2650897I have lived in the US my whole life, there is no way you will be able to cram all that in 3 weeks, I would just pick New York, DC & Boston, stay on the east coast and take the train between them or drive, you will get plenty of culture, museums, food and anything else. Crisscrossing the whole US in 3 weeks would be a nightmare and also not really worth it.
I say if you want to visit both Disney locations let’s do it!
>>2650897Skip miami, disney world, and disney land, and cut down your time in Vegas. Then I’d say you’re looking fairly solid.
Haven't seen a Mexico thread in a while.I will be doing a trip through usa in the summer and after that I am thinking of heading to mexico for 2 weeks (it would be my first time in mexico). I was looking at Mexico city and its surroundings, but I am wondering if 2 weeks is too long. Also, how is the safety around there (dont really care about being robbed, not a fan of more violent crime aka kidnappings).
>>2645677In 2021 I've visited Polanco - one of the most expensive district in the world - and it was fine.Too many globohomo stuff in my taste tho.I've met a couple of aussies who told me they were extorted by local corrupt policemen (take passports and force tourists to withdraw 100$). So despite being a weathy area you can get troubles.Always take prints of your passport with you, if they take your passport by force and refuse to give it back, tell them they'll have to proceed further with the anti-corruption office and your country's diplomatic services.
>>2648669You shouldn't carry your passport on the street in Mexico. Only federal officials are allowed to enforce immigration law, and this usually occurs at highway checkpoints. Drunk foreigners are often targeted by criminal cops when stumbling around in the street late at night. I've had it happen once to me around 2:30 AM in Tuxtepec, but I told the cops preemptively which hotel I was heading back to, and they said "good night" and left me alone. Driving in Mexico, you are far more likely to experience petty shakedowns than you are when traveling without a car.Drunkenly threatening thuggish, corrupt cops with exposure is not a course of action I would ever recommend. Your body may never be found.
I got mugged at Mexico City at knife point. Also had to give money to cops because they said they would take me to jail (I was drunk).My friends say Mexico city is one of the safest places in Mexico, the federal gov puts a lot of money in it and have deals with the cartels.
There are many beautiful places in Mexico but there is disproportionately more wasteland-like rubble. Also, the poorest plumbing I've ever experienced.
Diarrhea for 2 days. Couldn't enjoy much
Do you let others or things annoy you when travelling?Or do you just ignore it.If not, post examples1. Americans asking questions in a museum (it will be a moronically stupid child level question of ignorance).2. French/Dutch accent is heard nearby3. Queue skipping
>>2644997>People who treat meme rules like "middle seat gets 2 armrests as gospel and kick off about it>People who complain about tipping. Pay your way in the world ffs.>Passive aggressive folk who tut or complain when I have to get up early in a hostel. Get a hotel if you're a light sleeper.>People who walk in the way when I'm taking a really good photo and ruin the moment.>People who want to 'get off the beaten track'. Just leave the locals alone, ffs. The best sites are touristy for a reason.>Hostels which are 100% full of Europeans. You know there's going to be some disrespect or snobbishness going on.

>>2648377Actually there are 350 million Americans and fewer than 100 million have a passport

Is this a safe country to travel to? How are tourists treated by the American people? What states do you recommend avoiding if any?
>>2639273>>2644034NYC is the safest large city on the continent, having a lower homicide rate compared to half the rural states in the country, despite the constantly-growing black population. Most people who spent their life in a city have never had a gun pulled on themEven the cities you listed have crime rates that vary heavily by neighborhood. It sounds like you haven't been to any
>>2644238It's as safe as any Euro city, Manhattan and times square are pretty much a theme park for tourists at this pointhttps://nyc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=8153f961507040de8dbf9a53145f18c490% of my time in NYC has been in midtown and I've never seen any crime
>>2641765to be fair most of those doomsaying posts are written by dudes that have never left their tri-county area
>>2651090Sure there are rural farm towns without a single crotch-grabbing pavement ape. However, most population centers are overrun with shiftless, gum sucking rape-apes on the prowl for victims to rob and violate
>>2651199I don't really care how you feel about black people, but for the love of Jesus, please stop being so bitchmade. It's for your own sake.
