Dome Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I need to get out to the East coast. Been to Florida twice and that’s it over there. I’m not very well travelled, been to Honduras 3 different times and spent over a month there. Would love to get back if it ever becomes the not most dangerous place in the world again. Also been to Hawaii, but I can’t say much about it that people don’t already know. It’s a really beautiful and unique place. Been all over the Western US and that’s about it Also was all over British Columbia as a kid visiting relatives. Not much to speak of, Vancouver is cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titansNvolsR#1 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'm at 40 countries in the last 5 years. Will eventually get to South America and Central America. My wife wants to do an Antarctica trip, but I told her only if we take a job in Saudi next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taught in international schools the last 5 years. Travel is incredibly cheap in SE Asia, especially once you aren't paying for a flight out of the US.

You can still find fairly secluded areas if you walk around a bit, though. Our tourguide was clutch. He took us in the back way [Starting behind Angkor Watt] for two reason, 1) Avoid Tourists 2) Sun behind us = better pictures. Dude was a boss. Also the guy was keen on helping us avoid the large groups of Chinese mega-groups. Siem Reap is an awesome place for foreigners. They just understand how-to tourism there. Coming from living in Vietnam, Siem Reap seems ridiculously expensive though. Had a blast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second. Did a Beijing => X'ian trip. Hands down the most fun [besides Osaka] I have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm biased as I live here and have done so for the past 6 years ha. However, China is almost unrivalled in the range and variety of things you can do. It's places such as Guilin and Yunnan that make it so great to travel, imo. It's relatively cheap too. Especially in comparison to Europe, North America and Japan.

The big cities are very accessible even for people who don't speak any Chinese. Tourist hotspots are the same. It's only the more far flung places which are more of a challenge. Even then, it's not harder than any other the other East Asian countries where English isn't predominantly spoken. China has become much more multi lingual in the past few years too and that's only going to continue in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
