Travel and Exploration

How much of the world have you discovered Sup Forums?

>mfw I'm following Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo's footsteps


Hard mode:
>no "how many countries" maps
>no areas you have flown over on an airline (unless pilot)


General travel tips, Sup Forums recommendations.

Everything sprayed black is areas I have not been

Pretty good range.

I'll try this without making a map

>A large part of southern Sweden
>Some sections of northern Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and northern US plus Florida
>Some european cities

ISLE OF SKYE

Wow so well-travelled, must be very cosmopolitan.

...

Have been throughout chunks of Europe (Isles, Western, Eastern but not everything) & large swath of Southeast Asia. Have been to most of the provinces here at homebase.

SE Asia is bretty based, their poorer status & love of white dollars means you can do tons of shit for cheap. Cambodia is particularly an excellent country.

It made me conclude that the Californian coast sucks, but everything else in the south west is gorgeous.

Seriously, eastern California is one of the most gorgeous places on earth. I'd live there if it wasn't for California... I'm very glad to be out of that state.

...

Helsinki and surrounding area, Gotland, Brief passage through Norway and Sweden mainland on way to Gotland

LA, Sedona, Florida, Eastern US, Colorado, Some of rocky mountains, a lot of the midwest

Interested in traveling to East Taiwan, Asia in general, really want to go to St. Petersburg, could be cool to see some ancient Christian geography if I wasn't worried about being a WHITE MALE in Muhammed land

Colorado / rocky mountain range is pretty comfy though, I like mountains 10/10 would build a fallout shelter here

Yeah, my parents are thinking of moving to eastern California. I have also heard great things about eastern Oregon and Washington (Spokane area).

Very nice, no Spain?

Sex tourism?

wrong pic. but still her

airline tickets are expensive for where i wanna go

I'll put it this way. For me, leaving the country requires a minimum of a 4 hour flight, or a 9+ hour drive. And that's just to get to Beanerland.

Why the fuck were you in Dover?

Great story, keep going.

what made you travel so much? Was it easy to get accustomed to how things worked in those countries?

>work in the police for a few years
>take vacation to go to europe again/
>2 months motorcycle tour
>land in frankfurt, train to prague, buy honda transalp in Brno
>literally circle the european mainland

swiss alps

austria somewhere

>what made you travel so much?
I enjoy it. It helps me to feel alive. Leaving your comfort zone once in a while is a good feeling.

>Was it easy to get accustomed to how things worked in those countries?

I was only passing through most of the time so I never really included myself in their culture, but its easy to get around and try food and stuff.

goddamn user how do people go on these long ass trips with nothing but a motorcycle? How do you even prepare for something like this did you bring any essentials with you

I have stepped foot in and actively ate the local foods and drank the local liquor in:
>49 US states
>4 Canadian Provinces
>4 Mexican States
>5 European Nations
>4 Middle East/SW Asian Nations

this is what i got

feels good man
you need surprisingly little. cheap hostels and lots of bread and cheese. in my cargo case i had my tablet, charger, a few clothes... and i think not a lot else. you don't really need a lot. mind you, i saw my share of bedbugs in those hostels. but you meet fucking cool people. kosovites, israeli border guards, antifa, pegida, models, criminals, everyone

Not bad b

Great story brah.

Going to knock off S. Dakota and Nebraska in October, thinking about running up to Alaska next spring.

biked to berlin, caught up with my old erasmus group. i'm the grey hat guy

Rate me

and lastly, slovenia

Did you fuck her?

>never visited other parts of spain
>visited maryland

What are the territorial divisions based on?

Also, why that bit of Mexico?

Yeah, kinda random.

This is the farthest I traveled in a car without taking a plane to get somewhere else. Home point is kek area.

Not entirely accurate but meh, fuck this Sup Forums shit.

Pic related.
>tfw never been to Germany
Iceland was absolutely amazing, though.

Very nice one, Not one myself but pretty close to a bunch of them. (before you ask, yes, they are my relatives and yes, they are illegally working there)

How did you get to the island?

Did you teleport in?

can't figure out where to go next

thinking about a couple weeks in the US somewhere, but also want to travel south east asia

And to think I'm the most "traveled american" I know. Pretty sad, we need better languages classes in schools.

Why go to africa when you could've just go to sweden?

Would love to visit some asia country tho
>inb4 turkey

...

>Illegals

Already guessed that from the trip to Chicago, guess it might have nothing to do with you though. Worked with loads of illegals, they don't bother me, though amnesty does. Anyway, they would go up to Chicago all the time.

I'm 25

Traveling is a Jewish scam.

Alabamian's map. Mostly College Football trips..
> Roll Tide

Ferry. I consider it the same as a plane as per OPs rules.

Red is where Ive been

Most of the US, except California and New England.
Also been to England, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Russia, Hungary. Lived for a year in Poland.
Also vacationed in Jamaica.

Would like to visit anywhere in Asia next.

> djibouti

Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Bulgaria, Turkey and Gran Canaria.

I pretty much travelled in a triangle with a total distance between the edges: 5600km (3500mi) by 4800km (3000mi) by 4000km (2500mi).

>And to think I'm the most "traveled american" I know
If this is you
then we're about equal. I haven't been to Africa and you haven't been to Iceland or the UK, I'm
btw


What nations have you been to? How has it influenced your philosophies and ideals, if at all?

I have spent at least a day in every US state except Hawaii, most of US National Parks, every Canadian province except Nunavut and Newfoundland, a good bit of Germany, western Austria, and Baghdad. Fun times over all.

>NYC

a-are you a nigger?

I've been pretty lucky.

No right outside of it actually, went to NYC yesterday for ezoo and had to stop at 125th street, Only reason I felt safe was because of all the cops there on literally every street corner

...

Yep I just watched africans fight each other over skittles for 2 months. Best two months of my life.

Hometown is NYC

I'm trying to go to Iceland before they fall for the multiculti meme

...

amalfi coast hands down

>tfw when ((Google)) follows me at all times

it's just so convenient :(

Same senpai, I also always wanted to go to Antarctica but I don't fucking know how

Become a (((scientist)))

Not so much Spokane, but Ellensburg, Goldendale, Colfax, Cordelaine, it's called Spo-compton for a reason
