So we all know about the travelling meme.
Every normalfag is addicted to it. So much that they congest everything in the town they travel to so you can wait in line to get your lunch from any of the better restaurants.

What are the destinations you would want to visit before you die?
Do you have a place you want to see one day?
Or do you even have a few of them?
Would you even live there if you could?
Here you can discuss all those things

>okay but you first …

Oahu would be the place for me
>warm and paradisic entire year
>has everything from lush greenery to barren volcanic landscapes to explore
>1st world country, modern infrastructure, high tech
>shopping centres with everything you could have ever imagined to buy
>the laid back culture of its inhabitants
>fantastic food with the freshest of all ingredients directly from the ocean or your own garden
>California is only a few hours away by plane, so you can visit Disneyland anytime you want to
If I had infinite money I would definetely move there permanently
I would have a house, a private beach and a giantic garden where I would grow all types of plants
Each day would begin with swimming or surfing in the ocean and end with a big barbecue

What I love about Hawaii is that mixture between nature and high tech society.
Everything is so modern so beautiful but the island is still so green. The colors are incredible.

I don't think traveling is for me since I feel anxiety even when I just go on walks and there are people outside, that's why I do it in the early morning hours or at midnight. Hiking sounds like a better option for me and you don't need that much money and planning.

>boat living
now this is an interesting idea
you would be at home wherever you are and you could sail to wherever you wanted to visit
very good idea

>>171787
you are of course right more or less since during the last 50 years capitalism and the american way of life has taken hold pretty much everywhere in the world. It meant that everywhere in the world things started looking the same as in the western hemishpere. So wherever you go, you will find the same global food chains, the same global clothing stores, the same grocery companies, the same type of building tall buildings etc.

>>171789
I understand your concerns about warm climates. It makes you sweat and it feels ugly
But the good thing about it is you can spend entire day swimming in the ocean to cool down and not sweat. Or surfing, scuba diving and what not. And the benefit of that climate is you can grow food on your plot of land year round.

Of course winter landscapes are beautiful too. Snowy sceneries give you a feeling of christmas and having a fire in your fireplace is very comfy. On top of that you have to never bother about insects.
But the problem with cold climate is it is cold. Another climate form is desert that has its advantages too. When there is no rain at all, insects will have a hard time to survive like in winter. So you eliminate the insect problem while not giving up the warmth. But yeah, every climate type has its benefits and disadvantages.

>Clapham, North Yorkshire.

I was never there. I always wanted to go there so this is a personal wish of me

I want to know it all
But the idea you had sounds nice too. Innawoods at some lake.


>>171818
Nippon was obvious and I expected this already.
What I find interesting about Japan is that they have pretty much all climate types too
They have ski resorts in the north and subtropical islands in the southern most parts
Also some mo9untainous volcano desert like landscapes where sulfuric material kills off all types of plants that would want to grow there. The benefit of being Japanese is you can travel to beach and ski vacation without even leaving your country. And Japan also has the benefit of being a 1st world high tech country with functionning infrastructure, legal system and polite people.

BTW, speaking of indonesia. I saw a video that explained there is a bamboo type in indonesia that grows up to 1 yard per day. And the guy calculated how many square yards you need to build your own cottage out of this bamboo

They also have a tree sort, a very light one that grows 10 yards in 13 months. Most houses in indonesia are built using this wood. Imagine that. You can build your own house with your own wood and grow your own food and you don't need heating all year round. you could live the savage life very easily

What I find interesting about urban japan is how clean everything is. Not only trash wise. They have no trash on the floors but also their buildings and everything looks very tidy and like it was freshly built. They take good care of their things.

I visited the US in 2008, and I held similar hopes that it would resemble the movies and television shows I enjoyed in the 90s.

The first thing which surprised me (beyond the heat), was how few people there are walking or outside in general on foot. I cycled through entire suburbs where nobody was walking or gardening, but then in the city (Virginia Beach) there were people everywhere so I imagine they just drive to scenic locations to walk. The second thing which surprised me, in a positive way, was how much space there was (compared to the UK), in terms of the width of the sidewalks, the width of the driving lanes, the car parking spaces, and so on. That was a great thing and I appreciated how you don't have to constantly be squashed up against other people. The experience of walking into stores, malls, and so on was truly distinctly American, there was something about doing that which made me feel as though I was in a movie but maybe it was just the novelty. People on average, in my experience, were more friendly, enthusiastic etc - it seemed likely that I could talk to someone and enter into a conversation with them about something. Everyone seemed to be enthusiastic about life, whereas in the UK there is a depressive feeling towards everything, or as if people are just reluctantly putting up with things in their day-to-day life which I understand and relate to. I caught the train from somewhere near Virginia Beach up to Washington DC, and passing through small towns was a great delight, and the train itself was like some kind of futuristic, double-decker spaceship like an airliner which had its wings removed and wheels placed underneath. However, I also noticed that there were "black neighbourhoods" which we avoided, and which were tacitly accepted as areas where white people didn't go. In Washington DC I saw aggressive policemen threatening people for "jaywalking" outside a sports stadium, which was depressing. And I also offered a young boy my seat on the crowded subway, and his father looked at me as if I was a degenerate for talking to his son.

gonna answer bc i actually have some experience in living on a boat, you have to maintain it/pay for the marina otherwise be ready to live in a mooring for most of the year, you need to know how to fix most of your shit alone, to fish and use the vhf cause if an issue happens you're not going to get immediate help.
anyway youtube e celebs often portray it as some kind of ideal adventure but if you dont have a lot of money you're not going to live in a 50ft cat. anyway sailing is enjoyable but you need to train first and its far from being heaven on earth.
>you can spend entire day swimming in the ocean to cool down and not sweat.
actually been for a while on a tropical island and unless you're not in the water all the time/ have a solid a/c in your house you're gonna sweat bullets. also hurricane season can be really harsh if you're not prepared. plus never been to hi but you got that volcanic risk. the meditterranean looks safer to me

im the anon you replied to. the natives already did it on the islands that were fertile enough (java some parts of sunda) but its not bc you have a tropical climate that you can grow anything, for instance the soil in the amazonas sucks and you have to burn everything to the ground to grow crops, thats what is unfortunately happening in sumatra and borneo (see southeast asian haze) so the soil on the two biggest islands is shit, same in papua, most of nusa tenggara is the same as the weather is super dry even the island around java have a high emigration rate because the soil sucks and so the people are leaving

>pls post video
it is from a german guy. i got into aquaponics and he had an experimental setup
he made a video in Bali something like
>the 5 greatest mistakes for aquaponics newbies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L06dKL9gu5U
and there he talked about this bamboo sort
here is the video where he goes into detail after people shown interest:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgdYIxsyQfs
a bamboo shack in indonesia costs you 8'000 USD to build.
Using this bamboo that grows 1 meter in 1 week.
they use some varnish to preserve the bamboo to stay fit for long time

In general you can say that Indonesia is truly a paradise.
Not only for the hip digital nomads who live entire year on bali.
everything is affordable. I also know one engineer former coworker he build a house in rural thailand for like 30'000 USD and he said the only problem was the mosquitos (you have to close all windows at 7pm).


>All these places you wrote need resident visas to live there long term

of course they do. this entire planet is one giantic prison
welcome to the jail, here is your cell

>and i am from a wet cloudy island,

I love clouds. this is literally the best weather. warm (not hot) with clouds entire day.
I found out Lima Peru has very mild temperatures year round. Since it is at the edge of the Atacama desert it gets pretty much no rain year round.
And there is some kind of fog that engulfs the city for most of the year. It is some kind of moisture from the ocean. Overall I found that climate very pleasant.

>how can i live like a savage without breaking international laws?

you need a visa or else they will just deport you
however, there are ways to avoid it more or less.
For example one expat wiz once reported he lived in moldova or something and every 3 months he would cross the border to ukraine, stay there a few days and come back for another 3 months as a tourist to moldova. Personally I don't like this because it is not viable for the long term. One day they will just get fed up and tell you to gtfo.

If you want to be an expat you will usually have to prove that you can survive on your own there.
so they will want to see your bank account balance and tax papers or the past few years.
just like with everything, money solves the problem …

>Plus, if it was easy to grow food why aren't the natives doing the same thing, why to they all want iphones and alcohol and to act like western normies??

because the western lifestyle is addictive.
farming is not easy at all. you have to watch your good every day. parasites can eat it away. insects or fungi can destroy it. disease or climate (hail, drought) can destroy your entire harvest.

but how can the soil be shitty
it is literal volcanic soil. it makes their trees grow 10 meters in 13 months
or is it another part of the country

>amazonas

yeah the brazillians burn down the entire rain forest then all the nutrients that were formerly in the woods go into the soil and make it fertile. Then they plant maybe 4 or 5 years and have very good harvests until the soil is sucked dry. Then they have to start using artificial fertillizers. Maybe this is what the indonesians cannot afford and after 4 or 5 years they just leave the used up land behind.

No. Its way more than that. At sea you are alone. If you car breaks down you just have to stop on the side of the road and make a phone call. Evenbif you send a mayday you still have to deal with that shit until the helicopter/boat arrives which can take a lot of time.

I would only travel if I were rich. And even then, I would want to be in a controlled environment, such as a cruise, resort or a private tour so I can get used to travelling and the destinations before experimenting on my own.

There are a number of luxury resorts that look nice, both spacious, quiet and full of local culture, such as Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay or the Aman resort in Greece. Japan is a given, considering how safe and comfortable it looks. And rather than the overcrowded and stressful disneylands, I've wanted to go on a disney cruise, but obviously as a wizard that is never going to happen. Some luxury cruise line like Princess will probably be better for me. None of it is ever going to happen anyway, as I said, I will only travel if I were rich, rich enough to avoid crowds and noise.

I would never want to live anywhere outside my country, even a holidays home, far too stressful.

I've gone from being a hikki to living on my own in a different country where i dont know the language. I have opposite experience to you where hotels and resorts are much more stressful than living in an apartment. It's very stressful to have cleaners coming in everyday and always having to go to restaurants to get food. Being able to just go grocery shopping is a lot easier, I don't even need to talk to anyone

Having an apartment is MUCH cheaper as well. I think resorts and hotels are simply a scam

I thought more people here would like to travel/ live in cold places like Alaska, Iceland, etc.
Introverts, or more accuretly 'yin' people tend to favor cold places, as these are good for contemplation, learning and peace. People are also not as social there as they are in e.g. Spain.

Anyway, I don't really care about traveling and seeing the world. What gives? At the end of a day I'd still feel empty.
Still, I'd rather live somewhere where it's cold.

you are the boat living guy right?
today I just watched a doc movie about the Florida Keys.
They had one boat living guy too and it seemed like lots of stress.

There was some sheriff who patrols around there:
>finds "suspicious" guy lingering around the coast in his canoo
>suspects him of being a drug slinger and wants to get him for anything
>who are you what are you doing here where is your ID
>"sheriff I live on that abandonned boat"
>do you pump out your feces? you are required by law to do so at least 1x per month
>"no, my system does not work, I use toilets in the town"
the cop later goes on to say that he does not have anything to nail him down ..
… yet
next day he came again to this guy and gave him a warning to fix up his boat in 1 weeks time or there will be consequences.

So much for living in freedom in the modern era. cops will find something to get you

You can hire staffed private yachts, but you need to be richer than rich to do that. For example, the flying fox yacht which costs mere 3.5 million per week. All in all, I think a $30,000 luxury cruise with 250 people is a reasonable compromise.

The thing is that even though there are places I like to fantasize about seeing, I know I'd hate actually doing it. The actual logistic experience of travelling is shit, being far away from home is extremely stressful if you're not used to it, and there's really not that much to do if you're honest about it. If you're not interested in meeting people, like I assume everyone here is not, then you're really only travelling for weird food and some pretty scenery you'll get bored of in an hour. Flying to Japan is a fucking big investment for some takoyaki and some views I can already see pictures of online.
Regardless, I like most people here would like to see Japan. I'm a bit torn because I'd like to see a rainy season (I love rainy days, and the idea of getting a whole bunch of days in a row where it pisses rain seems lovely) but the rainy season happens during the hottiest, muggiest, shittiest part of the year. I think winter would probably be better.

I'd like to see some stormy grey North Atlantic island, too. The Faroes or the Orkneys or one of the ones off the coast of Norway or something like that. These fall squarely into the category of "scenery you'd get bored of in an hour" but it almost feels worth it anyway.
