For career purposes, I'm considering doing whatever it takes to earn my way into Israel. I know it will not be easy because of the changes in the world, but I have to try. Does anyone know anything about Israel?

Reposted from r/shoestring: all credit belongs to the author (i.e. i did not write this post) I thought I'd make this post because I remember researching and wondering if a trip like I'm on was possible and if so how to achieve it. I know my situation may not reflect that of everyone, but I...

Hey all, Backpacking everywhere through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore for the next few months. No destinations in particular. Either keep traveling if I can find the means all the way to West Europe by land, or pounce on some yupster job offering. Basically I need some...

I just started researching for a trip to SE Asia this winter. The initial plan is a clockwise loop N from Bangkok, into Laos, S through Vietnam, then through Cambodia. Does anyone have experience getting into Vietnam overland? I keep reading you need a visa in advance, and cant just show up at...

I arrived in Bangkok first thing in the morning after an anxious night on the plane, getting caught in my own thoughts, just waiting for the all-ecompassing, enthralling experience of stepping into a land of the likes I'd never experienced before. I was convinced it was the only way to sort out...

I am wondering if anybody knows if you can receive a shipment at a U.S. embassy. I will be close to Bangkok and I need my head meds sent from the states. it was no issue In terms of price when I was in scambodia, but I paid way too much in Thailand. I would rather not have to return to phnom...

So far, I've been travelling through Vietnam, cambodia, and now I am in thailand. Been really enjoying the street art, graffiti on French colonial buildings and kicking it with local bums...well sorta, this one cunt stole 700 baht from me but I was dumb enough to ask him to find me some uppers...

Hey everyone, I'm a new member of StP, but very enthusiastic about the concept. I also just started a podcast that focuses on travel and on highlighting underrepresented voices, communities, and places around the world. It's called Latitude Adjustment. I spent a good portion of the past 7 years...

Hey everyone. So excited to hav e found this community! I've spent most of the past 6 years packing across North Africa, Middle East, and S. Asia... wish I'd found this sooner. If you've got any questions about how to get by on nothing in Egypt, or India... or general questions about travel in...

I'm thinking of quitting my soul sucking job this month. I already have a month long trip planned for Korea and Japan kicking off in the next few weeks. I'm considering extending my wanderings indefinitely through more of SE Asia but money will be an issue. (I have money, but I don't want to...

saw this post on reddit's /r/vagabond today and thought it might be worth reposting here for anyone that was interested: Hitchhiking across Russia (self.vagabond) submitted 23 hours ago by lonelyhoncho I’m about to go on a gap year and am thinking about hitchhiking across the whole of Russia...

Lumbini, Nepal, December 2016. The supposed birthplace of Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha. I had been backpacking around Nepal for about 2 months at this point, mainly staying at a farm/ashram up above the outskirts of Pokhara. I managed to get down from the hills and mountains of Pokhara to the near...

I’ve made it to Japan with basically no questions asked by immigration, with a budget of about $200/mo ($600/88days). I’ve booked myself 1-2 hostel stays per week after the first week or so is over. Any tips when it comes to Tokyo?

I was hoping I could fly the Europe route, cutting through Copenhagen.

Hello SquatThePlanet! This is my first day, and also my first post. I've been trying to get as much information about hitchhiking China, though there seems to be little out there on the interweb. I've created this thread to put together on a single page any details that I might find useful, and...

Hi guys, I'm currently thinking about going to Georgia either in march or (more likely) somewhen in the summertime. The landscape looks awesome, plenty of cheap beer and food, friendly locals, not too many tourists, sounds good to me. Plus I can fly there form as little as 20€ per round trip...

Just wondering: Does anybody know if you can catch transoceanic ferries at any Indian ports? Wanting to sail from the West coast to Europe. Or even to frikkin the middle east, N Africa, or Turkey I dont give a phuq as long as i dont have to fly or cross Pak.

So, thought I'd share a couple of snaps i have from the past year or so in asia. Bits and pieces collected from here and there when I've remembered. All taken on phones Kashgar - old city Kyrgyzstan - almost to the kashgar border, super easy hitches that day. After Kashgar to Urumqi in...
