Hola RVF,
this is my first real post but I have followed RVF quite a bit.
This summer I am planning to travel for 3-6 month, maybe longer.
Thus it will be awesome to hear your opinion and perhaps help me with making decision where to travel. My goal is to boost my personal development, broaden horizons, have great time and of course to get some notches. I like good nightlife but will not go party every night.
Just some background: I am 5 '11 tall, dark hair, blue eyes, athletic build. I traveled in Thailand and Indonesia for 2 month before and even though I was not into Game and done only touristy stuff, I managed to score with local chicks quite a bit. I also traveled Europe and eastern Europe quite a bit but never for longer than a week.
I am considering to travel either do South America or South East Asia. At the moment I am studying Spanish. Because it is great for personal development to learn a new language I consider is as a plus to be forced to speak Spanish in SA.
In SA I am considering Colombia and maybe Brazil. In SEA I am very curious about Vietnam, Philippines and maybe China. I am not sure yet which cities to pick.
The arguments in favor of SA are: learning Spanish and new experience. Following arguments are not in favor: relatively expensive and dangerous, Spanish could be a hurdle with local chicas in the beginning. On other hand SEA is relatively cheap and safe but I have already been there and it is hot and rainy season.
It would be awesome to see some opinions about places and cities and maybe your personal experiences how traveling contributed to your personal development. What do you do while traveling for personal development? Learning Languages, Freelancing, Volunteering?
Cheers
