1) Where did you go?
SEA (Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand)

2) How long was your trip?
1 month

3) If it was more than a few weeks, how'd you cover that expense
Savings, and the whole trip didn't cost me that much.

4) How'd you research?
Mainly RVF of course, generally internet like trip advisor, friends

5) Where did you stay?
Hotels and AIRBNB (cheap as fuck in SEA)

6) What was the one thing you wish you realized before you left?
I've seen pretty much everything I wanted (in terms of sightseeing). However I wish I was aware of how important logistics are even in SEA to get the bang. Experienced dry spells of a few days due to bad hotel/guest house choice. Maybe more pipelining in advance since night game wasn't great everywhere.

And listen to your body guys! This applies to everyone who is traveling for a while. I got terribly sick on the last day of my travels due to lack of sleep and an unhealthy lifestyle. Sightseeing, drinking, partying and banging girls nearly every day and night wore me down quite a bit. Fortunately I had a cute Korean girl taking care of me when I got sick.

7) DID YOU BANG?
Hell yeah! But could have been more.

My first solo trip it was the best experience I've ever had. I remember coming home from college, was bored as fuck. I was already there for 3 months and got used to the new city life. I remember I was just scrolling down on facebook and suddenly I saw that Enrique Iglesias has a concert in Spain in the upcoming days so I checked out the website. I always wanted to go to Spain because I really like the latin culture and I decided what the fuck, let's do this. When I trieed to book a ticket I saw that they were all gone, but there were a few places left for the concert in Amsterdam a few days later. So I decided to book the tickets for Amsterdam and in 5 days I was supposed to fly out to Holland. This happend last year, I was only 19 and still a virgin, yeah. I had really huge problems with my confidence, I was very shy even though girls always seemed to like me(people say I actually look like Enrique Iglesias lol). So the day to go to Amsterdam came, and when I was in the airport of Bucharest I remembered that I didn't have where to stay lol so I booked a room in a hostel from the airport wifi haha. When I arrived in Amsterdam at 7 PM, my phone was dead and I only knew the name of the hotel, so I walked like 1 hour and a half through the city with the luggage after me asking people where can I find the hotel. Anyway it ended up beeing right in the middle of Red Light District(I didn't know at the time when I made the reservation), and I can tell you I had a lot of fun and it change me completely. I was forced to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people, and do stuff I never thought I would be able to do. I lost my virginity(didn't pay for it), almost had a three some(almost because I was so excited I couldn't believe it was happenning and I screwed it up), and smoked a lot of weed and made some new friends. Like someone said in this thread, is the best thing a guy can do, travelling solo it will change your life.

[Dilligaf]

1) Washington D.C.

2) 3 nights, 4 full days. Was supposed to be one night but it stretched into almost a full week.

3) It was just a week, petty cash & Visa.

4) None, I was there to hit the tourist sites and carry on.

5) AirBnB'd an apartment in the Watergate complex, and it is a complex. Including a great rooftop lounge/bar to pull/game.

6) One thing that I learned, stop apologizing for being a single man with zero excuses to be where you are at that moment. "What are you in town for, are you waiting for someone, when is the other party arriving" bullshit ended by Day 2. Should have been the second I left home.

7) Yes


DC gets a lot of flak here, I didn't see it, and wasn't rolling as a balling gamer. There is a lot of single professional career talent in that town looking for a fun evening. They won't stay the night, but they'll comp you tickets to the Kennedy Center.

[lavidaloca]

1) Where did you go?
Holguin, Cuba when I was 19 years old

2) How long was your trip?
14 days

3) If it was more than a few weeks, how'd you cover that expense
Savings.

4) How'd you research?
I didn't. I'd been to Holguin before but always with family. So I essentially had an idea of what was going on but really didn't know much.

5) Where did you stay?
I rented a room in a house for about $20 per night.

6) What was the one thing you wish you realized before you left?
How addicted it would make me to travel and how for better or worse it had a tremendous impact on what I want out of my life.

(At the time I thought it was all about getting rich and making the most money. Then I realized that in many places you may only make $1,500 / moth but you live a heck of a lot better than you would making 10x that in your home country.)

This trip put the ball in motion and a subsequent 4 month trip a couple years after really transformed me and made me strive for financial independence.


7) DID YOU BANG?
Yes. I had 2 mini relationships for the duration of my trip. At the time they were the two best looking girls I'd been with.

[achillesamz]

1)Where did you go?
Installed Tinder before I decided where to travel from Singapore. I checked all SEA and found out Jakarta is the place with more matches and chicks messaging me first. So, booked tickets to Jakarta.

2)How long was your trip?
I didn’t believe that I got so many matches, so I planned only for 4 nights and 3 days including a weekend in jakarta.
To my surprise and you may not believe that a tinderella who works in airport pick me before the immigration and drop me near the hotel. That’s JAKARTA.

3)If it was more than a few weeks, how'd you cover that expense
I never traveled for weeks. If I travel in future, it will be from my savings.

4)How'd you research?
Tinder or any GPS location apps will be my bread and butter. Safety and logistics tips were taken from tripadvisor. I was not aware of this forum before.

5)Where did you stay?
I stayed in 3 different locations. 1st night in Veranda Hotel at Pakubuwono because she booked it. By the time I reached hotel, she already checked in and welcome me in the lobby.

6)What was the one thing you wish you realized before you left? and because I can't forget my audience
I could have banged more than 4 per day. I had not realized the night life of Jakarta. Even though I had invitations for clubbing, I stick to the one I met in the day through tinder and stayed in room.

7)DID YOU BANG? Lol
Off course, I banged 3 out of 8 dates. I was a beginner back then in 2015.

7) Yes but only 1 girl. It wasn't a game trip though. I didn't even know about game back then and I was a loser who couldn't get laid. Second trip I banged 9 girls and on my third trip (2 months ago) 25 girls.

How long was the trip for getting 25girls? and in which countries?

7) DID YOU BANG? lol

1) I vagranted around southern Europe for a couple weeks, camping out on the margins of the city and crashing with hosts I met off of Couchsurfing. Then did a study abroad. After completing it, I kept it up and visited Italy, Spain, Morocco and France.

3) I had cash from student loans and grants that I used to buy the tickets and food. But I ran out of cash near the end. One of the girls I met was from a different region, born in a rich family and we had developed quite an intense connection, so she wanted to help me out. It wasn't anything to her to hand me a small stack of high-denomination Euros.

4) I used various search engines to find which flight could get me on the ground in western Europe, and then simply resolved to do nothing more than hang out for about 10 days before making my way to the study abroad location. Then, to find a place to sleep, I walked around the city until I found a quiet neighborhood with a substantial enough bush that I could lay out underneath.

6) My biggest regret was that I should have stayed much longer in Morroco. There was one moment where I was staying in a nice house with a well-off female, the friend of my friend, and they had rolled out the red carpet for me. It was platonic with her, but she had other hot friends who wanted to meet the new American who had done such an unusual thing and come all this way to their far-off little city. For some reason, after hardly three days in the country, I felt the need to show up at the airport for my flight back. One of the hottest girls from there seemed to have a thing for me, but she ended up marrying a different guy, and I got to watch it all unfolding on Facebook.

7) (My only notch from this trip was acquired with the student from the study abroad program who gave me the cash)

[UnW]

1) Where did you go?
Throughout Eastern Europe - Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria

2) How long was your trip?
1 month

3) If it was more than a few weeks, how'd you cover that expense
Savings

4) How'd you research?
RVF for Nightlife, Regular Googling for touristy activities

5) Where did you stay?
AirBnB

6) What was the one thing you wish you realized before you left?
Don't make packed schedules, just go with the flow.

7) DID YOU BANG?
Yeah, but it wasn't the main purpose of my trip so I did it in moderation.

[Harem Scarem]

1) Where did you go?
Italy last year.

2) How long was your trip?
3 weeks.

4) How'd you research?
Tourist guides and Google Maps for attractions, restaurants, wine bars, etc.

5) Where did you stay?
Partly budget hotels or cheapish apartments, partly hostels.

6) What was the one thing you wish you realized before you left?
Should have made pipelining of some kind, and and research into nightlife, part of my preparations. Also, strange as it may sound: should have spent some more time befriending guys in this hostel environment. Many of them are just backpacker slobs but I also met some solid dudes who certainly also wanted to do more than just stare at either paintings or their phones, including one guy with a local social circle. We could have killed it in nightlife, or I could have gotten invited to house parties with local girls, but I did not invest enough time in this and I kept aloof.

7) DID YOU BANG? lol
Nope. It wasn't my purpose per se either, but still I got some good opportunities. In the end I went on a few instadates with girls from hostels.

This is worth elaborating. It's amazing to see how receptive these chicks can be. Often they're all just sitting there in the common room playing with their phones, sometimes for hours on end. I'd just sit next to them, strike up a chat, and ask them along to a wine bar or something. This worked every single time. Anything to get out of the common room and go on an adventure. The takeaway here: just because these chicks are glued to their phones does not mean they're enjoying themselves. Quite the contrary. They're bored and want to be swept away. But most of these guys don't approach. So this is very fertile ground. If they were DTF, that would pose an instant logistics problem, come to think of it. I'd probably solve that by literally "getting a room": pay for an upgrade to a bedroom at the hostel, or a different place entirely.

This one girl went and did her make-up and changed into something both sexy and classy, whereas I figured they carried only the usual backpacker rags. This girl made an effort for me, we were vibing amazingly well, but then we were joined by her guy friend (i.e. orbiter) backpacking with her (Scandicuck, silent, passive, negative, complainypants type; no opinions on anything except complaints). He made it his mission to preserve his maiden's innocence and to make sure no more wine was drunk, only coffee (at 10 PM!). This soured the atmosphere, and, worse, my own mood, and the evening fizzled out. They were leaving early next morning.

Had similar instadates with two British chicks. Again, same situation: one of them was just sitting there bored out of her mind, and would have gone to bed well before midnight if I hadn't taken her out for a walk. By this point however I was tired as fuck myself, and completely untalkative, and she just lost interest. Other one was a bit more serious and mature, but she really wanted to talk about politics and her feminist views all day. Huge turn-off. The first one also brought up how hard the economy is for millennials, blah blah blah. Some of these college-educated British girls can be such bores and I get so turned off that I find it hard to get over it and get back on track.

So although this kind of trip didn't result in a bang the first time I did it, it's certainly fertile ground. Inhibitions are lower. It's amazing how much time spent by women travelling solo is basically "down time" where they're just sitting around, bored out of their minds, not talking to anyone and not being talked to by anyone except their parents and friends at home, on the phone. Next time I will spend more time in one place and try to tap into social circles. Reflecting on this trip also made me realise that a year later, I'm not really in better shape than at the time and not making more money to fund longer trips and better accommodations. Something to work on as well.

Edit: also, this may be stating the obvious, but travelling and being in the presence of other people 24/7 is the original NoFap.

[MrRoundtree]

Man reading this thread brings back memories of the first trips in my life.

I need to go out on an adventure soon.

[081287]

1) Tokyo, Japan.

2) Two weeks.

3) ...

4) I watched a handful of travel videos on YouTube

5) Ikebukuro, on the Yamanote Line.

6) Not a direct answer to the question, but I wished I had read the Bang Japan thread started by Skotch.

7) No bang, I got three dates from two Japanese women. The first one I met on Bumble and we had two dates but she wouldn't put out since I was leaving soon, and the second one wouldn't put out on the first date (and I was leaving in 36 hours).

Had the time of my life though. First time traveling abroad and just being somewhere really different pulled me out of the monthlong funk I'd been in once my last LTR ended.

[eck]

My first trip solo was to Kiev, three days at the end of December of 2017. I was doing my Erasmus exchange in university in Poland in that time, and I found a cheap ticket with wizzair (10 euros lol). My time there was nice, but it was too cold for me, and I wasn't prepared for it (forecast didn't say anything about snow xD). I met some interesting people through hangouts application of couchsurfing, but better to use that to find interesting dudes rather than women (only whores there).

The wierdest thing of that travel was an ukrainian girl following me even when I get inside the holomodor museum, never felt like that! I approached her there then, but she didn't speak english so

Anyways, a good experience.
