International Playboy Lifestyle: Where have you been so far this year?
06-13-2011, 01:05 PM
Well I really can't match G's travels seeing how I'm only a trainee International Playboy but this is what I've had time with so far this year:
Rated on my lay-scale of 'no', 'yes' and 'hell-yes!'
January: St Louis - no, Minnesota - hell-yes!
February: New York City - yes
April: Rome, Italy - no
It'll get better this summer and winter though. Just booked a three week vacation in SE Asia the other day.

I find it strange that Americans class going somewhere in their own country as travelling, I guess because it's such a big country or something? If us Brits go to another town we wouldn't even mention it most likely.
The tail end of last year and the start of this year: Brazil (twice), Argentina, Chile, Peru & Bolivia.
All going to plan in November I'll take off on a 4 month+ trip that see's me visiting Germany, Russia, Mongolia, China (Transmongolian railway), Thailand & Myanmar OR China, Thailand, Burma, India. Haven't quite decided yet, thinking the fact Russia etc will be covered in snow and minus 7 degrees will either be awesome and really make the trip or be a complete nightmare.

Gringo -
"I find it strange that Americans class going somewhere in their own country as travelling, I guess because it's such a big country or something?"
Yeah, a 5 hour plane flight and 3 hour time difference is "traveling" in my book.
It was basically a list of "where I was at".

Yeah fair point. I guess you guys do have to go pretty far to get to other cities sometimes. Not much more than 5hrs on a train and we can travel the whole country from end to end.

Jan - Panama
Mar - Iceland

I'm starting to prefer staying longer in fewer countries. You really can't know the culture unless you stay at least +2 weeks.

I haven't been anywhere this year really other than East Lansing, USA for a weekend.
Going to Sweden, Norway, and Finland for 2 weeks and then India. Possibly Bangkok in Late July.

Agree with Yams about traveling slow.
Jan - Feb: Iceland
Mar - Apr: Denmark
May - ?: Poland
One country every 2 or 3 months is a good pace for me, but I know this is impossible for guys who don't make that internet money.

Agree about the longer stays thing. Feel like I need at least a week just to get settled in and find all the good spots these days. Also, taking the time to sort out a nice pad in the middle of whichever city your in CANNOT be overstated.

Impressive stuff.
We have some real legit International Playboys on here.
Yeah, I am thinking longer stays next year.
I hate bouncing around; ie finding banks, grocery stores, apartments, Internet, cigarette stores, base of operations, finding new heroin hook ups before I get sick etc
I like to Post Up.
