Where to travel in early August?
06-18-2009, 01:41 PM
I'm looking to make a solo trip somewhere starting in the end of July for a couple of weeks before I start school.
I've never been anywhere outside of the US by myself, so pretty much everywhere is open. I can't spend that much money though. I want a mix of relaxation, new experiences, and girls.
I'd like to go to Europe, but I hear August is a terrible time since that's when all the Euros are traveling themselves. Is this true of Eastern Europe as well?

Come on guys. I really need to take a trip and my only time is in August. There doesn't seem to be anywhere worth going in August. Help!

You didn't get replies because your question is too open ended. If you have it narrowed down to a few countries then I'm sure others will share their experiences.

im open to anywhere but most realistically Caribbean (Jamaica?), Europe and S. America. Specifically E. Europe and Brazil, Peru, or Colombia.

I'd avoid Peru unless you like archeology.
Colombia is good if you don't have a lot of travel experience, as it's relatively safe. Plus it's very affordable. If you speak a bit of spanish you should have a shot with the girls if you work.
Brazil breaks the bank (it broke mine anyway) and the real is getting strong again.

Yes I do want to write a guide, but i've only been to bogota and medellin so far.
Medellin has better weather and is more manageable due to its smaller size and subway. The girls are slightly better i'd say.

Eastern Europeans tend to travel themselves in the summer. I'd go where they go.
If you want to party all the time relatively cheaply (or at least not too expensive partying), I'd recommend Cyprus (especially places like Ayia Napa) - it's going to be packed with party-going Eastern Europeans, which is great. And you're not going to spend half of your vacation on a toilet, which is what can really happen in Latin America.
