Montenegro is nice, but if you haven't been, don't expect easy pickings. Montegrins are very tribal, and infiltrating can be tough. Better to stick to Russians, Ukrainians and other foreigners.

Looking at either going to Thailand, Argentina or India in the next couple of months. Been to Thailand many times before, the country is so addictive. Never been to S America, I should go while i'm still relatively young?. India would be cool, I would rent a house in a golf resort and play every day. Would take a girl with me, because I have almost zero attraction to Indian women.

Jakarta, Bali, Gilis, Lombok

Bali is good for surfing but not much else IMO, Lombok and the Gilis are pretty cool. You can and should take a boat trip from the Gilis to Komodo, Rinca, Flores etc. Seeing the Komodo dragons was the highlight of my Indonesia trip, as well as the volcanoes such as Merapi and Kelimutu etc

[end game]

I'll be heading to Colombia for at least six months starting in May. I'm looking to set up shop in Bogota, and do a considerable amount of traveling throughout Cali-Periera-Manizales-Medellin-Cartagena-Baranquilla. May hit up Estonia after that. It'll soon be my gap year before I hit up grad school, so all I know is that I'll have roughly 30 K and will roam to wherever my dick leads me.

[Cr33pin]

Im going for sure to Colombia, Peru, China, Taiwan..... The rest of the year is open to where ever i feel like going. I do wanna check out Austalia but i havent put it on the for sure list yet

[JTinVA]

Already have London, Amsterdam/Groningen, and Kiev booked for 2012, but something tells me the "next big thing" in hot destinations for Western horndogs will be... (drumroll)... Albania and Bulgaria.

[Kafka]

My big ones are Poland, Czech Rep, Romania and Bulgaria, most of which I've been able to pipeline some good contacts into (but always up for anything new). Also, I highly recommend Rotterdam and Brussels to anyone who hasn't been, tons of hot approachable girls and not overrun by tourists, had an awesome time over New Year weekend

[naughtynomad]

In 10 days I'm off to the Levant! Weehay!

[InternationPlayboy]

Since I'm saving to move back to CO, I think I'll probably only have one trip this year, and I'm thinking it might be Switzerland. I know it's not gonna be a good spot to game, I don't plan on scoring there, if I do, sweet, if not I didn't expect anything. I just have a friend out there I want to visit. I hear her town is a amazing. If I can squeeze in a second, either Colombia or DR.

[Laner]

Just got to Sweden on Tuesday. I will be here until June.

I have three weeks in April and three weeks in June. I am tossing up:

- Turkey beach resort
- Poland--> Romania--> Bulgaria
- Barcelona
- Basque (Biarritz too)


I have a trip booked to Helsinki already. Possibly St. Petersburg and Moscow in the same trip.

Sounds like a good challenge, though. One interesting thing is I hear that the girls and people in general there are very tall. I've also heard scattered reports that the men are very jealous and protective of their women, which poses an additional challenge for me at barely 5'9" and 160 lbs. My perhaps stereotypical view of Montenegro men is somewhat like Serbian men: I picture 6'5" chainsmoking, drunken Slavic thugs toting AK's under their trenchcoats. Gulp!!

[Vicious]

Having just been to Bali I must say it feels like the local population has a better grasp of English than the one in Thailand.

[Saladin]

Confirmed for 2012- Atlanta and Montreal.
I'm hoping to be able to spend a month in EE or Scandinavia, maybe a month in GBG, Stockholm, and Tallin.

[Rebel]

Was heading to Costa Rica but change of plans.

Peru for 2 weeks in March. Have tickets in hand.

Nice. That is plenty of time for you to get a real feel for Sweden and bust out an incredible data sheet for us!!

Cool?

Make some observations of the latin "scene" for me, I'm curious how swedish women like or dislike spanish guys.

I know it's off topic but I have to ask what you guys do for a living to be able to take months off at a time like that plus have enough cash on hand to spend?

I get 2 weeks of vacation a year at my job but I don't really use it because I can't afford to go anywhere. I do what I can to travel and stay with friends and family but nothing like you guys are doing.

Reading this thread I'm left wondering the same thing myself. I recently took a part time gig with a major airline, solely so I can fly cheap. Overall cash flow will be a bit of an issue, but at least I'll be able to get to the places I want to.


Anyhow, with my ability to fly anywhere on a whim for next to nothing, I'm looking at...

USA:
-Atlanta*
-Chicago*
-Hawaii
-Houston
-Las Vegas*
-New Orleans
-New York
-Phoenix
-San Diego*
-Seattle

These trips are all because either I've somehow yet to visit these US cities, and/or I have friends that reside in or near them.

The World:
-Amsterdam, Netherlands*
-Athens, Greece
-Bangkok, Thailand
-Barcelona, Spain
-Cancun, Mexico
-Dubai, UAE
-Dublin, Ireland
-Frankfurt, Germany
-Kingston, Jamaica
-Nassau, Bahamas
-Paris, France
-Prague, Czech Republic
-Quito, Ecuador
-Rome, Italy
-San Jose, Costa Rica
-Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
-Sao Paulo, Brazil
-Seoul, South Korea
-Singapore
-Stockholm, Sweden
-Tokyo, Japan
-Vancouver, Canada
-Zurich, Switzerland

* - indicates previously visited

I realize my list is certainly over ambitious. So, what places would you experienced global travelers recommend I attempt first?

I can tell right you now a lot of Scandinavian girls love a real Latino - ie. one speaks Spanish, dances well and is not an irritating gimp who mobs them just because they're genuine blondes (and in high currency).

Some immigrants wish they could pull it off, and Scandinavian girls get mobbed when they go to Costa del Sol, but I seem to automatically do better if I drop Spanish phrases here and there and play the part, as dumb as that sounds. Especially cosmopolitan girls who enjoy travel eat this up, and Scandinavians - very few will be totally impartial. The fact that you speak no Scandinavian at all, I think, will only be an advantage for you. You'll first come across as an American, because you speak English, therefore they know you're not a poor third-worlder - then they find out you're from Miami, speak Spanish and what have you... I definitely see that working.

As for the original question, I'm hoping on moving to Argentina to take my Spanish from intermediate to advanced and to see the country that I've heard so much about. This is all subject to my other financial goals, though...

[Danowar]

Going to Panama City, FL for spring break. Then Korea for 6 months, short stints in Vietnam, Thailand. Vacation to Jeju Island, Singapore, New Zealand. Back to Korea to finish out the year, and then hopefully Tokyo as my base for the next couple years.

[americanInEurope]

Doing my North America tour this year: San Fran, Miami, Minneapolis, Montreal, Vancouver, Austin and NYC.

Fuck DC lol

[Deluge]

Ko Phi Phi, Thailand or Brazil in December. Haven't fully made up my mind yet.
