The Travellers Thread

El Freako · Oct 21, 2008

This is a thread about travelling. Where have you been? How'd you get there? Where would you like to go? Where wouldn't you go if someone paid you?

My wife and I have been away from home for about 18-19months now. We've settled in London briefly and have been using it as a starting point for occasional trips around the UK or over to Europe. Before we landed here we did a 3 month backpacking trip through Japan and Europe and I even did a bit of Africa when I met up with my Dad and brothers.

So far I've been to:

Japan: Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima and a few other places
Germany: Cologne, Munich
Spain: Barcelona, San Sebastian, Malaga
Croatia: Zagreb, Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik
Greece: Naflplio, Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Ios, Thermopylae
Africa: S. Africa (Johannesburg), Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana
Netherlands: Amsterdam
Wales: Cardiff
UK: London, Leeds, Bath, Bristol, Yorkshire

My favourite places so far have been: Japan (all of), Croatia (all of) and Ios. Africa was also mind-blowing for so many different reasons.
Least favourite: Athens, the rest of Greece was great but its capital was dirty and full of rude cunts. And the fucking Acropolis was covered with scaffolding!

Next year before we return home we're already planning one last 3 month trip encompassing:

France
Belgium
Netherlands
Germany
Czech Republic
Slovenia
Hungary
Austria
Italy
Spain

...And finishing off with a week in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival.

I'll try and throw some pics up later.

That's a lot of places you've been to el freako. You've been in my city also! (Málaga).

In Spain i've been to many cities and regions. Further than that i spent one month in Wimblendon (London), one month in Dublin (Ireland) and one month in Edimburgh, shame it was July so i wasn't there for Fringe Festival but i'm looking forward to coming back, i loved the city.

I'm currently planing a trip to Dusseldorf (Germany) and also to Zilina (Slovakia), where i have friends working.
I'd like to travel to Italy, France, Netherlands... all around europe in general. In fact i'd go anywhere, love traveling.

Never really had the urge... until recently. Maybe one day. I have met a few great yanks while travelling and they've turned my opinion of Americans around (the ones I'd met in Oz did you guys no favour). Would love to do Canadia and Mexico as well. Might need a few months to do the lot.

Apparently it has the highest number of nursing homes and schools per capita in the state, so its a great place to be a kid and a great place to go and die, but in between its hell. When you're 16 you have a limited set of options.

Get drunk
Get high
Get pregnant
Get pregnant and then get drunk and high
Kill yourself

Personally I chose option one and supplemented it with petty vandalism.

I'll be back in Oz for good next September, time to buy a house, finish my studies and get to baby making.

Damn, another seppo on campus... wait, you're a Canadian aren't you? Doesn't matter, nobody can ever tell the difference.

Be prepared to be called a seppo a lot while studying in Oz, we haven't made up a word for the Canadians yet.

Seppo = Septic Tank = Yank = American
