Taking an Alaskan cruise soon. Stopping in Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan. (Inexpensive) suggestions?

I've been working so hard through college to learn enough to survive on my own, but... is it worth it? the world is terrible and scary out there and i just want to not realize what's going on.

I'm thinking about moving to Portland, (Oregon) and was wondering anon's opinion on it in regards to things to do, culture, restaurants (upscale), technology (internet culture), etc.

Not a hippie, nor do I use recreational drugs.

A Tom Collins for your efforts ^_^.

Pic unrelated.

Just a quick question, are shops open in Japan during the Golden Week holidays? What about the days in between the holidays?

Has anyone here had any experience hitchhiking? (USA)

I'd like to travel from west coast to east coast but I've got very little cash.

going to oslo for 3 days with no plans. any suggestions for things to do, places to say?

Couch Surfing

Anyone done it. How was it.

And if I understand correctly, can you go live abroad in a randomers house for a few months (for free) if they agree???

Yo guys

Me and 2 friends are going from Emmerich/Arnhem to Monaco on our bicycles.

During this trip we will update our blog daily and the trip has some rules (not paying for sleep and bicycle is the only way of travel)

Besides that we will do DAILY CHALLENGES. We will need to do these within 24 hours every day. I want YOU to submit your challenge idea's. A friend of mine will judge them and assemble the 20 most awesome/challenging idea's. Then during the trip we will have to do them, and post about how it went on the blog (or how we are doing)

Hope to get some nice challenges from here, got high hopes hehehe. :-D

Look at http://monaco.idreamto.be/daily-challenges/ to submit them, there's also some rules and samples.

Cheerios and thanks in advance guys!!

I'll be going to hollywood in a few months and will be spending a few weeks there. I've already been there but I didn't have enough time to see everything.

So I was wondering what are the best places to go to? Are there any tourist traps I should be aware of? Will I have enough time to see the best spots?

Hey, /trv/,

I've been invited to a wedding this summer which is evidently taking place in a little coastal town in Oregon called Yachats, of which I had never heard until I got this letter. Looks pretty enough, but it also looks like it's in the middle of freaking NOWHERE--like two+ hrs' drive from Eugene, OR nowhere, or a ten+hr drive from my house (SF). So my questions for you are these: Have you ever been to Yachats? If so, how did you get there, from where, and how long did it take? Is it a nice place? A phenomenally expensive tourist trap? Something in between? Any advice welcome--trying to decide if it's worth it to go or not. I like the bride quite a bit, and she flew cross-country for my wedding, but at least my wedding was less than an hour from an airport. Picture very much unrelated.
