Travel
I love Видеожурнал "Суп" travel vlog (it's in Russian). What's amazing is how he mixes in atmospheric music with nice edits of both the city and his standup and voice audios of people he talked to.
Here is a nice song to listen to when walking some new city in evening.
Use Google Flights to buy plane tickets.
Sticking a link for how to contact you, be it twitter/telegram to your passport, in case you lost it is very wise.
Roam Around is neat way to get quick travel plans.
Notes
- Visiting subreddits of cities/countries you are going to as well as the respective
AskA..communities is great way to know about a place. AskARussian is one such subreddit, it links to more similar subreddits in the sidebar. - You can use the minus syntax to exclude results in Google Maps.
- Freedom is the new flex. International travel > Car. One suitcase > Wardrobe. Location independence > Mortgage. Freedom to move > Material items. Self fulfillment > Social approval.
- The tourism industry exists only to sell what tourists want: an outdated and artificial stereotype of a country's culture, often from decades ago, that does not exist in real life anymore and is by now completely disconnected from the local culture that has moved on.
