yea it’s called poverty tourism and yuppies love it
Because they are """"""""""""""free spirits""""""""""""""""""" searching themselves around the world
wtf why would you do that?
Most of the third world isn't so dangerous. People that goes to Somalia or places like that is crazy but Colombia isn't so bad :^)
Dey "tryna find demselfs".
t. Passed through Baltimore once
It's usually cheap, exciting and firsties have this universal delusion of being the main character in the story of humanity thinking death/injury is for poor people and they're indestructible and always will be able to find a way out of a tough situation purely because of their 1st world human status.
they are bored and never in their life endured any hardship, so they seek thrill by travelling to places they consider to be dangerous and uncivilized, like Eastern Europe or Asia
honestly it's really sweet working your butt off in a first world country while struggling to pay rent and the government takes half of your salary... and then go to some shitty third world country and live like a king with actual slaves, for money that could buy you maybe a week's worth of food
f*Rstoids have been bombarded with traveller propaganda to be bored in their own countries
to meet a place with beautiful culture?
>Eastern Europe or Asia
unless you're a retard these are not dangerous
most of thirld world culture is trash anyway
I've seen numerous "hey guys I am going to Poland/Ukraine/Slovakia how do I not get stabbed and kidnapped after leaving the airport" posts, always coming from westerners
BBC and black queens
There's like 5 billion 3rd worlders how can there be so many if entering their country means instant death?
why do americans always find a way to insert their cuck fantasies even in completely unrelated threads
so they can experience the thirld world life and get killed
I wonder why.
mfw wondering why
Discovering other cultures is really cool. Most people who travel have already been everywhere in the first world
I have booked ticket to Bogota in March next year and will fly back from Carthagena 1 month later
>unless you’re a retard
>retard
that’s right. most people going to these 3rd world and 2nd world places are usually retarded rich kids, yuppies, and trust fund babies who have no concept of danger. just paying for their problems to go away
Many Westerners have no idea how Eastern Europe is. They probably imagine you like a mix of Borat and evil Russian from movies kek. Imo its good that they ask, people like that could actually end up stabbed
>congolombia
because life in the first world is mostly boring and gay
Unlike of course sheltered suburban magapedes who's only concept of danger is staying away from brown people, crowded places, cities and non-US soil
very few people do that shit
i know a girl who got offered a position as teacher in morocco and gladly lives there
Back when Poland entered the EU I remember people told stories about criminal gangs killing each other in broad daylight, organ harvesting, all of that shit.
I think there have been some movies about that too
Nice. Have fun user. Don't do illegal shit and you'll have a blast
I'm going to snort cocaine every fucking day lol
kek yeah I know what kind of people you're talking about. There's this Swiss German on my local tv that has been basically everywhere in the third world and often rants about them. But not all people is like this and if you take some basic precautions its fine to visit the third world. Even just renting a guide is enough in most cases
well in 2004 when we entered EU those stories were indeed true, but since then, most of those criminal gangs have emigrated to the west
Buy it in cash. Don't get indebted with anyone and you'll have a great time.
there is one clown in /deutsch/ that is shitposting from time to time in Balkh, Afghanistan.
But then again, all the people coming here enrich us with their culture, so you don't even have to leave your country anymore.
whit*ids were a mistake
I don't think they were ever true. People just made a gigantic collection of memes about Romania, Albania, Serbia, etc and projected it on all of eastern-Europe
Also all media we had about eastern Europe was Hostel and Eurotrip, in which they go to gypsy ghettos of Bulgaria and claim they ended up in Slovakia
Week after next I’ll be in northern Ecuador near the border with Colombia, in a region my government warns me not to travel to.
Bit worried about that 2bh
Why do you want to go there?
I don’t. My girlfriend was born there and we’re visiting her family just she hasn’t seen since she was a child
I’m excited for Quito and Cuenca but really wish I didn’t have to go to this place
yeah, plundering the rest of eu instead. your reputation still sticks because of that and your country is only safer because the criminals left to rob richer people somewhere else. we didnt have to lock our doors at night and could leave the keys to our cars in the ignition all time. now truckers are robbed of their fuel while they sleep in the cabin.
It's alright in urban areas. Avoid port cities and rural areas in the middle of nowhere. Visit Ipiales and Pasto in Colombia, on the Ecuadorian border, while you're at it m8.
If you're with a local and don't do stupid things it'll be fine. In some places if you dress like them people will ignore you. But a bong dressed like an Ecuadorian would probably be ridiculous kek
meh, just keep a lower profile.
don't be a retard and go with expensive things in the middle of the street.
try to go with cheap clothing and carry a cheap phone or camera.
dumb gringos always come carrying expensive phones and cameras like the retards they are.
Also, if some cholo want to steal your camera or phone or some shit and he has a knife or gun, just let yourself be robbed.
too much dumb gringos try to fight their thieves so they end up getting stabbed and killed.
Beyond thieves, ecuador is not really dangerous.
Just don't be a retard, use your common sense.
i'm very sorry
I also like to travel to places "poorer" than brazil, you spend a lot less and can have a better trip
How bad are these street robberies in Colombia?
I don't have expensive things at all but reading things like 'don't be on your phone in public' are very weird to me.
Esmeraldas is a port city :(
Yeah I’ll be with natives so hopefully that will protect me and I won’t be wandering around flashing around expensive shit like an idiot
I don't know, they're fucking retarded, imagine willingly travelling to mexico? these people are fucked.
Kind of difficult for me to do, since I myself am a brown person
but go off
absolute kankerfaggot
it's okay to have phone out but you shouldn't flash your iphone XS Max around
The idea that everyone not going to some shitty resort in Florida must be trustfund babies and yuppies is so fucking magapede tier it hurts
Not sure because I live in a town, but I'm sure is very common here to be robbed.
Let me point it out, average worker here earns 10 USD per day.
Most of us carry phones that are like 40-60 USD, those android poverty phones.
Is very stupid to carry an iphone ultra samsung expensive brand that cost 1-2k here in the middle of the street.
Most thieves are aware such phones and cameras are expensive, so is like having a red flag around your neck that says pls steal from me.
Also expensive clothes and expensive shoes are a red flag.
He's not wrong at all
Literally every american that comes here is a super rich white hipster
What if I have a Galaxy s7? They are worthless by our standard
Also by expensive clothes you mean obnoxious stuff like Armani t-shirts and Gucci things?
I don’t know any of my poorer family members who live in the back yards of my not as poor but still poor family members saying that they would love to vacation in 3rd world countries
they go to Mexico and Central America for family, not vacation.
they understand that most of my family that live down there require us when we visit to stay on guard because of the drug dens that are just down the street and the police aren’t helpful at all
two thanksgivings ago, my mother was in central Mexico visiting cousins when A shoot out broke out in the neighborhood
you’re a fucking moron.
What about my iPhone 6s
It’s quite an old phone over here
Don't you have one of this? I always use these while traveling
Yes but I like to take picture
m8, imagine that an average family here earns less than 500 USD per month.
iphones are a sign you have money.
just get one of those cheap 40 USD chinese phones if you wanna stay here.
My point is, anything that is worth more than 30-40 USD is a no no.
Also, is good for you because you can get some cheap stuff in case you're targeted by a thief without not issues.
Also, try to have around like 20-30 USD ready in case there's a thieve so you can say I have no more and they will think you're being honest.
Those are like the most obvious tactics againts thieves I could tip you.
use this kek
Poverty tourism makes me feel alive
Seems cool but I don't want to be the most annoying and vintage of all western tourists
It was more a joke. Buy a cheap digital camera there or try to take pictures when no one is around. I used an expensive digital camera in Morocco and nothing happened, but in South America it seems different according to a quick research. Many stories about people being beaten and robbed because they flashed their phones
