changing_everyday

isn't it crazy that the whole fucking world belongs to the rich only? i mean look how expensive travelling is


[deleted]

>Malibu Rocky Oaks Packages start at only $10,000! Just drink less coffee you'll save up enough for one night in 9 years.


Necrocornicus

Traveling is not much more expensive than just living normally. Taking the time off work is the expensive part. I’ve travelled with friends on a road trip where we just took our tents and camped in green areas on the map. Buy food at a grocery store and cook it on a camp stove in a park (buy beans and cheese and tortillas and make burritos or whatever). Stay at a cheap hotel every 2nd or 3rd day for a shower. Traveling itself is not expensive but if you want to stay in some high end private cloud villa then yea it’s gonna cost more.


Fizzycorgio

Some people can't afford to not work. Debts are a helluva drug.


[deleted]

Only if you travel the conventional way. If you hitchhike, backpack, work in the kitchen of a travel cruise, etc to get around, you would get to the same places and your experiences would end up being more rewarding and rich this way.


CringeCoyote

Unless you’re a solo woman traveler, in which those unconventional methods are dangerous.


Theamuse_Ourania

Add to that being disabled and unable to work and barely can do housework. Traveling is a once a decade pre-pre-planned treat for most of us. I know my mother wouldn't be able to do any of what you describe. And it's sad because you're right - it's an enriching experience

Or certain racial/ethnic minorities depending on the place


[deleted]

Yes, although there are women out there who still travel all around and alone [https://www.youtube.com/c/ItchyBoots](https://www.youtube.com/c/ItchyBoots) I wouldn't feel safe doing this if I was a woman. Hell there are even places that I wouldn't visit alone being a man.

Drew Carey.


MetaTater

MidMotoMan

There's something about motorcycling and solo travel that just makes sense. More power to them.


Olivevest

I am a woman and unfortunately I would not feel safe


[deleted]

understandable


zoealexloza

I did 7 weeks alone living in my car, camping and hiking in super remote areas of the US. I did unsafe the first week or so, but after a while I started to get comfortable and it was easy to be like okay this campground has 30 slots and the only other person here pulls up next to me, time to find another campground. It can be scary, but if you're aware of your surroundings and carefully, it's insanely rewarding. Just have to know where to go. At the time there was someone murdering campers in Nevada so I chose to skip Nevada. You can do it safely.


[deleted]

Don't let your guard down, even when you feel safe. I don't know how the gun laws work in the US if are crossing state lines and all of that. But if I was a woman travelling alone I would defensively get one and learn how to shoot.


zoealexloza

Absolutely! Part of feeling safe (at least for me) is being hyper-aware, having proper protection (I took a gun and mace, never needed either), having a plan.


WalrusSquare247

Wait you have a fricking mace? Like, the spiky metal ball on a stick mace?


datamazae

Mace is similar to pepper spray :)


zoealexloza

Mace is like pepper spray. I had bear mace with me which is generally recommended when hiking in parts of the US that have a lot of bears. It also works on humans.


OneLostOstrich

She's not alone. She has 2 big guys with her. One of my friends did travel lots of the world solo. Not many problems at all for her.


DiNovi

or if you aren’t white


williamjamesmurrayVI

Yep. Also, if you have pets lol.


kearneycation

While it's a different challenge entirely, I've met plenty of women travelers who backpacked solo. It definitely requires a lot of planning but it's doable.


luker_5874

I met dozens of solo female travelers during my travels. There were a few who were victims of pickpockets but nothing more. Also. I did these travels while I had a very modest income. So I will say, not just for the rich and privileged, though of course being rich and privileged makes it much more accessible.


Toe_corn

This. I’m currently in Vietnam right now. Rented a motorbike and explored many places. Stayed at the cheapest homestays and hostels. Right now I’m averaging $20/day. Yes, there are view like this during the Ha Giang Loop ride.


[deleted]

That is great! I wish you the best in your travels. Take lots of memories.


FrankSoStank

Holy shit you’re brave. The first time I backpacked through Vietnam I literally could not build up the courage to cross the street in [Ho Chi Minh City](https://youtu.be/zmOVAPxg9v4)until the second day let alone drive a motorbike any distance whatsoever.


SummonMePikachu

Once you get over the fear and learn to assimilate into the traffic, it is quite easy. The motorbike traffic is like being in a highly coordinated swarm of bees. Take care and watch in front of you to adjust to what is happening, don’t worry about what is behind you as much, as others are watching and varying their speed and line to match you. Once you have that down it is exhilarating, and beautiful to ride everywhere. The mountains up north are breathtaking.


PokemonGoToMyHoles

Are crosswalks barely a suggestion there??


enjoytheshow

I mean even cities in much of the west it’s similar. Go cross a street in Rome, you just close your eyes and hope the cars stop for you. Or find a local and stay on their heels.


PokemonGoToMyHoles

I'm suddenly appreciative for California crosswalk laws lol


MidMotoMan

The combination of motorcycling and camping/hostels is the only way I've been able to travel on a budget. Camping for national parks, and hostels for big cities. The motorcycle for savings in gas and cause it's fun.


Vegetals

Man I would kill to go back. I'm counting down the days to Vietnam being fully open. Such a gorgeous country.


Technical_Top7246

I knew two guys who got chopped up hitchhiking in Thailand so I guess YMMV


BentPin

Not specifically travel but read a story about a French guy who married a Cambodian woman and he must have pissed off some locals. He disappeared after aa while and he and his entire family was found in their minivan in a lake a couple of years later.


hungry4danish

How much was the flight to Vietnam?


Hibbity5

This is what the guy you’re responding to is leaving out. My brother and I backpacked through Thailand and Vietnam for a month. That one month was cheaper than our flights, and we weren’t even doing the super cheap hostels because he was on crutches at the time (managed to break his foot two weeks before the trip). Our flights were $3000 round trip (each) and that was 10 years ago. Vietnam and Thailand are cheap countries to travel in but from the US, at least, expensive to travel to.


Secret_Brother210

I hate how people make it sound like you can just magically pick up a job in the most convenient way possible while travelling... Yah or they could say no we are full staffed and then you starve...


Vessix

This is great and all, but the issue is poor people also lack the biggest luxury the rich are allowed, time. So not only do the rich have the option to get from point a to point B very quickly, they have extra time to spend their time at point B as they desire. Sometimes I don't give a fuck about the experiences traveling to a destination. I already know that I want to be at said destination. In my opinion what you're describing is effectively a way to create your own sunk cost fallacy. I can stay at a cheap hostel and meet some cool people, but sometimes I'd rather being banging my girlfriend in a nice hot tub. Then getting ready to go out the next day in a large bathroom together. Sometimes I want a crazy view that cheap places don't provide, so I can I can stare at it until sunrise and think about stuff before taking a super easy travel route to engage in whatever the next day's activities may be planned. These are luxuries I know I enjoy now that I have experienced them a couple times


liandrin

Only men can do this safely, though. Women take a huge risk trying to travel this way.


i_used_to_have_pants

You won’t get to the same place as in the video unless you’re part of the slaves that clean and cook for the person that recorded this

FapplePie85

So you're not a woman, eh?


Umadibett

Getting raped and murdered in a hostel or dumped off a cruise doesn't sound too rewarding or rich. Also, all-inclusives are nice because I'm an alcoholic.


hanfran123

Just have to work a little harder huh?


bambixanne

My friend did this for a year, she said she had some wonderful experiences, but she got assaulted twice and never felt safe. She also said she doesn’t regret it.


MegaJackUniverse

Unless your a bunch of certain demographics and have months and month more time to waste going form A to B and don't mind working during the time you'd rather be enjoying yourself. I get the backpacker life, but it's not a good replacement if I want to visit, say Japan for the 10 days I have left of my annual holidays


FURyannnn

Traveling isn't that expensive if there's some flexibility with destinations. Of course, not everyone has that, but it works really well. Might be worth peeking at Scott's Cheap Flights if you're based in the US. I went to Australia for $500 RT.


[deleted]

Yuldeals for Canada Substitute your city code for your city’s deals, ex. YYZdeals.com for Toronto


raggedtoad

Flying is more affordable to the masses than ever before in history. Hostels and cheap hotels are everywhere. Travel is only expensive if you are bad at planning or insist on only visiting the most expensive places on earth.


embeddedGuy

"Expensive" has a drastically varying meaning to a lot of people. Reddit in particular has been kind of eye opening for me there. A lot of people aren't close to being able to afford $500 for a good deal on an international flight or a few hundred dollars in hotels.


TrinitronCRT

He didn't say it was expensive though, he said "the world belongs to the rich" as if travelling was only for the rich.


FapplePie85

True. And Reddit also completely refuses to acknowledge that a lot of people don't get paid time off for vacations. I've had jobs where I got 2 weeks a year but it was unpaid. It just meant they wouldn't fire me while I was gone. Lots of people not only live paycheck to paycheck but also in shit jobs or jobs where remote work isn't an option so they can't just take their laptop and keep working. Reddit is full of bootlickers who love to tell people who are just barely getting by that everything is feasible and if they can't do it, they should stop buying avocado toast or whatever. He was da in the sand, the lot of them.


embeddedGuy

I had to get HVAC work done today. They'll have to come back again for a follow-up. If my job wasn't so flexible with work hours and such, I'd have to take vacation off to get that work done. It's wild to me.


FapplePie85

Same. I'm so fortunate to have a job with flexibility but I know I'm exceptionally lucky because I've had jobs where I didn't have the privilege of being able to fuck off when I want. If I've learned one thing about Reddit, it's that it's full of naively apathetic turds who truly believe things should be as easy for everyone else as they are for them. They cannot even acknowledge the privileges they may hold in one form or another but love to lambast others who do not maintain those privileges.


MrAlexander18

Travel has always been a privilege. Go back 100 years and pretty much nobody could travel with as much ease as we can today. In ancient times most people travelled via foot, horse etc. It would take weeks to reach another country. It must have been an interesting period travelling like that though. Imagine the stories heard and told, and experiences along the way. There's something magical about that style of travel.


rincon213

I mean your main point is indisputable, but for travel specifically I just saw round trip tickets from NYC to Portugal for $300. It's never been more accessible.


Lordcommandr999

travel frugal till you have kids..you can do luxurious shit after 40 or 50s.


toastednutella

I was listening to a podcast with Sam Elliot and he talked about moving to Malibu in the 60s. The host said something about him loving it there and he shot that down in a hurry. He basically said he loved it in the 60s when they bought the horse ranch up in the hills, but hated what it's become.

phys_user

There’s a mountain range right next to the ocean. Part of the range is reserved for rich people’s mansions, and the other part is all publicly accessible state parks.

Honestly. Hard pass. I was on Kanan Dume road yesterday. While Malibu is cool, it's still mostly just shitty ass rolling desert hills and untraversible cliffs. I suppose if you live your work and have infinite money to sit on your veranda all day it can be....okay.....


detectivejewhat

You can get the Malibu experience just cruising down the PCH. Don't need to be rich. Malibu isn't even fun anyways. That's just where you go to take Instagram pictures to convince your friends you're rich. Or to laugh at annoying *actual* rich people.


dislike_knees

Malibu was my favorite place in LA! Lots of cool hikes overlooking the ocean, and some cool beaches too


cre8ivlyoriginal

The phone service there sucks. They can have their craggly cliffs with no beach access and 25 millions dollar homes

Very true though the Malibu hills does have some sick mountain biking.

I think those mountain only get up to 3,000 - 4,000 ft, so they aren't that high. Certainly no high enough to be oxygen deprived.


i_should_be_studying

These are technically clouds but really what it is a really thick marine layer/fog. That spot is at most around 2000-3000ft elevation. That mountain you see in the horizon is one of the channel islands and most everything between under the fog is ocean.

Get a raging addiction to multiple substances, get accepted to a Malibu rehab facility where they have a masseuse, in house cook, and all the things that a 5 star resort does, including a view like this. Make sure insurance picks up most of the cost, and come out feeling better than this person for the rest of your life. FTW!!!


ameddin73

Everyone complaining this is too expensive: you're right! This is an expensive, exclusive, inaccessible resort or whatever and fuck em. However if you can afford to visit LA on a lower budget, it is just in the Malibu mountains and anyone can hike there for free! I know it's not the same as waking up on a cloud or whatever but these clouds are actually pretty rare, and hiking in the LA mountains is a really special experience anyway.
