Essential The Official Coli Travel Thread

The struggle is real breh for the average man going there. All those dudes who went down for World cup who bought into the "fukking dimes easy" in Brazil left with bruised egos and lighter pockets.

You gotta be fearless to approach women with success when you don't speak the language.

Yeah no doubt, everyone has the misconception that the regular Brazilian chick is dirt poor and just dying to get with them. Dudes got their ideas about Brazil from porn where you can walk down the beach and find the baddest bytch ever and fukk her within 5 mins of meeting despite the language barrier

is it possible to go to london for 7 days and still squeeze in one day of going to paris?

that is looking like my next stop in a few months

Well you have to factor in the flying there and the time difference. I think I did about 4 and 3 in each city last time I went.

i'd try to stay in Paris at least two days if you're going there.

the Eurostar train goes under the english channel from London to Paris in 2 hours for damn near $200

easyjet has london to paris flights for ~$91/round trip.

I mean you won't be able to see all there is to see in London or Paris in that little of time. There's just so much. Off the top of my head here are some things to do. You can get a city pass and you can see some of these places without having to wait in line.

Eiffel Tower
Versailles
Louvre
Montmartre district- Sacré-Cœur Basilica
Notre Dame
Luxembourg Garden
Arc de Triomphe
Centre Pompidou
Montparnasse Tower- most people don't know about this. Best view of all of Paris. Took my wife here instead of the Eiffel Tower. Short wait instead of couple hour waiting in line to go up the Eiffel Tower. 360 degree view and has a view of the Eiffel tower.

Also if you have time checkout the La Petite Ceinture and the Catacombs near Montparnasse. I didn't know about either of these things when I was there.

My friend been in Colombia for a couple of months now (Brazil before that) off the back of using AirBnB. Read the reviews for places, some have more than others, just rock with the most reviewed ones in your price range.

Did you get around the city fine without having zero grasps of french?

And good looks appreciate the info
