I want your guys' input on destinations, I'm planning on spending no more than 6 days in a city, have budgeted $9,000 and 6 weeks though it is flexible. I'm planning it for March - April 2014. I'm mid-20s, look like a middle eastern - latin hybrid and know basic French and German, enough to get both flags abroad.

Cities I am considering are Lyon, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Hamburg, Helsinki, Tallinn, Budapest, Zagreb, Wroclaw, Sarajevo, Belgrade, Kiev and Bucharest. The latter 7 have great potential, however they may require a longer stay. I will pipeline heavily using Facebook, Twitter, CS, VK and Badoo beginning 3 months prior to my trip.

What 6 to 8 cities from the above would you recommend I scope out?

Personal opinion : Go your own way. Discover and visit the places that you find most interesting.

9 grand in 6 weeks? Head to FSU (Belarus, provincial Ukraine/Russia, Kyrgyzstan and you will be balling it.

Try mamba if you plan to pipeline.

Rule of thumb seems to be the further north you go the more expensive the city becomes.

Keep in mind the time of year you want to go that some of those places will be cold.

Some of those countries aren't easy to pipeline, girls are relunctant to talk on Facebook etc. Think of how many guys from around the world are trying to holla at girls in Sweden via that route.

I would go with Volk's suggestion - Belgrade, Sarajevo, Bucharest, Zagreb, Wroclaw.

Since you speak French and German, stay with cities inside that region. Hamburg, Cologne and Berlin seem like obvious choices.

F*ck the whirlwind tour.

Shoot all 6 weeks in one spot.

Or worst, do 3-3 in two spots or 2-2-2 in three.

F*ck the dumb sh*t.

Like The G says, do 3 places TOPS. All the data you need to make a good decision on what place to pick are available here on the forum.

"I'm mid-20s, look like a middle eastern - latin hybrid and know basic French and German"

i am a hispanic/asian american mix, and i have been living in spain for 1.5 years, mostly meeting spanish girls, but i have also traveled to paris, berlin and amsterdam, and my next trip this july is to stockholm.

all i know -- and i wrote about this on RVF in a thread about berlin -- is that the girls who have found me most attractive have been blondes. a spanish blond girl from barcelona, a blond girl from sweden, another blond spanish girl, a blonde from berlin.

i called it "opposites attract". in northern europe, i am exotic.

here: /thread-19139.html

at the same time, i was in warsaw for only a few days, and the girls are *so* damn polite and warm and feminine, wow. roosh is right. they are amazing. and he recently wrote that romanian girls might be even better than polish girls.

so it depends.

it also depends on you. what do you like to do? berlin, amsterdam, and stockholm are very cosmopolitan cities with a lot high culture, museums, galleries, that kind of thing. poland and the east are more provincial.

if you are an urban man like me -- i am an art director who lived in nyc for ten years -- then these big cosmopolitan centers have the types of chics who will probably be more attracted to you.

if you are more of a "small town" man, then go to provincial places.

Thanks for the gems guys. Based on your input, the following itineraries made sense:

Balkans - Zagreb, Sarajevo, Belgrade and Bucharest
European Union - Stockholm, Lyon and Wroclaw

Now I just need to figure out which is more appealing.
