I'm living in Africa (US Peace Corps Service) August 2010 through Sept / Oct. 2012. Afterwards, I'm going to be leaving with a decent amount of travel money. So, I want to travel afterwards (November 2012 - February 2013). I've only really been to Canada (Montreal - great psyscene) and Uganda (ha! - no comment) - I'm from the US, New York City PsyScene. I realize this is next year - but where would you recommend to travel to with good parties around that time of year? Where would you recommend to travel in general for good parties, good people, good vibes and good trance travel?
Also, we could make this a thread about Trancing countries [Yes, I used search]. Which countries have a decent psytrance scene - parties at least once a month?
Things I'm considering:
- Making my money last - I could travel to Europe and spend a month or I could go to SE Asia and spend three months. Plus, plane tickets are expensive.
- Weather - no outdoor parties in the winter.
- I will be traveling alone (most likely) - my volunteer friends don't like psytrance and have no interest in going to a party (they still think it's called sike-trance after 1.5 years lol :-P).
- I want to travel to see different parties, but I also want to see the world, after all parties are on the weekends - the rest of the week will be for touring.
Thinking About:
- Asia -- India (Goa / Western / Northern), Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.
- Central - South America (Costa Rica, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil)
- Europe - EuroRail pass from $600 - $900 for 1 - 2 months all countries. [Which countries have good psyscenes in Europe besides Germany?]
- Australia (Solar Eclipse Festival 2012 - visit Australia for a short period of time, than fly somewhere less expensive]
Also, I will be traveling alone since I've never met anyone outside of trance parties that likes/can tolerate psytrance.. which I'm a bit nervous about. Is it easy to meet cool people traveling alone? Have you ever traveled alone? Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks! I'm really excited about it, even though it's a ways away.
Sorry Mods. I posted in the travel section but no one reads that one!  |

Go Asia!
Or Brazil. Central america is NOT good for psytrance parties. There might be some but not alot.
Thailand and India are alot better money, weather and party wise.

I'm looking at Thailand and India as possible destinations now that I have finished university. Yes, Ektoplazm is likely to be moving soon! At the very least I hope to be passing through sometime soon... but I'm also looking for a new home base. If anyone has hookups for DJ residencies, paying gigs, or comfortable places to stay, let me know exploring my options now...

Goa would be a good place to move. There are many parties that keep happening across India. Plus you could even travel to Nepal as there are some good festivals which keep happening. Plus the stay in Goa wouldn't be that expensive.
Also what do you mean Ektoplazm is moving.

Thanks guys I'm really leaning towards Asia with a stopover in the Mid-East or Moscow somewhere based on the cheapness of the plane tickets and looking where I would have to transfer flights anyway to fly into Goa / India. But South America is a viable option too. I mean the Ritual Alien party in Buenos Aires coming up - the lineup is ridiculous:
Kindzadza (Osom Music)
Furious (Osom Music)
Megalopsy (Dark Prisma)
Quantum Mechanica (Dark Prisma)
Pandora's Box (Dark Prisma)
Prisma (Dark Prisma)
Invid Mind (Alkhimia)
I wouldn't mind that!!

If you go to S.E Asia def. check out Malaysia. They have a little dark psy scene running in Kuala Lumpur.
It's a good country in that you get awesome food very cheap, accommodation is very cheap for good quality places, travel within the country is cheap and the people are a good mix.
I've been to Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand etc. many times as well as Malaysia and Malaysia is my no.1 choice for all thing S.E Asia
I hate you, you hate me, we are all so hap hap happy! |
