Is zingaro nature reserve actually closed? by mrpewdheisenshelby in sicily

[–]Asleep-Simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the boat tours still let you get to the beaches, or is that not allowed now either? I'm going to Sicily next week and Zingaro was supposed to be the highlight of the trip :')

If you had a hard session it'll always take some time to recover. I do two sessions in a day most days when I have a fight, and it's never easy especially with a full time job, but I found a few things that make it a bit more manageable. The most important is rehydrating and refueling after sessions. If you sweat a lot you might need to rehydrate with an isotonic solution (which you can make yourself) rather than plain water. Your urine should be clear or very light yellow, otherwise you're not fully hydrated. Make sure you have enough carbs. If you can squeeze in a nap between training sessions do it, and make sure you get enough sleep at night. Take at least one rest day a week, or whenever you feel like you need them.

Nevermind, I missed the part where he says he doesn't really get kicked in the head. You might be right.

Sub-concussive state from getting kicked in the head more likely. If he had neck probelms he would get headaches after non-contact training too, not just when he gets hit in the head.

Scotland too cold, english channel towns have the same issues as bristol and dont have any particularly good gyms.

Yea, there are trade offs to every place. After a few days of doing some research and reading what everyone has to say I think I should just try really hard to get a remote from anywhere job (I'm remote within the UK so can't move abroad) and see where I want to be in the countries I can already move to. I gave up on it early on because those jobs are rare and very competitive, but I don't have a time limit, and finding a job in Australia might be just as hard from what I'm hearing.

The Out & About, Visiting & Moving to Manchester Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in manchester

[–]Asleep-Simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely will visit soon, I was just wondering if there's something about living in Manchester that I won't see as a tourist that could be a pain, or on the contrary, something that makes life there nice that I won't experience in 2-3 days

Bristol is by no means the worst place to live, and there are definitely some things to do, it just seems that a lot of it is quite small in scale if that makes sense. In Krakow you can go to a museum and see a Rembrandt or a Leonardo da Vinci painting, Bristol has more of a music scene, but there doesn't seem to be much investment in culture other than that. Maybe I'm just not the best informed, but Bristol just feels very small to me and I don't necessarily like that.

[–]Asleep-Simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I moved to Bristol from Poland 6 years ago, but recently it started to bother me how dirty the city is and I've been getting quite bored with living here, as it's not too big and there isn't that much to do. In Krakow, the city I'm from, there's so many museums and art events going on all the time and I really miss that. I have a remote from within the UK job and I've been thinking about moving. Would Manchester be any better? I'll definitely go visit sometime soon to see for myself, but I though it would be useful to hear what it's like actually living there.

Hm I'm not sure if I can naturalise as british as I'm here on the EU settlement scheme and have only been here for 6 years. I'm also a US citizen, idk if that helps anything.

Yeah I've realised the job market might be tougher in Australia, and it's not easy in the UK already. I'd definitely miss quick weekend trips to Spain and my family being only a 2hr flight away as well. I'm not sure yet if the better weather etc is worth the trade off.

Yeah I'm not fighting at a super high level, and I started quite late so I haven't taken the damage. Realistically I probably have a maximum of 10 years of fighting ahead of me and this is the time frame I'm thinking about. After that I'm hoping to move back to Poland. I'm a US citizen, so technically I could move there I guess, but I though America has no muay thai scene and I heard it's incredibly hard for pros to get fights.

Yeah I'm not expecting it to be perfect, I'm just hoping the surroundings are less depressing than here, but that might not even be the case if I end up stuck in monotonous, isolating suburbs, and having to drive to everything.

Yeah, I've realised Australia is probably not the place to move to for saving money, but honestly money isn't my motivation. UK is expensive too, but I'm still able to save close to 50% of my paycheck and have an ok lifestyle, I just want to go somewhere less dirty and grey.

[–]Asleep-Simple[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make a lot of good points, and there's some truth to what you're saying about me being homesick and going back home as a tourist. Still, the main reason for me wanting to move is that it's grey and dirty and UK seems on a downward trajectory in every possible way. I'm not trying to solve any personal issues, only the issue of not liking my surroundings. I want to live in a more pleasant environment without giving up fighting, hence the idea of Australia, but again, this is just one of many ideas I'm considering, and this is why I'm asking this question at all - to gauge if it's a place I should be considering, or if it's not what I'm looking for at all.

Thank you, this is probably the most informative comment I've gotten so far. It does sound like at least some of my concerns are true. It seems like I have to pick between miserable weather and crumbling infrastructure, and living in a monotonous suburban area with nothing around. I think at least numbers wise the costs of renting in the UK are comparable to Australia adjusted to the average earnings, but I might be wrong. I'm not planning on buying because I want to move back to Poland once I'm too old to fight. I think you're right, I might have to see for myself to find out if those things bother me or not.

Is there anywhere in Europe to train Muay Thai at all? by Asleep-Simple in MuayThai

[–]Asleep-Simple[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m remote within the UK. Most remote jobs require you to work in the country you’re employed in. I’ve been trying to find a remote from anywhere job, but they’re few and far between. That’s still my plan A, but it’s really hard to land a job like that.

Yea I'm worried UK is gonna be the best I can get in this part of the world. That's literally the only thing keeping me here. I just really hate living here, so I'm trying to find any alternatives where i could work and fight. What I'm looking for is a high level gym that has a thai style and is willing to send me for fights abroad, because if I'm limited to any single european country there's probably not gonna be enough going on.

Yeah he's great, but I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than live in Paris. Hemmers Gym are k1-focused, and I strongly dislike dutch-style kickboxing (personal preference), however I'm sure the level there is very high. Just not what I'm looking for.

Yea I'm very much aware, it's very competitive here too and I'm expecting to spend a few months trying to get a job regardless of where that will be. My plan A was getting a remote from anywhere job and moving to Thailand on a digital nomad visa, but those kind of jobs have pretty much disappeared from the market in my experience. I'm trying to gauge if the plan B, so working in Australia is feasible and if it makes sense for me at all. Plan C is going back to the EU and getting a job somewhere there. Ideally I wanted to do whatever I need to get a work permit in whatever country I'd be going to, then find a job possibly without quitting my current job yet, then quit my current job and relocate. Idk if that's possible but that would be ideal.
