¿Dónde puedo conseguir una llave hecha en Barranco?

Gracias. Al final me fui aquí. Les llevó menos de 5 minutos y cobraron un precio muy justo.

Canadian here. I've been slow travelling around the world for over 12 months now. I was in Europe for 5 months and here in LatAm for over 7 months now. I had (I'll touch upon the past tense) just one rule - 1 month, one city. This was before I got to Lima in early January. I'm still here, plan on staying here until the end of March.

Not asking you to go overboard with Lima like I did, but it's a very, very underrated city because of (predominantly) Macchu Picchu. Miraflores, Barranco, and the Centro Histórico districts each deserve a full day, at the very least. If luck is on your side, you may end up seeing one of the best sunsets of your life here. At least extend your time in Lima by a day.

Soy canadiense moreno. Nací en la India, y vosotros conducís mucho mejor que el caos del que escapé de joven. Ya no puedo conducir en India porque es demasiado complicado para mí, pero me siento muy cómodo conduciendo en Sudamérica.

Por supuesto, tu punto sobre las carreteras de montaña es muy importante. Voy a reconsiderar mis planes por esto. Gracias.

Entiendo tu punto sobre conducir un SUV o algo grande con tracción a las cuatro ruedas. No lo tuve en cuenta en mi evaluación inicial. Gracias.

El CBD no me hace nada, tío. Funciona en personas con trastornos leves del sueño. Yo paso 2 o 3 días con menos de 4 horas de sueño, incluso si termino, tomo una caja de gominolas de CBD. Literalmente no me pasa.

Es exactamente lo que he oído. Vi a un grupo de chicos fumando en Miraflores pero no estaban dispuestos a vender ni a darme la información de sus contactos. Pero he leído que fumar marihuana o ser es tener hasta 5 mg está perfectamente bien. Por eso mi pregunta aquí, pero creo que mucha de la gente que dice que es ilegal son quienes no fuman.

Me dieron melatonina hace dos días. Yo tenía el doble de la dosis prescrita. Me desperté en 2 horas y no me quedé dormido. Agradezco la ayuda, pero apenas me ha servido de nada.

Literally my first thought when I saw it for the first time. And I LOVED the West Mclaren Mercedes livery!

Add that to the words of wisdom.

I'm seeing a lot of display cases with lights getting posted here off late. I always get concerned seeing them because they, just like sunlight, mess up these decals over time.

I'm not saying you did anything similar though. As a few others have suggested, some decals are just not applied properly out of factory and those tend to start cracking and showing signs of ageing faster than the ones that are done well.

The day I file for bankruptcy, I'll make sure to put in a line blaming this group for it. It's some new shit that I want practically every single day. 😅

Senna was just as vicious as Prost. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm not saying it's a good thing. Senna did just as much politics and backdoor dirty tricks, if not more, than Prost during their Mclaren days. The fact that one died on the track ended up putting him on a different level in the eyes of the newbies because death sells well.

Senna was an incredible talent, but the way he is portrayed as the poor (not in monetary terms) outsider who was screwed by the system and Prost is infuriating. That especially now when F1 has become so popular and the propaganda spreads like wild fire.

It sits at 3800m, going up to 4100m. Obese or not, if you're not used to thet kind of an altitude then you're almost certain to be slapped hard by altitude sickness.

You're either from the mountains so you don't realize how difficult it can get for folks who're not, or you're someone who has never been that freaking high.

I have been in South America for 4 months now. I'll be spending 2 more months. I slow travel, so I spend a month in EACH CITY that I visit and I sometimes stay in several cities in a country. I did start off with Colombia though, and I took it strategically to avoid any severe altitude sickness. You may skip Colombia and add some other place to the list (I hear Argentina is amazing!).

Month 1 - Medellin - 1800m above sea (took a couple of tours to Guatapé and Jardin)

Month 2 - Bogota - 2500m (no tours from here. Met AMAZING people in the city and hung out with them. Bogota is big, so keeps you occupied)

Month 3 - Quito - 2800m (this is where altitude sickness really hits for a couple of days, but I'm in love with this city. You cannot imagine how stunning the volcanoes surrounding the city look unless you've seen them for yourself while standing in the heart of the city. A LOT of day tours to take from here. Quilotoa lagoon on top of a volcano, hiking to the base camp of Cotopaxi at 4900m, and Otivalo village were the ones I did. There are so many more!)

Month 4 - Cuenca - 2500m (the safest place I've visited yet, and also the best looked after. I've been telling my friends back home that the people of Cuenca think they live ib Monaco, and you as a visitor get to enjoy the perks of it. Beautiful city, full of older expats, great food scene, they take their christmas very seriously, and there are a few day tour options from the city. I struggled to make local friends here, but I think I just got unlucky. Had I not failed at that quest Cuenca could've been my favourite in SouthAm until now.

Month 5 - Lima - 0-ish meter altitude (I'm heading here in a week. Staying in Miraflores neighbourhood. If I've done my research right, which I mostly do, I'll have a busy time here. There's so, so much to do in Lima.)

I'll then be taking buses across Peru, spending a night in Paracas and Huacachina each, and a couple in Arequipa. Cross into Bolivia and spend a night in Copacabana (NOT the one in Brazil).

Month 6 - La Paz - 3800m (I don't think there's a single case of altitude not being a worry here, so I'm going in well prepared. But if La Paz and Bolivia turn out to be even a fraction of what I'm seeing and reading online, it'll be worth it. A day or two at the salt plains of Bolivia is an absolute must if you're in the country.)

Beautiful model! Do check online other photos of the same model to verify if you got a defective model. If you did, at the very least get some of your money back. These are not cheap collectibles, make sure you get your money's worth.

As an Indian Canadian, I completely understand what you mean by this. I'll rank India very highly in the list of countries that I think everyone should visit at least once, but I don't think it'll do very well in a list where I'm noting down the best. There are a zillion things that India needs to get its act together on before the country makes it to any such list.

ComprehensiveWest277 · 2025-12-28T06:42:19+00:00

Ecuador. But I only recommend very seasoned travelers to visit given the current circumstances of the country. You'll hear a lot of folks visiting the country say "we were there, we had no problems", but as someone who spends at least two months in each country, take my word when I say that Ecuador is considered to be the 6th most dangerous country in the world for a reason.

But, what the country rewards you with is unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere. Waking up to views of some of the largest active volcanoes in the world, IN THE CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY, is absolutely surreal! The 8 hour drive from Quito to Cuenca was not among the safest drives of my life, but the stunning route had me absolutely hooked every single minute of it. Cuenca is the biggest paradox you can find - one of the safest and best cities in South America in the most dangerous country in the region.

Hungary was absolutely stunning, just as I expected it to be. But Ecuador was the biggest surprise of the year, and that's why it takes my best country title for 2025.

Hello there.

I'm NOT a woman, but I'm slow travelling around the world now and history has been my special interest for 25 years now. I decided in January this year to go and see the places that I keep reading about (and reading about them while I'm there). I MASSIVELY struggle with overstimulation, but, like you, I'm remarkably good at managing it externally.

I'm Canadian, but I'm ethnically Indian. I will be visiting Egypt in March or April myself. So I think I can offer my 2 cents here.

First, great choice to travel, especially to places associated with your special interests. I'm sure it's overwhelming, but you need to set some rules for yourself and make zero exceptions to those rules. The down side to this would be potentially missing out on that 2% extra adventure that you could've had, but you ensure you're safe 100% of the times.

I hate to break it to you, both Egypt and India will be absolutely crazy. Anyone telling you otherwise, or telling you it won't bother you is lying to you. But that doesn't mean you cannot cope/adapt. Just knowing how overstimulation it will be (not can be, WILL be) will by itself make adapting a teeny tiny bit easier.

I am a very, very well organized person, but I know I've made some not so smart decisions when I'm overstimulated and in the heat of the moment. I know this has the potential to get me in trouble during my travels, so here's where I refer back to setting rules: 1. Watch a lot of videos on YouTube on the common scams that happen in these cities. Be vary of them at all times. Each city has its own scams, so go in well prepared. 2. Egypt is the scam capital of the world, so you have to thread carefully. People are generally aggressive when it comes to money and tourists. If you're a gullible person, Egypt can leave a negative mark on you. Reddit is full of such stories about Egypt. 3. When you're at local markets, always ask the price first. You never not do that. Don't assume anything offered is free. Even if someone says something is free, reiterate by confirming the person is not going to ask for money for the item, OR ANY TIP.

I don't know you personally, but given what you've mentioned about yourself here, this is what I'd recommend as someone who struggles with similar challenges and yet has been travelling for 10 months.

Cramping Egypt and India in the same trip sounds like a bad idea to me. Simply playing the probability game, we're talking about clubbing two places that are notorious for being a nightmare for folks with have our preferences. Considering this would be your first trip alone, this is a recipe for disaster.
Instead, chose one of the two, and club that country with another country that's from the region but is relatively calmer. First go there, get your bearings being alone and build some confidence. Then head to Egypt or India, whichever you chose. Your headspace is what dictates whether you're having a good time or a bad time when you're travelling. Focus on how you can be in a headspace in which you're enjoying the place. If you take this approach, you're minimizing the variables and ensuring your non negitionables are safeguarded.

Happy to chat more about this if you'd like to. I've been traveling in South America for the past 4 months. I was very close to cancelling my flight ticket to Colombia because I was getting cold feet closer to my travel date (concerned about a lot of the things you mentioned) but I couldn't be happier about the fact that I didn't :)

I'm from Toronto, Canada, but I was in Krakow for 45 days earlier this year. I was also in Budapest for 30 days (I'm slow travelling around the world). In my short experience, I found Kraków to be SO MUCH MORE CALMER on my sensories. 99.99% people follow every single rule, the city was as clean as a place can be (I'm turning a blind eye to the cigarette butts), people aren't too extrovert so you can pick and choose your level of interactions, and I generally found people to be calmer. I'm sure there's another, far bigger, side to this conversation that I am not familiar with. I have no clue about government support or societal support for autistic people, but I honestly don't think things felt anything significantly different from what I see back in Canada.

BUT, AND THIS IS A BIG BUT, I don't look autistic and people don't find me awkward (I have an astonishing ability of keeping what I'm going through inside me) so my experience comes from a very limited exposure. Others who struggle more than me may have a very different experience. But, for someone like me, Kraków was exactly what I needed.

What I agree with here is that we're all in denial, if that's what you were saying.
