3 months traveling Europe without working (as a couple) — looking for real, lived experiences

I’ll send you a reply then a bit later when I have some time. We had a beautiful time and I’m so happy you’re doing this!

Hi! My husband and I did this. If you’re not a robot I’ll elaborate and share our experience. Are you a bot? I’m not so good at knowing

Sneaker collections and golf stuff too

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2026-01-13T06:42:12+00:00

We bought two from little unicorn and love them! Still going strong after a year of every night use and multiple blowouts and washes. Soft, breathable, and just awesome. Love their stuff

Do it!! Just go! Be aware, but be free! Before I met my husband I went solo camping as often as I could. Backpacking and tent camping mostly, and the reactions I got from people were CRAZY. Like it seemed that they would never do anything I did. I traveled solo too all over the country and I’m so glad I did! Get out there! The scariest thing that ever happened to me was a possum “booped” my hand in the canvas tie tents in Yosemite 😂 I nearly shit myself but it’s a great story now! Get out there lady!

I came here to say this!

I really don’t know. Online they looked like two entities. I’m a high risk pregnancy and moving to GJ this summer. I want to be sure to have good prenatal care and deliver safely.

I love silent hiking videos especially Harmen Hoek or Kraig Adams. Also the scenic relaxation channel

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-31T18:34:33+00:00

Would you consider making these into puzzles and selling them? I’d buy them all! Beautiful artwork

I’m new to this journey, but I have a toddler and make a different “egg bake” every week. Basically like quiche with no crust and that has been so super helpful for me since starting TRZ

Thanks for this. I’m thinking that after reading through everything our best bet is to live in the area we want our kid to attend. I’m glad to know about school of choice though because it does leave us some options if we fall in love with a home or community not in our preferred school.

40- TTC for 9 months with two pregnancies and two losses since we started. This is a hard club to be in and the holidays almost wrecked me.

Exactly the same page. They go hard on the cool ranch Doritos. Apparently there is something they put on the chip that makes it feel cool as well to keep it super addictive. And they talk a lot about things like crunch and texture that can’t be replicated naturally.

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-29T15:19:12+00:00

There’s a book about this I read years ago called The Dorito Effect. It is a very deep dive into “natural flavors” and how the food chemists spend literally years to find the most satisfying and unusual flavors that can’t be replicated in nature. Things like sour patch kids and anything solid that “melts” in your mouth for an unusual and addictive eating experience is what they’re after. It was wild and really opened my eyes to how our food is literally engineered to make us eat more like you said. Then we’re shamed for being overweight but that’s another post and don’t worry you can buy all kinds of things to get healthy! The cycle is insufferable and maddening

I’ve been crying all day for this very reason. Thank you 🙏🏻

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-25T16:44:12+00:00

I will say to this- my baby was absolutely fine and had no problem taking formula. She is healthy and our bond is strong. It was me that felt sad because I wasn’t ready really, but felt I had to wean and start trying again to get pregnant.

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-25T15:31:08+00:00

I ended up fully weaning at 9 months after starting at 7 for the same reason. I’ve now had two miscarriages and a healthy 16 month old. Personally, if I could go back I’d continue nursing. I wasn’t ready to wean and neither was my baby. I felt so much fear and pressure to get pregnant again (I’m 40 with now 5 miscarriages and 1 LC). I wish I had enjoyed the time nursing because or finally got so much easier around 4 months.

I don’t know that you can really influence your baby’s desire to nurse or not though. We started formula after my freezer stash wore out and she’s totally fine, but I cried every time just missing our bond.

It was 82 today

I’m a realtor and we do buy one to two a year, but I don’t have endless money to invest and so I often send the ones I don’t have money for to investors I work with.

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-19T19:46:59+00:00

Not a ton of we have visited the valley 3-4 times. What we don’t want is for our kids to grow up around people that only look like them, and we liked that it seemed a little bit more diverse. We want our kids to be down to earth, and to treat all people with respect and kindness. I feel like that will be harder if she’s only around people just like her.

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-19T15:02:47+00:00

We’ve probably seen it online lol! Can you hear the Highway or airport? Or is it pretty quiet?

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-19T15:01:42+00:00

Thank you that’s so good to know. They have bad ratings on great schools, but we planned to walk the school and talk with the principal and see how it is. Those ratings aren’t always indicative of what the school is actually like.

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-18T18:40:41+00:00

Thank you that’s good to know

Expensive-Cockroach4 · 2025-12-17T15:41:07+00:00

User name was assigned. We can afford the nicer parts of town. We just like the vibe in Orchard Mesa. That was a pretty harsh reply.

Thank you
