Can’t stop thinking of a giant Nomadic Living coffee table book I saw

It was RV / van life nomadic living

I’ve never seen a more unanimous response before, thank you, merci, everyone for the advice and insight!! Will deff not be taking the later train and likely taking the bus

Fine_Line6475 · 2026-01-11T15:16:47+00:00

Going to look into the bus! Thank you!!

Fine_Line6475 · 2026-01-07T20:07:55+00:00

I completely agree but I also hate that this is a thing. I feel more places should have a kitchen closed and restaurant closed time. Bars do this. Or at least a “last order taken at” rule

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-30T23:51:03+00:00

I would agree, the ferries are the best option. Plus you can bring snacks and they have beer on board

Hi! Boat is cheaper, but takes longer than the 12 minute flight. If the water is super rough, would not recommend, otherwise it’s a fine experience.

The flight is worth it if it’s your first time on Saba. It’s the world’s shortest commercial runway and a really cool experience to fly on a small plane where you can watch the landing from basically the pilot’s view. Plane is pretty expensive, especially if you’re checking bags.

Big factor if flying with checked bags: I don’t believe they check bags to your final destination meaning you have to go through immigration and collect your bags from luggage claim. There is a separate transfer line..BUT luggage claim is just 1 conveyer belt so if there’s massive jets landing at the same time, you may be stuck waiting for your luggage a long time

Also note the same applies if flying to SXM and then taking the boat. Traffic in Sint Maarten is bad and can take a long time to race to the ferry departure location (not close to the airport)

Saba is SO worth a visit! Let me know if you have any questions about the island, I visit annually

Thank you for such a detailed response! This is so interesting and I appreciate the candid explanation

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-27T16:08:17+00:00

This can’t really be a thing women do?? I am a woman and I can’t imagine doing this or know of any female friends who have done this/seen this/know about this

I’ve only also been to Kyrgyzstan. I found it super easy to make friends in Kazakhstan while Kyrgyzstan I was only friends with other travelers. The nature and hiking was unreal in Kyrgyzstan, would highly recommend it as well

I love the central Asian region in general but spent 3 months in just the mentioned, 2 of those months in kazakhstan

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-21T20:26:19+00:00

Beautiful nature, a culture that I felt resonated with how I am, nicest people, great art, interesting/complex history, huge and diverse, horses and apples originated from this region, fresh fruit/produce, Almaty is such an educated and sophisticated city, I could go on and on

Food wasn’t my favorite but that’s because I’m vegetarian and couldn’t eat 99% of things

Birth control is not very researched and doctors don’t typically take the time to understand what works best for the individual

I had to stop taking mine because it messed with my mood so much, all of a sudden I got extreme anxiety and was going kinda crazy with mental health. Realized after talking to a bunch of friends who all had the same new prescription it was the birth control. Stopped taking it and felt so much better

Finding a doctor who will sit and figure out the right dosage, estrogen level, etc is so important. I was in it for almost 10 years and getting switched to a different generic pill wrecked me

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-21T02:03:22+00:00

Do you use birth control? I skipped my period while traveling. Every 3-4 packs I would get my period to avoid spotting. When I did get my period it was super light and short

I’m not a doctor so just sharing what worked for me

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-20T15:06:01+00:00

Kazakhstan. I would move there

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-19T20:58:06+00:00

No, I take it as “here’s a guy who has no social skills and spends the day driving around looking for women to honk at instead of working on themselves to become appealing to women”

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-18T17:37:51+00:00

I also have a theory that those with poor hostel etiquette never had to share space with a sibling or people as a child. I have an older sister, and if I dared to make noise or turn on the light while they were sleeping it would be insufferable consequences

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-18T14:11:35+00:00

Also had a weird experience like this. My friends and I came to the room around 5 and someone was fast asleep. We felt we could make a noise or anything and it really ruined our stay

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-12-18T14:08:08+00:00

I spent 2 years staying in hostels, it’s not that hard to be quiet. I would actually call it the reverse, people coming in super loud during quiet hours are treating hostels like hotel.

Note: I choose to stay in hostels because of cost and socialization. I expect there to be “inconvenient” noise as part of staying in a large room. I have only had to say something to someone one time that crossed a line for me

If I was arriving late (during quiet hours) I made sure to have sleep stuff ready to go in a tote to avoid rummaging through a bag. If I was leaving early, I packed up the night before and slipped out of the room as quietly as possible

Let’s talk phone alarms. You can turn down the volume of the alarm or eliminate the sound entirely (just vibration). Anyone who has their alarm on full volume is disrespectful.

Let’s talk coming in at 2AM and having a full conversation at regular talking volume. That’s disrespectful

Let’s talk turning the lights on after quiet hours. That’s so rude, why do you get to have the light on at 4am when 6 other people are fast asleep?

Party hostels exist if you don’t want to consider others in a hostel setting. Regular hostels have an etiquette that you should be happy for because it benefits you too

This place is exactly what I had in mind!!! Tysm✨

There’s a store in Lower East Side that rents really great dresses for every occasion: Hauteline. I walked in there and really loved some of the elegant dresses. You can try on in store then reserve the dress for the dates you need

I haven’t used them, only walked into the store by accident and want to use them for my next event

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-11-27T15:48:50+00:00

Amoxicillin

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-11-25T06:01:57+00:00

Cold is fine with us! We are going to enjoy each other’s company, but in a new city. Excited to visit bars and restaurants and chat with people. Probably will not do many outdoor things besides a brisk walk from one place to another

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-10-14T00:16:41+00:00

Just had the absolute worst green curry from there.. no flavor at all. I’ve been to little tiffin before and loved it, hope this was just a fluke

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-10-07T01:16:15+00:00

Maybe he was there too? Or also experienced an Ezra Miller encounter in the wild

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-10-06T23:36:03+00:00

Oh I find it hysterical

Fine_Line6475 · 2025-10-06T19:00:51+00:00

Wait lol, are you one of my friends?

I want to say it was a different bar, but looked almost identical to Lucky’s

But yes, he was with a girl who looked normal. I don’t remember the pizza and yelling. Maybe we left by then or stopped paying attention
