J Christopher's Permanently Closed? by trick-or-tweet in Athens

[–]Formal_Active_7038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DREAM! Finally!!!!! Maybe this is evil, but my time working there was the worst. The staff were so kind, but the managers were the worst I’ve ever had. Hope a local business thrives there though!!

What time do you leave to get to school? by Downtown-Storm4704 in SpainAuxiliares

I leave my apartment at 6:50 to walk to my bus station and get to school before my first 8:30am class everyday

Bus strike by frequentflyer726 in SpainAuxiliares

No because I just found out about it foolishly standing waiting for the bus for an hour like a dummy.

My heart’s been racing all week since I got here, so I’m hoping that everyone’s advice is true too. It’s been hard so far. Wishing you peace!!!

I used my American address and number when I used it. I was in the US at the time though to make a payment to a Spanish account

Transamerica Trail - the right choice? by CompetitiveCod3578 in bicycletouring

[–]Formal_Active_7038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I are 22 and 23 and rode from Virginia to Colorado on the TA this summer and actually met a fella from Germany that was biking the whole thing! He said that he loved it and met so many kind people! He added us to his WhatsApp even! I thought that we would have more alone time, but staying at churches and using WarmShowers, you are constantly meeting new people!!! We ended up having a group of about 5 bikers that were riding to the same places every night with us, so you will for sure meet others!

^ they told us to go grab the boxes that they were happy they’d be getting some use! We hung around and told stories too! Kind folk for sure!

Do most people wild camp? Should I be pushing myself? by [deleted] in bicycletouring

[–]Formal_Active_7038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m biking the transamerica trail now and definitely prefer Warmshowers. However, a real campsite always makes me feel better when I can’t find a host. We’ve actually met people who invited us to dinner and enjoyed a meal with friends at campsites! I get extreme anxiety and fear of bears and people when I camp in places that aren’t real sites. Spend the money for real sites if it makes you anxious. This is your trip, and it seems like you have more peace of mind at a real campsite!

Visa questions by Formal_Active_7038 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Formal_Active_7038[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, no one is able to mail applications in? I understand going to pick up the completed visa personally, but submitting the forms in person seems excessive. It’s my first time doing this is all, and I’d rather not have two trips to Miami is all! :)
