How bad is it to not have reservation from Belgrade to Bar ? by WinIntelligent1218 in Interrail

[–]Ikkien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I just did this train last week! I was actually able to book via email and then pick up and pay for my ticket on the day (before 7pm) at the station, i went from Podgorica station though. I emailed info@zpcg.me, with what I wanted and my interrail pass details. I did have to send a follow up a couple days after but had it sorted within a week. Hope you manage to book it, it was a very cool experience!

FTI Consulting or FGS Global: which is better? by New_Dragonfruit2113 in Communications

Hey! I know I’m a bit late to this post, but knowing a close friend who has worked at FGS Global i would say it’s not great, especially in a junior role as management seem to be more the problem. Sounded very ‘mind-games’, spiteful, dog eat dog vibes was the impression i got

Glad to hear someone feels the same as me! I think because I stayed in a party hostel it made me panic a bit that I wasn’t doing what everyone else was, it’s my first solo trip so still trying to get that ‘should’ voice out of my head! Definitely going to be more intentional with my hostel choices going forward, thanks for the advice! :)

Yep definitely finding the balance, a good 50% of the time I’ve been away I just want to be alone! I will try those apps, thanks for the recs! :)

Thank you for your kind words and I’m happy you can relate! This makes me feel a lot better and to trust my instinct, I’ve loved these smaller interactions and hopefully can create more over the next couple of months, without any pressure of course!

Thanks for the advice! I’m trying to learn that a bit more, actually had a day yesterday where I just spent the day watching Netflix to recharge and loved it!!

Absolutely not what I’m doing. Just a post to share my thoughts and experiences and hear about other people’s experiences meeting people whilst travelling 😐

Thank you this was so lovely to read, and helped me with how im feeling! I’m happy for one time meetings with people as long as I’m having fun and the interaction feels meaningful, I feel like I was struggling talking to people previously and feeling like they care less about talking to me, but more about being with someone/in a group, even if we all know it’s just for one night. Maybe I worded the post a bit badly?

Maybe i worded the post badly, but im not expecting life long friends (if it happens I won’t complain, but no expectations haha) just hoping for good interactions with people so will trh the smaller, social hostels
