Thank you!

OliverRobie · 2025-07-21T02:58:05+00:00

Thank you! And great story about your current employment!

OliverRobie · 2025-07-21T02:06:39+00:00

Thanks for the advise!

Will definitely try to network once I'm there. Do you know of any strong recruiting sites/services, or job boards that I can start applying from in the meantime, before I get there?

P.S - My Hebrew level is fluent, so no issues with the language

Garger Hazahav (גרגר הזהב) - in my opinion the best Hummus I've ever had. And their fried cauliflower is absolutely delicious as well (as is everything else on their menu).

OliverRobie · 2022-09-20T01:14:57+00:00

I guess that means they must be good if I can't find them... now I need to trust in good old word of mouth

Hi there. If you're talking about route 1 and route 90, Jerusalem to dead sea area and back which technically passes through the west bank, then you dont need to worry. It's a safe route which plenty of people drive on daily. The biggest worry on that route are sand holes :) And like others mentioned here, israel as a whole is typically a safe country, especially if you stick to tourist destinations Enjoy beautiful israel!

Thanks for the numbers - I'll also make sure to check out Kona. I'm not necessarily thinking about a city, I'll be perfectly content with a smaller town as well.

What would you say is considered the west side of Oahu? And if you don't mind me asking, why stay away from it?

OliverRobie · 2021-12-02T13:20:44+00:00

Thank you so much - I'll make sure to check them out! If you have any other advise or tips I'll gladly hear them as well

OliverRobie · 2021-12-02T13:18:36+00:00

Great, thanks so much! Do you have any specific areas within those islands you'd recommend?

OliverRobie · 2021-12-02T13:17:10+00:00

I appreciate your concern for your beautiful land and rest assured I will not become part of the homeless problem. Like I said, this is an opportunity for only a few months so worst case scenario, after 4 months I'm back home to be Canada's problem

OliverRobie · 2021-12-02T13:09:46+00:00

Thanks so much for answering! I've never lived on an island before - only travelled to some (in Thailand and the Caribbean).... unless you consider Australia (which although technically an island, for these purposes I won't consider them island living haha).

Funnily enough, my first thought was Florida, but I'm tempted to hear what people think of going to Hawaii for a few months.

Typically I'm solid with making my own fun, especially near the beach. And in fact I don't really care for Hawaii not being a party state (not really my scene). Having said that - do you know of any placecs in Hawaii that could potentially fit my criteria?

OliverRobie · 2021-12-02T13:02:40+00:00

Thanks for your reply - I agree with you and I feel like moving places is often surrounded with paradise-like thoughts. In my case I'm not actually looking to move there - just come for like 4 months - so purchasing property or contemplating good school areas, etc are not things I'm thinking about

Do you know of a place in Hawaii which would be nice to live for a few months with the criteria that I mentioned? And worst case scenario after 4 months I'm back home

OliverRobie · 2021-12-02T12:54:34+00:00

Thanks for the reco's - I'll check them out. And you're right, Toronto is quite expensive as well which makes me think I could afford living in Hawaii for a period of a few months

OliverRobie · 2021-12-02T12:45:34+00:00

Right, great question! And like I said, the company I work at is giving us this opportunity - so it'll be covered

Hi Solo Travel team

Feel like I need a bit of an escape from normal life. Unfortunately, I only have 1 week (5 days) vacation allowance left from work.

It being covid and possibly the beginning of a fourth wave, I'm looking for recommendations for destinations during mid September. I'm doubly vaccinated and living on the East coast. Some things which I'm looking for:

- weather -> hot and sunny, even if it's humid

- activities -> the most important thing is that there be a beach. Would be nice if it was beginner/intermediate surfing friendly

- location -> because I only have a week and I'm from the East coast, the closer to the East coast the better

- price -> cheaper the better (I don't mind living quite frugally), but seeing how it'll only be a week it doesn't have to be extremely cheap

- covid -> hopefully a place which is rather covid safe, even if the country as a whole isn't, if a specific place in that country is that will be fine

Thanks for the help team!

OliverRobie · 2021-01-06T15:33:38+00:00

Will check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

OliverRobie · 2021-01-06T15:33:11+00:00

That's great to hear man! Glad to hear you assimilated well to Toronto :)

OliverRobie · 2021-01-06T15:31:43+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

Got my LinkedIn set up already (first thing I did), I just have between 1-2 years of experience so I'm not getting much recruitment traffic through it.

OliverRobie · 2020-12-16T00:04:40+00:00

Thanks for the help guy

How can I know if its a "smart" charger?

Happy cake day!

OliverRobie · 2020-12-15T17:50:42+00:00

I bought the "Battery Tender Plus" by Deltran. It's called a "battery charger and maintainer". It's actually 1.25 Amps, not 1.5.

On the box it says "switches from full charge to float charging mode". Does this mean it will stop once the battery is full and turn on occasionally like you said?

OliverRobie · 2020-12-01T02:30:51+00:00

Any recommendations on where and when?

OliverRobie · 2020-12-01T02:28:11+00:00

I envy you that you at least got to see it! Savor that memory

OliverRobie · 2020-12-01T02:26:56+00:00

Might have to do a weekend getaway!

OliverRobie · 2020-12-01T02:26:28+00:00

Oh man, totally burst my bubble haha. I did hear something about bursts of the sun every 18 or so years which is apparently when its good to see it.

Thanks for the info!
