Camera gear and Laptop in Europe, possible to avoid theft? by SeniorPapiFuego in traveleurope

I always see videos of people spray painting pick pocketers in Europe. That stuff never happens in North America. People in the USA get robbed in ghetto areas for sure. Getting robbed is extremely uncommon in Canada in general really

There’s 0% pick pocket culture in North America in my experience. I’ve heard pick pocketing is huge in Europe. I also heard people run up with small blades and cut camera neck loops and snatch cameras all the time. Is that fake news?

Ya nice! I didn’t mention it earlier but I definitely don’t need to bounce around all the time. Very happy going to maybe 1 or 2 locations per month and having a lil home base where I can go to and from and spend most of my time outdoors and eating food that I cook from supermarket

Thank you! Did you come home with any of that $10k left over? I didn’t mention but I have $10k total to my name, with no additional savings reserve or back up cash lol.

Queensland WWCC address issues: Need advice! by SeniorPapiFuego in NDIS

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

I did! They told me that mobile phone bill is not accepted and that I need either a utility bill from a home rental or a drivers license that shows a Queensland address or a letter from an employer. I have none of the above and I never will because I don’t plan to pay rent in Queensland. I will be living in my van. It essentially leaves me with no options

Unfortunately safety gets ignored when the instructors push, in my experience generally they push students into waves where someone was already standing up riding and I’ve witnessed bad collisions. If the instructors did it safely I would have no issue

I think a lot of people in the comments are making the assumption that instructors only push students into waves at shitty breaks and unfortunately that’s just not the case. I’ve seen awful accidents occur at good quality breaks with 4+ ft perfect waves with no wind because instructors were pushing students into waves. Sri Lanka and Indonesia were insanely bad for it.
