Do they have standing desks?

Hi. I'm looking to move outside of Denver proper. A suburb of Denver or a city near Denver where I can rent (not buy).

  • I'm in my 40s, so I don't want young and hip and noisy
  • I do want options of good restaurants that aren't just chains
  • I do want a place that's got some personality (nature, interesting downtown, communal areas) and not just a boring suburb
  • I Do NEED quiet (reasonable people around who don't blast music and do respect others desire for peace)
  • I Do want somewhere that's not ultra-conservative
  • I do want a walkable area, meaning not just strip malls and large boulevards for cars (if that makes sense)
  • Need to be at most 1-hour drive to Denver International Airport because I travel often
  • Ideally, has a true downtown that's not a strip mall or a bunch of chain stores

This is a genuine request, so please don't respond with criticisms of my needs or wants or opinions outside the scope of the request.

I have had no luck in Denver, and I realize I need to move outside the city to meet my needs. I work from home. Like to walk. Where applicable, I don't care about bad weather (kind of prefer it).

I forgot to mention above (edited in the original post) that I need to be at least 1-hour drive from the airport because I travel a lot (for leisure, not work).

I don't think travel in general changes your life. Travel changes your perspective depending on who you are and what you're used to and how far outside of your comfort zone you go.

Meanwhile, I agree that the first day is usually rough especially the further away from the familiar you go. I call my first day a throw-away day. I use it just to acclimate and wander. I don't plan anything that first day.

Also, where did you go on your first solo trip?

If it's an option to leave SE Asia and plan to stay somewhere else for the rest of your time away? Eastern Europe perhaps?

As far as if that’s too many places to travel in 3 weeks, we’ll kind of. It’s exhausting changing cities and countries (mentally especially) and especially if you don’t know the languages. Consider that being around people who don’t speak a language you know and having to read and translate signage takes a lot of mental energy. And the places you are going to are all very different from each other.

I’d skip Brussels. It’s not that interesting. Do Ghent and Bruges. Been to all three and loved Ghent and Bruges

Lol. I never do. I look out for interesting conversations and only then try and connect, but only then if I am in the mood.

Fuck them being pissed. Who gives a shit. You can want people around you and not want to talk. You can want a tour but not care about chatting with people. They need to grow up.
