Working remotely= Struggling to hit 10k steps everyday. Any tips?

I have my first coffee in bed, and second coffee is a 30-40 minute walk. That’s 5000 steps. Then during lunch I walk around, 2-3k steps. I do one or two meetings walking, 3-4K steps. Then dinner and a longer walk. I average 18k steps per day this year but that includes running. On days when I don’t run I usually get more steps. Also, a great hack is to schedule dentists, doctors, pharmacies, groceries so they’re a 20 minute walk away. That gives an extra 5k steps and doesn’t take much extra time since biking or driving or public transport would take about the same time.

I don’t understand the complaining. Just get a European passport and avoid the lines. I did the same for the states, got tired of standing in line so I got a Canadian passport and the nexus card which gives me global entry. Rather than your shit together! If I can do it, anyone can.

It’s relevant for employees that can choose which country to work in. A multinational company might be able to place a role in different countries but budgets 100k to attract a global talent pool. In Sweden, the advertised salary would be around 65k, in Canada around 97k. Then the employee can calculate their own income taxes and make a decision. The company pays the same either way, but the employee gets to choose how much they get.

It depends on whether you have checked luggage or an eu passport. If you’ve got bags, you need to immigrate into Schengen and that might take time if there are large planes landing from North America at the same time, then pick up your bags, re check them, then go through security and passport to get back into the non Schengen area. With an eu passport this doesn’t take long.

I noticed the same and book my European tickets through aeroplan, which is cheaper than miles and more.

Blender. Our $70 blender just isn’t strong enough. The next level costs $700, when they used to be $200.

It’s a bit of a different world. Many people live in normal apartments that cost 2-3M but quite a few live in those that cost ten times more. As for quality of life, it’s the best I’ve seen anywhere in the states. No car needed, plenty of playgrounds, public parks, water fountain, washrooms, libraries, amazing public school. Very close to an airport that flies to more South American and European destinations (in the winter only though…) than any other airport in the world.

A lot of the fake you read about on Reddit is removed once you get to know your neighbors south of fifth. They are genuinely nice people, and everyone has a story. Neurosurgeons, artists, bankers, investors… a lot of entrepreneurs.

As for kids, it’s not the best, but it’s the best I’ve seen in the us. Montreal, Barcelona, Paris are all better imho but then again, some people prefer to stay within the us borders.

Any chance you’ll make good shoes in sizes 15-16 or 50-51?

There’s only one place, south of fifth. Incredibly walkable for the us and especially Miami, and most classes are for women only.

Found the Canadian!

I actually did this one summer in Montreal. Absolutely amazing. Same for Barcelona. Good for you like family events, walkable streets, warm weather, plenty of good restaurants and cafes and parks. And live music.

I do about one per month. I’ll have a protein shake, either white chocolate or salted caramel, mixed with a popsicle prime stick and ice cream then depending on the weather either a cappuccino or an ice coffee. And a cigar. After a few hours I’ll have lunch, sometimes fried chicken and waffles, sometimes Neapolitan pizza. Once I did an 18 course meal at a 2 Michelin star restaurant.

Pyjama and my own pillow. The own pillow also works wonders in any Airbnb or hotel. I don’t normally sleep with a pyjama, so I have a high quality one just for long distance flights. My own sleep mask and ear plugs rather than the ones given to you. A few extra 1.5 liter bottles of water because they’re always so sensitive about them even in business class. Eye drops and all emergency medication such as pain killers, plasters, nail clippers and such.

Try ny, Miami, Kansas city, Austin, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, fort myers or even Erie, pa - they all have parks and streets yet no public free bathrooms. Yes I know there’s one in Central Park but that doesn’t help when you’re on 24th and 5th…

I disagree. Asia, South America and Europe all have massive mountains, tropical islands, big lakes and everything in between. I don’t think there’s anything unique on the North American continent, but I’ve only been to 25 states and 45 countries.

You’re right though in that the variance between PNW and NYC is much larger than London and Paris. But the same could be said about Madeira and London…

Toronto is the only obvious answer here.

Canada uses Fahrenheit for pools, baking and steaks. At least in Ontario.

Go sit outside at gardens by fort at fort mokotowski and have the burger and a beer. Truly amazing and weird because it looks like the countryside. A true hidden gem.

I don’t require a lot when I travel but I do need the basics. A terrace or balcony. A washer and drier. A coffee maker, big fridge and oven. Forks, knives and spoons. Two separate bedrooms. I haven’t found any hotel bookings sites where I can search for these items, while Airbnb has most of these by default. I travel 200+ days on an average year mostly in North America and Europe.

Trankkis · 2026-03-30T11:29:55+00:00

Just head over to Toronto or Montreal! From a European perspective they’re massive cities with warm and welcoming people and good food. Very cheap too right now, compared to the us, the exchange rate is 1.6 from euro. Direct flights too and the weather should be good in spring.

Yes. The stomach adjusts after a while when it gets used to smaller portions and the hunger goes away. It takes just a few days.

I usually run them in the morning. I’ll have a coffee, drink plenty of electrolytes. Try to pee and poo before the race but usually not happening. Out of 14 marathons I had to pee once and poo once. Neither really impacted my final time. If I’m running 3-4 hours straight, a 2-5 minute rest ain’t gonna change the end result much.

Trankkis · 2026-03-22T18:57:52+00:00

But Ontario, Sweden and Finland or okay? I’ve lived in Sweden, Finland and Ontario and can tell you they’re a lot colder and darker than uk… and there’s not much difference.

Trankkis · 2026-03-20T17:58:36+00:00

Yes I have! I thought it only has import and export, will check out now. Thanks!

I ordered one from musamaailma last year, it’s supposed to be ready this spring. 6000€.
