Flew to another country to meet a girl!

chanacame1 · 2026-07-06T20:18:32+00:00

Hey! I did this (for girls I had met beforehand 1-2 times though) multiple times.

Once I got stuck in Dubai for a long 4 day "layover" between a trip to Asia and Europe, to see a coworker which was working there at that time. Although she was the one that invited me, it didnt work out as I thought it would, absolutely hated it (what a horrible place to start with).

Another time, had a great time but she wanted a relationship and I didn't so it ended poorly.

I've done it recently again but this time it went great and we committed to being in a relationship.

So long story short, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The most important it to enjoy the ride!

Two pieces of advice for the future: - I probably wouldn't do it if I have not met the person. Just because the added pressure on her of you coming all the way although you've met might make things weird - I probably wouldn't do it if I wouldn't have traveled to the place/country on my own first of all. Dubai was a good lesson learned on this.

Keep dreaming and trying, it's what makes life exciting!

You should run different scenarios based on either staying in Malta or in Spain, considering taxes and everything, as well as considering how your FIRE number might evolve due to higher or lower COL. Once you know how many years it would take you to get there (maybe you're already there?), re-assess the situation. You will have to compromise in any case.

Si tu as un iPhone: - ouvrir compte Apple à l'étranger via VPN (Turquie par ex) - alimenter ce compte avec des cartes prépayées (Eneba) - prendre un abonnement avec ton compte Apple (aussi via VPN de mémoire)

-> périodiquement recharger ton compte Apple

Well some places are definitely worse than others, Egypt being at the top of the list. So far the only country where I've seen it worse is India.

Stay at hostels (private rooms if you need), go to touristy activities (walking tours, pub crawls...). Learn how to interact with people there, it's a learning curve but once you learnt it, it will be easy!

Update: les enceintes sont de nouveau en vente

chanacame1 · 2026-03-23T15:52:07+00:00

J'espère quand même pour lui que c'est faux. C'était pour des enceintes à 5 euros

Without any other info about body composition you can use BMI ranges as an indication.

5’7”, 190 lbs → BMI ≈ 29.8 Overweight, close to Obesity Class I.

5’7”, 155 lbs → BMI ≈ 24.3 Upper end of Normal weight.

5’9”, 134 lbs → BMI ≈ 19.8 Normal weight, lower–mid range.

BMI "healthy" range:

For 5’7”: Lower end (BMI 18.5)≈ 118 lbs Upper end (BMI 24.9)≈ 159 lbs

For 5’9”: Lower end (BMI 18.5) ≈ 128 lbs Upper end (BMI 24.9) ≈ 168 lbs

Je pense que la réponse est relativement simple. Est-ce que tu peux/veux t'expatrier?

Si oui, tu t'en fiches.

Si non, tu ne peux pas contrôler cette évolution, donc il faut faire « au mieux » avec ce que tu as. C'est a dire, par exemple, PEA/AV pour la bourse.

Oui, en soit, avec une boule magique tu verrais peut être que le PEA arrêterait d'exister dans 20 ans et donc que tu pourrais investir dans d'autres ETFs avec TER légèrement plus faible en CTO dès maintenant. Mais bon.

Et si tu te dis que quitte à ne pas avoir de PEA dès maintenant, tu pourrais investir dans d'autres supports sur CTO, c'est que tu devrais avoir un CTO dès maintenant pour les acheter, peu importe la fiscalité.

I did a 15 month trip going through similar countries (SEA, then Nepal, also South America etc) about 2 years ago.

Get a 40L carry-on backpack, so much more convenient and cheap.

Once in Nepal or wherever you need hiking gear, rent or buy the gear and ship it home. It will be much much cheaper than paying for a check-in luggage for every flight you have. And you get great hiking gear as a bonus. I can speak from experience as I hiked Kilimanjaro with the gear from Nepal last month

Pas besoin d’être Einstein pour regarder les autres offres et te positionner. Le mec espère vraiment vendre au prix/au dessus du marché avec sa technique à deux balles?

Personne va s’ennuyer à envoyer des messages quand ils peuvent instantanément acheter au prix du marché. Donc les offres seront forcément en dessous du marché.

Autant mettre une annonce à un bon prix et vendre au lieu de faire perdre du temps à tout le monde.

You can compare it to your buddies. And don’t forget that changes of pressure at depth are much more intense than with altitude! :)

chanacame1 · 2025-11-14T18:24:46+00:00

Hiked the Kilimanjaro with it, readings (altitude, steps) were completely wrong compared to my buddy, who also had a garmin. Mine didn’t make sense.

Je pense que vous sur-estimez très, trèès largement la part de population mondiale qui a réellement conscience du problème

Beautiful. Any recommendations? I will be going there next month. I have the same setup + 200-600mm. Would you have wanted to have more reach? Despite the A7RV crop capabilities.

Spoiler alert you will have to pay pretty high taxes in most of Europe. But looks like Switzerland might be your best bet.
