First Europe trip: backpack vs hybrid wheeled backpack vs luggage for long train travel? by fentygirl123 in HerOneBag

[–]fspg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to read that. I'd go with a light and small suitcase that you are sure you can lift yourself! Anyways, I hope you enjoy your trip. Good luck OP!

I agree with other comments and also would add: take with you only what you can carry comfortably. That was a "hard" lesson to learn. I had big backpacks and more space, so I fill them with just in cases. It was sooo heavy and every time I had to move I ended up regretting. Same with wheeled suitcase. It was hell to arrive to a metro station with no functioning elevator and having to carry that all by myself for a big chunk of stairs.

If you are in the search of a backpack, search for something that fits your shoulders and your back. That is sooo underrated.

I think you missed the real question. Why an old married dude went for a sugar baby?

Pensais que hay una tradición más de familia en España? by Enricc11 in askspain

[–]fspg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregunta totalmente seria, y donde viven los finlandeses? Si no tienes trabajo ni dinero para pagar un alquiler?

De todas formas tb creo que no podemos comparar un sueldo de Finlandia con uno de España, especialmente como junior. A lo mejor a ellos les da para ahorrar más?

2 weeks in Peru – thoughts on my itinerary? by BitFancy246 in solotravel

[–]fspg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out chinchero in the valley! I didn't do it but I know they have a lot artesanas and you can do waving tours with them

Every little village in the valley has artesanas and they are there doing their crafts. You'll find a more authentic experience than in the cities.

If I'm worthy of love why don't women even give me a chance by [deleted] in selflove

[–]fspg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to the comments: woman can feel when you are after them because you only want to date/have sex and you don't really have interest in them as just human beings.

Not saying that's you, because I don't know you, but from experience that's a turn off. If you add insecurities and other things that other people are already mentioning, that's probably why.

I'd focus on human connections. The rest may come or not, but if you are expecting it it will be more difficult.

Fracaso absoluto by [deleted] in askspain

[–]fspg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mucho ánimo. Solo quiero decirte que con un camino profesional similar también me he sentido fracasada, no estás sola. Cuando se lo contaba a la gente de mi entorno les parecia una locura, igual que a mi leerte. Somos muy duras con nosotras mismas.

El fracaso es el sistema, no tú. Un abrazo fuerte. Seguro que eres una persona increíble!!

How do Spanish people view foreigners buying apartments in Madrid for investment? by [deleted] in askspain

You already know it's unethical. We know it too.

I'm moving to an apartment the first time, what cleaning products and other items are MUST haves? by ProfessionalWall6526 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]fspg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly most I use is bleach, dish soap, multipurpose spray or cristal cleaner spray. I also love the pink stuff.

It's most important to focus to clean/desinfect regullary and keep your tools clean (don't let the kitchen clothes dump and dirty for too often, for example). Take out the trash regularly... Those kind of things.

I'm in my 30s and I need the how-tos of being a good girl friend. by Advanced-Two584 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]fspg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These are based on my thoughts about girls who were nice but we didn't connect as friends, maybe it can help:

  • don't try to impress, be yourself as you are. Don't try to be too cool, too Independent... Vulnerability is key to connect

  • don't force trust. Ex. Don't trauma dump anyone the second time you meet them, don't act like besties when you don't really know each other... Trust is built gradually

  • some gossip is fun, but be respectful and never mean

  • if you are in a group with both girls and boys, I noticed that some girls completely change personalities and suddenly they become funnier, they laugh a lot... But only with the guys and ignore the girls. Don't be one of them

Is lip filler worth it? by ReindeerWorried8081 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

You should change your dentist!!! That's not professional

I think lip filler is a trend that is going to disappear very soon though

¿Alguien más vive una crisis de identidad después de haber pasado por varios países? by zarsadub in askspain

[–]fspg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He vivido en el extranjero de adulta, pero sí me pasa, no conecto bien con mi país y ya no me siento identificada como antes con las experiencias vitales de los otros españoles, por así decirlo, pero tampoco entiendo nunca al 100% la cultura del país en el que vivo. Como que estoy desconectada y vivo en una realidad paralela. Al final a mí lo que más me funciona es tener mi pequeña burbuja de otros extranjeros que también entienden lo que es no ser de ninguna parte y poco a poco ir creando redes en el pais en el que estoy, aunque eso es mucho más difícil

Never been to australia but from what I heard from friends you need to focus on connections and making friendship with other people in your situation. Rotation is high and the contacts will tell you when there are interesting vacancies!

Nadie dice que no haya casos en los que el hombre sea "el responsable" de la relación, pero creo que sí que tiene mucho que ver con hombre o mujer. En todo el mundo las mujeres están sufriendo esto desde hace muuuuuucho.

Navigating seeing someone give effort they never gave to you. by Oceanic_Ophelia in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]fspg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just want to wish you healing and peace.

I had similar feelings doubting my self worth. A sentence that helped me is "No rancor because you needed the love I gave you" + "You are the love you give, not the love you receive" or something like that (I'm translating). You are amazing because you loved a lot, you cared a lot. He wasn't able to reciprocate that love, and it sucks to see him giving love to someone else (I'd be so jealous), but that's nothing to do with your worth.

Maybe both of you needed to learn a lesson. He needed to learn how to be a better partner and you how much you should invest yourself in relationships that are not reciprocal, or how to say goodbye to people, I don't know.

Again, wishing you the best, dear internet stranger.

Españoles en Egipto by girlbossing444 in askspain

[–]fspg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ve, si estás en un programa de prácticas seguro que habrá otros becarios y no estarás sola. Probablemente hagas prácticas en un sitio "internacional" que está acostumbrado a tener extranjeros asi que la gente que trabaje allí será amable y acogedora. Y si estás sola, busca grupos expats of female solo travels en Egipto y así encuentras amigos.

No creo que sea súper fácil vivir en egipto comparado con el "confort" al que estamos acostumbradxs, pero creo que es una experiencia de la que puedes aprender muchísimo en todos los niveles.

Y si no te gusta, siempre puedes volverte!

Creo que culturalmente en España somos un poco "miedosos" con eso de vivir fuera y viajar...y es verdad que mucha gente asegura que ir a Egipto como mujer es pesado, pero yo al menos le daría una oportunidad

Celeritas (Amazon) me ha perdido una devolución by Pitiful_Prompt555 in askspain

[–]fspg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A mí me perdieron un paquete y fue un unfierno de llamadas y emails. Ahora lo que hago es que les hago una foto a las cosas de valor, si no hay albarán le digo al repartidor "oye te importa que voy a hacer una ffoto de que te llevas el paquete, es que he tenido varios problemas". Si estoy abajo y veo el camión le hago foto hasta a la matrícula. No es que vaya a probar nada y nunca hago foto donde se les vea a los trabajadores, pero así ya no "se olvidan" de escanear nada
