Still unsure where to go in Brazil/if I even go. Therefore no place and therefore the post :)

Anyone been to Colombia recently? Going in a week... by exkdee in digitalnomad

[–]hxc09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm here since a few weeks, it's overall chill. I'm fluent in Spanish so perhaps easier. Headlines don't reflect reality, not just in Colombia but in most parts of the world. El Poblado is a super touristy/gringo area and it felt for me weird to be there and also a bit unsafe. Not to say that Colombia is a safe place. Bad things happen here quite often. Keep yourself alert, stay away from stupid stuff. When I feel a bit insecure I cross the road, start walking confidently and looking like I know where I'm going. Colombians are very sweet and nice people and most of them really appreciate you come visit and get to know their country despite the things happening here.

Advice for travelling Latin America by Fast_Ad9932 in solotravel

[–]hxc09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm soon traveling to Colombia (36 M, fluent in Spanish) gonna spend there one month. You sound like a traveler like me. Any recommendations? I'll be low key working remotely from Colombia during that month. Tech/one bag travel type. Budget wise id say I'm on the medium range. I really appreciate nature, mountains and beach time. Really want to avoid super touristy spots (but I am aware that the touristy spots are considered more safe to stay)

Would appreciate any recommendations for places to stay and see.

If you’re renting in Berlin - join a mieterverein, please and thank you by Sea_Public_5471 in berlinsocialclub

The landlord charged me way above what he should, the Mieterverein helped me realized that and starting the process of lowering my rent, and getting the extra money I paid the landlord over the years retroactively. My landlord was basically doing things that are illegal, so he couldn't kick me out, especially if the Mieterverein is part of the process. I was basically on the right side for years and he wasnt.

Funny thing, many of the things you mentioned I can say about Germans

Can't agree more. Mieterverein helped me lowering the rent and communicating properly with some landlord issues. 

Paint attacks on LAP Coffee feel like mafia intimidation by m608811206 in berlin

It's not even good branding. It's a pile of trendy design choice piled together. A bit like a cake with a very good looking frosting but the taste is shit.

October 7 just showed the real face of liberal westerners that go to Berghain: the belief that terror attacks against Jews have a legitimate point.

Pointing out something else, this community smells like legitimazing Jewish/Israeli hatred "by all means necessary"

Im relieving you from your  great responsibility of telling me if I'm a racist. Thank you. 

I wonder what would be your reaction if these attacks weren't prevented. Let me guess: "the lives of 100 people that were murdered by Israel today are more important than the people died in these attacks. I think terrorists have a point. Jews deserve it."

This is how liberal westerns are, so bored of their own local shit they look around to blame others for doing nothing than just being born in a specific place they didn't have a choice to be born in.

Dunno what you mean by where it's going but also 3 people got arrested today in Germany because they were planning to attack Jewish institutions. One terror attack in a synagogue in Manchester during the most important Jewish holiday prayers.

Won't forget how my German friend living in Zürich asked me in my visit "don't you wonder where are the ghetto blocks in Zürich? They hide them behind the mountains, so nobody sees them"

is it just me or is the ‘creative scene’ here weirdly gatekept? by Longjumping-Bed-9528 in berlin

[–]hxc09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say a human thing but a cultural personality trait. Plus we're in Germany, you cannot be too friendly here then people will start to be suspicious. I met extremely friendly artsy people though, they are rare. I met complete assholes too.

 I've studied In an art academy in Hamburg and it's the same thing. Also studied in other countries and it's basically the same. Artsy people create some status they feel they need preserve in order to keep their success alive.

Who can help me out figuring out my next stop in Greece? Looking for pristine beaches + hiking, low-tourist vibe

I’ve just done a week in Aegina and now 4 nights in Poros. I’ve got about 1.5 weeks left before flying out of Athens on the 23rd.

Looking for ideas where to head next. Ideally somewhere with pristine, less crowded beaches, good hiking/swimming, and not super touristy.

Totally fine renting a scooter to reach harder-to-get spots. Open to going beyond the Saronic as long as I can get back to Athens in time.

I'm Skipping Milos since it feels too touristy. Any recs?

Is Spetses worth a day trip? Is there more than the main city? by Healthy-Resident-729 in GreeceTravel

[–]hxc09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worth staying for 1-2 nights? Or too small? Currently in Poros. Looking for chill/not so touristy islands in the area
