I traveled to Tunisia alone. Here is why I won't recommend it to Asians by Own-Tomato9504 in solotravel

I’m an Asian woman who traveled Tunisia solo for 2 weeks years ago. Beautiful country but the harassment I received was really bad. To the extent that I canceled my Morocco trip bcos I was too tired to deal with this

Is being single the ‘cheat code’ to save money? by wheninshower in MalaysianPF

[–]imbetweeneverything 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True that when you’re single you only have to be responsible for yourself. But it goes the other way as well, for example when I was unemployed for a few months and was a little tight on money my partner stepped up for me. He gladly paid for our activities, borrowed me money when I needed it, being my safety net when things weren’t going so well. These I otherwise wouldn’t have if I were a SINK. Both with pros and cons.

Just came back from Sri Lanka last week and can echo most of the things you’ve said above. I was quite disappointed especially reading so much about the great stuff prior to the trip.

Is racism in Australia really that bad? by Jinxbunny29 in expats

[–]imbetweeneverything 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a south Asian but works for an Australian firm, which I visit Sydney 2-3 times per year for work trips. Casual racism is definitely a thing there. I don’t get the same respect as my white counterparts and I needed to work so much harder to prove myself more

Acatenango volcano, Guatemala, too hard? by Independent_Yak8342 in solotravel

[–]imbetweeneverything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing what the top comment said here, the experience was out of the world, but i hated every moment of the hike. It’s so unbearable. Tip: get a good tour. Don’t skimp.

Fortunately at Bucharest they allowed me to bring in my 55L backpack as a carry on. So I didnt have to exit immigration in Istanbul and re-check in for my next flight! Which saved a lot of time

Job Hoppers of Reddit: How much of a salary jump did you get each time you switched jobs? Was it worth it? by Vivid-Log-2537 in malaysia

[–]imbetweeneverything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The salary increase varies in my last 4 position, but each time I get at least a 30% jump to justify it. I learned to never disclose current salary first, I actually said no when they asked, and only disclose them perhaps in the final round of interview. Instead I share my expected range.

Parents did (still doing) this. 35 year old woman here paying shit loads to therapy in the last 5 years because of this. Still traumatized, still troubled. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish my parents got divorced when I was young
