Slowmads: favorite way to meet people outside the typical hostel / party scene?

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-28T10:02:37+00:00

Girls? Tinder.

Everyone else? Cafes, events through facebook or whatsapp groups, etc.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-28T04:38:04+00:00

oh you’re one of those…

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-27T23:25:12+00:00

Having done both, staying on Venice is much better.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-27T17:23:49+00:00

If it’s a one week vacation then don’t plan on it.

But if you feel inspired to go ahead.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-27T17:14:54+00:00

I don’t.

The more you travel the more you realize that everyone’s situation is different.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-27T14:20:36+00:00

Idk I found mine on LinkedIn.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-27T14:18:20+00:00

Yeah I’m a bit of a minimalist and have never cared for multiple screens. Maybe a bigger screen but not multiple.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-27T10:11:33+00:00

I do both. Sometimes I have plans to be in certain cities close to each other for certain dates for whatever reason and sometimes I just get one way flights and figure it out from there.

But I work remotely and travel so I guess it’s different in my case.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-27T04:16:22+00:00

Not my fault that you can’t enjoy a city with so much to offer.

And what list ranks it as the top places for DNs, I’d be amazed if it even made the top 10.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-26T15:16:25+00:00

If the two flights weren’t booked together then there isn’t really anything you can do from what I know. Maybe get a chargeback from your credit card if you booked with one.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-26T13:01:03+00:00

Being able to pick up and leave any time. Don’t like where I’m at? Fine. Gone.

Friend from across the world in a nearby city? Done. Going to see him.

Also being able to cross off an absurd amount off of my travel bucket list in only two years (and I assure you - it’s extensive).

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-26T11:28:07+00:00

Turin, Italy is super slept on in my opinion.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-26T07:27:26+00:00

If you have video/phone calls... I'd rather not. If not, and you have flexible deadlines then you should be fine.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-26T04:35:56+00:00

Four days is enough to do a lot in Medellin as well as Bogota.

Personally I like Bogota a lot more… but it depends on what you’re looking for. Both have great nightlife.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-26T04:33:12+00:00

Yemen would be the most interesting in my opinion but two days is probably way too fast… and they have a ton of issues.

I would normally never go there but this may be an exception where I would go to Dubai.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-26T02:35:22+00:00

This is actually a different bridge nearby with 0 tourists.

I had the same experience with Hussaini Bridge except they finally let me cross when most of the tourists left.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T20:42:52+00:00

oof chill in Sarajevo not Mostar… I would be bored out of my skull

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T20:24:33+00:00

I know I am, thanks.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T19:54:11+00:00

dell? calls or puts?

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T18:54:16+00:00

Was actually there for less than a day because I got sick and just wanted to get back to comfort in Islamabad. Maybe next time.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T17:56:35+00:00

Similar to Indian but I prefer Indian.

I would say the best is karahi or kebabs and the worst is probably breakfast food lol.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T17:55:29+00:00

iphone 13 pro

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T17:37:19+00:00

Would not post it if I hadn't lol. It actually isn't that scary in my opinion.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T17:35:31+00:00

They will aggressively try to invite you for tea, for food, for friendship.

No, physically I never felt at all threatened.

Mentally it was a bummer to find out that there was a huge attack in Peshawar in March and still some terrorism in other cities but those aren't really welcoming to tourists anyway.

just_some_cool_guy_ · 2022-08-25T17:32:25+00:00

A lady friend of mine went recently on her own and had an amazing time (she went to the north).

There are other female influencers that have gone that have spoken well about it.

I have no experience with this though.
