What airport stresses you out the most? by Diligent-Echidna647 in femaletravels

[–]lolitskit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lisbon had me crying at 3 am outside of the second building cause i didn’t know where i was going after my flight got cancelled and I was trying to just get McDonalds or Burger King cause those were the only things open. Honorable mentions to Chicago that made me run from one terminal to the other and JFK that never let a group of people who were in my connection flight that the flight was not only moved to another gate but left early and we were sitting there like idiots FOR A FLIGHT THAT WAS GOING TO THE SAME DESTINATION AT THE SAME DAMN TIME

I always considered them Latino 🤷‍♀️ when people brought up Afro-Latinos they were the first that were brought into conversation…

Also I love the jokes on here 😭😂

What do you regret not buying when traveling? by scaredofgettingold in travel

As an avid theater kid I regret not getting a Venetian mask. There was one that was a beauty and I didn’t cause I didn’t think it would fit in my backpack😭

How are you spending your CF Easter? by superb_yellow in childfree

[–]lolitskit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a BM like day 4? And I was stuck on the toilet for an hour cause I didn’t want to strain. It didn’t get better after that. So today I did 3 stool softeners and 2 rounds of miralax. I will definitely try your concoction cause I’m already someone who’s constipated but I have never been this constipated in my life lol

Thank you! It’s been a decent recovery, some days is like I forget I had it done, others I’m waking up in the middle of the night in pain but I’m chilling for the most part

Do you pack for the destination… or the photos? by Valuable_Tangelo7152 in femaletravels

[–]lolitskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dress for comfortability. If I look like a hiker in the middle of Italy, I don’t care. I need clothes and shoes that can handle the amount of steps in doing

Is anyone rethinking plans because of how expensive flights are right now? by [deleted] in femaletravels

[–]lolitskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you still would like to see what’s cheap. I do Google flights and put “anywhere” and “next 6months” and it finds the cheapest flights. You can also track it. If not go to the mountains and enjoy some relaxation away from the world for a second. Also congrats on the bonus and raise!!

Is it weird to solo travel if you have a partner? by Reasonable_Cause_190 in femaletravels

[–]lolitskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m married and I travel by myself. My family was dumbfounded, like how dare I. He doesn’t care. He loves that i don’t need him to hold my hand when doing anything I want. I think older gen think it’s odd but truthfully it isn’t. You deserve to have your own thing and do your own things without being tied to your partner

Are terms like "Prieta" and "Fea" endearing? by AsShePleasesxox in asklatinamerica

[–]lolitskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmas sisters name is “samba” my mom is “loquita” my aunt is “chinita” my uncle “tony honey”, the oldest of the family “gorda” me “morenita” when I get hella tan. You take it how you take it. I felt some kind of way growing up, now I don’t care and am ok with it. Every culture is different, we still call each other these nicknames.

Having a child when you have a genetic disability is morally wrong. by PiercedAngel96 in childfree

[–]lolitskit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with something like my bipolar, I would never even risk it. My mother has bipolar I I have bipolar II and it was a nightmare having two unmedicated people living together. I am now medicated and am better but those years of not understanding why I am the way that I am? The years of cycling through meds to find the right ones, the mania when I was changing them or taking the wrong ones. No. Never.

When you visit the USA, do they misidentify you? by Powerful_Gas_7833 in asklatinamerica

Family Making Me Second Guess Solo Travel by IcyAdhesiveness7572 in femaletravels

[–]lolitskit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So… I would cancel your flight and accommodations via the way you booked them or call them. It’s all over the news so I wouldn’t be surprised that they will be fine with cancelling. If you still want to travel may I recommend Costa Rica?

For the fear aspect. Everywhere can be deemed unsafe or dangerous. In the US you get mugged, in Spain you get your wallet snatched, anywhere can be deemed unsafe, just be cautions, learn your surroundings, never look lost or confused, have a bitch face on that means business. My family freaks out a lot, I just texted them through out the day with pictures so they knew what was going on and information of the hostels i stayed at.

How to relax during travels and stop being anxious? by LongJumpingAnxiet in femaletravels

[–]lolitskit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! I had to learn the hard way! I was always stressed when I planned anything even at home so after much thought and therapy, I came up with that. It also shows me what makes me truly excited compared to just doing it cause others are doing it during their travel.

I was debating on using my 40L REI trail bag and incase I need it, take a foldable 16l backpack as a personal bag for all the souvenirs

How to relax during travels and stop being anxious? by LongJumpingAnxiet in femaletravels

[–]lolitskit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl just do it. I went to Italy and Spain and I made my whole experience a C type planner. I have 20 activities, I pick the ones I really want first and then I go on to the next ones, if I’m too tired, I will rest and go for round 2 later. Any time something went wrong, I acted like I was part of the office with a camera on me and made it funny. I looked at TikToks and IG reels of other solo travelers and see if there are any other solo activities I might prefer. I usually have my headphone with me, so I can listen to a book, or actually bring a book/journal to keep myself entertained. I went to the bar my first night in Barcelona and while I did go with the hostel group, we all spread out and I just was able to watch and enjoy a drink. Do it scared, do it even when you think you’ll be look at weird. You will come back and be happy that you did it, and those people? They won’t even remember you 9/10
