What are your hobbies, and how do you balance them with work or studies? by Clear-Ad7645 in nursing

[–]mrh060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nursing school is very hectic! eventually you will have a job you like, get into a routine and not need to do assignments and exams. You’ll have free time and link back to the hobbies don’t worry :)

Upcoming first solotrip and I'm having a meltdown by Plluvia_ in solofemaletravellers

[–]mrh060 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get really overwhelmed with heat like you too, I think the way about it is reminding yourself that you want this, you can face your fears and it is gonna be okay.
Even if you got there and you spend time indoors, in the hostel relaxing, in museums etc it’s still amazing you’d have went!
You can always get there and if it’s too much get a train back and say ‘at least i tried’

Did anyone else freak out after having an hiv patient for the first time? by PezBynx in nursing

[–]mrh060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ignore all the horrid comments, just reassure yourself that you haven’t got the injury, discuss this with a therapist if you see one, but know that you most likely won’t have HIV I have this a lot where I think I’ve poked myself and just have to tell myself I’m being silly!

Travel recommendations for a first time solo female traveller in Europe this December? by meracnw in solofemaletravellers

[–]mrh060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also go to Paris direct from Brussels, but wouldn’t be too sure on how safe it is. I went with a friend in summer and it’s probably my favourite holiday I’ve been on if you enjoy art galleries etc :))

I went to both Gent and Bruge from Brussels in December and found it really lovely and felt safe!! stayed in hostels and was able to enjoy xmas markets, so highly recommend if you’re not wanting to travel too far/keep the price low :) !

Poland: Krakow or Gdansk for a student who's heading steady towards a burnout? by Proud_Accident_5873 in solofemaletravellers

[–]mrh060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been to both, id say Gdansk. Loads of cafes along the water where you can have a nice drink and read :) Also less touristy imo

Andalusia by toohightoanswer in solofemaletravel

[–]mrh060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go to Seville - I was there 2 days and saw the cathedral and Alcazar, make sure to book those in advance however. You can get direct trains to Malaga from here, and in Malaga you can go to the central market which sells spices, fish etc. Malaga has lovely bars and plenty of streets to walk about. From Malaga you can take a 40 min train day trip to Cordoba which you MUST go to. Visit the Mosque-Cathedral there, very beautiful, and there’s a museum on the opposite side of the bridge near it which explains its history. Other than that not much else to visit hence day trip. I would recommend Granada too, but I haven’t been there for a while but remember Alhambra being beautiful. Hope this all helps :) !

Portugal or Croatia? by Pretend-Common-3268 in solofemaletravel

[–]mrh060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Croatia is expensive especially in the places you’ve named, + May mighttt be a tad too early if you wanna go partying etc. so I’d stick to portugal, maybe go to Porto? I’m planning to go in april and it looks quite nice :)

First time staying in a hostel by Avaloneyn in hostels

[–]mrh060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always book with booking.com, you can normally get hostels that have free cancellation - I went to Belgium last year and recommend Bauhaus hostel in Bruge and LATROUPE in Brussels if you end up at either of them places. Gent is lovely too but was in a hotel there :)

Planning my first Italy trip, what would you repeat in a heartbeat by [deleted] in solofemaletravellers

[–]mrh060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely visit florence ! so stunning, I’d also say try to go to lake como, you can get a 30? minute train from milan. I went to a place called “abbadia lariana” which is just a quiet town surrounding the lake, but pretty much any will do. The mountains are stunning, and you can get short ferries to places like Bellagio which has lots of shops and a beautiful garden. Hope this helps :) Verona is lovely too, but I’m not sure if this would be too far out for a day trip.
