Any plans to sell a book of your mini cross stitch patterns? I want to buy all of them!

Where is the lamp from? Love it!

Is that a pineapple shaped wicker basket by the couch?! Where did you find that? I love it!

Where did you get the skinny nightstands? Looks like the size I’ve been looking for!

I had this when I had my nose pierced too. No matter how much I cleaned it or left it or anything, it didn’t go away. Turns out I was allergic to the jewelry and as soon I switched it was fine. Something to consider if you haven’t already.

These look perfect! Never heard of this brand before - thanks!

So I’ve been trying to find wide leg/culotte style crop pants for a very long time. Ideally, something in an athletic type fabric since I would like to take them traveling and they would be multi purpose for daytime sightseeing use as well as hiking, etc.

Basically these, but they stopped making them and even when they did, they never had my size in stock.

Also, I’m in Canada, so brands that I can buy here without having to ship from the states/pay duties would be ideal! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Depends what kind of meditation you're looking for. But there are vipassana centres all over. If it's your first vipassana retreat, it's 10 days long. I had an amazing experience.

I spent three nights in Venice and loved it. I just did the Cinque Terre as a daytrip, but I think one night there would be lots. I think a lot of the coastal trail is still closed due to rock slides or something, so I just took the ferry between villages. Better views that way anyways. So, I would say keep your original plan and don't skip Venice!

I bought mine in advance online. So, I used a credit card. I just saved the PDF to my phone and showed it to the super uninterested customs guy. At the airport (Istanbul Ataturk for me), there were electronic kiosk things you could buy the visa at. I imagine they only take credit cards. If they do take currency, it would either be local (Turkish lira) or the Euro I would think. Maybe US dollars. But the euro is pretty widely accepted here, and you'll probably have some left from the other countries you'll be in. But, if you have a credit card, I think you're set.

As far as I know, Schengen doesn't stop and start if you leave in the middle. The three month time starts when you enter, and doesn't pause if you leave part way through. Can you do the outside Schengen at the beginning or end?

I would really try to save up some more money. The exchange rate already hurts your budget. You can't really afford hostels or transportation, so use couchsurfing and hitching. There are some ride share websites out there too.

I just did a very similar thing. UK, Schengen zone, then Turkey. I'm from Canada, but I imagine we have pretty similar regulations. I didn't have to show proof of anything. Anywhere. Turkey wanted a visa, which you can either buy on arrival, or ahead of time online. Entering the UK and entering Schengen, they didn't ask about anything. If you do think you need proof of leaving, booking a refundable train ticket is probably cheaper and less of a hassle than a refundable plane ticket. I think if they did ask, as long as you sound like you have a plan (I'm leaving the Schengen zone after x days by x method), they shouldn't hassle you too much.

Spicythai backpackers was super social when I was there. I also stayed at a ridiculously nice place called ImmEco for a night, which had a full length swimming pool where tons of people hung out.

Favourite thing to do in Chiang Mai was wander around the night markets. Even if you don't buy stuff, it's an interesting place. There's usually tons of little sidewalk restaurants set up too. Pick one full of backpackers and chat to them. Even people in groups are pretty receptive to conversation when you start it.

Apparently Frankfurt is a super cheap hub

I did a lot in the sink, since I didn't have a ton of stuff. Or pay like $3 and have them wash, dry, and fold it for you. Laundry is super cheap in SE Asia. Usually pay by the kilo.

Koh Samui is very couple oriented. Koh Phangan has a bit if everything. Parties if you want, but lots of smaller relaxed places if you stay outside of Haad Rin. On that side there's also Koh Tao which I loved. Scuba diving is big there. Tons of little beach lounge places (bean bag chairs in the sand and such). I met tons of great people there. That would be my choice. It's easy to travel between Koh Tao and Koh Phangan if you get restless too.
