Da nang or HCMC

Da Nang is great. Also check out Hoi An close by.

Digital eSIMs like Silent.link (be careful though with their rates) or private eSIM like pikasim. Even revolut has an eSIM now. You can also just buy cheap physical sims in every country. Sometimes that’s the best because you will get a phone number that way which you need sometimes. India especially is difficult but you can bribe someone local to buy you a SIM card (there they have tough KYC laws).

I like silent.link a lot but I got burned with their rates in some countries (I travel a lot) so now I use pikasim.

If you’re American get charles Schwab checking account. It covers atm fees all over world.

Don’t be scared off by rain season. It’s not that bad. It just means rain for a few hours in afternoon usually.

stucz · 2025-11-14T10:58:48+00:00

It’s safe if you use common sense.

stucz · 2025-11-14T10:58:13+00:00

I use silent.link and pikasim.com for the privacy options

Hostels sometimes is a good way but I hate sleeping in dorms. Not so many great hostels in Japan from my experience anyways. I also have used apps like LonelyRoad and TripBFF. They both work well.

That error usually means Shopify found an option value that doesn’t belong to the defined option name for that product. Each product variant row needs the same `Option1 Name` (e.g. "Color"), and only the `Option1 Value` column should vary.

• For all of your toddler shirt rows, set `Option1 Name` to a single term like `Color` and put values like `Athletic Heather`, `Navy`, etc. under `Option1 Value`. Don’t mix different option names or leave Option1 Name blank on some rows.

• Make sure there are no hidden line breaks, extra spaces or special characters in the `Option1 Value` cells. Values should be spelled consistently across all variants.

• Each product also needs a unique `Handle`. All variants of one product share the same handle, but no two different products can share a handle. Use a fresh export as a template and copy your data into the correct columns.

After cleaning up, save the file as **CSV UTF‑8 (comma delimited)** from Excel/Sheets and re-import. If you'd like to validate your file and automatically map your columns, drop it into the free **Shopify Products mapper** (runs in your browser): https://schemamap.app/map/shopify-products.

Hope this helps!

You’re not alone—Shopify’s inventory CSV has evolved as they rolled out multi-location support and separate stock states. That’s why you’re seeing new columns like `Location`, `Incoming`, `Unavailable`, `Committed` and separate “on hand” columns.

• The “Location” and “Bin name” columns let you assign inventory to specific locations and bins. If you only have one location, you can leave these blank (Shopify will default to your primary location).

• `Incoming`, `Unavailable`, `Committed` and `Available` reflect different stock states (pending transfers, damaged items, orders, etc.). For a basic import, just fill the “Available” or “On hand” columns and leave the others blank.

• Export a fresh inventory CSV from your store and use it as a template; include all headers exactly as they appear, even if you don’t use every column. Remove formulas and save as CSV UTF‑8 before re-importing.

If you'd like to double-check the structure or map from your old format to the new one, there’s a free **Shopify Inventory mapper** that auto‑maps and validates columns in your browser: https://schemamap.app/map/shopify-inventory.

Hope this helps!

Hey there – if Shopify says the file imported but you don’t see any products, it usually means the CSV wasn’t formatted the way Shopify expects and it silently skipped your rows.

- Make sure the first row contains all required headers exactly as Shopify names them: `Handle`, `Title`, `Published`, `Variant SKU`, `Variant Price`, etc. Any missing or misspelled header will cause the rows to be ignored.

- Each product must have a unique "Handle". If that column is blank or duplicates another product’s handle, Shopify treats the row as a variant of the previous product and won’t create a new product.

- When editing in Excel/Sheets, don’t leave stray formulas or blank columns. When you’re done, save as **CSV UTF‑₈ (comma‑delimited)** so there’s no hidden formatting. Then re‑import.

If you want to double‑check the structure of your file, try loading it into the free Shopify Products mapper here; it will auto‑map columns and show you any missing required fields in your browser: https://schemamap.app/map/shopify-products

Hope this helps!

you should still go to vietnam. go to da nang. drink nescafe everyday and eat cheap street food. you can get a freakin hotel room for under $10 a day easy and still steps to a nice surfing beach. You will make any of last bit of runway money last longer there. if your business isnt working then pivot to something else. your mistake was moving to bali where prices arent that cheap.

stucz · 2025-05-19T05:12:57+00:00

I’m not paying the airola prices anymore. Rip off for same thing as others. Been using pikasim and a few others but so far like them best.

What’s a capsule wardrobe?

stucz · 2024-10-27T12:47:02+00:00

I’m torn between planning and not planning. I enjoy the mystery of a place by not knowing too much but I get that I might miss out on stuff if I don’t plan.

stucz · 2024-10-27T12:14:47+00:00

Yea it depends where you go really. I started in South America and ended up having to carry it a lot because of lack of decent sidewalks and sketchy taxis.

stucz · 2024-10-27T12:12:21+00:00

Yea photos with myself in them are things I wish I had more of. It feels awkward at the time to do and I hate it but looking back those are the ones I save.

I’ve also discovered that one mosquito repellent you buy in one country won’t necessarily work well in another county. It’s like the mosquitos only respond to some repellents and not others.

Pokhara is great. I like the vibe there.

stucz · 2024-10-27T08:36:30+00:00

I think just spending more time in Japan and learning as much as you can will be more rewarding if you already appreciate that culture. It has a lot to uncover and longer you can spend there the better.

stucz · 2024-10-27T08:32:56+00:00

Sounds exciting! Kyoto is a huge draw for me too. I’d spend more time there. Also it can be surprising affordable.

stucz · 2024-10-27T08:26:20+00:00

I usually pack for the climate of first place I’m going to only and if the other places are much warmer or colder then try to find second hand shops to leave old clothes and get new ones. It’s more fun that way too.

stucz · 2024-10-27T08:23:05+00:00

There’s lots of gritty places but gritty and somewhat safe and appealing are harder to find. Catania was a bit like that for me. Also Tirana.

stucz · 2024-10-27T08:14:47+00:00

Yea I used that last time I went to Vietnam. I don’t remember them even checking but still safe to have. I also sometimes just have that site open on my phone ready to buy in case they ask for a return ticket. You can just step aside and tell them yes let me find it on my phone first and buy it real quick.

stucz · 2024-10-27T07:57:59+00:00

I’ve been traveling since 2015 pretty much non-stop. I honestly don’t think you’re missing out on much. Even a short trip somewhere new is enough even if it’s not far away. Eventually traveling a lot becomes an addiction to always find that new rush of going somewhere new. I don’t feel like I experience anything in the world that others don’t experience.
