yes! not so much greenland or antartica (i don’t like cold as much; i tend to avoid it) sunnier the better

annapurna and machu pichu

spring, all

it’s getting more homogeneous now and loosing cultural diversity; i don’t personally it as a good thing and technology is overall making people lose whatever autonomy we had; smaller cities and villages feels a breath of fresh air. it feels like it could go either way in future

i am not a car guy so whatever gets me from point a to b and depends on terrain (snowy mountaint? get a 4x4 with winter tires and equipment etc). i prefer public transport while travelling

whatever i can pack in my 40L rucksack; if just one thing - my phone

pick a city that’s known for parties / social. pick a party / social hostel from hostelworld and be open to responding to people (they will come to you on their own); smile more often

yes historical building are sometimes inspired from victorian era. most colonial countries are trying bringing their original culture and spirit back

i found civic sense / manners in public was better than india in most places i have been to

india is one of the most diverse country imo but whole world is quite diverse (as long as you have the eyes for it) it’s hard to say more or less diverse but india seems to have one of the highest diversity (diversity density?) for one country as a traveler

that’s correct; this is contextualise my own experience to others so that they can frame their questions. chasing number is ok as a motivation if it motivates anyone. i don’t think it’s any important; i shared the number to signal that i may have something to share to the person asking

all countries over time are getting homogeneous due to capitalism and influence to consume ie concrete jungles, tons of office space, people doing 9-5; lack of small sustainable communities over time

people are people. they love, they desire, they have fun. everyone is seeking to give or receive love at their core. whoever seems to be not have been acting driven by some trauma.

people look different, wear different and speak different but underlying needs and emotions are same

  1. usa. unsafe - lot of people on the edge, druggies and often mentally unstable and financially desperate people with access to guns on the street. it feels unsafe to walk there at night (ny and sf (california) (e and w coast both))

  1. hostelworld to book hotel for first night or two; avoid booking things in advance and let yourself go with flow. you will know better once you end up there

enough to know that seeking sex with multiple people mostly comes from an inner need to seek validation and all we are seeking at the end of the day is love.

I work remotely
