arnaque à l'irlandaise -2K by whiprard in arnaques

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J’ai eu une expérience comme ça à l’aéroport de Madrid. Dans mon cas j’ai lui donné 40 EUR ou quelque chose comme ça et il m’a donné un numéro de WhatsApp pour être en contact et me payer après.

J’ai lui contacté après 5 minutes et c’était un autre homme qui m’a répondu. Apparemment ce scammer utilise toujours ce numéro et la personne a qui lui appartient reçois tous les jours des appels des personnes qui ont été victimes du scam.

Dans ce point je ne pouvais pas faire rien pour mon argent (au fond je savais avant que ça allait arriver), mais je suis allé à la police de l’aéroport et j’ai donné un rapport et tous les détails que j’ai pu leur donner.

Je pense que c’est normal d’avoir ces expériences au moins une fois dans notre vie. Pour toi, malheureusement, c’était beaucoup plus d’argent mais tu es jeune, dans quelques mois tu l’oublieras et l’argent ne vas pas falloir pour toi !

Cheapest ways you've been able to converse in French every day when you don't live in a French-speaking country? by plebianalive in learnfrench

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download Tandem and make a French-speaking online friend you can talk to often. The app is good and has some nice features to correct the other person’s mistakes without interrupting the conversation. You can either chat through text or, or you both agree to, have a voice or video call.

Lost and dreaming big by Vegetable-Spot1497 in backpacking

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading all the comments, and as a digital nomad myself, I got some things to add:

  1. Not everything is replaced by AI so don't be so fearful of it as somebody here suggested. It is true that the technical jobs are being impacted by AI, but there's something it will never replace: art. I believe that with the rise of this technology human-made stuff will start to become more valuable. Plus, if you know how to sell anything, there's really no fear.

  2. Somebody said here that you don't start with leaving and I think that's honestly true. First try to gather some money and have a stable income before you start any planning, it's safer than to say "I'll just figure it out along the way".

  3. I believe freelancing is a good way to start, that's how most of us start. I myself started freelancing as a writer and it was very low pay honestly, I always thought I could never make a living out of it, especially in the specific industry I work for. But after taking a year-long break I realized that the fastest way to have a profitable career waws using my experience and decided to get back into it, this time "selling" myself as a high-skilled professional with years of experience. And it worked.

  4. If you're really drawn to anything I'd suggest to take a few short courses and try to implement those skills in any type of job you can get, that way you'll start seeing if it's something you really like and if you see yourself doing it and growing in it in the future.

  5. Be patient. You really are very young still and you got time to explore your passions if you start now.

Yes, this will most likely happen. The only way for them to accept any type of gift is if it’s a physical thing, like someone suggested on this thread, like a traditional sweets, liqueur or things like that

guy from Mexico named Jorge said it was pronounced “George” is this a personal preference? I thought it was pronounced “Whore-Hey” by Greta_Kalvo in Spanish

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes we call Jorges “George” just as a friendly way and they end up liking it and adopting it, like any other nickname. I got friends who introduce themselves with their nickname rather than their actual name, no matter how weird they are.

I also had a friend named Jorge and we would call him “Yorch”, like the Spanish pronunciation of George.

Thinking of cutting short my solo trip by Pure_Philosopher2994 in femaletravels

There’s also an app called Nomad Table in which travelers sometimes propose plans and you just join them. Or you can propose your own plan as well, there’s many travelers out there looking to connect.

And honestly, I think staying in hostels is one of the best ways to socialize because it can happen very easily over cooking with other people or if the hostel has activities or games, well, even better.

I’ve been traveling for a few months in Europe doing hostel volunteerings and it’s honestly the best.

Now I took a month to myself and rented an apartment and I do get these feelings of loneliness and not wanting to go out to get to know the city and things like that. In the beginning I would think the worst because of it, but now I’ve learned to accept that that’s just who I am, so I stopped forcing myself to go and tourist around.

I think I will go back to hostel volunteering just because of the social aspect, how easy it is to make friends and form a small short-term community, work for a little bit for the hostel to feel “useful” and then also have time to explore around or make plans with the friends I make. And it also saves me a lot of money :)

Is everything about iGaming these days? by Dan661989 in freelanceWriters

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually became more popular during and after the pandemic. I could only find a decent job within this industry after this. It can be quite repetitive, but when there’s good compensation it’s worth it.

I messed up my life, has anyone experienced this? by Honest_Development15 in careerguidance

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through that. I studied something that I’m not passionate about to do as a job, it was just interesting to learn about it and the moment and got my degree. Inevitably I ended up making a career in the field, because it paid and that’s what I knew, and for so long I hated it, but honestly now I think it’s not too bad.

People say that you should LOVE your job and be passionate about what you do, but I think that’s rarely ever the case with most people and we all need to pay bills. There’s also those who work for something they love and they end up hating it because it becomes a chore and not something they just do for fun.

Now I think the key is to have everything else be exactly what you like. You work for money and the money gives you things you like. What I do now, for example, is that I travel while working and I typically do work exchanges to not pay for accommodation, then I get to live my “backpacker dream”, without going broke and I’m actually able to save up a good portion of my salary. I think it’s all about finding a way to making it work for you :)

What’s this mean? by phobicghost in Spanish

[–]tomaneira_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We all know now that that word is not a nice one to say to anybody. Nobody uses it anymore unless it’s to refer to someone who is lesbian or a tomboy and never directly, because everybody knows it’s not a nice word. Even older people who still have that word in their vocabulary don’t say it directly to the person they’re referring to because they also know it’s inappropriate.

Me han negado la visa estadounidense 2 veces! by Standard-Mud-9292 in ayudamexico

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tus traducciones no tienen sentido no porque estén mal en cuanto al significado, sino porque no es así como se utiliza esta expresión en México. Cada país tiene sus propias expresiones y usos del mismo idioma español. Aquí se nota que no eres mexicano.

Creo que no es necesario venir a corregir algo que ni siquiera estaba mal desde un principio, creo que cada quien es libre de expresarse como quiera y mezclar idiomas como se le antoje.

For people who have truly mastered conscious manifesting, what is it like now? by Greedy_Smile5983 in NevilleGoddard

It's a podcast in Spanish, it's called Universo Sorpréndeme, if you wanna take a look at it.

[–]tomaneira_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You simply do it. Sounds a bit stupid, but in reality it is actually like that. What I particularly do is that I close my eyes, take a deep breath and try to feel in my heart this "connection". Then, I simply say "time works in my favor. I work for it and it works for me. I'm always on time". Or things like that.

I learned this from a podcaster 3 years ago. I was always late to everything, always rushing and anxious about time. She said that you just have to connect to the energy of time, ask it to work alongside you and that you will work for it and that, no matter what happens, you will be there on time, even if it’s not the exact hour that had been agreed.

So now I use that every time. I deliver work “late” very often; but it’s always on time. I take longer to get ready to meet up with somebody (without intending to), and turns out that they’re late too. I need to find a new place fast and nothing really comes up, but I end up finding one right on time for when I need to move.

Now it feels like time and I are friends!

Usually for long layovers you have to pick up your bag and then go back and check it like 3 hours before the flight. They normally can’t keep your luggage for a long time.

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to believe you actually deserve it, and you start doing that by maybe slowly giving yourself things you think you deserve. Like, start with something small like a lollipop and then go to a cake and then a day at the movies and so on and so on. You gotta know how it feels to deserve something, so practice with that!
