Edinburgh, 2024

I sat in the hostel most of the day and ate til I couldn’t move, but when I DID move, I was utterly delighted.

Vang Vieng: Jewel Blue Lagoons

Vang Vieng. It has been awhile since I last posted and I’ve decided to revive this sleeping virtual space once again since life got in the way many moons ago. A quick search on google shows you blue lagoons, party scenes, countryside, tubing and varies exhilarating activities. These depictions were accurately true. Years ago, I was still a young, carefree, wild, risky; life of a party…

Idk what it says about my mental health, but I’ve started to rewatch Supernatural after dropping the show back in 2014, but I’m sure it says something

the thing about my mom is she'll see me having intermittent wanderlust and go "you can just do that! its not that hard/expensive! go wander around europe!" and like, well, it is? it kinda IS that hard and expensive

hallo ihr lieben,

das hier wird mein erster post & ich bin mir noch gar nicht so sicher was das hier wird - aber mal sehen.

Aktuell bin ich auf Bali, Canggu.

Ich bin vor ca. 1 Monat aus Deutschland raus & lebe jetzt ein wirkliches traumleben. Jeden Tag den Sonnenuntergang sehen, baden gehen, essen was ich will & wenn ich mal keine Lust auf irgendwas habe bleib ich einfach liegen.

Genau das ist es, was ich aktuell brauche - Ruhe & Frieden.

Und genauso geht es mir auch. Ich bin gelassen & lebe so vor mich hin.

Meine größte Angst ist es wieder heimzukehren, immernoch planlos wie meine Zukunft aussehen wird, und natürlich Affen.

Ich möchte trotzdem aus dem was ich aktuell mache & erlebe, etwas herausbringen.

Tipps, lustige Ideen und vielleicht interessiert es ja den ein oder anderen was so in Thailand & Bali abgeht.

Weitere Standpunkte wie Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Europa - kommen dann selbstverständlich auch noch dazu mit der Zeit. Aber alles mit der Zeit ;)

Ich hoffe ich treffe ein paar Travler- Herzen- und vielleicht sogar auf der Reise.

Mein Rucksack & ich würden uns freuen! 🌺

Bis bald.

Paldea Pokémon Centers are convenient and streamlined, but I miss the café/pub ambience that they had in Alola and Galar (I always felt happy going inside an Alola PC and hearing the special music) and honestly I think it’s inhumane to make poor Joy stand there with no protection from windchill in such a breezy outfit. She really does look like a konbini/gas station worker rather than a nurse which seems like a demotion!

I wish at the PCs in snowy locations she had a nice warm parka and leggings on. I wish she had a SEAT!

I've been packing my shit for tomorrow but because it's only for one night (a little over 24 hours all in all), I only managed to fill up the smallest one of my packing cubes. and it's making me nervous because WHAT am I forgetting here......

best part of the year is planning silly little vacations with your friends that almost dismantle the whole friend group but make it stronger in the end

have a trip planned for this summer and I'm so so excited and I'm anxious too about everything but wow I've been living for so long just going through the motions that days seemed to pass through me until they'd trickled down to weeks and then months since I got too sick to live on my own and now it feels like the wait is so long I really was meant to travel I wish I had the money to do it more

and to inaugurate my new posts line :

tips for staying in hostels:

(I had my first hostel experience in Brisbane this week and here's what I whish I knew beforehand)

have compartments in your bag ! you won't have a lot of space in your locker and likely no shelves, so it's a lot easier to have multiple small bags in a bigger one : for showering, going in the city, dirty clothes...

don't be shy and go up to people, if they don't want to talk you'll see it very quickly and if they want to you'll have a lot more fun and can meet lots of nice people!

look up the reviews and photos to have a general vibe of the hostel: some are a lot more friendly/welcoming while others are viewed just as a place to sleep, it all depends on your preference

think about how comfortable you are with sleeping/living with strangers, possibly of mixed genders, and book accordingly! (usually there's a female only option, for the same price or just a couple more dollars than the mixed dorm)

don't be hesitant about using the amenities (shared kitchen, dining area, etc), you paid for them and no one is judgemental! (I have anxiety and was quite scared but it worked out very well!)

idk how helpful this is gonna be but just in general don't be scared everyone's super nice and helpful! (be careful though, if you don't feel comfortable leave or ask the reception to change rooms!)
