Dreaming of a very specific vacation, and looking for help.
I am a 35 gay male who is used to staying in fancy hotels in big cities across the world. This time around I am looking for a small town (likely in Europe) where I can rent a cute Airbnb, walk to/from everywhere in the town, drink coffee and eat pastries in the mornings, walk to the local bar(s) at night, and just really get away from reality.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hey all - I have to head to a Smartsheet conference in September in Seattle at the convention centre. I’m planning to explore a few days before (Thursday to Sunday), before it starts Monday. Where do people suggest a good bang for the buck hotel to explore and meet people and is easily accessible? I’ll likely shift hotels when the conference starts.
Toronto dude here so recommendations are appreciated!

Alright folks - who thinks they had the best holiday party this year? 🎉

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

I'm a 25y male in a 3y relationship with a 24y female. For the past couple of years her libido have gone down by a lot, she said that she doesn't know why, already have went to some gynecologists and none come with any solutions.
We had this talk and she said that she doesn't feel desire, the times we do sex she said she do bc I started but after that she enjoy (She never starts)
Have anyone had similar experiences and overcome that? We really have few sex relations and this bothers me a little

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
