UK (Scotland was lovely and trains are readily available if you need to get further south) and Italy (same train feedback)— Italy is a bit more painful solo because you can’t escape couples and their PDA

Lisbon 🇵🇹, Paris 🇫🇷

Portugal 🇵🇹

Turkey

Berlin, budapest, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg are great for solo traveling. The first three cities especially if you want to meet other solo travelers at hostels and on tours

Budapest and Prague for cheap food, great beers, and affordable food tours if you’re into that stuff. Culture and art in Vienna and Berlin are unbeatable too

I’m going that timeframe! Starting out in Zurich!

All the Balkan countries are very cheap to get around - and also safe for solo traveling! Albania, Montenegro, north Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia etc

Pretty much any EU country is safe for solo travel. If you’re newer to solo travel and would prefer somewhere with a more established tourist infrastructure you might want to stick to western, Central Europe, or the Nordics. Otherwise just go where you’re interested.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

Please help 🙏 Has anyone done human/employee due diligence before? I’m thinking I’m going to approaching it where I do a mix of 1:1 and workshop style “interviews” to assess the quality and skills of people coming from a company to be acquired. How does one does this in practice? What types of questions should I be asking given I don’t have domain expertise in all these areas, and what does an final output/deliverable look like? It’s like 50 people.

V5 Legal Assistant here (2 years in industry, started at current firm in late April). I’m on pace for 2700 billable hours / year. To boot, that rate is going up because of all of the 65+ hour weeks lately, and the first month being billed around 40.

I was just told that I may not qualify for any bonuses because I haven’t been here for 1 year.

Is this normal? Am I crazy for thinking that I should be getting a *significant* bonus for all of the crazy hours and deadlines?
