Solo trip to europe for two weeks this august, 27/F, deciding between two options: city and beachside or maybe both! I generally like walkable cities, good food, bespoke wine bars, stay a while in cafe scenes. Aside from London, Paris, Lisbon, (been to these cities already) any recommendations?? Keeping in mind that europe is still easing out of covid restrictions, would like to head somewhere that’s going to be more open. TIA :).

Prague is a good one too. And perhaps Greek islands.

Hmmm we might need to think about whats actually open in Europe in August, generally Europe shuts down in August so all the Europeans can go on vacation. No clue how covid will change that

I was in Spain May-July & Italy August 2018 and had some issues with that actually.

Spain was just starting to close but quite a few of the restaurants I had picked out in Italy (Rome, Florence, Milan, etc) were closed! Not sure what that’ll look like this year as we didn’t really have issues w/ attractions being closed but definitely is something to consider.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
