I'm planning on visiting Italy this fall! I am super excited because the Renaissance was my favorite history period to study when I was a kid, and I'm also a fan of ancient history. It'd be fun to finally see the places I've read so much about. I am thinking of maybe also visiting Switzerland and France too. I'm currently trying to figure out the logistics of that. The stories about the hostel prices make me nervous. I don't know why, but I can only see other comments on the main instance, and not through the instance I'm on. I found this community on feddit.de.
In the winter, though it will more likely will be at the start of 2024, I want to visit India. As a solo mid-20s woman, I have decided that I will join a group tour for the first time. I did a lot of research, read stuff online, and asked Indian friends irl, and there were a lot of mixed opinions. I figured it's better to play it safe the first time, and that if I felt I'd be fine traveling in the country alone, I could always go back on my own. There's so much to see there!
I have the travel toiletries set from Kitsch, and I like them. It comes with little decanting tools to make them easier to fill. I moved on to bar shampoo and conditioner though to reduce my liquids. I recently bought the toothpaste container from Matador, but I haven't used it for travel yet.
I prefer ebooks because it's more portable, and I can have a bunch of books on hand. Recently, I have a new habit of highlighting sentences that stick out to me or points that I want to remember. I would never do this with a physical book because I would feel like I'm messing up my book. I do buy a physical copy if it's a book I love though. I absolutely cannot do audiobooks because I will tune them out and focus on other things. It's in one ear and out the other. I find it easier to focus on written media, so I generally prefer to read. I'm not a podcast fan either.
I honestly don't have a system. I tend to just pick perfumes based on whims and plans for the day. I don't really pay attention to seasons, so I'll be wearing a winter perfume in the summer. 😄 When I get new perfumes, I usually prioritize testing those for a full wear over wearing what I already have. I usually put on two a day depending on the perfume's longevity. I don't use all of my scents, and this year I've been trying to be better about that.
I hope you enjoy them! I'm still deciding on my order from the Nighttripping Fairies collection. Four Days sound amazing!
I've been studying Japanese for a few years. I was recently in Japan for about a month, and while I was able to read and understand a lot of what people were saying, I could barely speak. It was like my brain kept freezing up. It was frustrating, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to know where I'm at. I'm also starting to learn Spanish because I want to go to some South and Central American countries next year. For now, my goal is just to get the basics down.
Ooo What did you get from them? Some of my favorites are Frigg, Anthropophagia, Holy Terror, Devilish, and Haint.
I'm glad this was created! This was one of the few communities I participated in back on reddit. I've been into indies for a few years, and my favorite house is Arcana Wildcraft.
