    Newbie with some basic questions

    Newbie with some basic questions

    Well, i did 3 months in Balkans, europe and central-asia. I type like a 80 year old on a smart phone (i hate smart phones, only use it for GPS and camera) - so to make all my planning, tickets, Chouchsurfing requests, emails, reading news etc. I had had to, and i did not regret it. :) To touch...

    Newbie with some basic questions

    No problem. I will post pictures later. :) It sounds like a lot, from my list to be - but its really not. I used the 22l pack for a 3 month backpacker trip to Asia with way more stuff than this + a 14 inch laptop. So, i did some changes after this forum threat. NO jeans, after 924823 votes...

    Newbie with some basic questions

    You right now i guess... hehehe Just to clarif; before i get killed by angry feminists. I see nothing wrong with what i wrote. From a early stage, men are the "hunter/provider". Its in our blood. So when we see a young girl who need / can be provided for - its in our blood, biologically...

    Newbie with some basic questions

    Well, i will make a controversial answer to that. Im quit active on Couchsurfing and have hosted 300+ people back home in Norway. And young womans (in the 20s), get it SO easy in many terms. Take one example, i tried to hitchhike a couple of times, and ended up standing for hours. One time, a...

    Newbie with some basic questions

    davebugg ... yes, X vs Y is always a endless discussion based on age, physical form, health, weight, nationality, experiance, sex, standard of convenience etc etc etc :) The good thing here, is that its always a store note so close, its worst when you do hiking in the montains for weeks and then...

    Newbie with some basic questions

    davebugg... thanks for your answer Yeah, i know how bothering i can be when new members just jump in and ask the most obvious questions. I tried to read, watch Youtube videos and all that, but seems like everybody have there own opinion based on personal preferences. I did not find a lot of...

    Is anyone here knowledgeable about WordPress blogs?

    First you need a domain (Name of the webpage you want xxxxxx.com) Then you need a webhost who offers auto-install off CMS-platforms like WP. - I can recommend Servage.net (If you sign up - but dont finish your order and wait for 1 week, they send you a 50% discount code). They offer a great...

Portugal is one of the safest countries on earth (not even a joke, its a rated as the 5th safest country in the world - https://barnes-portugal.com/en/2016/11/portugal-is-the-fifth-safest-country-in-the-world/) People are...

    Hello from Norway and Portugal :)

    Thanks for your answer. I have a "kit" with a small shovel, dog-poop bags, hand disinfection and paper in a practical rompetaske. =) Important to clean up after, yes. Nobody wants to see stuff like that laying around the trek.
