✈️ Nomad diaries, note #2121

🗺️ 3 months, 6 countries, countless train rides — and a backpack full of lessons:

☑️ Books are heavy. Audible is fun.

☑️ Jeans weigh more than you think.

☑️ More undies (Aussie for underwear) = less stress over laundry.

☑️ Hair strainer is more effective than hair dryer - which exists in any hotel/airbnb.

☑️ You can buy whatever you need wherever you get to, so don’t stress about packing “everything I need”.

☑️ One pair of good walking shoes beats three “cute but blistery” pairs.

☑️ I’m a soft mattress kind of girl, 2 pillows minimum, 3 ideally.

☑️ Switzerland doesn’t have mosquitos so you can sleep with open windows

☑️ Google Maps’ “10 min walk” = 20 with luggage and cobblestones.

☑️ If the hotel says “city view,” it might mean “view of the neighboring building”

☑️ Traveling in the EU? Drop flights & annoying airports. Trains are more fun.

☑️ No ID/passport check on a train, no luggage weight limit.

☑️ Traveling with bitcoin is amazing.

☑️ Cities and merchants that accept bitcoin are more fun, and smarter.

☑️ Lightning payments works faster than most card machines (except in Lugano 😅)

☑️ “Do you take bitcoin?” is my new icebreaker in any language.

☑️ Bitcoin meetups abroad double as instant friendship machines.

☑️ Dual citizenship rocks.

💡What’s your best tip for travelling?

🛫 Looking forward to exploring 6 more countries in the next 3 months!
