i didnt expect the shift with mr beast to happen for another like 5 years tbh, idk why, i kind of thought it would come from an old disgruntled employee, but this gradual disillusionment is probably better for actually discussing issues, rather than a twitter bloodbath i guess

forever glad the dteam decided to stick with florida tbh

me too, on both counts! he seemed on top of the world (and really he still is, a few 100k tweets won’t change his view numbers) so him falling out of favor wasn’t on my radar for a good while yet. i don’t think he’s going anywhere anytime soon, and twitter discourse probably isn’t going to make a meaningful effect in how he presents himself. but if it pushes back against the general mr-beast-ification of youtube that’s been happening then i think it’s worthwhile :P

• TALIA NASCIMENTO•

IG info/bio: @/callmetalia333 | 524k followers | Journalist | TALIA. but u may have formerly known me as user: brdf0rdsvasquiff—rip!!!1! so don’t even think about it 😌

(23) 25 going on (26) years of age

I’ve read a canon that her name is just Talia and not short for anything & I agree with that + she’s always quick to correct someone if they get it wrong too

Her hometown is Watford, England

but she was originally born in Maidenhead in the backseat of a car during a severe rainstorm

Nonetheless watford taught her all she needed to know when it came to music

She found her first love when she heard the sound of music soundtrack for the v first time as a young girl but is often nervous to admit that?

her father is Brazilian and is a firefighter

her mother is Bulgarian and works as a secretary in a elementary school

her mother is more traditional than her father when it comes to their cultures

I originally felt like she gave only child vibes but I can deff see her giving off big sis energy since she did mention she has a younger brother

V protective over her little brother

there’s a three year age difference

her parents have separated multiple times before which caused a riff in the family dynamic

The constant coming and going from her dad became quite irritating

And Talia was the most vocal by wanting them to figure it out and NOT get a divorce

Which led to talia’s commitment issues when it came to relationships herself

was born with blue eyes yet they shifted to brown once she grew

“Tom-boy” growing up & still is

netball was her sport and man was it something to see her play?! She was quick on her feet and can definitely shoot far-range with ease

Always down for contact sports too

She lost count how many bruises and scrapes she would come home with much to her mother’s horror but she would always brush it off—it was never that big of a deal to her

yet she takes time in healing her scars with homemade treatments or purchases from beauty stores when she wants to show her legs off

she didn’t get into “girly” wear until recently, she never thought too much of her body or when she started to get curves...she always hid that behind big tee’s, fitted jeans, and kicks—that’s what she was used to

she’s got broad shoulders and toned arms

had thick bushy brows that almost formed a uni brow growing up

her mother used to have her hair always plaited since she is very superstitious, believing that “the devil lives in the woman’s hair”

yet talia’s hair texture was much different than her mother’s, maybe due to the fact that her mother always had her hair up and out of the way? Talia’s hair is much bigger, heavier, and naturally curly

+ her mother used to say some harsh things in Bulgarian about her hair — that says a lot when you’re taught to hate your hair trust!!!

when she got a little older and able to manage her own hair + afford it, She learned how to love it herself and that’s all that mattered. Her hair became v important to her, it was her source of comfort

that’s the only thing she’s high maintenance about tbh

she spends a lot of money on her hair but devacurl can still piss off

diffusing is one of her fav things to do to her hair—besides washing it, and deep conditioning, after a night of letting her hair air-dry

loves rose jam

has a embroidery machine, along with a collection of her work but only one piece is showcased in her flat. She didn’t want her place to look completely like her bába’s (Bulgarian: grandmother)

her closet is filled with many Havaianas, they’re all piled up in a wicker basket and ready to tumble over on her top shelf... if she moves one of the ceramic pots her mother left in her flat for luck, that whole shelf might come crashing down

Swears drinking guaraná the next morning cures any hangover you may have

commonly sleeps in big t-shirts and panties or not or booty shorts depending on her time of the month—it’s freeing to her

Has torn her achilles due to whatever contact sport she decided to join in on during a beach vacation with her mates

has a touch of arthritis in her shoulder

this is where her love for massages came from due to injuries she’s faced

+ It’s always a good sign when you can make someone else feel better ya know?

She’s been told she’s great with her hands ;) it all takes practice

bi mami *cringe* but she likes what she likes, and feels what she feels

she kinda has a type but doesn’t want to admit that

her mother doesn’t understand this but her father easily accepted her preference/orientation

her little brother was the first she came out to, “alright!...you still suck”

always wants to fix situations WHEN it comes to HER friends but is oblivious when it’s come to her own issues whether its in relationships/friendships +

was called out by one of her friends who she often argues/butts heads with from time to time “you’re always sticking your nose in people’s business but can’t solve your own shit!”

maybe it’s the journalist in her? she’s not afraid to ask questions or look at things from a outside perspective

her group of friends are all from different ethnic backgrounds to Indian to Ethiopian

has been in and out of relationships...maybe had one stable relationship? Outside of mc but that relationship failed after a year and she feels it has something to do with her parents and how she watched their relationship unfold but won’t openly admit that

Doesn’t like to argue in relationships and often is a little undermining with how she responses to her partner’s feelings...she’s trying to be better at being understanding and listening, her mother is like this with her father

Aquarius girl + Scorpio moon + Taurus rising

loves the water + watching water sports rather than playing them since she almost drowned once by letting her confidence get the best of her

used to be a directioner and isn’t ashamed to admit that!

take me home album stan 100% bitch there’s no point in arguing!!! Buh bye!!!

She is ashamed however to admit that she used to write for them, mostly ziam fics with a touch of Harry thrown in the mix as well...take that how u will

has a few merch pieces as well, they’re mostly loungewear + that powdery perfume they dropped. YES she still has it, no she won’t sell it to u

still supports them on the low since you know, she’s a music journalist and reviewing songs is what she makes a living for so why the hell not? They will always hold a special place in her heart. She grew with those boys

she’s not in denial like Hannah that they’re get back together

If someone wants her to film a reaction vid to zayn’s new album or release a written review? She WILL. Her top 3? 1. When loves around ft Syd 2. Outside 3. Unfuckwitable

If someone wants to hear her thoughts on Harry’s mv’s + breaking down his lyrics, she’ll tell you what you NEED to know whether U agree or not she don’t give a damn lol

Can throw hands and stomp a bitch out if she needs too. Has gotten kicked out of clubs/bars for defending her friends mainly not because someone chatted shit to her, that’s whatever but once you cross her friends? It’s on

Allegra got lucky 🦶🏼☕️ and Lucy

remained super close with jake and tim as expected...Rohan’s cool too ofc! but she’s not here for their rapping shit sorry. She’ll hit them both with a quick side eye and snarl if they start or if jake wants to recite some poetry. She’s outta here

Talia hardly had issues making friends easily with the boys it was always harder with the girls :/

they hang out all the time!

she actually became close with sammi as well, which was nice to have another girl friend around even tho they weren’t together in the house long like the others. She’s spontaneous, cute, resourceful, and kind so talia had no issue reaching out to her first to see what she was about outside of the show

don’t even ask her about what she thinks of the new seasons, she’s not here to chat shit and have her words twisted like she’s watched many of the cast deal with. If you want to talk about the over kill use of pop as the soundtrack for each season, then yeah she’ll talk to you about that

doesn’t use social media much, she finds it funny how whenever she does pop back in people are begging her to post SOMETHING so that they know that she’s alive

Pretty private

she also can’t grasp why they want her to do the bussit challenge? Lmao like hey don’t get her wrong, some of them were pretty great but she’s barely got a bum to bounce and little booties matter ofc!!! but she can’t see herself doing it unless she’s drunk off her arse!!!

maybe mc can convince her...for the fans duh!!! “Give the ppl what they want! Talia! It’s not like you won’t be around music!” “I’ll think about it...nah.”

she’s been busier since the show, able to tour more and WRITE which is what she loves to do

Her secret pleasure is watching those nurse shows and firefighting shows in her free time and those singing shows you already know that’s a given

Wanted to be some form of a nurse growing up but knew she could help people in another way

*inserts* “music Is The best Medicine” overused but true quote here!!

I feel like she’s a r&b lover

listens to those hour long rain sounds on YouTube to help herself fall asleep

she‘s not the best cook but she’s a foodie and she’s down to try new food always

occasionally her and Tim are jake’s Guinea pigs when he’s whipping something up for his menu 

and hates eating the same things all the time unless it’s breakfast! There’s not too much more you can do with that

that’s also her specialty, making breakfast for u in bed

Morning afters with her are intimate but humorous. She’ll poke fun if you’re both looking crazy, always joking and in the best mood whether things got physical or not she’s just happy to have you here 🥲

I think her love language is quality time

if you’re playing her route and Lucy is the ex, and you’ve decided to fully commit to each other I deff see Lucy still trying to pull some shit outside of the show just because she feels like she can but once Talia see’s that it’s really starting to get to you despite how much you try to brush it off or snap at Lucy or even Talia!!! Talia is on Lucy’s ass in seconds! She doesn’t need a ex to ruin her possible future , “you’re not gonna fuck up this good thing I’ve got just cause you’re flimsy at relationships babe, so go be a cunt somewhere else or you’ll be sorry. I promise.”

Hi!! I just read your omega!Steve ficlets and I was wondering if you could maybe continue it? Maybe to a reunion? :3

*softly, but with feeling*

three years ago...

Natasha chases Bucky and Steve follows her as best he can. Soon he rendezvous with Sam and Sam follows Natasha’s coordinates, to a hollowed-out old barn where she says she tracked Bucky. When they get there, Steve doesn’t seen any sign of her, but he knows she’s watching.

He gets out of the car and Sam pulls around, his window rolled down and his arm braced over the edge of the door. “Hey,” he calls, and Steve stops, and turns to look at him. “Good luck.”

Steve smiles. He’s not afraid of Bucky - he doesn’t think the Alpha would do anything to harm him or risk their child’s safety. Bucky knows everything - Steve told him everything the day the helicarrier had gone down and Bucky had mated with him on the riverbank and conceived their daughter with him. 

But Bucky has had months alone now, dealing with whatever memories and feelings Steve uncovered in him simply by existing, and it hasn’t been fair, and he’s not sure what to expect. He’s unafraid but he’s also unprepared and usually he likes winging shit but this is a little more delicate than going in and killing bad guys.

He takes a deep breath, and Sam drives away to meet with Natasha and, presumably, keep some surveillance going while he’s inside.

He knows as soon as he enters that Bucky has been living here. The place reeks of him, sweat and rut and Alpha all mixed together in a thick layer of smell that feels like dust and oil on Steve’s skin. It’s not so much unpleasant as it is startling, and Steve’s stomach has been more than sensitive nowadays.

He walks in and swallows harshly, shivering in the cool, still air. Then, he hears movement to his right. He doesn’t whirl around, doesn’t want Bucky to think he’s afraid or that he will put up with being stalked.

He sighs. “I know you’re here, Buck,” he says, and lifts his eyes to the rafters, then down to a stack of wooden pallets and sheets in the corner. There are oil drums, evidence of a half-assed tent of canvas and sack material, he can smell coal fires and the unmistakable scent of grease burned onto a hotplate. 

He steps farther in, into the shaft of light coming from the high windows in the barn. “What’re you so afraid of, huh?” he asks, and hears another shuffle, skitter to his left. He smiles and throws his arms out to either side of him. “C’mon. I could do this all day!”

“Still as mouthy as ever, I see.”

Steve smiles, closing his eyes, and turns to regard Bucky as he steps out from behind one of the load-bearing beams stretching down the middle of the barn. In the dust-grey darkness, Bucky’s eyes are a gleaming, pretty red. The red of fresh blood in sunlight. 

Bucky sucks in a breath, his nostrils flaring, and Steve sees him clench his fist. “What’re you doin’ here?”

“Thought it was obvious,” Steve says. “I’m here for you.”

“For me.” Bucky’s eyes drop to Steve’s stomach, the outward curve of it visible under his shirt, and he swallows loud enough that Steve hears his throat click. “I’m not...you shouldn’t’a followed me.”

“Then you shouldn’t’ve come,” Steve replies. He steps forward and Bucky tenses but doesn’t move back. Unwilling to give even a foot of ground. “You sought me out. You bit me. You knotted me. When we were kids you were the one who yanked me outta the fire when I was in over my head. Well, I’m kinda in over my head here, Buck. What’re you gonna do about it?”

It’s a cheap move, and Steve knows it. Bucky swallows again, his fingers flexing, and he looks down. That same expression - heartbroken, a gunshot wound to the stomach - takes over his face.

“I can’t...be a good mate to you, kid,” he says. Steve presses his lips together, swallows hard, tries to fight back the tightness in his throat. “I don’t have it in me to be what you need. What you deserve.”

“Cut the bullshit,” Steve grits out. It’s strange, he didn’t think anyone could make him angrier or more full of righteous fury than Tony, but Bucky is really giving him a run for his money. He steps forward again and they’re almost toe to toe and Bucky isn’t backing down, won’t back down. And Steve can’t afford to, either. “Just...stop. Either you’re with me or you’re not.”

Bucky is silent.

Steve growls and his hand shoots out and grabs Bucky’s shoulder, his human one, squeezing tight. “If you let me leave, you don’t get to come after me again,” he says. Bucky finally lifts his eyes and they’re wide and red and pained. His jaw clenches. “You don’t get to touch me, or even look at me, and you damn sure don’t ever get to see her.”

Bucky’s eyes flash and he lifts his upper lip in a small snarl. His metal arm snaps out and he grabs Steve by the neck - it’s a gentle touch, but full of authority - and he turns Steve and presses him gently but firmly against the support beam.

He growls again, louder this time, and leans in close enough that their noses brush. His forehead is cool when it lands against Steve’s and Steve goes tense, swallowing harshly and able to feel the metal pressed tight to his throat.

Bucky doesn’t say anything else, but Steve can see his eyes, see the anger and the pain in them fading. A decision is being made and Steve has only one card left to play.

He licks his lips and lets out a soft whine. “Please,” he whispers, and gentles his hands, touches Bucky’s cheek lightly, runs the backs of his knuckles down his mate’s jaw. “Please, Buck. Come home. Stay with me.”

Bucky sighs, closing his eyes for a brief moment, a slow blink, and when he opens them again the red hasn’t changed, but the indecision is gone.

He slides his hand from Steve’s neck, down his chest, and rests it over Steve’s swollen stomach. His other one cups Steve’s jaw and pulls him into a kiss, chaste but passionate. It makes Steve’s lungs stutter and his heart thud heavily behind his shaking ribs.

Bucky kisses him once, then again, and when he does it a third time, Steve hears him let out a little rumble that sounds like a promise.

“Is...that a ‘Yes’?” Steve finally asks, when they have to pull apart to breathe.

Bucky smiles. It’s genuine, familiar, real. “Yeah, kid,” he replies. “Let’s get you outta the fire.”

Car Insurance?

Last year I paid my car insurance in one hit, online. This year, renewal price was higher because I got 50 cash back last year. I saved 120 by searching around and went ahead with the new deal. Unbeknown to me the first company renewed my insurance without my knowledge because they had my credit card details from the year before. I ended up being insured with 2 companies for 3 days and I went 109 over my limit on my credit card. Not only is it illegal to be insured by 2 companies at the same time, they did it without my knowledge! Are they allowed to do this? I have, I hope, resolved it but if any charges are incurred either for cancelling my previous insurance or going over my credit limit are these retrievable?""

What are the minimum requirements to insure a moped (UK)?

I have recently passed my car driving test and was told a easy way to reduce my insurance cost (because it was 3000+ per year) was to insure a moped for a year, not drive it but thus getting a years no claims. Obviously this then will reduce the insurance quote for the next year. (I am also going to undertake the PassPlus Scheme). So... I was just wondering what the minimum requirements are to insure a moped? Do I have to have passed a CBT (Cycle Basic Training)? Do I need a motorcycle license or will my UK driving license cover a moped up to 50cc? Does the moped need to be taxed throughout the whole year or just for the start of the insurance cover? (EG: if the tax runs out during the policy will it invalidate it?) Does the moped need a valid MOT or is it alright if it expires during the year that the policy will run?""

How do I get a nice car with decent insurance as an age 17 male?

For some time now, I had been looking at subaru imprezas, of which I love.

The quote was for an 04, so if it is that insane I dont see how some kids own 03s, 04s, even a few 07s, as my parents arent poor by any means, and I know all the other kids do not have rich parents. Even an 02 accord with 80k miles was over 3000 a year under my dad with collision. Is there any possible way I can get a nice car, something like an 02 impreza is ideal, without paying so much insurance with collision? I am perfectly aware of the fact that if I get a 95 civic with no collision, insurance wont b a problem. However, I have some hard earned money to spend on a car, and I cant see how I am constantly heading towards the single path of a bucket without collision. Please help me""

Can't afford healthcare but make too much for medicaid?

I'm so frustrated with how our country handles healthcare - it should be a basic right for all citizens, not a big business. Anyway, my boyfriend and I are full-time students currently living off of student loans and not working while we are in a very demanding program. We have no health insurance and our school does not have a health clinic. My boyfriend has been having severe gastrointestinal issues that are getting increasingly worse, he fears he may have bowel cancer or some horrible disease and wants to get checked out. We looked into medicaid and found out he does not qualify b/c he has more than 2k in the bank (all loan money), but we need that money to pay rent and eat and pay tuition and books. The cheapest health insurance we can find is $150 a month and doesn't include any extra testing (like a colonoscopy, etc.) So, what does your average middle american trying to get by and go to school to become a better person do? Should we just wait until he dies? Seriously. Rapists and murderers in prison are getting better healthcare than your average family. This place sucks, I want to move to Europe. Any suggestions on how we can get him affordable or free help before he dies?""

Insurance companies that offer...?

Also..... if they were to accept your insurance company's insurance for their rental.. how would they do it? do you have to fill out extra forms etc? because if its a lot of hassle, and their rates are the same.. then there's no point in adding the rental insurance to my regular insurance right??""

Our definitive guide to travelling the world long term

“Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to great places! You’re off and away!” ~ Dr Seuss. So you’ve decided you want to travel, and you’re pretty sure it’s going to be for a while (hooray!)? Perhaps you’ve booked your flights already, you may even know where you want to go. But what next? Do you book all your transfers and hotels now? How do you pack for different seasons on the road? And how much do you need to budget for, anyway?! While the dream might be to jump on a plane without a plan and get outta here indefinitely, sadly the reality of planning to travel the world for a while is definitely not as easy as that. After spending the past year living the nomad life around the globe, we’ve definitely been around the block (and temple, mountain, café, and gallery) a few times during the last rotation of the sun. Which is why we’ve come up our ultimate guide on how to long term travel – to help those of you out there who want to take the plunge and live the nomadic life indefinitely. HOW TO TRAVEL THE WORLD LONG TERM | OUR DEFINITIVE GUIDE BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME Before you even think about leaving for a life of long term travel, work out the answers to questions the below – it’ll guide your preparation: What’s your travel style going to be? Luxury, backpacker, etc. Why do you want to travel the world? What do you want to get out of the experience? What’s your travel budget? Are you travelling the world solo, with a friend, or partner? How long do you want to travel the world for? ACCOMMODATION Considering one of the largest costs of your trip will be accommodation, you’re going to have to work out what kind of traveller you’re going to be pretty early on in the planning stages. Are you going to rough it and camp, or stay in luxurious hotels? Spend your nights at budget backpackers or glampack your way around the world? Answer that question, then plan your budget accordingly. AIRBNB AirBnB is our first port of call (bad travel pun!) when looking for accommodation, and it should be yours too. Sign up here using our exclusive discount code and you’ll receive £25/$40 off your first booking. How good is that! HOTELS COMBINED If you haven’t heard of Hotels Combined, it’s essentially the Skyscanner of accommodation. It compares all the top travel sites to find the best hotel deals. HOSTELWORLD If we’re not staying in AirBnB’s, we’re generally staying in hostels, and we use Hostelworld to find the best hostels/cheapest hostels in our destination of choice. Learn more about hostels with this brilliant intro guide to hostel living! MONEY MATTERS After you’ve decided your travel style, then comes the rest of your budget. Some things to consider: What are your eating habits like? Save more, or less, cash according to how hangry you’re likely to get if you can’t afford food! What about activities? Are you planning on doing many tours, sightseeing, or other additional activities? These are extra on top of your budget, so make sure you’ve also allocated an ‘activities allowance’. As a guide, a 2-day safari in Botswana’s Chobe National Park is likely to set you back a minimum of USD$350, while a cooking class in Laos might set you back USD$50-70 extra You’re going to have to replace things on the road. Toiletries run out eventually, you lose things, clothes get ripped and fall apart, or you might have to buy new clothes to suit a totally new climate (i.e. winter!). Have an ‘unexpected extras’ allowance ready to go too! Tell your bank that you’re travelling overseas before you leave to avoid having your cards suspended or cancelled due to suspected fraudulent activity! You will spend more than you’ve planned to… So always have a contingency reserve up your sleeve just in case. If you’re keen to travel the world, here’s how we saved to travel the world, and you can too. PLANNING AND ADMIN Plan ahead but please, don’t plan everything. Locking yourself into a rigid itinerary takes away your ability to stay longer in a place you love, or move on from a place you don’t. Plan the necessary stuff – long haul flights are often cheaper booked in advance, organise accommodation for places you know will be busy – but allow yourself the freedom to roll with the opportunities your travels will offer along the way. VISAS AND PASSPORTS This is the least fun part of travel – the official stuff! But, remembering the follow tips will help make your life 39480239 times easier when you’re standing across from an angry looking border official! Know ahead of time whether you need a visa for the countries you’re visiting – it can become extremely expensive and time-draining if you suddenly have to do a mercy dash to another town to organise it, or shell out extra at a border for faster processing. Carry printed photocopies of all your important documents somewhere other than your document wallet. Also have copies of your vital documents saved somewhere online-accessible, (we use a Google Drive folder), with a family member at home, on your email… anywhere! That way, if everything else goes missing you’ll always be able to download the copies until you can organise replacements. Many places won’t let you enter the country with less than six months left on your passport, or less than 2-4 blank pages left. Organise a new one if your passport’s up for renewal soon, or running out of space. TRAVEL GUIDES Never underestimate the power of a hardcopy travel guide. Internet can be patchy in many places, which is obviously going to hinder your smooth planning. We’ve always travelled with a trusty Lonely Planet guide, so regardless of internet issues we’ve can always check our options. Their information on the history, politics, people, culture and language of the country is also invaluable reading on long bus rides! Or, check out some of our travel guides! TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR LONG TERM TRAVEL Travel insurance is not an optional extra. We repeat… TRAVEL INSURANCE IS NOT AN OPTIONAL EXTRA!  Read our ultimate guide to travel insurance. Have you considered what will happen when: An airline loses your luggage Something valuable gets damaged, lost, or stolen An emergency situation (political crisis, natural disaster) forces your itinerary to be changed or cancelled completely? You’re involved in some kind of accident, get seriously sick, or injured? Getting a quote for a year’s worth of travel can seem like a daunting and expensive cost – but don’t even think about leaving for the airport unless you’ve got it. Things will always go wrong, and this way you’ll be covered in the event that it does. For simple and flexible travel insurance, get a quote from World Nomads now!  PACKING  Personally, we find backpacks definitely easier to travel with than roller bags or suitcases. They’re easily swung on your back, strapped on and out of the way, and keep your hands free (Mim used this Osprey backpack in S/M during our travels!). On the other hand, roller bags take up way too much space, trip people over, and are a nightmare on potholed or cobblestone streets – not to mention carrying them up stairs! Take half what you think you need. You’ve gotta carry everything you take for 12 months. You won’t use half of it, and it just adds weight. Don’t take your good stuff away with you (okay girls, maybe one nice, versatile dress) – your clothes are going to end up looking like you crawled backwards through a thorn bush covered in mud by the time you’re finished with them. Make sure it’s the clothes you don’t care about that it happens to. Learn how to pack like a pro with our tips. ON THE ROAD How you move about on the road is up to you and what makes you feel comfortable. That said, our tips for when you are finally travelling are: MONEY Saving for your trip before you go isn’t enough, you also need to cut your costs while on the road: Look for the cheapest deals on flights (Skyscanner, obviously!), accommodation (use Hotels Combined for the cheapest accommodation options around the world), and tours. It’s generally always cheaper to book things like safaris when you get to a place, rather than online. Track your costs just as you tracked your savings (see the apps section for the perfect way to do this!). Street food will always be cheaper than a meal at a restaurant. Where possible, buy your own food instead of constantly shelling out in cafes or restaurants. We carried muesli, snacks, and lunch stuff with us most of the time, so that we could look after ourselves till dinner time! Read how we saved to travel the world long term. ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORT Much of this comes down to personal preference… But we found the following tips extremely helpful: If you’re arriving late at night, organise your first night’s accommodation ahead of time to avoid any issues, but try not to book more than a couple of nights ahead in case you get there and don’t feel the vibe as much as you thought you would. Travel slow. Stay longer in less places, and get to know them really well. The richest travel experiences we’ve had came from feeling ‘like a local’ in a place. Plus, by staying like a local for longer, you’re supporting the market owners, taxi drivers, shopkeepers and guesthouse owners in the area – and that’s awesome. Avoid using taxis wherever possible and take the local transport instead. It’s cheaper, you’ll meet more locals, and get a more authentic perspective of where you’re travelling in. You don’t always have to have your flights locked in months in advance – we often booked our next one only a couple of weeks before. Sometimes we had to pay for it, other times we lucked out with an amazing deal that made up for it! THE EXTRAS Back everything up, all the time. There’s no excuse these days not to back your stuff up to the cloud or a hard drive – even if you need to duck into an internet cafe! Keep good notes – don’t rely on your memory to remember the little beach cafe you had incredible seafood curry in Goa, or the afternoon you spent exploring the tiny temple you stumbled across in Luang Prabang. Write them down in your notebook and you’re guaranteed they’ll be there to reminisce on forever (unless you lose your notebook, which we don’t recommend… at all!). Podcasts will save your life on long bus rides, train rides, flights, etc. Plus they’re a great way to keep learning and keep your mind sharp while on the road! Take a book, and when you’re finished, trade it for a new one at the next hostel you go to. APPS Maps.me: a brilliant app that allows you to download a map of a place and access it offline later. Perfect for when you’re arriving into a new city without internet access! XE – Currency Exchange:  up to date currency rates and the ability to convert costs in real time – particularly handy when bargaining in a Cambodian market! Trabee Pocket: a dream app for any travel budgeting, Trabee allows you to plan your budget and manage your daily expenses so easily it’s ridiculous. You’ll never have any excuse for running out of money again! Check out ‘Appy Days’ – our ultimate guide to the travel apps you need  LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF Travel is amazing – and amazingly tiring. No matter what everyone at home thinks, it’s not all lazing on beaches and soaking up the sun. Some days are extremely long and uncomfortable, you constantly have to be ‘switched on’ mentally, things can go wrong, and missing your loved ones and creature comforts can take its toll. Successful long term travel comes down to how well you look after yourself while on the road. Got sick on the road? Here’s our guide on how to survive! KEEP HEALTHY, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY How do you feel at home when you’re not exercising or sleeping enough, and eating poorly? Add in the intensity of travel, and you’ve got yourself a breeding ground for illnesses, exhaustion, and mental stress. Keep fit. Yes you’ll walk heaps, but also try to find different ways to exercise and get that heart rate up without needing a gym, such as yoga, or personalised workouts in a park. Get enough sleep (eye masks and earplugs are essential for noisy dorms!) Do your best to mix in some healthy options with all the amazing food you’re eating! Keep in touch with home. Sometimes the connection allowed us a good chat with our loved ones, other times we had a 10 second delay and a pixelated outline of their faces. No matter what, it was always worth it for time with the people we love best. BE KIND TO YOURSELF You’re never going to look very put together when you long-term travel. Some days you won’t shower, your clothes will be dirty or holey, and your hair will be fit for a bird to nest in. Embrace it, and remember the trade-off is beach hair, sun-kissed skin, and eyes that sparkle with adventure instead. Trying all the local food is great, but don’t feel like you’ve failed if you eat western food every now and then. We even wolfed down McDonalds AND KFC in Bangkok after spending 3 months sampling all the delicious food in SE Asia because we just needed something familiar. No regrets here! Take time to relax by yourself every now and then, especially if you’re travelling with another person. Bad things WILL happen. It’s how you handle them that matters. Stay positive, and try accept that just because things happen differently here, doesn’t mean they’re better or worse than at home. At the end of the day, it’s up to you how to travel the world. Whether you live by all these tips or not, always keep in mind that you’re one of the lucky few who gets to travel and experience the world outside your own front yard – that alone is amazing!
