Not aimed at any particular person or website, just some thoughts about trends that annoy me. (Yes today is a rather slow day)

  • Have an actual opinion. Many blogs are trying harder than the local tourism board to promote how flawlessly perfect each destination is. It feels like a bland SEO race to the bottom where everything is described as a unique and popular destination.

  • Make it obvious what you did. I would be hard pressed to tell if some bloggers actually even went to the same continent as the destination in the post, or if they just combined 10 minutes of TripAdvisor and Wikipedia with some stock photos.

  • On which note I would rather see a wonky photo taken on a potato in poor light conditions than yet another stock photo. Sometimes a stock photo can nicely illustrate conditions or a view that you just couldn’t get (or missed the chance of) yourself, but when every last photo is a stock photo then it feels fake. Bonus points if the stock photo is clearly the wrong place which has a similar name.

  • If there are things that you didn’t do but think might be good then by all means mention them as ideas – but don’t confidently talk about how amazing they are. Don’t talk about somewhere being a cycling paradise with 152 bike routes (or whatever Komoot or the first result in Google says) none of which you rode and then back it up with a stock photo of somewhere else entirely.

  • Don’t get a bot to write it. If you didn’t experience it (or at least research it) yourself then you are not adding any value by just trying to pad your blog out. Best case it will just be bland, worst case you won’t know when it makes an obvious mistake and you are going to end up looking like an amateur.

  • If you collaborate with others make sure they actually know what they are talking about. I have seen guest posts from bloggers who barely knew the place they were covering and didn’t actually bother to check basic facts or even their spelling. One blogger has been the guest expert for a certain city numerous times, despite the fact they seemingly went there once, make many mistakes in each article, and don’t have anything to say beyond the very obvious.

  • Don’t make purely affiliate link posts. If you make a post about how you spent 1 night in Munich, then your top 10 places to stay in Munich is clearly meaningless booking.com affiliate linkage. Likewise when your top 10 day trips from Munich all happen to be GetYourGuide links with generic descriptions (and half of them are the same trip but with the sights in a different order) then it isn’t going to do much to convince me to put any trust in you.

  • Go easy on the adverts. I don’t mind a few, but when there is an advert between every paragraph/image then I am not sticking around to see what you have to say regardless of how good it is (especially if more are popping out of the header/footer and sidebar too).

  • Be transparent on any sponsorships. What does ‘Made in collaboration with X tourism’ mean?

  • Remember that everyone can see your ‘work with me’ page. You can make all the effort in the world to appear authentic and genuine, but then having a ‘work with me’ page that lists the numerous things you will do for money and cites your followers like a farmer counting livestock then it doesn't convince me too much as a reader.

Me and one of my best friends had planned a 10-day Eurail trip across the East of Europe (started in Hungary, now we were headed to Romania, then Bulgaria and Greece). Today (3rd day of the trip) we had a lot of troubles with our trains and she broke down from the amount of stress and decided she needed to go back home. So now I'm on my way to Bucharest on my own.

Does anyone have any tips for this situation? Have you been in a situation like this? Or even if you wanna share some nice places to visit / things I could do on my own, haha... I'm pretty extroverted, love doing things with others, so travelling alone isn't that appealing to me, although I believe it could be a nice experience too.

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the lovely comments, tips, stories and encouragement :) I'm continuing my trip and actually beginning to really look forward to my alone time in Romania and more. A lot of you suggested hostels which is a great idea, but I won't be able to do that much since we already pre-booked most our accomodation. To those making fun of me for asking random people on Reddit: I mainly came here to see if people had similar experiences so that I'd feel more okay in such a sudden scary situation. It's not that I can't take care of myself, just needed some support. Anyway, thank you all for sharing your thoughts and being so encouraging <3 Here's to solo traveling I guess!

EDIT2: Some of you guys find it strange that my friend left just because of this. I'd say the train situation was kind of medium-stressful compared with other travel fuckups I've had... the train we wanted was fully booked and the one we were taking had to take a different route bc of some problems on track so we had to change five times, and then found out it's not even going to the final station where we needed to get. I think the problem was that this past half-year has been pretty rough on both of us, and things just kind of accumulated for her. I'm more careless than she is so I took it more lightly, but for her it was just a breaking point I guess. I don't blame her and understand she did what she needed to.

It seems some people are quite lost on how to create a basic server to client setup to hide their current location IP so that it appears they are in their home location while actually not. Yes, we have a resource in the Wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/digitalnomad/wiki/vpn. I contacted the mods about modifying it to be more clear and correct a few minor things, but never received any response. Also never received a response about including https://thewirednomad.com in the sidebar, but I digress...

I've had at least one or two redditors from this community ask me for a more clear step-by-step instruction. The only issue is I can only create it based on somewhat specific hardware, but I think it could help a lot of people. Though I understand there are some who will be too unfamiliar with using the command line that it will not be of any benefit.

Equipment needed:

  • Server: Raspberry Pi 4B (any Linux "thin client" will do, $50-100), you could also use another GL.iNet router but Tailscale exit node is in beta still for those devices.

  • Travel router: GL.iNet Beryl AX (on sale for $109)

  • Misc. 1-2 ethernet cables

Basic steps:

  1. Connect the server computer (ex. Raspberry Pi 4B) to your local internet by configuring it for ethernet, then plug the Pi into your home router's LAN port.

  2. Configure the server computer to have a static IP on your home network by editing /etc/network/interfaces. Note the subnet must match your local internet's... so if your computer's IP starts with 192.168 then use that, or in my case Xfinity router uses 10.0.0. This is like 4 lines of code inside an already existing file in the filesystem.

Here's my /etc/network/interfaces

    auto eth0    
    iface eth0 inet static
        post-up /sbin/ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee off 
    address 10.0.0.YY
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 10.0.0.X
    dns-nameservers 10.0.0.X 8.8.8.8

3. Install Tailscale on the server (sudo apt-get install tailscale) and turn it on as an exit node. Navigate to Tailscale web admin panel and confirm everything is turned on correctly. Tailscale documentation is very good, so check that out. https://tailscale.com/kb/1103/exit-nodes/

4. Configure the client travel router to point to the exit node so any traffic coming into the router (i.e., your work laptop) passes through your server VPN back at home. This requires adding subnets. Can be a little tricky at first, but still very easy. https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/

5. Confirm your client device is getting your home VPN (aka same IP as your server/exit node) by using this linux command:

dig -4 +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com. 

Obviously if you're on your work computer with Windows and cannot use that command, then just go to a web browser and use whatsmyip.com.

Lastly, remember that your home server's upload speed is your client's DOWNLOAD speed.
