Ugh pick your words well. You probably mean, what makes me instantly “dislike” someone. 🌚
- People who show off and are self obsessed. 😷
- People who mistreat others and are basically mannerless. I can’t even stand ill-mannered kids and careless parents.
- LIES 🤩
It’s understandable if you don’t want to share something, don’t but lying is never okay.
- Kinda hate irresponsible people as well and the ones who’re a spoil sport are annoying AF. 😤
- Again if you’re saving and are low on money, that’s okay but if there’s no problem and you’re just a miser? Ew you 😷
- Dislike the people who’d rather be at home for food, for movies. Whatever it may be, they’d rather do it at home and again not because of finances but because they’re laid back like that. No thanks.
- People that always want to rest and sleep, while travelling. 🤡 They spoil everything for real! Especially if you’re bound to go to places together.
- The aura ouff 🌚 sometimes someone just exists and you don’t like them. They just don’t feel like a good person, you know? Aye reminds me of this one time amma introduced me to this women who was a hafiz-e-Quran and I instantly disliked her. Later amma got to know that woman was doing some weird shit, to her 🤡 as an effort to keep amma close to her.
Crazy world!

I really can't do more than 3 months of backpacking. Stuff that's okay at first really gets on my nerves after awhile. Getting next to no sleep, dealing with annoying drunk people in hostels, getting scammed, constantly watching my back, etc. I love it in short bursts but I'm always happy to be back "home" wherever that is. I'm currently living outside of my home country and much prefer spending a year or two in a different country and working, living, and meeting friends here. That way I can have my privacy and sleep and learn what it truly feels like to live in a country rather than just being a tourist passing through. I'm hoping to spend a year or more somewhere in Europe and Australia before settling down somewhere.
After my second long term trip (with no original return date), I'm returning home after the 5 month mark. Things didn't really pan out as I'd hoped, but I've realized that, partly due to personality, partly due to age (29), that I now want other things. Namely to start building things (skills, hobbies, money, relationships, a community), all of which although achievable, are very hard while you're travelling around with no permanency.
I don't know about that. After I had been here a year, and had been studying Chinese for most of that time, I began to feel more and more welcome. A larger and larger percentage of my close friends came from local Taiwanese rather than expat English teachers.
As someone that lived in Taiwan/Taipei for about 1.5 years (on and off) I'll tell you that you will NEVER fully assimilate into that culture. Other than the ex-pat community, you'll always be looked at as an outsider. I really can't explain it - but that place is seriously pretty xenophobic. Super super super nice, but unless you're from there...you'll always be viewed as an outsider.
I set out on a year long trip that I recently (after 4 months) decided to cut in half. Around the 2 month mark, I never wanted to stop travelling. Slowly my feelings changed and around 3-4 months I started feeling restless and it took more and more to impress me in the places I visitted. Generic backpacker small talk also started getting old. I'm feeling excited for my remaining month on this trip, but I think I've found my future backpacking limit at 2-3 months. I would love to live abroad and travel very slowly in thr long term (2-3 months per city), but for now I'm happy to return home.
