Do you use your real name to receive products when you are shopping online?

youless @youless (112670) • Guangzhou, China 16 Dec 23

It may be an interesting fact. Here most of us use the real name to receive products when we are shopping online. But in some countries, people prefer to use fake names to protect their privacy. Of course if the address is...

Where Would You Move?

CAPirani Photography & Art @capirani (2840) • United States 17 Dec 23

If money were no object, would you move to somewhere else in the world, or stay where you are? If you would move, where and why? If you would stay put, why? What is special about where you live now vs what is special about where...

wiLLmaH Oh, the thought of a dream destination is always exciting! If money were no object, I'd pack my bags and head straight to Japan or Vietnam. However, I totally get your bug concerns—I'm not the biggest fan either! Wishing you warm weather dreams!

Solo travel

E @Karusa (703) • Italy 17 Dec 23

Have you ever solo traveled to a foreign country? My only solo travels have been getting on a flight to and fro in Europe, being picked up at the airport and staying at a friend's or relatives and then toured together with...

wiLLmaH Your experiences in Europe sound like a wonderful mix of independence and the comfort of friends and family. Who knows, maybe one day you'll feel the itch for a solo escapade – and I'm sure it'll be a fantastic chapter in your travel story!

wiLLmaH The mix of languages and cultures must have created a truly magical atmosphere. And how heartwarming to hear someone call out "Kababayan" – finding a bit of home in a foreign land is always special. Cheers to joyful encounters and the magic of the season!

Be Careful What You Wish For

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • United States 17 Dec 23

Do you typically prepare meals for other people or just yourself?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140177) • Philippines 16 Dec 23
