Showcase April - Thoughts from a Russian couch

I decided to stay in an airbnb in Moscow instead of the usual hostel dorm. This might seem very trivial for you - what´s so important about where you sleep, Eric?, Does it really affect your trip where you stay?

Yeah, it does.

When you stay in hostels you meet a lot of other tourists; you make friends with young people that share the same adventure mindset as you; you save money in accommodation to be able to spend a bit more in getting to know the places around you; it´s more about getting the most value you can for the least money spent, it´s the way I travel since I´m 18 years old.

Staying in an airbnb means you barelymeet other tourists; you depend on you ability to meet new people in normal circumstances - where in a hostel you share a common room with other people, you are meant to have a converstion there -; you spend a bit more in accommodation but you get a lot of value for your money; you get to experience the local culture in a deeper - bot deeply enough - way.

Since I´ve been thinking about coming to Moscow to spend a season - or maybe even settle for a few years I decided to stay in an airbnb for the first few days, then I´ll go to Krakow to meet some weirdos who I can´t wait to see and after that, I´ll probably come back to Moscow, It all depends on the situations and the normal life I get to experience here.

I´ve lost all inspiration fro the past few weeks and I´m hoping I´ll get bak to my writing habits soon enough, for now I don´t want to post content just for the sake of posting. Send me your best vibes so I can get back on track soon enough :)

Edit: I added a pic looking cash as fuck so @soyrosa doesn't think I'm deppressed or something :)

If you don't know what cash means, check the definition here
