Since my apartmentmate and I are also in search of a lesbian posse, we both moved to Seattle in the last six months, AND she recently got seriously addicted to The L Word (and we both like booze), we’d love to join your mafia/go to parks/drink coffee. Send me a message and we’ll figure something out!

Seattlestraddle 12 years agoSeattle! I have a crusty friend in need. She is in need of a haircut. Preferably a haircut done by someone who doesn’t mind her lack of shampoo, blowdrying, straight-ironing, crimping, gel, etc. Recommendations? Aspiring haircutters willing to barter?

TravelStraddle 12 years agoHi, I’m an Aussie headed to Europe for 6 weeks over Christmas. Some of my stops are Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice), Munich, Paris and London. I’d love to meet up with someone. I speak decent French and a little German (not really enough for a conversation).
-
Hey, I am another Aussie, currently living in Denmark at the moment but I will travelling over Christmas before heading back down under. I’ll be going to Italy amongst other places… my itinerary isn’t fixed yet but maybe if we’re in the same place at the same time we can grab a coffee / plate of pasta / beer? :)

Hey I’m in London and another Aussie :)

Seattlestraddle 12 years agoHi! I just moved to Seattle two weeks ago – Im here as an exchange student at U-Dub. Does anyone want to meet up for a beer or maybe offer a small tour around seattle? Im just adapting to the american way and would love to meet some “locals”. So far I love it here – especially Capitol Hill!

TravelStraddle 12 years agoHey all looking for travel advice…
1. Anyone know what the English is like in Italy, Spain or Germany?
2.Best places in Europe that I can get by with English?
3. If you have been to a country that didn’t speak English (or another language that you are fluent in) how did you cope?Just a memo being I’m planning to stay for 3 months so I’ll kind…[Read more]

I haven’t ever been in Europe for longer than a week or so, but in case you’re interested, the Netherlands is particularly good as (in my experience, anyway!) Dutch people do tend to know English. I also went to Berlin recently and most (though not all) people did speak English, at least a little.
-
I love the Netherlands! I want to learn Dutch and live there, everyone can speak English there and in Flanders!

Any metroploitan city in Europe will be fairly easy to navigate in English. English is the default international option, so any area catering to tourists will likely have a lot of English speaking people and signs.
I’ve lived abroad several times in countries where I did not speak the language and have never had big problems getting around or…[Read more]

really good advice. thanks!

I agree with the others, you shouldn’t have a problem. One thing you should do though, is try to learn the language — when I was last travelling I found listening to pod casts was great, and easy to do while you were on trains, planes etc. The most important word you’ll need is excuse me. The German is “entschuldigung,” which takes some…[Read more]

If you want to go north, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland are essentially bilingual countries… most people you meet will be fluent and the ones who aren’t can still speak conversational English. They are kind of expensive though, especially Norway. Sweden is a little cheaper than Denmark.
Germany in the cities is fine… touristy parts of…[Read more]
