Convince me to travel to Lithuania! 5 Million Millix up for grabs if YOU can convince me to travel to Vilnius next week . #earn EXTRA: 5 Million Millix up for grabs if you can convince me to NOT travel to Vilnius next week. (Splits may accure if several opinions are convincing)
I've posted about it before but here's the actual thing: I don't want to travel right now , and probably not in a week either. May it be sickness or social anxiety I would like to pass this great opportunity. Sneed it or Keep it?
To make things easier and more rational here are my top Pro's n Con's: Pro's: -Free accomodation. -Once in a lifetime chance? (Debatable since Lithuania is open for all and I could go any time, but would I really if I could choose between every country in the world? Unlikely. -Luis from Philladelphia is there which I don't see very often and he's a great pal and I don't know how many more times we will get the chance to travel together. -I have never regretted a single trip that I went to, and cherish these memories. (I have however also never regretted not going to dumb meetups like Berlin, so who knows..) -Lithuania is EFFAY AF and has great food. I think I'd like to see some of their pretty architecture aswell! -Could really need that time away from home. (tho i literally just got back i seem to hate it here!)
Con's: -I don't feel so well, might even get travel restrictions depending on how bad the batflucough will be in one week. -It costs money which I'd rather save up for shiny new teeth. -I literally can't imagine the hussle of backpack travelling and riding a plane right now -Anxiety X Paranoia (one hell of a b*tch) -I just like denying myself nice things cuz im a sadistic masochist.(TL: i could waste more time being useless!)
Well...actually.. the list made it clear already that I GOT TO GO but if you can provide any further advice that convinces me to go (or not), I'd appreciate it. I'll let you know how that went in a couple o days and post results.
You go!!!! When an opportunity like THIS arises, grab it.
1. You'll be with a friend whom you don't see often. 2. If you don't go in a week's time, do you have plans to visit at a later date, either alone or with your gf? 3. If not, is the opportunity likely to arise from another third-party source?
Don't make the same mistakes that I've made. When I moved to the USA from the UK, I wondered when I might return to visit. Five years, 10 years...? Cut a long story short, six years later, my best friend died of pancreatic cancer. Life can change in an instant; lost time cannot be retrieved and missed opportunities seldom present themselves (in the case of my late friend, never).
You're young and have time for the dental work. Don't wait another 20, 30 or 40 years to visit Lithuania. Who knows... by then you might have a family or, Heaven forfend, health issues might have begun to creep up on you.
If possible, take the flu medications, stay in bed, sleep and sweat out the flu.
