Got a mobile detailing business here in Vegas and need to get myself something other than Zelle for taking payment. Who are you using taking credit cards with a mobile POS system and what do you think of them? I've looked a few and kinda liking what a see with Kurv but need to know what all y'all think is best.
I was supposed to be in Spain for all of June but the heatwave had me seeking cooler temps. I'd never been to Sweden but saw that it was going to be cooler there, so I booked a flight to Stockholm for the last week of June. And wow, what a surprise gem for me!
The food -
Pic #1: hot dog with 2 scoops of mashed potatoes
I'd read online that they do this and since I love all things potato, I knew that I needed to try it. Just as amazing as it looks, lol. Though it was hard to eat. Would definitely buy again.
Also had traditional food for dinner one night at Blå dörren in the Slussen area of the city. Don't have any pics cause I ate it so fast! Highly recommend this place. It's very close to the Hilton Slussen, which is where I was staying.
If you like hard cider, the regional brands seem to specialize in pear cider and each one I had tasted great with a really strong pear flavor.
Also tried the famous cinnamon roll and cardamom roll - both were amazing and will likely ruin cinnamon rolls for me going forward.
The museums -
Pic #2 - Vasa Museum
If you're going here and are mobility impaired at all, know that the first part of the ground floor is cobblestone. I assume they just built over part of the road. Otherwise there's lifts so you won't have any issues.
Spent 2-3 hours here cause it's just that big. Definitely watch the free film before you look at the shipwreck because it gives you the history. There's also a cafe in the building in case you want to plan for a snack while there. Overall a really cool experience.
Pic #4 - Viking Museum entrance
A little bit hokey, but still a fun and interesting experience. Lots of actors in character that give you interesting tidbits of history. Lots of cool stuff to see. And there's a ride at the end that's really cool. And if it happens to be hot outside, the ride had the best air con of the entire building.
Scenery -
Pic #3 - Took one of the archipelago boat tours. Did the 3-hr tour and it was really nice. There are speakers throughout the boat and someone tells you about each of the islands you pass. There's a bar where you can get food and drinks. As someone who gets seasick easily, I had zero problems on this tour. I think it was run by Stromma? (it's a ferry company but I may have the spelling wrong) And we saw a seal in the water at one point!
Pic #5 - Took a pic of this mermaid statue by the water, but honestly cannot tell you the street! Seems like there are cool statues all over the city.
Pic #6 - Also a fun statue by the water. Encounter this walking from the Slussen area towards the city. Most of the boat tours left from this area.
Pic #7 - View walking towards the Nobel Prize Museum. Didn't have time to go in, but really enjoyed the architecture and cobblestone streets of this area.
Pic #8 - Evening view of the city from the Hilton Slussen.
Overall I found Stockholm to be a very beautiful and clean city. The locals were incredibly nice.
Anyone mobility impaired needs to know that there are a LOT of cobblestone streets. Saw a few people in wheelchairs having a hard time with the uneven cobbles.
While there I accidentally discovered the local transit ferries that get you from island to island. A cheap way to travel, and a cheap way to get a boat tour of the immediate area.
Got into UGC kind of by accident when I had an Instagram account take off. I'm not trying to earn full time income from it cause I have a good day job. I do this more for fun as a side hustle. And it's a good safety net in case I get laid off or whatever. Anyways, if you're getting started there are lots of places where you can sign up to get jobs but here on Reddit and Billo have been the best places for me. I know everyone says that Billo pays low and sure, it does when you first start out cause you don't have any cred. But as you do more jobs and get your reputation up, then you start getting higher paying gigs. I also recommend signing up in multiple places cause you never know where your next awesome job will come from. For me it's been a nice $800 to $1200 income each month, with most of that being from jobs I got on Billo. I think it could be more if I'd specialized in something like weddings or whatev, but like I said this kind of happened to me instead of me planning out to do this.
