I’m a 33M from Toronto finishing up a solo trip in Prague from Sept 12th to Sept 15th.

I have a loose itinerary of checking out the classic sights, but I’d love to break up the solo travel by meeting some cool people. Down to try some local Czech pubs, find good food spots, or just wander the city.

Whether you're a local who wants to show off a favorite spot or a fellow traveler looking to explore, shoot me a message or comment below. Cheers!

Hello! I’m a 33M from Toronto, Canada, visiting Marrakech solo for the first time from Sept 4th to Sept 8th.

I’m really looking forward to exploring the Medina, the souks, and trying as much local food as possible. I'd love to connect with locals, expats, or fellow travelers while I'm in town.

If anyone wants to meet up to grab a coffee, check out a rooftop spot for the sunset, or grab dinner, let me know! I’m super easygoing and always down to share a good conversation. Drop a comment or send a DM.

Hello everyone,

I've been meditating consistently for about a year now and have steadily worked my way up to a solid 40 minutes a day. It’s become a core part of my routine, and I’m experiencing some profound benefits. I’m ready to deepen my practice and am looking for a structured, immersive retreat in or around the Greater Toronto Area.

What I'm looking for:

• High Practice/Sitting Volume: I want something immersive that focuses strictly on deep meditation and spending extended, consecutive hours in a meditative state.
• Minimal Theory/Philosophy: I’m not looking for an introductory course, heavy lectures, or academic study—I want raw practice on the cushion.
• Location: In or within reasonable driving/transit distance of the GTA.

I know Dhamma Torana (Vipassana) in Barrie is a major option in the region, but I’d love to hear personal experiences about that or any other hidden gems (Zen temples running intensives, True North Insight retreats, etc.) that you’ve found to be genuinely transformative.

Any recommendations, recent experiences, or advice on what to look out for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone, quick question for anyone who has been to Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna.

Is the "Guided Tour Maria Theresia" worth it? I know it includes a 75-minute live guide through the staterooms and the ground-floor Bergl Rooms with the nature murals, but I would love to hear feedback if you've done it. As I am not planning on doing anything else inside the palace.

Also, I am planning a visit for Saturday, September 12th and want to hit the Schönbrunn Zoo. Can I buy tickets for just the zoo on its own at the gate, or do I have to buy a combined palace pass? I know admission is 29 Euros, but do the ticket windows accept credit cards or is it cash only?

Thanks for any insights.

Hi everyone! I just got my letter to candidate for an Appeals Officer (SP-004) role with the CRA and will soon be taking the Korn Ferry UIT (KFEL-01).

Without breaking any confidentiality or test rules, does anyone have general advice or free resources to help me prepare?

Specifically looking for:

• Good practice sites that mirror the adaptive/timed format (like Talent Q).
• Tips for managing the tight individual question timers.
• General advice for the behavioral section.

Thanks in advance for any insights or study tips!
