Interested to know what he‘s doing with Mink now…Ive seen he is super supportive, been on tour with him, but almost seems like he’s been giving some sort of marketing or management role in the team. He’s hands on with updates, even the discord.

that shi he went through with Feng, I don’t know all the ins and outs but that mustve burnt. so definitely want to see him win. if anyone else knows what hes up to now feel free to share…

hes mad young as well so I hope he gets paid properly for his input.

Italy is by far one of my favourite countries. I loved Portofino for the beauty and Southern Sardinia for its beaches, but noticed that as much as I love the luxury and the must-see picturesque places, I really love those quiet roads, speaking to locals at a calm pace not a touristy pace and petting their dogs, not too many eyes on me. Love the mini museums and cathedrals. I prefer to find somewhere great and stay around there, that was perfect in Portofino. I loved stopping to pick little crystal stones in Sardina. The free privacy that feels like a luxury is what I love about Italy.

Luckily, I was able to visit both I think during less busy times, which was surprising to me. I may strike lucky again as I am visiting again on typical work days. This time I will be visiting Como in mid June with my parents, one of which cannot do too much walking right now but just enough. We will be staying in Como Camerlata I believe. Likely have only two days to explore everywhere and because of my parents the extensive tours might be too tough:

I do want to eat at amazing places and take pictures of beautiful buildings and flowers, but I do get overwhelmed with making sure it’s the recommended restaurants, overwhelmed by calculating all costs & pricing too strictly. Overwhelmed with Trying to anticipate everything. Once I’m there and can just be free to explore and sit I’m usually fine, (e.g. one place with clear things to stop at like NYC or London, Paris was also a little overwhelming with options for me). I heard Bellagio is amazing and going up to Brunate is recommended.

My plan so far:

1 Day - right from Como city center pickup, planning a boat trip around Lake Como, 10 mins at each spot like the golf clubs, Versace villa, a former Tsars Villa I believe etc. (no admission though, so a lot of time in the boat) then we are dropped back in Como city meeting point. Sounds like an hour long What then? Do we stay in Como and go up to the Brunate and back? Do we go back out to Bellagio maybe?

Another option for that day (similar price) was to instead use the day and travel ourselves on train to Bellagio or Varenna, then for a cruise that give access to Balbianello gardens. Then maybe just eat at Bellagio or Varenna. which would take up the whole day since it’s a 1 hour + train journey to Bellagio and back home. Might be better?

Other Day - planning to fit the UNESCO site train travelling to Switzerland and back on this day. If it’s possible. How many stops should we/can we realistically stop at in a day? I wouldn’t mind stopping at one Swiss place and spending the whole day there, then going back home. I’m a fan of cool cars, fashion and chocolate (like most people) so if there’s any place that has those around I’m there!

Any ”smart traveller“ advice and little tips I would likely miss as an introvert would be so helpful! Things I must do / must know to feel at ease I would be very grateful if you could share! Doesn’t have to be too specific!
