Hello guys! On the next 27th September I'll be in Skopje and from the early morning I have a booked tour with a local guide to visit Pristina and Prizren.

I am really attached to this experience as I am very interested in your country. I had to do it last year through my balkan trip but fever stopped me. I don't want to loose it again and this time I want to make sure everything is set and ready.

It's written I need to bring my passport. The only sign on my passport so far is the serbian one from last year.

I am italian I thought my ID card would have been ok.

How's the situation at the border?

How's the climate in kosovo at the end of September?

Do they accept card or cash only?

Can you suggest me some gems in the two cities to visit and some typical food?

Any other advice would be great.

Thank you a lot!

Ciao a tutti! Vi scrivo per chiedervi consiglio sui prossimi due viaggi che ho prenotato.

Un po' di contesto prima: ho 24 anni e viaggio da solo. L'anno scorso avevo programmato un lungo roadtrip nei balcani ma causa febbre ne ho persi 4 e sto cercando di recuperare.

Dal 26 al 28 agosto sarò a Bratislava. So che è piccolina e si gira facilmente. Avrei voluto avere un giorno in più per andare al castello di Devin ma non c'era corrispondenza con biglietti aerei favorevole. Basta un giorno e mezzo sostanzialmente? Ho l'hotel a 5 minuti a piedi dal castello, cosa mi consigliate su questa città?

A settembre, invece, sarò a Skopje, in Macedonia del Nord, dal 25 al 30. Arrivo il 25 sera. Il 26 ho un tour di 6 ore a Matka, poi il resto della giornata lo dedico a Skopje.

Il 27 ho un tour di un giorno in Kosovo, a cui tengo particolarmente. C'è scritto di portare il passaporto. Cosa mi dite sul confine e su questo tour?

Il 28 mi riposo a Skopje dopo le 12 ore di tour del giorno prima. Mentre il 29 sarò di nuovo in tour giornaliero stavolta verso il lago di Ocrida. Il 30 me ne torno.

Che ne pensate? Ho ottimizzato bene i tempi? Cosa c'è da sapere sulla macedonia del nord?

Ringrazio anticipatamente chi di voi avrà consigli o indicazioni per me. Grazie!

Ok guys so, I am shit at this game and I know it.

It's not the system, it's not the ranked, it's me.

I never got higher than silver and I have been playing since 2022 (always on console) but I skipped two seasons and only since last month I started to play more seriously, as I got a new PS5.

Like I try to play at least 3/4 matches everyday, I watch YouTube videos, warm up, try different roles and operators but I am stuck between copper 3 and 2.

It's just a pendulum swinging back and forth.

I win one and I loose two.

I play solo. The only friend who can play with me is gold and I can't do much in his lobbies. While when I am alone I somehow got very shit games but also very nice game like last one.

Sometimes I think I am improving sometimes I think I am just wasting time and this is my maximum.

My question is: is that It? Like I have to accept that my ability is up to copper and go on or do I have potential?

It may be a stupid question tho, because what can you know. So I appreciate any advices from you on all possible matters on this game.

Thank you a lot!

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this subreddit. Sorry if it’s not perfectly clear or if it feels too self-centered, but I really need to share what I’ve been going through.

I’m a 24-year-old guy from southern Italy, living in a small town with my parents. In February 2024 I graduated, and the next month I left for Lithuania through an Erasmus traineeship program. I was supposed to stay for five months, but I ended up staying almost two years.

There I met my (ex)girlfriend. It was my fourth relationship, but from the beginning it felt completely different from anything I had experienced before. We connected immediately, and after just a month she invited me to spend Easter with her family. Considering the language barrier, everything still felt incredibly natural.

Our relationship grew quickly and honestly felt like a fairytale. When summer came, I started looking for a job so I could stay after Erasmus, and I found one just two days before my program ended. I took it as a sign that I was meant to stay. We moved in together in August and started living as a couple.

The job itself wasn’t for me—it was in sales, something I’ve always disliked, especially calling people to convince them to buy things. Still, I did it because it allowed me to stay with her and the salary was good. Even so, I was never truly comfortable in that role.

During that time, we traveled together to Italy, where I introduced her to my family and showed her places like the Amalfi Coast, Naples, and Pompeii. Later we visited Riga and also Vienna for our anniversary. Everything seemed to be going well.

Then, during my first business trip to Italy with a colleague, things started to fall apart. Instead of helping me, he betrayed me—stealing clients and speaking badly about me to our boss. After that, everything changed.

Once back in Lithuania, I impulsively quit my job. I was already in contact with another company and had good interviews, but in the end I wasn’t hired. Suddenly I was unemployed, and my rent contract was coming to an end. I had to ask myself whether I really wanted to continue living that way for another year.

Something inside me just shut down. It wasn’t about my girlfriend—I still love her deeply—but I started missing my family, my mother, my brothers, my nephews, my friends, my dogs, and my life back home. In Lithuania, my whole world had become just her and work.

One day, I couldn’t handle it anymore and decided to leave. I asked her to come with me to Italy, but she refused. I ended the lease, packed my bags, and my family immediately bought me a flight home for the next day.

When she came back to the apartment, I told her. She cried and tried to convince me we could fix everything. That night she stayed, but I had already taken down the pictures and packed everything. I had some panic attacks the whole night long.

The next morning was one of the hardest moments of my life. She was crying, screaming, asking how she would live without me, trying to hold my arm while my bolt was waiting for me outside. I don’t know where I found the strength, but I left. The last memory I have is her waving goodbye from the window.

At first, being back home felt like a relief. But after a while, reality hit me.

I’m now studying a master’s degree in Digital Humanities that I’m not really interested in.

I see my friends occasionally, but we don’t really do much.

I barely see my brothers and nephews, and I live in a quiet mountain area with little to none stimulation.

I had a short situationship, but I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

I don’t have a job anymore, no clear direction, and no real motivation. The life I built is gone. Now it's only loneliness, sadness, my console and my books.

I still think about her every day. I even contacted her when I had a break down, and she told me she had moved on also thanks to the help of a psychologist and suggested me to do the same. I tried therapy, but I only managed to have 3 sessions before stopping.

I keep thinking I had everything: a relationship where I felt truly loved (and I now know how rare it is), a home, a job, a car, plans for the future - we were thinking about having a kid...

Now I feel like I have none of that. I don’t have a direction, and I’m stuck in my thoughts about the past and the pain I caused. She had to go through everything on her own because of me, She had to take all our stuff at the apartment with her dad truck while I just left without any responsabilities.

If I could go back, I would press a button to return back to when we were happy and try to make it work.

I’m struggling to carry this weight, I cant stop thinking about It and every night is harder and harder as memories and shame raise up. I am a different person, I feel It. I am way more distracted, afraid of crowd, very pessimistic about life. I don’t know what to do anymore.

What do you think? Did I make a mistake leaving? What would you do? Thanks to those who took their time to read and arrived to the end and sorry for the mess. Thanks a lot.
