Hi,
How does the new CGT rule impact me? I recently started ETF (I only invested a little bit) and can I still get profit using ETF now. Is it even worth it?
Cheers
Hi,
Externally, I live an AMAZING life. I am currently 21, travel at least 1-2 times every year, 70k+ saved, in my final year of uni (already got a job secured), have my own car, got great friends. I know that I am BEYOND LUCKY, and I should not be complaining.
However, deep inside, I am not satisfied or happy at all. Just for some background context, I love traveling, I love nature and scenery. My only goal since 16 was to explore the world and go hiking in mountains, live in yurts, horseback riding, and real nature (not tourist stuff).
The tipping point was this Feb, I booked a trip to Kyrgyzstan with a friend. My parents went ballistic and started screaming at me. In the end, they forced me to cancel and I lost 1k AUD non-refundable.
When I asked when I can go, they said: “Never unless you get married, then your husband is responsible for you.” After hearing that, I completely shattered.
My parents don't allow me to go hiking, sleeping in yurts, multi-day camping, high altitude scenery etc BUT that is what I want to do the most.
I can’t solo travel because they don't allow it. I have no friends who like hiking + can afford these trips. I’ve faked a solo trip before (said I was with a friend), but it was really hard to convince (had to ask my friend who was traveling to japan with her fam same time as me to send me her travel documents to show my mum for evidence).
My last holiday before an unpaid 6-month internship is coming up. After that? Full-time work. 4 weeks annual leave a year. That’s it.
I worked and saved up like crazy (3 jobs+ full time uni) since 16 because I wanted to fund my own travels. Now the money is just sitting in my bank and I can't travel the way I want. I've never once in 5 years traveled the way I want to and my whole social media feed is hiking + nature. I think about it almost everyday and I'm just so tired. Life is worth it when you do things you love, but I am trapped from the thing I love the most.

Hi,
I'm planning to visit Japan again, but this time focus on scenery and hiking. I heard that kamikochi and tateyama are well recommended. However, I'm only planning to go for 7-8 days, I am also a solo female traveller and I have never done multi-day hikes (I would love to, but I will probably join group hike tours if they are any). The highest altitude was around 2500m and I don't want to exceed this.
I was just wondering if kamikochi and tateyama is safe and doable for a female traveler with no extensive hiking experience. Or are there any other recommendations?
Thanks
