Let Nic Rossi sleep on your couch or roll/trip/smoke/drink with nobodies fav red head

[Niccolò Rossi]

Yo,

So last six months of my life has been a rollercoaster. Been some of the most significant/exciting/fun/awe-inspiring experiences but also the darkest and most challenging.

I flunked last semester of uni due to battling emotional and interpersonal problems which culminated in me making detailed plans to take my own life which were halted only by the intervention of friends two days prior to when I was due to carry out the act after finding out about them through no intention of my own.

Things have stabilised somewhat but the root of my problems are persisting and aren't showing signs of slowing down.

At the moment, I'm taking the next semester off from uni (tommorow apparently is the first day of semester, lol, who knew) and IF I go back, it won't be back to engineering.

So in the meantime I'm working fulltime as a labourer, but it's wearing me pretty thin, that and my position at work is pretty precarious, I'm getting 'laid off' kinda-sorta for the next month till work picks up.

So, with all this in mind and the fact that I have savings, no girlfriend, no kids, no mortage, no study I've decided I need to fuck off from Sydney for a bit and see some more of the world, meet some new people, gain some new experiences and most of all, some new perspectives.

Anyway so, I'm probably going to be abroad somewhere around May-June for a month or two or more. I'll defo be making my way round Europe. Not sure what I wanna do, or how I wanna do it, or really anything for that matter. I'm starting from square one here.

So, I'm looking for:

a) Folks who wanna catch up, show me around, introduce me to folks, let me crash at theirs, etc etc etc. let your imagination run wild
b) suggestions of places to go, ways to go about it, shit to do
c) what ever else the fuck you like, just say reply with some pointless bullshit

so yeah

Nic.

[Niccolò Rossi]

PS Im not just talking to the Euros here. I don't care where you live, just hit me up. Let me know whats been going on with yall since I havent been on here lately

[Sasha]

If you give me enough advanced warning if you come to Amsterdam I would surely like to meet up. My house is small so if you stay longer than one or two days you probably better of in hostel than on my couch but by all means let's meet up.

[Devrim]

I suppose that it is just about sort of possible that you could stay on my sofa. ;) I think that last time we chatted I was living in Istanbul, but I am living in Europe now. Advance notice would-be good.

Devrim

[CountryKid]

I got a chill ass couch for you.

We can go shooting, get high, get drunk, fuck.

Wait, what?

[Blake's Baby]

Well, I've got a small house, 2 kids and no spare room, so crashing is probably out, but if you're in the vicinity I'd certainly like to meet you face-to-face. I'll try not to be confusing by having too many names on the day.

I met Devrim recently and we're both still alive, so that's something.

[Искра]

It's funny how I'm (of I was) in the same situation as you Nic. Even, I've manadge to get out of this mess (at least I think I did)... But anyhow it caused me a great problems and depression and I did some pretty stupid things to myself. I hope you'll find your way out.

Anyhow if you are interested in coming to Croatia you can allways send PM. :)

[DDR]

If you end up in Seville I think I can let you crush in my house. I have one spare matress and of course I can show you the city and stuff like that.

[Nox]

I'll ask my mum if you can sleep in her bed.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I love the title of this thread.

Unfortunately I probably can't help you out, as I live on the other side of the planet from Europe. :crying:

[The Young Pioneer]

I live with the folks at the moment so I can't offer you a couch. Hope to be getting to travel myself around June...I've applied to live in Russia or Estonia.

But for now I can suggest...

Lake Balaton in Hungary is absolutely the place to go. Most Magyars vacate to the Adriatic instead so it's not immensely crowded as you'd expect. And there are some really cheap and vintage hotels in the Balaton area that have maintained their Soviet atmosphere- very fun. Really great vineyards everywhere.

Also, depending on your financial situation, Helsinki is gorgeous in May. Sun never sets! But living expenses in Finland since the Euro are up the whazoo so it may not be ideal.

[9]

Hey Nic. Sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. If youre ever around the Seattle area, you are always welcome to stay here.

[o well this is ok I guess]

I guess if you're ever in edmonton you can crash here
But I have no idea what could bring you to this hellish wasteland short of kidnapping.

[Raúl Duke]

I have a place...but you'll be bored to death here.

[Prometeo liberado]

Personally I'd like you to stay at Colonel and Mother Cossacks pad. I'm not really buying the whole mother-son thing. I need someone to corroborate this. Do this and I'll send you a nice desk set for the next semester at uni.:D!

[eyedrop]

I have a couch up in Tromsø, Norway. Can't promise too much entertainment though.

[Niccolò Rossi]

If you give me enough advanced warning if you come to Amsterdam I would surely like to meet up. My house is small so if you stay longer than one or two days you probably better of in hostel than on my couch but by all means let's meet up.

Yeah dude, I plan to be spending some time in Amsterdam for sure and if you'd be willing to give us a bit of a run over the place that'd be hella sweet. I was hoping you'd be one of the people to reply! Thanks!

[Niccolò Rossi]

I suppose that it is just about sort of possible that you could stay on my sofa. ;) I think that last time we chatted I was living in Istanbul, but I am living in Europe now. Advance notice would-be good.

Devrim

Sick. Yeah, hit me up on skype next time you're on. Where abouts in the EU are ya at?

[Niccolò Rossi]

I met Devrim recently and we're both still alive, so that's something.

Thanks dude, I'd defo wanna catch up too. You're in the UK right? haha

I was abit worried about travelling to the UK that time of year cos of the Olympics, I think if I went I'd have to be early on in my trip.

Is there anything much worth seeing/doing in the UK? I mean tbh, it was kinda last on my list to come see, even though it's probably where most of the folks I want to catch up with are living.

[Niccolò Rossi]

It's funny how I'm (of I was) in the same situation as you Nic. Even, I've manadge to get out of this mess (at least I think I did)... But anyhow it caused me a great problems and depression and I did some pretty stupid things to myself. I hope you'll find your way out.

Anyhow if you are interested in coming to Croatia you can allways send PM. :)

Is Croatia worth visiting? I mean, I didn't really have my heart set on the Balkans even though it's common to see em included in tour packages and such. What's worth doing in Croatia? I'd be curious to see what it's like tbh

And yeah, if Im buy id be keen to catch up for sure

[Niccolò Rossi]

If you end up in Seville I think I can let you crush in my house. I have one spare matress and of course I can show you the city and stuff like that.

I plan to spend a good while in Spain. Tempted to get along to Sonar. Anyone been to Sonar before here?

Whats Seville like? Much worth seeing/doing? How far is it from other places I might know of (by car/train/bus)?

[Niccolò Rossi]

I love the title of this thread.

Thanks dude, I was actually semi-proud of it, which is rare for me. Glad someone appreciated it, haha


Unfortunately I probably can't help you out, as I live on the other side of the planet from Europe. :crying:watevs lad, I said it doesnt matter where the fuck yall from, i just want ideas. You back in Alaska now right? If you are, then yeah, prolly no way id get up there.

fuck oath i reckon youd be alright to chill with though dude, itd be on the top of my to do list, no shit

[Niccolò Rossi]

The Aussie dollar is real strong, so it's no as bad as you might think for me to travel to scandanavia. Too be honest, i'd never really thought about visiting scandanavia. it seems like a swell place to live, just quiet and like nothing even fucking goes wrong there, but what's there to do touristy and stuff...?

Also, what is Magyar? ANd yeah, hungary too, whats the haps there?

[Niccolò Rossi]

Hey Nic. Sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. If youre ever around the Seattle area, you are always welcome to stay here.

Thanks for the offer. Apparently seattle is a shit hole, atleast youve told me, anything worth seeing/doing in that part of the world for me? be as wide ranging anf creative as possible, surprise me

[Niccolò Rossi]

I guess if you're ever in edmonton you can crash here
But I have no idea what could bring you to this hellish wasteland short of kidnapping.

canada for me is kinda like scandanavia, its prolly a swell place to live, and yeah it you wanna ski or do fucking train rides and look at pine forests and mountains its prolly hella nice, but yeah much else to do? idk

[Niccolò Rossi]

I have a place...but you'll be bored to death here.

lol, wanna convince me? isn't florida just old people and women who take their tops off if you give em beads?

[Niccolò Rossi]

I have no idea who either of those people, or you, are, but sweet

[Niccolò Rossi]

I have a couch up in Tromsø, Norway. Can't promise too much entertainment though.

waddup norway

[Niccolò Rossi]

so yeah, dont be just ignoring my posts if they aint directed at you, aiight. got opinions/ideas, give em

[black magick hustla]

idk im in calgary u can always come i guess although really its canada theres nothing to see in canada but if u come i can promise industrial amounts of alcohol

[black magick hustla]

nvm banff is besides its pretty cool its a town of decadence and recreation

[Thirsty Crow]

Is Croatia worth visiting? I mean, I didn't really have my heart set on the Balkans even though it's common to see em included in tour packages and such. What's worth doing in Croatia? I'd be curious to see what it's like tbh

If you like the sea and all that stuff, than it's nice to visit the coast in summer (especially early or late summer, so June and September) all the more since you could easily visit some nice towns with historical town parts intact (for instance, Split, Zadar and the islands). You can also party hard there if that's what you're after :)

But then again if you do that you'd be missing out on my sofa :tt2::D
Summer in the capital is not so nice. The city is pretty much empty, though there's still some stuff to see and do (so the best idea, if you got the cash, would be to spend two or three days in the capital and then head for the coast). If you're going, just drop me a PM and you have a nice sofa waiting for you :)

[black magick hustla]

its not that far from seattle also if u wanna triangulate, idk whats there in seattle theres a bunch of moonbats and white dudes with thick brimmed glasses married to koreans tho

[black magick hustla]

if u wanna roadtrip in latin america i can translate

[Devrim]

Sick. Yeah, hit me up on skype next time you're on. Where abouts in the EU are ya at?

I am living in Prague. I went there for a holiday for five days, met a woman in a bar, virtually fell in love at first sight, went back to Istanbul for two weeks, and ended up moving half way across the continent to live with somebody I had only met twice, and had only shared one, very small, kiss with.

Perhaps surprisingly, it is going unbelivably well.

Honestly, though, a lot of tourists actually really like it here.

Menocchio covered almost everything...

It depents in what you are interested in. Croatia has really nice coast and old cities (Zadar, Dubrovnik etc.). There's not so much of youth hedonism here hehe but it's nice place.

[Sam_b]

I have a floor in Glasgow if you ever find yourself in Scotland.

[DDR]

I plan to spend a good while in Spain. Tempted to get along to Sonar. Anyone been to Sonar before here?

Whats Seville like? Much worth seeing/doing? How far is it from other places I might know of (by car/train/bus)?

Never been to the Sonar, not my kind of music sorry, so I cannot tell. Sevilla is a very cultural city, with lots of munument and a temperature wich isn't normal (don't come in summer or you'll melt). Is like 600 km from Madrid, 200 to Cordoba and/or Granada, 1000 to Barcelona and 900 to Bilbao. And most important 100 km fom Marinaleda.

[bcbm]

come to the midwest and join the tradition of revlefters who have puked when drinking with me

[Decolonize The Left]

There's a whole crew of revlefters in the bay area and... if you come out in may... you can join cmoney... and possible bcbm.

It could be good. Or it could be really, really, really bad. And by that I mean good. And by that I mean bad.

Ill consider it, thanks


, idk whats there in seattle theres a bunch of moonbats and white dudes with thick brimmed glasses married to koreans tho

fucking euros, always talking in kms. how many hours train/car/bus ride is it from some other places I might be. would it be a day trip or an overnight thing or...?

[Niccolò Rossi]

[Искра]

Fuck it, Ill probably visit, why the hell not. Ill keep in touch with both of ya
Just keep in mind what they tell you about Balkans and whatch your kidneys. Explosive Situation didn't believe to rumors and when I took both of his kidneys he had to run to US.

[Niccolò Rossi]

this is probably a good opportunity for me to get in touch with some of yall off the board, since I don't visit much.

I have MSN, Skype and facebook accounts (including seperate personal and political accounts for all). Shoot me a PM if you wanna get in touch/network through any of the above mediums. I'd be really keen to. its easy to loose people if you can only contact them through revleft.

[DDR]

fucking euros, always talking in kms. how many hours train/car/bus ride is it from some other places I might be. would it be a day trip or an overnight thing or...?

Easiest calculation is between 120 and 150 is an hour ride. So for example from Madrid to Seville is a 4 hour car ride or 6 hours bus ride.

why yall stop posting, this thread is way better than fucking 'girls and communism' or the 17 y/o virgin. what is wrong with you?

[Thirsty Crow]

I'm sorry, don't be mad.

Oh yes, did I mention home made alcohol bewerages as a great pro of coming here? True, you may end up severely damaged, but it's good liquour nontheless.
By the way, you do drink, right?

[Blake's Baby]

We all stopped posting because you said 'oh, email me, I'm not on here all the time'.

So, did you get my email?

He's from decadent capitalism :p of course he does.... only I as a child of communism am pure as rain in the night...

[Niccolò Rossi]

I'm sorry, don't be mad.

loooooooool


By the way, you do drink, right?

Yeah I do, I think drinking is pretty over-rated though. I hate drunks. Drinking is also so god damn expensive and taxing on your body. There are alot of cheaper, safer and more fun drugs than alcohol just saying...

idk, sorry about the rant, lately drunks have been getting on my nerves at gigs/festivals and alot of my friends drink waaay too heavily waaay too often and it gets pretty tired. But yeah, I enjoy drinking...

[Niccolò Rossi]

We all stopped posting because you said 'oh, email me, I'm not on here all the time'.

So, did you get my email?

Oh shit, yeah lad I did, I just happen to check my email even less frequently than I check revleft :+)

why yall stop posting, this thread is way better than fucking 'girls and communism' or the 17 y/o virgin. what is wrong with you?

Yes, and I will explain it now. Do you remember Auckland in the fall of, I think, 2008?

[NoOneIsIllegal]

If you ever find yourself in the US Midwest (put your finger in middle of the US - there we are), and you're tired of puking with BCBM, come hang with me. Vandalize my workplace or something.

[Blake's Baby]

Yes, and I will explain it now. Do you remember Auckland in the fall of, I think, 2008?

Was that Northern Hemisphere Fall, or Southern Hemisphere Fall?

If it's October, Nic's gonna have no idea (still).

A demonstration of why discussion involving seasons with people on different sides of the Equator is bound to fail.
