Book your flight while they’re still cheap and peaceful. — Here’s the typical life cycle for tourist destinations in Central and Eastern Europe. 1. Undiscovered. A beautiful and fun location that barely any tourists consider visiting. As such, it’s peaceful, affordable and the locals are excited to welcome anyone who comes to explore. 2. Up-and-coming.

Skip the tourist traps and have the time of your life in these London venues. — While living in London, I used to enjoy meeting tourists and asking what they planned to do in my home city.

This experience improved my confidence with women forever — It was not even 10:00 on the Thai island of Koh Phangan. I was wearing a red England football shirt with a bag of laundry in my left hand and a Red Bull in my right. I hadn’t showered and my eyes were barely half-open. But they did spot Mayara…

I learned this lesson at 17 years old and it’s served me well ever since. — In my new book ‘Offline Dating’, there’s a chapter focused on how to attract your ‘crush’. But I’ll quickly summarize it in this post. The truth is: grown men shouldn’t have a ‘crush’. If you liked her long enough to define her as a ‘crush’, that means you should have…

There was a silver lining beyond the silence. — It wasn’t just total silence. That would have been better. There was this one drunk old lady with no teeth guffawing at every joke. But that just made the silence all around her more apparent. How could this be happening? My first stand-up comedy gig was a smash hit from…

This unusual method of meeting women has become my most fruitful source of dates. — It was 2013. I hadn’t been on a date in over a year. I was desperate. I was lonely.

If you’re a nerd, consider yourself lucky… — I never really considered myself a nerd... until I looked up the various definitions of the word for this article. The two essential qualities are: social ineptitude; an obsession with intellectual, academic or technical pursuits. Oh, damn.
