Hi everyone! I'm a 37M currently living in Switzerland. I'm happily partnered and I'm looking for any kind of lasting connection, from friendships to relationships, but we don't need to define it exactly, any kind of lasting connection is awesome!

My main passions are travel and photography (so if you're somewhere else in Europe, that's not a big problem, I will be enthusiastically hopping on a plane to see you when the time is right). I'm a software developer, so I do let my nerdy side come out and play every once and a while.

If I have to describe myself in a few words, I'd describe myself as open, empathic, funny (but in a terrible dad-joke kind of way), politically left and inclusive o

My wife and me have been on 4 cruises so far: 1 on MSC, 2 on RCI and 1 with a smaller line, Atlas Ocean Voyages. We did this in 4 different continents so far. Aside of the Atlas one, which was amazing but also at least 5 times as expensive as a regular cruise, we’ve disliked all of them. The amount of people in a small space, the mediocre food, the mass-tourism style excursions that never seem to be any good, etcetera. What cruise line or different type of cruise would you recommend we try to fix our experiences so far, or would you say cruising might just not be for us?

Hey everyone! I’m Dutch, living in Switzerland (yes, I do love cheese, what gave it away?), but currently traveling the world for 6 months. I currently have one partner who I’m married to, and happy to make any kind of connection, from friendships to relationships. I prefer a KTP-style of polyamory and making longer lasting connections, but am not opposed to FWB’s or other types of relationships; we don’t exactly need to define it either. On a personal level, I love traveling, photography, Netflixing (& chilling) with a glass of wine, and having a good time with people as long as my slightly introverted soul doesn’t get overloaded. You ideally have a good sense of humor, can take my terrible

The second half of this year I'm traveling around the world, hopefully with my DJI Mini Pro 3 drone, and I'm starting to research regulations in each of the countries I'm passing through. So far I've identified 3 countries where taking my drone across the border seems to be a no-go: Kenya, Tanzania and India. These are luckily all in the beginning of my trip, and after that I'll be traveling in SE Asia and South America, where regulations seem a bit more relaxed.

Does anyone have any experience traveling with drones to countries where they are simply not accepted at customs? Some options I've considered:

- Not saying anything and hope they won't find out (probably not a great idea)

-

I'm about to travel for 6 months, and I'm wondering what to do with my car. I have a blue zone permit, which I can definitely just keep valid for that amount of time, but there's always a chance that in that time the space gets blocked off for a move or roadworks or something like that, and even aside of the parking situation I assume it's not great for a car to stand still for 6 months in terms of the battery, the tires, etc.

Does anyone know a place or garage or company that offers the services of storing a car for an extended period of time in the Zürich area and getting it back to a road worthy state when we want to pick it back up? Thanks!

My wife and I are planning to travel the world for 6 months next year, with us both being on B-permits. I'm an EU-citizen, and she is not, even though her permit is not linked to her employer anymore and states "family member of EU citizen". We will both be on unpaid leave (so still employed on paper), and still have our apartment (and sublet it).

Will there be any problems with our permits on return? I've found the following on the SEM website:

If a foreign national leaves Switzerland without giving notice of departure, a short stay permit expires after three months, and a residence or settlement permit after six months. On request, a settlement permit may remain valid for a further four
