The Sorbate: Potpourri Week 3

A Brief Introduction to Flashpacking

4

potpourri Flash-what? Unbeknownst to many there is a form of traveling called flashpacking. According to Wikipedia: Flashpacking is a neologism used to refer to an affluent backpacker. Whereas backpacking is traditionally associated with budget travel and destinations that are relatively cheap, flashpacking has an association of more disposable income while traveling and has been defined simply as backpacking with a bigger budget.

The Way Men View Women

potpourriI want to start off by saying that this is not going to be a completely biased, man-bashing rant from a scorned woman. Almost nothing bothers me more than blatant generalizations and conclusions that arise out of emotions rather than a basis in reality. The reason I’m bringing this up is because of a trend I’ve begun to notice in the past year, and as with all my observations, I wonder if it’s just me. So I’ll ask you: Is it just me, or do men see women in black and white?

The Female Proposal

I’d like to think I’m a pretty open-minded person. I’m all for women’s equality, and I believe women have a right to make their own decisions in life. If a woman wants to be a CEO, go get it girl! If a woman wants to stay home to be a mother and wife, more power to her. If a woman wants to do something in between, or something completely different, even better! (You get the picture.) But, there is one thing I’m not quite sure how I feel about women doing—proposing marriage.

Couldn't We All Eat Better?

Not everyone gets an application…

So, if you’re a woman, you’re no stranger to this topic that I’m about to discuss. In fact, in your lifetime, you’ve probably had this conversation 1,564 times in one year! Where did I get this number?? Honestly, I made it up, BUT it sounds pretty interesting right??

 

The topic I’m going to discuss is, DATING. Again, nothing new, however it never fails that we must keep re-visiting this topic! Just yesterday, I had to enlighten my friend on this matter. She’s incredibly beautiful, talented, and intelligent, yet even she got caught up in the game of dating and needed a refresher. So, for anyone else who is struggling in this area, I thought I’d break it down for you as well.
