10 services I've considered/used at some point but since stopped and am now interested in again

1. Couchsurfing

0

I think this is on my mind again because Airbnb is so expensive lately. I should start exploring alternatives.

2. Bumble Friend

0

I actually met a few really nice friends on here when I was living in London, but then Covid happened and we all fell out of tough. Since my experience was so good, I'd say it's worth another shot!

3. Meetup

0

I've heard about Meetup on many occasions but have never actually used it. I'd love to go to a chess meetup, or even a language meetup of some kind.

4. A Language conversation partner

0

...On the subject of languages. A virtual partner or an in-person one could work just fine. I've had a virtual conversation partner a few different times, but it can be pretty hard to keep up. I think I really need to declare a commitment before I pull the trigger here.

5. That Amazon services that tailors clothes perfectly for you

0

I'm in the market for a few classic basics and, since I know fit is everything, I think this is a great place to start looking. The price point is surely more accessible than a real tailor.

6. The Pret/Panera monthly hot drink subscription

0

This seems like an incredible deal, and it'll be especially useful for me this month as I'm moving around a lot and don't have a regular office space.

7. HBO Max

0

There are a few series (e.g. The Wire) that I've been meaning to watch forever. The cold winter months are a great time to finally make time for these.

8. A monthly beauty box

0

Maybe I can convince a relative to gift me one of these for Christmas. They're quite inexpensive, so I wouldn't feel guilty putting one on my Christmas wishlist. Anyway, these just seem incredibly fun.

9. Audible

0

I love podcasts, so why not listen to certain books that I don't carve out the time to sit and read?

10. The gym

0

I've been traveling a lot lately, so I haven't really had a good exercise routine. This should be my New Year's Resolution.
