A Long Weekend of Promise
By Marcello (our guest guy writer)
Q: I met a guy in a European pub over a year ago, during two high drama hours at a bar (friend got in an accident). We’ve kept in touch online ever since, casually communicating. No talk of romantic interest on either side, but consistent friendly emailing. Now he’s invited me to visit him for a long weekend. I’m going for the travel opportunity, and for hell of it - but not sure what to expect. What’s your gut tell you? Is he potentially interested? Or just looking for a friend?

Dear Passport Experimenter: There’s something about “long weekend” that says there is a romantic potential in his offer. It’s enough time to let things develop naturally, but (hopefully) not too long to get on each other’s nerves.
It sounds like you’re both casual in your interest. As long as you don’t have any deep expectations either way, I would suggest that you go with your gut. If you’re attracted to him, throw a little caution to the wind and pursue what could, at the very least, be three days of all kinds of fun.

Comfort and Style on Board
Q. I am 30 y/o and will be going on vacation to Europe in 2 weeks. I have to dress to impress the people who will meet me while I want to be comfortable and stylish on the plane. I am thinking about wearing leggings with a tunic, flats and trench coat. But I would like to add a cardigan since it might be cold on the plane. Do you have any suggestions?
- Cold Case
Alison: A tunic, leggings and flats are the ideal travel wardrobe for a trip to Europe. You’ll be comfortable and will avoid any constricting clothing that may dig into your skin like jeans. Plus leggings are a good choice as a stylish compression garment to help with the blood flow in your legs. Bring along a light wrap like one from Love Quotes, to wear when the trench is not needed. Look for cardigan styles from J. Crew and White + Warren for longer versions to give full coverage and match the length of you tunic.
