Solo travel doesn’t mean lonely travel: Here is how to make connections on the road

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Solo travel can be one of the most freeing experiences in the world, but it also pushes you out of your comfort zone in many different and unexpected ways. Somewhere between navigating new cities, eating alone and figuring things out on your own, you learn just how open the world can be when you are, and often, the people you meet become as memorable as the places themselves.

Travel creator Sanjana Goswami (@undermypinkumbrella) believes that travelling alone doesn’t have to mean travelling lonely. In fact, she says some of the best friendships of her life began on unfamiliar streets, long bus rides, and hostel common rooms. “I have met some of the kindest, funniest, and most unexpected people while traveling solo,” she wrote in her caption. Here’s how to build real connections on the road the easy way.

Travelling alone? Here’s how to meet friends who feel like characters from your favourite travel chapter.

Get comfortable being alone first

Before you can meet new people, you need to enjoy your own company. It’s counterintuitive, but true. When you’re relaxed, content and moving at your own rhythm, you naturally give off an energy that invites conversation. Whether you’re reading in a café, strolling through a market, or eating alone without guilt, that comfort becomes the first step to forming friendships.

Say “yes” more often

Solo travel opens the door to spontaneous opportunities and saying yes to them can change your entire trip. If someone at your hostel asks if you want to join them for dinner, a beach day, or a sunrise hike, go. You don’t make memories by sitting in your bunk.

Take group tours

If you’re shy or unsure where to begin, group activities take the pressure off. Walking tours, cooking classes, pub crawls, art workshops, and day hikes offer built-in shared experiences, which make bonding feel natural instead of forced. You’re all learning, exploring or laughing together, and that becomes an instant icebreaker.

Stay in hostels

You don’t have to be a backpacker to enjoy hostel life. Many modern hostels are clean, safe and beautifully designed, and their common rooms, kitchen spaces and nightly events are designed to help travellers mingle. Movie nights, game evenings, local food tastings or rooftop gatherings can lead to friendships that last long after checkout.

Ask questions and stay curious

If you ever find yourself stuck, remember this: curiosity is charm. Simple questions like “Where are you from?”, “Where did you just travel from?”, or “Do you have any recommendations for tonight?” can open entire conversations. Most solo travellers want to talk, they’re just waiting for someone else to start.

Know that solo travel doesn’t mean lonely travel

The biggest mindset shift? Realising you don’t need a group to belong. Be open, be kind, and trust that connection happens in surprising ways; on trains, in queues, at cafés, or while watching a sunset next to a stranger. Your next friend could literally be on the next bus.

‘Christy’ Doesn’t Deserve the Box Office Smackdown It Got on Twitter

by jummy84
written by jummy84

In a weekend in which “Predator: Badlands” was far and away the top movie in America, bringing in $40 million domestic (when it was projected for just over half that), the bigger box office conversation on social media this weekend centered around a film that didn’t even crack the domestic Top 10.

That movie was the Sydney Sweeney boxing biopic “Christy,” which debuted to just $1.3 million. That is a bad number in most ways you might want to spin it, but there was one narrative that really took hold that’s easy to fight back. On Sunday, Twitter user Jonathan observed that it’s one of the worst openings for a movie that debuted on over 2,000 screens ever. To find that stat, you’ll need to scroll to the bottom of the All Time Records tab on Box Office Mojo and look at this chart, and you’ll see “Christy” ranks No. 12.

Joachim Trier at the 'Sentimental Value' Los Angeles premiere held at the DGA Theater Los Angeles, California.

The assertion went viral, bolstered by the ongoing controversy about the recent American Eagle ad featuring Sweeney’s “Great Jeans.” What’s more, Sweeney has had two other movies that fizzle at the box office this year: the Lionsgate crime movie “Americana” and Ron Howard’s “Eden,” in which she’s part of an ensemble and not the main star. It’s a big shift after Sweeney bolstered the surprise box office of films like “Anyone but You” and “Immaculate.”

Black Bear, which is a brand-new distributor that made “Christy” its very first release, both financed and distributed “Christy” and is doing so for a responsible budget of $15 million. It will take a hit, but the distributor also sold the international rights to “Christy,” which can help to mitigate the box office losses.

But saying “Christy” had one of the worst openings ever based on the number of screens it played on is a weird, cherry-picked stat. Even if you were to switch tabs on that very chart and look at movies that opened on over 2,500 or 3,000 screens, you’ll see some other films, even some from this year, that opened in a similar ballpark as “Christy” and had worse per-screen-averages. And it’s nowhere to be found among the top titles if you filter to over 600 theaters, which Box Office Mojo still labels as “Wide.”

“It definitely does feel cherry-picked. What release date are we talking about? What’s the competition?,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst at Comscore. “For films like this or ‘The Smashing Machine,’ they’re not going for box office, they’re going for artistic freedom and are character-driven films that are not trying to be blockbusters.”

Dergarabedian explains there are a litany of other factors that could’ve played into why “Christy” didn’t connect. Did the average moviegoer think Sweeney was unrecognizable when they saw the trailer? Do casual audiences even know who the film’s subject Christy Martin is? Could a movie like “Predator: Badlands” have sucked up all the oxygen for other new releases? Would it have performed better opening in the spring? Even a movie like “Die My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, was another starry, adult drama that only made $2.8 million from virtually as many screens. It’s hard out there for drearier movies for grown-ups.

You could make the case that “Christy” shouldn’t have opened on near as many screens as it did and instead went with a platform release in order to slowly build buzz. Dergarabedian points out that had “Christy” done just that, it wouldn’t be the first movie that died on the vine before it even had a chance to go wide. Distributors often grab additional screens because they can and because there’s a willingness from exhibitors to play them, which was the case here. The cost of a digital print is minimal compared to a film print. And if you’re a brand-new distributor like Black Bear, why not take a little added risk?

Sweeney too isn’t taking the disappointment to heart and, in a post on Instagram on Monday, said there are some more important things than box office.

“Thank you to everyone who saw, felt, and believed and will believe in this story for years to come. If ‘Christy’ gave even one woman the courage to take her first step toward safety, then we will have succeeded,” she wrote. “So yes, I am proud. Why? Because we don’t always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact,” Sweeney said. “And ‘Christy’ has been the most impactful project of my life.”

Sabrina Carpenter Doesn’t Have Cold Feet About Breaking This Fall Fashion Rule

written by jummy84

Sabrina Carpenter is keeping cozy girl fall going—even on a night out with Taylor Swift.

On November 7, the pop stars were seen out and about in New York City, both dressed for a night on the town with autumnal twists. Unshaken by their staggering height differences, Swift threw on a pair of burgundy Gucci platform loafer heels with a preppy Thome Brown polo sweater and asymmetrical pleated skirt, topping everything off with a sloping shoulder bag by The Row (which you can and should read more about here).

For her part, Carpenter opted to dress up a white chunky cable-knit turtleneck with a black miniskirt and sheer stockings, further elongating her legs by adding a trench coat. This is a perfect short girl styling trick as the mid-length coat highlights the ultra-short hemline of the skirt, drawing even more attention to the legs.

Kehlani Doesn’t Want to Throw a Relationship ‘Out the Window’ on New Single: Stream It Now

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Kehlani isn’t ready to let a relationship go “Out the Window” on her new single that dropped on Friday (Nov. 7) via Atlantic Records.

She resurrects that old school R&B feel even on the “Out the Window” cover art, which was shot by photographer Markus Klinko, who also did the cover of Beyoncé’s 2003 debut album Dangerously in Love, Kelis’ 2003 album Tasty, Mariah Carey’s 2005 album The Emancipation of Mimi and Mary J. Blige’s 2005 album The Breakthrough.

“Out the Window” arrives five months after “Folded,” which became Kehlani’s first top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and first No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs this week (charts dated Nov. 8). They performed “Folded” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this week. And while they got Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo and Tank on the “Folded” remixes for the Homage Pack, Kehlani has also collaborated with Cardi B (“Safe” from Am I the Drama?), Mariah Carey (“Sugar Sweet” also with Shenseea from Here I Am), Leon Thomas (“Dirt on My Shoes” from Mutt Deluxe: Heel) and kwn (“Worst Behaviour” from With All Due Respect) this year.

True Crime TV Series Casting Still Doesn’t Look Doofy Enough

by jummy84
written by jummy84

It’s always Hot Ted Bundy this, Hot Ed Gein that. But why is no one talking about the entire cast of Hulu’s “Murdaugh: Death in the Family” looking a little too good?

A multi-generational dynasty of Southern corruption rooted in economic mobility and legal influence, the complex but nevertheless notorious South Carolina family made headlines in 2019 for the deadly aftermath of a drunk boating accident involving the youngest Murdaugh boy, Paul. The crash killed 19-year-old Mallory Beach, drawing attention to years of alleged Murdaugh misdeeds in a not-so-tight-knit community that ultimately witnessed, up close, what a person can do when they sail past desperation and into madness.

People have looked to violent crime as a form of entertainment for centuries, and it’s no question the twists and turns of the Murdaugh family make for great TV. Follow along with the saga, and you’ll see villains with varying degrees of culpability become surprisingly sympathetic victims. The show encompasses multiple criminal cases involving several fatalities that occurred between 2015 and 2021. Series creators Michael D. Fuller and Erin Lee Carr do a remarkable job weaving that mess of facts into a cohesive drama that gets at the heart of the Murdaughs’ power. Mostly.

What became of the four adult relatives — dad Alex (Jason Clarke), mom Maggie (Patricia Arquette), eldest Buster (Will Harrison), and youngest Paul (Johnny Berchtold) — is better left unspoiled as the streamer continues rolling out new episodes of “Murdaugh: Death in the Family” week to week.

But with a sizable audience doing research to kill time between installments, the miniseries’ cast boasts an awkward attractiveness that sticks out as oddly inauthentic. Set as an otherwise cunning docudrama, the Hollywood-coded cast continues a frustrating tradition of “disappearing” into characters for which these actors look almost too naturally famous. That gimmick can work well during awards season, but it subtly undermines what shows like “Murdaugh” do well.

No one is complaining about Patricia Arquette leading yet another true crime account for the small screen. Between “The Act” and “Escape at Dannemora,” she’s been able to adapt into any real figure she pleases, so far. But take a long look at the real Murdaughs, and you’ll be hard-pressed to argue the kind of power that fuels the “Severance” actress has much to do with this true American horror story.

That’s not a roundabout way of calling the Murdaughs ugly or implying the series’ costume, makeup, and hair departments haven’t done their best to knock the dashing Jason Clarke down a peg. Rather, these distorted portraits carry an unspoken weight that can steer grounded psychology into fantasy.

The practice dates back to 1967’s “Bonnie and Clyde,” which cast Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty as lovestruck bank robbers. Their striking image has persisted for decades, inspiring everything from luxury advertisements to a Sabrina Carpenter music video with Barry Keoghan. But it’s Charlize Theron’s performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2003’s “Monster” that most resembles the slight miscasting at work in “Murdaugh: Death in the Family.” Even rocking significant special effects makeup (just a touch of which is at work in the Hulu series), the bizarre transformation of Theron is so distracting that one could argue her physical appearance has a greater legacy than the film itself.

There’s plenty of good acting in the latest Murdaugh reimagining, but shark-like contacts and the demonstrably finicky task of making anyone look like “a ginger” detract from quieter beats. Yes, these casting directors knew the right talent to pair with this bonkers story in theory. But the optical-illusion quality, which makes you want to squint every time Clarke and Arquette pop on screen, works against the performers’ considerable efforts to vanish into their roles. Toss in the stunning Brittany Snow as an intrepid journalist (the series is adapted from reporter Mandy Matney’s podcast), and you’ve got a serious nightmare presenting a bit too glossy.

“Murdaugh: Death in the Family” is a strong docudrama despite that, but other limited series might consider going the route of Netflix’s “Adolescence” to cast unknowns more often. The result isn’t always an easier character for the actor to pull off, but removing the Hollywood hotness factor provides an opportunity for at-home audiences to fully immerse themselves in the story. Battling the temptation to pick up a second screen every time you’re watching something in your living room feels even harder when you know you’ve got the real thing and how it ends in hand.

“Murdaugh: Death in the Family” is streaming on Hulu.

Fitness coach shares easy DIY calorie deficit plan that doesn’t require strict restrictions

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Staying in a calorie deficit is a common eating plan when it comes to weight loss. It means you eat fewer calories than your body burns, creating a gap that allows your body to use the stored fat for energy. Often, a calorie-deficient plan is thought to include strict diets which eliminate several food groups. But what if you had the agency to decide what stays on your plate while still seeing great results?

ALSO READ: Fitness coach reveals 5 ways to ‘get enough protein for the rest of your life’: Identify better sources to supplements

Fitness coach Raj Ganpath, who regularly shares fitness tips with his Instagram community, in a November 3 post, shared a technique to create a plan all by yourself. Usually, with most cookie-cutter diet plans, you are in the backseat, letting others choose for you or make peace with whatever the standard plan offers. However, with this DIY method of circle and swap, you are in the driver’s seat and decide what goes from your diet.

What is the technique for a DIY calorie-deficit plan?

The plan the fitness coach shared requires you to do a quick audit of your current eating plan. It means you have to be candid with yourself. This includes jotting down all the stray snacks and guilty cravings, too.

Here’s the step-by-step guide to the DIY calorie plan, as shared by Raj Ganpath, “Firstly, write down everything that you eat in a day. Remember, this is for your eyes only, so be brutally honest with yourself. Then circle all the foods that are fatty in nature, anything that is oily, fried, creamy or rich. Then circle all the foods that are high in sugar, essentially all sweet foods. And then circle all the foods that are high in starch- rice, idli, dosa, roti, naan.”

It is relatively simple: name the foods, estimate calories and circle out which are potentially unhealthy.

Goal-wise modification

Now that you have circled the unhealthy foods in your current plan, the adjustment depends on your fitness goal. The fitness coach explained that once you have listed your foods, there are two ways to go about it: either you are looking to eat healthier without creating a calorie deficit (no major weight loss plans), or you want to focus on weight loss, which requires you to create a calorie gap.

Goal 1: Improve quality of meal

This route is for you if you want to eat healthy, but your goal is not necessarily weight loss. For this, you will only have to replace the unhealthy foods with better alternatives.

“If your goal is to simply improve the quality of your meals and improve your health, and you don’t care about weight loss, here’s what you want to do. Remove about 400 calories worth of foods from these three categories,” he shared, revealing how many calories to remove.

However, since it is DIY, there’s flexibility; you do have control over what to cut or keep. Ganpath further added, “You decide what you want to keep and what you want to remove, and then replace it with 400 calories worth of protein and vegetables. If you do this, you would have removed 400 useless calories and replace it with calories that are filled with protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre that will improve your health in long term.”

So long story short for this route: You are removing all the empty calories. They are high in calories but lack good nutrients. Instead, you are replacing them with better alternatives that keep your energy levels high and healthy.

Goal 2: Weight loss (calorie-deficit plan)

The second route is if weight loss is your primary fitness goal. This needs you to eat fewer calories and burn more.

“Remove 800 calories worth of foods from these three categories, once again you decide what you want to remove, what you want to keep, you don’t have to eliminate all of it. Just find the things you can give up and remove them,” the fitness coach highlighted, removing more calories in this plan.

Since you are eliminating 800, the replacement is only half. Ganpath elaborated,”Replace it only with 300 to 400 calories worth of protein and vegetables. Now you would have created a calorie deficit of about 400 to 500 calories per day. Over the course of a week, this adds up to about 3,500 calories. If you can do this consistently,”

The deficit enables you to eliminate half a kilo each week, helping you to lose weight sustainably. Raj said, “You can expect to lose anywhere from 400 to 500 grams every week. Remember, in the long run, be it health or weight loss, it is simply about making small sustainable changes to what you are already doing.”

The pace is steady, but it will keep you committed to healthy eating, unlike dramatic crash diets, which are very rigorous, demanding high restriction.

Appearance doesn’t define your worth

Jonathan Van Ness has insisted he is still “all about body neutrality” after losing 70lbs.

Jonathan Van Ness has lost 70lbs

The Queer Eye star has shed the pounds after turning to a weight-loss medication but he’s responded to critics who have claimed he is “not a body positive person anymore” and insisted people are always “worth love and celebration”, regardless of their shape or size.

He said in a TikTok video: “I’ve lost 70 pounds in the last year and [there has been] so much conversation around my weight loss.”

Referencing the “gigantic conversation” about his outlook, he continued: “What do you mean? I’m all about body neutrality.

“The way that you look does not define your worth, doesn’t define your lovableness. You are worth love and worth celebration no matter what your body looks like.

“That’s what’s so important is that we are all worthy of love. We’re all worthy of celebrating.”

The Getting Curious podcaster began using the medication as a result of a health scare back in 2023.

He said: “I decided then that after the medical issue, I was going to get a colonoscopy, and if I didn’t have anything severely wrong with me, I was going to go on a GLP-1, because I just didn’t feel good.”

And now, while Jonathan has always “felt cute”, he feels “good” too thanks to his body transformation.

He said: “As I’ve lost weight and I got into [Pilates classes at] Solidcore, my body has never looked like this.

“My body’s never in my whole life—I’ve always wanted to have an ab. I’ve never had abs. And I feel really good, so I’m taking my shirt off a lot.

“I just want to get one thing straight: I was always really cute, and I always felt cute, but I just didn’t feel good. And now I feel good.

“I feel like a f****** minx right now. When I’m 80, I want to see pictures of me when I was in my 30s looking cute. So, that’s why the top’s off, because I feel really cute.”

The 38-year-old hairstylist previously credited the medication for helping him get his binge eating disorder under control.

He said in a previous TikTok video: “I, for the first time in my life, got control over my food intake. It helped me so massively, and that’s part of why I wanna be honest with you about it because I know how important asking for help is, and how much asking for help can change your life in terms of healing.

“I needed help.”

Trigger Point’s Jason Flemyng ‘doesn’t understand’ how he became typecast as a villain

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Trigger Point star Jason Flemyng has admitted he isn’t quite sure why his career has been built on portraying villains – but nor is he complaining about his success.

The actor’s latest project is Vicky McClure’s ITV thriller, where he plays a mysterious man targeting individuals with explosive traps in what appears to be a deeply personal revenge plot.

Flemyng declined to comment on whether villains were more fun to play than heroes as, in his own words, “I can’t compare because I’ve never played a goodie”.

“I’ve done 160 movies and sometimes I might seem like the nice guy, but I will always turn out to be the monster by the end,” he said of his library of past roles.

“I’m definitely not moaning,” he continued, “because I live in a nice house and I’ve sent my kids to a good school as a result, but it is quite funny. I have no idea how it happened because I have no side to me and no temper. I don’t really understand it!”

Flemyng’s past turns include smalltime crook Tom in Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Jack the Ripper associate John Netley in From Hell, and demonic-looking baddie Azazel in X-Men: First Class.

Of this latest role, the actor explained his character’s motives as a backlash against “corporate greed”, explaining that “good people do bad things” when backed into a corner.

“He’s a sort of cross between Hannibal Lecter and Che Guevara,” added Flemyng.

Trigger Point showrunner Jed Mercurio said of the enigmatic character: “We need to create an arc for the antagonist, and we need that character’s agenda to be expressed in the type of bombing campaign that they carry out.

“We do spend a lot of time trying to identify what will define each season through that character. We’ve loved working with Jason Flemyng this year — I’ve been a fan of his for years, and I’m really thrilled that we managed to bring him into the team.”

Trigger Point returns to ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday 26th October 2025.

Dakota Johnson ‘really doesn’t care’ what people think of her ‘naked’ dresses

Dakota Johnson “really doesn’t care” what people think of her so-called “naked” dresses.

Dakota Johnson ‘really doesn’t care’ what people think of her so-called ‘naked’ dresses.

The 36-year-old actress and director spoke openly about her bold fashion choices in a new Vogue Germany cover story, explaining she plans to keep wearing the daring looks that have become her signature.

Dakota said she felt empowered rather than exposed by her sartorial decisions, which have frequently made headlines at major events.

In the interview, the Verity star was asked whether she ever worries “about whether a naked dress might be ‘too sexy’.”

She replied candidly: “I really don’t care.”

Dakota then added: “I’ve been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them.”

She continued: “Sometimes those dresses look good on me. But there are also some we’ve tried on that didn’t look good at all. It depends on the shape, the finish, the colour, and everything else. So if I find a beautiful dress that I feel comfortable in, of course I want to wear it! And it’s fun to wear a sexy dress.”

According to Vogue Germany, Dakota – who is the daughter of actress Melanie Griffith and Miami Vice star Don Johnson – credited her mother for instilling a sense of confidence in her from a young age.

She said: “My mom was just very open about the topic of bodies.

“She taught us how to take care of our bodies and love them, and that our bodies are beautiful.

“And I think that’s something really important for a young girl because we’re constantly told that we’re not good enough.”

She continued: “And if you’re not told from a young age by the woman you look up to the most that you’re perfect and smart and special and strong and brave, it can really break you. It’s hard to re-teach yourself that love later on. That was a huge gift she gave me.”

One of Dakota’s most talked-about “naked” looks was a sheer black lace Gucci gown worn at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner in New York City on 11 September, where the long-sleeved design featured intricate floral embroidery over a black balconette bra and underwear.

Her hair was styled in a loose up-do, accentuating the gown’s high neckline, and she accessorised with emerald earrings, a matching necklace and black open-toed heels.

Later that month, on 25 September, Dakota appeared at the Zurich Film Festival in another sheer look – a long-sleeved indigo lace gown with a tulle skirt that began below the hips.

Unlike the Gucci design, the Daddio and Materialists actress opted not to wear visible undergarments beneath the ensemble.
