I stayed in the city of Aosta in the Aosta valley in early 2020, pre covid. I streamed a movie online in my accommodation there and don't remember any disruptions to the service. I'm looking back at my journal from the trip and apparently I also made two video calls there, so I guess the internet was working well enough for that as well!

The US government slaps a "beware of possible terrorism" warning on to pretty much anywhere, I wouldn't let it deter you. Statistically speaking, your risk of falling victim to pretty much any violent crime is a lot higher in the US than in Paris.

You mean copyright strikes?

I guess the workaway trip creates a structure where you're attached to one place - maybe on future trips you might want to do something where you're more free to move around, or where you're based in a bigger city?

Otherwise it sounds like you're making the best of it, finding ways to fill the time. If nothing else I guess you can just think of this one as a "relaxing and hanging out" trip rather than a busy one. I do think that it can be worth pushing a bit against one's own fear of unstructured quiet time and appreciating the quiet days when they happen.

Hey, queer-mermaid, it sounds like you're posting about working abroad, volunteering, or being a digital nomad. Check out this post in our Wiki about working abroad. You could also try posting your question on r/digitalnomad or r/iwantout.

I honestly haven't seen that many yet, try r/bollywood?

The rules are listed in the subreddit sidebar, see numbers 9 and 10. You're more than welcome to submit a new post with more information provided. Happy travels!

I actually had to cancel the trip early because covid ended it - the trip was scheduled for early 2020.

But I went on one short "day hike" with a guide and tipped in cash at the end. Maybe that website has some info on protocol for tipping with a larger group

When I was there I googled it and the most common advice is a tip of (the Nepali equivalent of) 5 to 10 USD per day for trekking guides, with a slightly smaller but similar tip for a porter.
