This is for fellow nomads of lemmy
A question for people whose jobs or general lifestyle leads you to move around from place to place. What are some places you find yourself looking for first? And by that I mean, when I move I always ask myself:
- Where's my Taco bell (I'm American yes)
- Where's my Walmart (Still definitely American)
- Where's my job What are some of the first places you always find yourself looking for in a new area first?
As a Dutch for me its quit simple. Where can I get coffee, beer, bread and groceries I can walk or cycle to
Waar is de HEMA is meestal mijn vraag

usually AYCE buffets first, then local supermarkets.
then general wandering around my town or city to see what looks cool, open-air markets, mom and pop restaurants and the like.
Generally in this order:
Where am I sleeping? Where am I shitting? Where am I showering? Where can I get food? What are fun things to see in the area?
Where is the nearest emergency room and 24/7 emergency vet?
