I have been to Merseyside many times, dating way back to 1996 when I watched Liverpool v. Tottenham Hotspur live at Anfield. The last 7 years or so, my youngest brother Daniel has lived in Liverpool and the Wirral and I was able to visit him about 10 times. I love the vibe of the city. As Autumn approaches in Liverpool, Tranmere, Wallasey and Birkenhead, it’s a super time for romance. Besides, with Brexit looming, get your mind off politics by indulging in some fine dating options in and around Merseyside. Here are some tips for dating in Autumn time in and around Merseyside, England.
Backpacking in Liverpool
1.Dress up for Halloween
A great way to break the ice and meet more Merseyside Singles is to get dressed up for Halloween. Be creative and inventive with your costumes and try not to be too scarey or frightening to put any potential partners off. You could just don some make up, or buy a costume. Just make yourself look attractive and get chatting up other people in the bar. Liverpudlians and Merseysiders love a good party!
2.Use Tinder
Tinder has a clever way of locating potential partners in your vicinity. So if you’re looking for Merseyside Dating for example, you can find it on Tinder. Just download the app and get swiping. If you swipe right and that person matches with you, then you are in luck – you can message each other. If you swipe left, it means you don’t want them.
3.Frequent Bars
Going to bars is a really great way to meet new people in Merseyside. Liverpool itself is thriving with loads of great bars and clubs. I mean, what else would you expect in the city where the Beatles are from. You could even go to the Bunch of Grapes or the Cavern Club – both made famous in the 1960s by the Fab 4. Beatles trails are also possible – a romantic kiss on Penny Lane perhaps, or take her (or him) onto your yellow submarine.

4.Don’t Be Fussy or Choosy
One of the biggest mistakes you could make is to be too fussy or choosy. You don’t pick a partner – it has to be mutual. So think outside the box. Don’t limit yourself to blondes, or rich people, or those who like the same music as you. Be more outgoing and creative. Don’t be shy, don’t be fussy, don’t be choosy, don’t be picky.
5.Join Dating Websites
As mentioned, these days there are many apps and different dating methods to meet. However, online dating through Dating websites is still one of the most popular. You can get to know the potential partners first. This way you can feel trust online before you actually meet. Of course, you need to be careful too but a new partner awaits. Remember – there are plenty other single people in Merseyside in the same situation as you.
Overall, there are a range of ways to hook up with a new romantic challenge in Merseyside, but these five will do for starters. As always – good luck and stay safe!
Crossing World Borders as a website and blog has entered into its 6 year of existance. Originally I planned to document all my border crossings on this site, under the CWB (Crossing World Borders) title. However, I already had a main travel blog before this one, I also run a website called Don’t Stop Living, you can see it on that link. Years ago, I designed a logo for Don’t Stop Living and also had one designed for me. These days though, it’s much easier thanks not only to technological advances, but to new and quirky websites and platforms that make designing graphics easier. Recently I had a look around for such websites and here are some tips, having noticed a Monogram Maker site.
Designing a logo on Monogram Maker
While searching for ways to design logos for travel blogs and sites, I encountered a cool monogram maker website, with the same title! SO I decided to test it out and design a cool new logo for the site. Here are the reasons I liked using the Monogram Maker platform.
1.It’s FREE!
That’s right – you don’t have to pay for it and they are no catches here. It’s a free site. You simply load up the homepage and you are ready to start without brandishing a wallet, any cash or a credit card!

2.Add your own images!
As well as using the myriad of images available on Monogram Maker itself, you can also use your own images – and it means any image. I chose a few images from my travels and they get uploaded to the platform, and you can place them at the back.
3.It’s easy to use.
I am a bit of a novice when it comes to technical issues and new sites on the internet. I am also very sceptical of them. However, Monogram Maker is ridiculously easy to use! I didn’t even have any issues or problems designing my monograms, or uploading or testing different designs. It’s a very well designed platform and is very easy to use.

4.It’s easy to save the images.
Once you have your images designed, you download them easy and can save them, but Monogram Maker also emails the image to you. This is extra protection as if you ever lose it, you’ll have it saved.
5.You can make your brand look professional
Forget all the boring platforms you used before when designing logos, headers, banners etc. Now you can make your brand look very professional and design it the exact way you want.

6.Multiple Uses
You can use the Monogram Maker for many different things, here are just some of the examples:
- Wedding Monograms
- Travel Blog Monogram Headers
- Monogram Logos
- Split Monograms
- Circle Monograms
- Clothing Monogram Designs
- Cursive Monograms
Overall, I’m not really a creative person when it comes to graphics and art, as I’ve always focused on being a creative writer, but Monogram Maker makes it easy for even non-creatives to feel confident and design logos and banners for their websites, brands, businesses or indeed – just for fun. So give it a try!
Since the pandemic changed our world, travel has for sure become a lot more difficult. We simply don’t do as much travelling, we get less visas, we cross less borders and we spend a lot more time in our native lands. This is the time to truly rediscover our own countries, our own cities and feel at ease with ourselves. And how about romance? Well, romance won’t change much except for the fact that we will probably look for more online options until face to face meeting becomes a reality. All over the USA, many dating apps and websites are trying to lure us in. Tinder, Bumble and regional dating apps are all trying to attract us in with one specific aim – making money for themselves while hoping we all find love. Nice dream. Let’s start off with some options in one of my favourite cities in the USA. We are off to sunny California and Los Angeles. The city of angels of course, this is where it’s at. Here are some options for dating in Los Angeles during these tough times.
1.Zoom Intros
By this we mean those random zoom chats organised by a friend of a friend as some kind of online get together. Wear your best skirt or shirt, grab a drink and look good in front of your laptop. You never know who you might meet. But also – you don’t really know these people yet. That said, it’s a decent way to get introduced to new people.
You never know who you might meet on Zoom
2.Local Dating Websites
While you are staying at home and avoiding the gorgeous beaches of LA, you can try websites like Los Angeles Personals which are all about dating and getting like minded people to connect online. Since you are joining such websites from the comfort of your home you don’t need to worry about protectiong yourself or being mask loyal from the offset. Once you meet the perfect girl or boy, the chance will be there to hopefully meet up face to face and go for a promenade walk down Hermosa Beach, George Best style.

3.Online Flirting

As travellers always on the move, keeping a healthy relationship can be hard. I struggled with it myself on many occasions. Often I broke down, cried for help and looked for other ways to feel happy as the strains of travelling with your partner certainly take their toll. But what for the single tourist? Is it even harder as you are always alone, without a permanent relationship. These days though, there are certainly no shortage of options in the world of dating, or just for finding a sex partner. Here are 4 cool options for dating when you are a traveller to ensure you don’t feel alone,a nd can still enjoy dating, sexual experiences and those magical moments with the person you could, just maybe, fall in love with. Oh it’s a fantasy world…
1.Sex Dating Sites
Yes, these exist. There are sites where free, footloose single people go onto, set up a profile and then they look for sexual partners. Many tourists will do this for the extra thrills and experiences. You could hook up with a local man or woman through this – often bringing you a completely new and exciting sexual experience. Make sure you choose your sex dating site wisely though. The internet is flooded with more and more sites these days. And, you don’t need us to tell you but we have a duty anyway – stay safe. Make sure you trust the person, don’t take advantage of others, don’t make others mentally depressed and of course boys put a condom on your willy!
2.Nude Dating
How about seeing your partners tits before you even know her name? Have a peek at her pubic hair before you even heard her speak? Well now you can. Nude dating brings together named men and women into the same room to chat and mingle and possibly date. The venue in London however gives customers the option to cover up or just cover a little, or go full nude. Probably for once in such an option, you would look like the idiot if you wore a suit! So make it your birthday suit. The biggest issue and the funniest thing here is if the man has an erection. The girl will see it and know the willy size early on. Whether this spoils any chance of sex or romance – it’s your risk to take. You can also try nude yoga or nudist beaches.

3.Speed Dating
The idea behind speed dating is obvious – fast dating. You walk into a room which has 15 girls and 15 guys. Each couple get 5 minutes (or sometimes 3 minutes) together to try and impress. So open your heart, be as funny, honest and professional as you can in such a short space of time. If there is a match, when they ask you to tick your favourite ‘dates’, then it could lead to something bigger – you just never ever know!
4.No Strings Attached
Excuse the pun, or maybe don’t! Because that is exactly the point of no strings dating! There are literally no strings attached. It’s entirely up to you how you go about the dates. Whether it’s casual trips to a theatre, a football match, the local craft beer bar or whatever. You take it slowly and as it comes. There is no pressure and no guarantee.
So start with one of these options on your travels and you never really know where you will end up…or with who! Good luck!
Traditionalists might argue that the best way to find love and meet a potential partner is through real life and everyday street life. These could be from normal everyday situations, through work, through studies, through friends or just going out to bars and chatting to people. We all meet our partners in different ways. However these days, as travellers, nomads and tourists, finding love on the road is something that is happening much more often and is a joy.
From Tinder to Online Dating Sites, there is something truly magical and mysterious about looking for love online. You can also localise it, depending on where you are based, for example Scottish people looking for online love might look on a Tayside Dating Site, whereas those in Northern Ireland will more than likely look at Belfast Dating Options.
Once you have signed up and become a member of an online dating site, the fun really begins in earnest! Here are a few exciting things you can expect as you prepare to find that one true love, where your love for each other will last forever.
1.Icebreaking
There is that first moment when you say Hi to your potential date. It is sometimes a nervous time. You have to break the ice somehow. Whether it is just chatting online about each other’s lives and interest, or sending photos, or doing video chats. Skype and What’s App can be a great way to break the ice by doing video chats or Facetime so you can judge each other’s reactions and know both parties are honest and legitimate. Tread carefully of course, but once the ice is broken, who knows…
2.Researching
As it is the online world, we must also be very careful who we trust. There are some true maniacs and crazy people online and it is important therefore to be vigilant and build trust. Don’t rush into a meeting so quickly, and yes – DO research your potential date. If they are not on Facebook, Twitter, or any online presence, are they real? Bots and Scams can happen so do your research. If they are on Facebook and Instagram, all the better. Add your date and get to know each other online too, before the big moment – the face to face meeting.
The face to face meeting
3.Actually Meeting
This is your time to shine and impress your partner! Arrange a classic first meeting. Be it a romantic dinner after meeting at a famous landmark. Be it a cinema date. Be it a cruise. Or even be it a party with other friends too, be sure to dress to impress and to look and feel your best. Both of you want a good time, so be ready for a new adventure.
4.Love, and Beyond
The real dream here is of course to fall in love and find an everlasting desire for each other. Many marriages and long term relationships started online. In fact, these days it is becoming more and more common. As millenials get busier in their lives, turning to the phone or laptop of the start of a romance is no longer a mere notion, but a total reality. So be ready for the journey. What starts as a little seed or acorn will grow big. Work hard at your relationship and may the best partner ever be yours for the rest of your life!
Good luck!

Pet Care Solutions for Travellers
Each time you jet to a new destination, you’re on a unique, unforgettable adventure. Wouldn’t you like your pet to experience the same thing while you’re away?
Kennels and other one-size-fits-all approaches to pet care are not always ideal. They may not give your pet enough attention, or even turn her away because of breed, size, or temperament. So how do you find a caregiver as sweet, kind, and loving as your four-legged friend?
That’s where Rover.com comes in. Built as a supportive community for dog lovers, its experienced, professional sitters offer care for all kinds of pets. The site thoroughly vets all of its caregivers, conducting background checks and offering extensive information and support. The nationwide network can give you options whether you’re in a dense, urban area or a rural locale.
You get to know and trust sitters through a multi-tiered process. First, their profiles tell you about who they are, what they’re passionate about, and why they love caring for animals. Next, you can look to reviews from other owners to get a better sense of their capabilities. Finally, you’ll meet in person, and you can ask more questions and observe their interactions with your pet. Rover offers a handy guide for selecting the best sitter for your needs.
Pet Care Solutions for Travellers
Sitters can board your pet in their own home, or house-sit where you live. Which is best? That will depend on your preferences and your pet’s disposition. There are many reasons you might look for someone to stay in your home: If you have multiple animals, pets who experience anxiety away from home, or you’ll be away long enough that a house-sitter would be especially apt.
Pet Care Solutions for Travellers
Otherwise, boarding your animal in another home can have its upsides: You can rent out your own space with sites like Airbnb, for instance. If your pet is adaptable, they’ll love the adventure of a change of scenery, and the stay can be a vacation for them as well. Exploring new places, making new friends, and playing on new terrain will contribute to a wonderful experience.
Ideally, you’ll find a sitter who can take your loved one under their wing every time you travel. Building a consistent, loving bond like this will make your travel a highlight, rather than a disappointment, to your pet.
Imagine packing for your next adventure and seeing your dog perk up with the knowledge of what’s coming, instead of moping beside your suitcase. As you drop him off at his sitter’s home, you’ll see him excitedly greet his sitter. While you’re gone, you’ll get regular updates: texts, photos, and even videos if you’d like. You’ll be free to enjoy everything about your trip, knowing that your beloved pet is having the time of his life.
