One of my goals for this year is to fly more, and fly further. I’ve got Mauritius, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea at the top of my list.
I know some people find airports to be stressful or a chore, but there’s something about just sitting in an airport cafe in the early hours of a sunny morning that gives this vibe I can’t really articulate. I just love it. I’m still like a little kid whenever the plane is taking off, and even in cruise I just can’t get over the fact that we’re travelling in a metal tube so high above the Earth at incredible speeds, and we could be on the other side of the world in less than a day! Getting a window seat is a must!
It makes me feel really proud to live in an era where it’s possible for us to fly to one continent to the next within hours…
I loved flying when I did it a couple years ago, but I doubt I’ll ever do it again. Almost a grand to visit the other side of the US… I wish I was rich, I’d take a vacation every year and I’d fly every time.
