    Slow travel by boat seems pretty awesome and relaxing. Unless there is bad weather…

      High speed trains when applicable, but there really isn’t a practical way of going to Australia other than flying.

        You don’t like long boat trips in the Pacific?

        Edit so there’s a tradition of physical proximity for certain things, which don’t make much sense with modern communication.

        There’s other things like research, physical work etc. we can make space for people to travel and make long term commitments to locale changes.

    Link doesn’t say much but it’s still interesting. Wish there were affordable options. Most ships I see like cargo are $140 a day.
