- 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Hello, my name is Kai and I am a bit of a rambler. I like to travel, learn and tell stories. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:18,800 I want to talk today about airports. Please try to contain your excitement. 3 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,640 I like airports. That is my hot take. I know that many people like airports. I find them 4 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,840 comforting to the point that I'll sleep in them. I don't like buying a $17 per 5 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,200 reto, but I like the liminal space, which is funny because usually it's crowded, 6 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,160 but I am often in airports overnight. And even when it's crowded in Denver Airport or something, 7 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,080 there's always some nook or cranny or table that is open and I can sit down, plug in, 8 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:59,760 and work on something that I usually don't work on because work like this is audio-based. 9 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,600 That when I sit down to work on something like drawing or writing or something like that, 10 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,760 in the airport I can't do anything with audio. So I just have to get all this other stuff done 11 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,920 or just go through all the emails or read articles that have just been piling up, I save articles 12 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,400 to read later in my inbox and I can just read all these things that I'm curious about. 13 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,360 Like some random, blue-dart, rainforest frog that catches birds or something. 14 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,840 I was talking about airports. I like airports because they're very safe. 15 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:43,760 And I know I'm surrounded by the atmosphere of getting onto one of the safest 16 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:52,240 modes of transportation. I don't really like riding in cars so much. I do like buses a little 17 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,560 more. But with airports, it's like, hey, the statistics are in. It's still the safest 18 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:06,240 mode of transportation. And I know that I'm about to land somewhere and learn something new and be 19 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,080 overwhelmed by a new culture, new environment. And I'd love that because I've been to enough 20 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,440 new cultures and environments that I know they're not going to be dangerous and the overwhelming 21 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,440 part is just look at how many new things you have to learn. But I have plenty of time to do that 22 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:30,320 because I perpetually travel. That's my whole thing. So that atmosphere is with me as soon as I 23 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:39,360 step into the airport. It's almost there. Once I pass security, that's when the wall of worry drops 24 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,400 when I'm like, okay, I made it. They're not going to drag me back out like the wrong way through 25 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:50,880 security. Now I'm on my way to a new adventure. So I like the feeling of airports. I do like they 26 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,560 they are actually safe. You know, I had to go through such a pain the butt of security. But I'll go 27 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,160 early. I'll go like four hours early. And then I'll just have four hours of like this is a safe room. 28 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:08,080 I'm about to get on safe transportation. And then I'm going to learn a bunch of new things when I land. 29 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,160 I like that airports are really clean. Even the dirtiest airport is still cleaner than like 30 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,840 a lot of clean buildings. I like that there's an information kiosk like a second away 31 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:27,200 like or whatever three gates you walk away like in anyone any employee any airline 32 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:35,120 employee worker employee worker is happy to talk to you and give you information if you need it. 33 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,480 Like everyone's there. That's like their second home. I know a lot of airport employees and they all 34 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,920 talk about it like yeah that's just you know fixture in your life like your own work is but there's 35 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:54,640 is like way bigger and there's airplanes there. So I like to hang out in airports in general. Like they're 36 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:02,800 kind of a recreational spot for me and they slow me down a lot because there's so much waiting. So I 37 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:09,120 have to chill out and I can't be like oh what do I got to work on now even though I do usually do that. 38 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,440 There's a lot of waiting built in which I like because it gives me a chance to slow down and chill out. 39 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,920 I guess another aspect of that is as long as you have your documents you're good which doesn't sound 40 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:30,400 super relaxing I guess on its face but it's just like going through security. I have my passport 41 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:37,680 and depending on the country I have a visa or I don't but that's all I need. I need my wallet on me 42 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:44,160 and if I have my passport my special cool looking book that has like cool pages that have my you know 43 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,200 travel adventure history inside them. It's like a magical little booklet that lets me go on a new 44 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:57,200 adventure and it's one document. It's about as much trouble as making sure you have your license before 45 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,280 you drive a car except airplanes are safer than cars and you don't have to drive the airplane. 46 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:10,720 So I like that I pat my wallet or I pat my pocket and I'm passport wallet okay I'm 47 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,720 set now I'm prepared for the next thing and that's all I need I need a couple of documents 48 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,040 and now I'm in this new parod I'm a world view where I know I'm about to learn a whole bunch of 49 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:32,400 stuff in a new country and airports do have everything you need. I don't buy things in airports because 50 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,280 that you know they're exorbitantly expensive and you're if soon as you get into town you can buy 51 00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:44,880 cheap stuff but if you are worried you know about traveling for the first time or traveling to a country 52 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,160 you're like oh does police have phone chargers that I can just but yeah they do of course that every 53 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,760 country does but you might not know that if you haven't traveled to a lot of poorer countries 54 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,120 or lower income countries like I know I was worried about that when I moved to China I was like oh 55 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,600 geez are they gonna have all and then I got to China and they had every electronic in the world of 56 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:16,400 course and like in Laos oh did they use dehumidifier yeah of course they use dehumidifiers in Laos like 57 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:23,040 it's everything is everywhere but if you're worried that there's not gonna be whatever you're looking 58 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,720 for it's gonna be at the airport and you can pay extra for it and then when you get in the country 59 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,880 you'll be like oh I didn't need to pay an extra hundred dollars for it but it's nice that there are 60 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,560 phone chargers and cables and there's food and there's clothing and there are gifts it's it's nice 61 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:45,040 that everything is right there right around you if you really need it or if you just wanted a sort of 62 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:55,120 a security item to hold on so that you can feel more comfortable about your new travel or destination 63 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,040 flights still offer snacks and meals I think it's usually over six hours you get a meal some of them 64 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:11,680 are four hours it's a crapshoot you can check which ones offer meals that's not a big problem for me 65 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:18,400 I do the one meal a day thing but even if they don't have meals you get a cookie you get some 66 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:28,160 water's always free and there are toilets there it's just a environment where all the minimums are 67 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:36,240 taken care of which I like to think about that that or rather I like to not think about all the 68 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:43,520 minimums being taken care of when I'm taking a bus across a new country I'm unsure if they're going 69 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,640 to stop halfway for a bathroom break and they don't but all airports have bathrooms and all airplanes 70 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:56,560 have bathrooms that you can use and so there's just all those basic minimums and then there's a few 71 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:07,040 complimentary privileges like free drinks or free food and snacks and the comfy and there's free 72 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:13,280 entertainment on a bunch of airlines now and yeah all the basics are taken care of and then you get 73 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,400 a few perks and for the time that you are inside an airport or on the airplane all of the basics are 74 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:31,520 there which is nice sleeping on an airplane or in an airport are two things I like um sleeping in 75 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:39,120 the airport itself you know after like nine p.m. there's a few flights left or none in some but a lot 76 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:46,400 of airports have at least one wing that are 24 hours and I do not want to drive an hour I don't even 77 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:53,360 want to drive 30 minutes to a hotel and then come back the next day to catch a flight that is 78 00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,800 so much trouble for me I don't want to leave through security unpack my stuff in the hotel room not 79 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,080 all the way but just take out my stuff make sure I have all my stuff five hours later when I wake up 80 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:14,960 because I have to get back at 5 a.m. because my flights at 8 a.m. uh no no like find a mode of transportation 81 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,760 get back to the airport go through security again make sure I have everything no I'm already through 82 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:26,400 security I know I have everything I'm going to lean my ruck sack against a wall it's filled mostly 83 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:33,920 with clothes and soft things so it's comfortable to lean against I'm gonna throw on my i mask and 84 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:42,160 fall asleep with some ear plugs in easy to do you're not gonna get the best sleep in the world 85 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:51,600 but I would much rather sleep comfortably for six hours then go to maybe a terrible hotel room 86 00:09:51,600 --> 00:10:00,000 which I have had before in regular every chain you know sometimes that city just has crappy 87 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:07,600 hotels like there's a huge standing puddle of water or something so you can find your own quiet spot 88 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:15,840 overnight in the airport and get at least like a decent like a okay sleep and then you're 89 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,440 gonna get on and go on to the airplane so if you are tired sleep on the airplane which I maintain 90 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:28,560 is a skill because when I first started flying I didn't like to sleep on airplanes and I was basically 91 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:35,920 just awake bloodshot eyes the whole time no matter how long the flight was playing on my phone 92 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,760 watching a movie reading a book whatever I was doing I was awake the whole time and I flew to China 93 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:47,360 and back a lot which are like long flights nine 12 hour flights I don't know long flights 94 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,520 and then I was like wait this is crazy like I've practiced lucid dreaming I have 95 00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:00,640 done a lot of self-discipline things I should be able to make myself go to sleep if I want to 96 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:10,240 and so on the next flight I just ear plugs I'm ask and then said sleep sleep sleep to myself 97 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:18,080 and then I fell asleep and I slept on a four hour flight beginning to end I woke up on the 98 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:26,800 plane landed and I was shocked that it had worked and that broke it now I can sleep on an airplane if I want to 99 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:33,680 and the neck pillow makes a huge difference like you can always get a good comfortable 100 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,760 lay with the head and it makes it so much easier to fall asleep which I didn't know until like last 101 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,440 I just got a good neck pillow from Daiso for like two bucks or three dollars I don't know but 102 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,480 Daiso neck pillows are my favorite because I don't like the velvet ones and I don't really like 103 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:58,160 the plastic ones and yeah they have a nice that feels like hot and neck pillow and it's fantastic 104 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,720 and speaking of sleeping comfortably in the airport also sleeping comfortably outside an 105 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:15,360 airport is often very doable in a lot of countries I camp outside the airport in a cops of trees 106 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,720 somewhere I'm usually hammock camping so it would probably be more difficult you know with the tent 107 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:29,360 but Hong Kong I did this almost every time Korean airports I did this a lot of airports I would go 108 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:37,040 outside at night once the sun had gone down so I didn't you know draw suspicion from the security 109 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:44,960 guards and I would walk out and there's like small like many forests that they keep on the airport land 110 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:51,120 and I just walk into one of those set up my hammock and bug net and then chill out because the 111 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:58,400 hammock is the most comfortable thing for me to sleep in I'm ask your plugs asleep and I would just 112 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:05,600 fall asleep overnight get up the next day go catch my flight the next day even sometimes when 113 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:12,080 I didn't have flight the next day but if I arrived in Hong Kong late I would definitely 114 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:21,440 just sleep in my hammock in one of those mini forests around the airport rather than catch a late bus 115 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,720 or hail a taxi to the closest hotel I'd much rather do that well rested in the morning 116 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:33,280 sometimes when the school I was teaching at that I became a partner of was pissing me off because 117 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,800 I was having a disagreement with the other partners about how best to run the school 118 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,800 I would have to go out for visa runs so I could renew my visa in China and instead of jumping 119 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,840 over the border and then coming back the same day or in one day I'd book through four days and I just 120 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,680 spend that whole time camping outside of an airport in Korea or Hong Kong because I was just 121 00:13:53,680 --> 00:14:01,040 chilling out so I'd read a book go into the city during the day visit a museum get some food 122 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:08,400 but then I'd go back to the airport courtyard and just sleep in a small little group of trees somewhere 123 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:16,000 center location cheap housing free housing bathrooms in the airport showers in the airport 124 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,200 just a nice little vacation from my schools occasionally if you're a backpacker or you just like camping 125 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:30,960 sleeping outside the airport is very convenient shops are all inside the restrooms inside fresh 126 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:37,280 water is inside and then you can just set up a hammock or a tent and sleep there for the night you'll 127 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:43,440 be rusted in the morning you can get out of there on a bus into the city or a taxi wherever you were 128 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:51,520 going to go so finding a place to sleep there's a website called sleeping in airports calm and it has 129 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,640 every airport in the world and some of them have less information than others but what I find 130 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:03,200 helpful is like is it 24 hours and they tell you yeah it's 24 hours which means you can sleep there any 131 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,720 airport that is 24 hours you can sleep overnight which is nice if you're worried about making 132 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:15,760 your next flight you can make sure you have a super long layover and set a timer on your 133 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:23,280 phone or an alarm and take a nap I do that all the time now when I because sometimes the flights 134 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:30,240 are cheaper if you buy two single tickets rather than one ticket incorporating two flights 135 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:38,560 I'm not sure exactly why that is but a lot of the times if I buy a flight that has two legs like 136 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:47,520 let's say LA to Hawaii and then Hong Kong if I buy that as one ticket it could be 600 bucks or you know 137 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,960 if you buy it the right time like I mentioned in my flight tickets it's going to be cheaper but 138 00:15:52,960 --> 00:16:00,400 it could be let's say yeah 600 dollars but if you buy them separately 450 like it's very 139 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,680 easy to save if you buy individual flights and change actually Guatemala is a better one because 140 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:14,160 I just bought this flight I was trying to get from Hawaii to Guatemala and if I bought a ticket from 141 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:23,200 Hawaii to Guatemala it went through California LA and it was 400 something something which was like 142 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:29,920 really was which which was crazy but if I bought them separate then it was a hundred dollars to LA 143 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:38,800 from Hawaii or 150 I can't remember and then it was 120 to Guatemala so it was 270 dollars total 144 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,520 so I saved 200 bucks simply by buying the two legs independently rather than buying them as a bundle 145 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:55,040 I find that happening a lot more these days in 2025 and 2024 I'm not sure why that is becoming more 146 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,240 popular maybe just because so many people are using the websites that bundle everything together for 147 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,240 you that they're charging premiums but you can easily save money by buying individual legs I like to 148 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:15,600 make everything as simple as possible so when I go through security I'm usually wearing slip-on shoes 149 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:23,600 or just slippers I don't want to deal with laces or anything like that and if I'm going two or 150 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,720 from tropical places I'm wearing slippers because there's no bomb check for those you don't put them on 151 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:36,320 the conveyor belt to go through security and it's just convenient oh most people call them flip flops 152 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:46,560 right I wear flip flops if I'm going somewhere tropical um wait limits wait limits are bull and it's 153 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:57,360 so frustrating that I weigh 80 pounds less than most people I'm thin and I'm American so I'm much 154 00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:05,680 just being thin I'm much less weighty than many of my fellow passengers but we have the exact same 155 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:13,360 suitcase limit why don't I get extra weight because that would you know insult people so they don't 156 00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:20,560 do it I understand why they don't but that has always frustrated me on the flip side it means that 157 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:32,080 you can basically wear as much weight as you want so I have two large inside pockets and then I have 158 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:40,240 sewn a pack pocket that's basically the size of my back on the back of my jacket I used an old button 159 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:48,480 down shirt I cut out the rectangle of the back of the shirt and I double stitched it onto the back of my 160 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,560 black jacket with black thread so you can't see anything but it's large enough to fit my laptop 161 00:18:54,560 --> 00:19:02,720 a charging cable which is half the weight of my rucksack because I have a giant computer and 162 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,480 but I can fit tons of stuff inside my jacket I can fit almost everything in my rucksack inside my jacket 163 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,640 if I stuff it in there so if you go over weight you get a jacket with inside pockets put your heavy 164 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,080 stuff in your pockets and you'll be able to get on that plane if it's in the clothes you are wearing 165 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,920 then you can do that and get on the plane if your suitcase is one ounce over they won't let you 166 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,520 on but your jacket you can add a hundred extra pounds of weight if you sewed your pockets on really 167 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:38,320 well and it's totally fine because it's bodily weight which they do not measure anywhere that I've 168 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:45,120 heard of right now and I am flying constantly in different countries and situations another reason 169 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:51,680 I like airports is because I have to take stock of what I have get rid of what I don't need I travel 170 00:19:51,680 --> 00:20:02,240 with one rucksack and that's five clothes two pants all my toiletries all my electronics all my 171 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:09,840 travel stuff all my hygiene stuff and then my laptop and I have a little carrying case for this microphone 172 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:16,560 actually but anything else there's not really anything else that that I need so anything I have a 173 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,480 crude I have to get rid of that before I go to the airport because the less you take the less trouble 174 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:28,640 everything is like it's you know physically lighter to carry it's easier to organize it's easier to 175 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:35,200 find the other stuff if you get rid of some of your stuff that you don't need so whenever I have to 176 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:41,040 go to the airport I know that I'm streamlining my possessions again which always feels good 177 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:47,840 having less stuff for me now all of that being said about what I like to do I will say that it's worth 178 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:54,400 to pay more or do something different if that's what you like especially for convenience 179 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:03,360 I like airports and I like liminal spaces and I like being in transit but if you don't and you can cut 180 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:09,760 five hours off of your flight time by paying 50 bucks it's worth it because what is your time worth 181 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:17,360 to you is it ten dollars an hour if it's more than ten dollars an hour then yeah spend the 50 bucks 182 00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:23,120 and save five hours off your flight and just fly direct or something if you are traveling 183 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:32,400 to most countries if you're American then you're gonna be saving a lot of money just by traveling 184 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:38,080 so you might as well spend that on making your life easier or more convenient or just more enjoyable 185 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:45,440 for you it's worth it good conversations or something else I like about airports I think this is 186 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:52,240 definitely a solo traveler thing more than if you're with anyone and especially on the airplane 187 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:59,680 rather than in the airport but I've had many good conversations with people that I never start 188 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:07,760 but when I am sucked into a conversation they usually turn out very interesting I met 189 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:14,640 an Indian girl on my flight out of India and that was a long flight that was like a six hour flight 190 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:21,840 but we talked I mean for a couple few hours and she shared a lot of things that I didn't know 191 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:28,400 because she was from a province that I hadn't visited while I was in India so she explained to me a 192 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,320 bunch of stuff about our hometowns and we talked about how India is way better than the states in 193 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:42,080 a lot of respects and how cool it is that the cows can just feed you know free roam and free 194 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:49,040 graze and people feed them and they treat them so well as compared to the horrific agricultural 195 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:56,480 factory farming practices in the US so we shared some interest we told each other about where we 196 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:02,640 traveled in some of our recent adventures or you know most memorable ones and it was just a good 197 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:10,640 conversation which a lot of my activities are solo like talking into a microphone so it's good 198 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:18,320 to make those connections sometimes anyway I don't want to go on too long about airports but airports 199 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:25,920 get a bad rap they're not as terrible as culture would lead you to believe they can be comfortable 200 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:33,360 in a lot of ways especially if you understand how they work airport camping when I was traveling 201 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:40,000 very frequently while I was teaching English in China and I frequently took planes to Korea and 202 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:47,040 back in two Hong Kong and back to re-up my visa once I figured out that I could hammock camp and all 203 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:53,600 those mini forests I mentioned I was I was it was like a vacation I was like okay I don't have to work 204 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:59,040 for the next two or three days I'll just go live at the airport bring some good food with me all my 205 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:05,040 snacks that I like lay in my hammock for a couple days watching TV or reading books recharge inside 206 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:11,760 or use the restroom when I had to inside the airports just a little mini vacation so to close this 207 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:21,840 out let's look for a cool airline deal right now well jeez Louise if you fly from Lisbon, Portugal 208 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:29,040 if you're visiting Europe you can fly to Morocco for $16 Spain for $16 France for $17 Malta for 209 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:39,040 $30 Switzerland $33 UK $38 Rome $40 Luxembourg $50 Poland $50 I mean yeah the prices are pretty good 210 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:45,600 from Portugal so go on and explore some of those airports and then get on to some of those countries 211 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:53,840 but bring an i-mask and earplugs with you makes a world of difference and comfort my email
