The Magic of Air Travel

It’s so easy to complain and criticize the airlines, the packed seats, regular flight delays, poor service. But I still find wonder in the entire process. 

What other time and experience exists in modern day life like air travel. We literally travel continents in a few hours.  One moment you are in America, the next day you are on the other side of the planet in a completely different culture, pace and environment like Japan, Saudi Arabia, Georgia. Seeing new things, meeting new people, eating new foods. Variety is the spice of life. 

It’s jarring and invigorating. The regular context switching changes your brain. You get new ideas and you get the look at the world in a completely different light. Think about how amazing and magical this is. Perhaps this is why I still find myself excited about life. Lots of travel tied to interesting work.
