Plan for “unexpected expenses”

What’s your best tip for budget travel?

1. Set aside an emergency fund that will get you a cab back to your hotel.

2. Have some cash on you. Some places don’t do credit cards or any cards.

3. Always have a bottle of water on you. Refill where you can.

4. Write down your hotel address & phone number in case your phone dies / network drops / no data.

5. Find a local convenience store for affordable snacks and beverages.

6. Remember to enjoy yourself.

Hate reads

Have you ever regretted reading a book — which one and why?

There’s too much system collapse going on for unhappy reading.

Don’t like the book? That’s ok. DNF and move on.

Hate reading on the other hand: Tell me everything. Whomst, why, and wherewithal… Tell. Me. I shall be discreet.

There is no best.

What’s the best and worst airport you’ve been to?

There are only different versions of manageable, familiar, requires good cardio, and actively hostile to one’s sanity.

Choices choices choices

What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?

A former boss told me the truth about a possible career, the realities of taking that path, and the various consequences it involved.

They gained nothing from this, but they did it anyway.

This honesty allowed me to make a genuinely informed decision, which in hindsight probably saved my life.
