On Flight Anxiety: What I've Learned After 250+ ...

I’ve flown over 50 times this year, at times taking as many as 6 flights in 24 hours.

In this post I have tried to outline things to take into consideration when packing "for forever" (or just a long trip) while limiting the weight and size of your pack. You will also find my detailed complete packing list.

Also the hours and traditions around coffee can seem quite weird. Here’s a translation of most kinds coffee you will find on a Spanish coffee shops menu as well as an introduction to finding wifi and figuring out the opening hours.
