Naked, Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, France

When I was told my connecting flight from Paris to Boston was cancelled, I suppose I wasn’t overly concerned. The news came to me as I transferred in Bangkok. My 8th flight in 7 days, I was happy this came at the end of my trip. The Air France transfer desk in Paris put me […]

Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort, Bagan, Myanmar

Acting Café, Terminal 1, Shanghai/Pudong Airport, China

All I wanted was Starbucks. That’s it. I was flying from Beijing to Okinawa, connecting through Shanghai, and with a 4 hour layover all I wanted was to sit at a Starbucks and sip on an iced latte while answering emails. I was in the international terminal of Pudong afterall, this shouldn’t be a big […]
