I read Educated by Tara Westhover on my last 17 hour flight and highly recommend! For self improvement The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck was great!! I really enjoyed reading it, although you may want to bring a second book. I liked reading it in chunks, not all at once.

"How to Survive a Long Haul Flight" - Matthew Eaves

Books? Enjoy the movies and lie flat bed!

Omg for photography I highly recommend It’s What I Do by Lynsey Addario. Love it so much.

Not a book, but I'd recommend the "photographing the world" video series.

Watched it on the way to Australia and I learned a ton about how people take and edit those iconic landscape photos.

“Around the world in 50 years” its an easy read about a person who traveled to every place in earth and the stories from his journey.

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

I’m honestly curious why the following happens: someone asks a question about covid restrictions/health issues/ etc and half of the responses are “this shouldn’t even be a question”. Today I saw a post about safe countries to travel to and general covid restrictions and half the responses were judgmental and rude. “No one should be traveling now- idk why you’re even asking this question.” “Asking this question means you’re part of the problem” what is UP w this level of judgment?????
