Travel hack: don’t ever connect through Chicago.
(this is mostly a s/o to my friend @intllawprof who had a 14 hour travel day Friday because he flew north to get south — but also, you really shouldn’t ever go through Chicago unless it’s your destination—no shade to the Windy City, just O’hare)

@depressivehacks
Being a light packer is honestly one of the best travel hacks.
Absolutely huge to be able to:
- spend less than an hour getting everything together for a trip
- walk straight to security at the airport without having to check any bags
- head straight to an Uber or rental upon landing instead of waiting for bags
- have everything on your person in case travel plans get interrupted
What are some of everyone else's favourite travel hacks? Always looking to add some good habits to my arsenal, and I know Farcaster is full of avid travelers.

@pichi
My parents: we need to go to the airport 3 hours early because TSA is affected by the government shutdown.
Me: I literally took 4 flights in 5 days and we have CLEAR and it’s a non issue because TSA Pre is open and I just went through your airport and it was fine.
Parents: *insert news article about 3 hour lines on Sunday*
Me: I’m getting vetoed huh?
(Actual wait time at CLEAR line: 8 seconds. Wait time to go through metal detector, a horrible 6 minutes)

Mexico City has been circling my brain space for the last few months. I’ve been twice but I’m curious: When do you think is the best time of year to go?

No country came close to the travel reluctance shown in Japan, where some 35% of respondents said they don’t intend to travel again.

Meteora. Rock, Faith, and Rope
Monks had been coming here since the 11th century, but they lived at the foot of the rocks. Then, in the 14th century, Athanasius the Meteorite arrived. After a pirate raid on Mount Athos, he came here - and did the impossible: climbed the highest rock (613 m) and founded the first monastery.
They built with local stone and flat bricks. Their combination still gives the facades that signature textured look. Building these monasteries was a true test of faith and courage - all materials were hauled up by hand, using ropes and winches. There were no roads until the 20th century.
There were 24 monasteries in total. Six have survived - big ones, small ones, and those with gardens. All of them welcome visitors during the day

New definition of a world traveler:
You don’t lean on the train poles because you know that’s where people hold on, and one person leaning reduces stability for at least three others.
Byproduct:
• Self-awareness
• Kindness to others
• Smart use of the environment
