Der Vielflieger

There used to be a time when I was constantly up in the air, living in one country and working in another. During those days, I was also very active in the frequent flyer community, moderating different online fora. Since then, my life has become increasingly grounded. In two months’ time however, I will get a throwback to my most insane George Clooney-like days as I will fly to Hong Kong for the Pacific meeting of the International Studies Association and then, directly after, to San Francisco for this year’s edition of the Breakthrough Dialogue. Plotting the flights in Great Circle Mapper tells me that it will be close to 25k miles in less than two weeks.
