I like the freedom of solo travel. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want and without the headache of having to consult your travel companion about it first. There are no debates, no compromises and best of all, no worries that your partner will find you lame and uncultured for ditching that 5th… Read More Why Solo Travel Sucks
So I didn’t go to Aruba. Or Bermuda. And I didn’t go to Antigua to visit my college roommate. Or to any of the other places (besides NY) that I’d originally planned to visit when I first decided to take an imprumptu mini-vaca somewhere tropical. No, I went to Cancun, Me-he-Ko! Which in America is… Read More On Why I Went to Mexico
I appologize for leaving ya hanging there with that last post. I meant to finish it, I did. But then I got sidetracked with planning a trip to the Caribbean and had to run to work. And well, you’ll have to wait a teeny tiny bit longer for the ending. I’m sorry! I know that… Read More I’m Going on a Travel-Spree!
Yesterday I almost got my fingers chopped off by an airplane (ahem, I mean aircraft) door handle. I was attempting to shut the airplane (I mean aircraft) door so that the airplane (okay, I give up) could make an on-time departure. Unfortunately for me, the plane, and all those on board, I’d never received jet… Read More Why I Love Working for an Airline (Part One)
I can’t write. And when I say that I can’t write, I mean that I can’t write. Anything. No thing. Not a blog post, not my grad school application essay. Not even something as minor league as an email. It’s like my muse has up and abandoned me. He’s found someone new. He’s probably off… Read More Have you seen my Muse?
Photo by Tiffany Von I’m afraid of flying. I know that may seem like a strange confession to make considering that I fly often enough to practically count it as a hobby and I work for, you know, an AIRLINE…but well, I didn’t say that it made any sense. It doesn’t matter how many “You’re… Read More Crash Course
So great news. I’ll be back to writing again on here soon. It’s been a crazy last few weeks and I’ve been bursting at the seams with all these great ideas for future blog posts. I guess I’ve just missed blogging too much to stay away for too long. Plus I figure that if I… Read More Airline Bootcamp
Photo by Tudor Costache The Taken by the Wind blog has sort of been taken out to pasture lately; neglected, abandoned. I could say that it’s because I’ve been too busy apartment-hunting or studying for the GRE to write, but the truth is that I just think that I’ve grown tired of this subject-matter. I… Read More The Future of this Blog
“Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what`s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn`t have to… Read More The Travel Stage
So much has happened in this past week I don’t even know where to begin so I guess I’ll just cut to the chase: Last week my favorite airline called to tell me that after two phone interviews, an in-person interview, a drug test and a 10-year criminal background check…they’d finally decided to hire me.… Read More Flying High
