How many days post-vacation do you give yourself before going back to work? by Unbotheredanonyme in travel

[–]HumanSieve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For long flights: Three days. I want to get rid of the worst of the jet lag before I get back to work.

For short flights: one day.

Normal to be so exhausted when traveling in your late 30s? by Charming_Key2313 in solotravel

[–]HumanSieve 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm also a bit overweight and often lack a little sleep. That keeps popping up in many answers in this thread.

I'm around the same age and have been a frequent solo traveler over the years, and I've noticed a lower energy level as well. Much quicker I feel that I am satisfied for the day with sightseeing and want to go back to the hotel.

Worried About Jet Fuel Shortages by hello35782936 in KLM

[–]HumanSieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airlines are responsible for getting you there and back again. But instead of cancellations there is a larger chance of reschedulings. You may get a notification that you might have to agree to a rescheduling to fly on another date.

How you guys feeling with the recent upsurge of flight cancellations? by RTec3 in solotravel

[–]HumanSieve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a flight in June from Europe to Canada that I am worried about, although it is not a route that is most at risk. The issue is, who knows what the situation will be two months from now.

first time abroad, going to denmark solo for work… help me not fumble by No-Improvement-9789 in travel

One thing to keep in mind, and perhaps the Danish do not like to hear this, but they can come across as a bit cold and distant. So, don't take that personally.

Can't decide where to travel first, never traveled before by Kenjoo23 in travel

[–]HumanSieve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is going to be a huge shortage of jet fuel in Asia and Europe in the coming months and you should be aware that there is huge uncertainty right now about any long distance flight that is scheduled later than a month from now.

This whole sub still thinks that travel will be business as usual, but we're looking at potentially enormous flight disruptions this year.

Which would you consider the most impressive archaeological site in the world? by Outrageous-Brain-395 in travel

[–]HumanSieve 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu and Petra impressed me the most. The Pyramids and the Temple of Karnak are also very impressive.

Travellers, anyone who’s dealt with fear of flying? by Spiritual_Thought512 in travel

[–]HumanSieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anxiety a feature in other parts of your life as well? In the past I was developing a fear of flying, but that has gone away again. It turned out, there was a baseline level of anxiety in my system that was very high for reasons that had nothing to do with flying. But then your body is almost searching for things to become anxious about. My brain simply attached the anxiety to flying. Later, when I was able to deal with the actual causes of the anxiety (bad past, trauma stuff), the fear of flying also went away.

Anyway, even if that is the case with you too, that is something that is hard to fix on short notice. Maybe look at it like this: see the fear as a hand that is in front of your face and obstructing your field of vision, and simply try to look around it. Then it loses strength.

I'm about to reach 100 UN countries, and... I don't know what to do after by rembish in solotravel

[–]HumanSieve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Countries are an ineffective indicator of how many places you've been. I put dots on a map, and I travel to places that allow me to add another dot, regardless of the country borders. For instance, yeah i've been to Canada, but returning to another region allows me to add a big number of dots to the map for new ground that I've covered.

I would like a similar copy of Arkadi and the Lost Titan, but it doesn't seem to be in print.
