The only catastrophe of this cross hemisphere trip so far is that I bought a $100 bottle of gin at ATLAS to bring home and the paper bag disintegrated in the rain and it shattered before I could even get in a cab. I guess I’m buying gin in Australia 🤷🏻♀️🍸😢
If you want to see the utter insanity of me traversing / biking / eating across a hemisphere solo (without barely sleeping), it’s on my Instagram.
I have this mantra of whenever anyone sends me anywhere, I just basically don’t sleep for days so I can see and do everything physically possible alone.
I cannot describe the exhausted I am as usual... I still wake up to work out at the gym before work, and then walk 15-20k steps a day outside work. I have zero clue where I’ll do laundry.
My checklist to go to another country alone now basically consists of only:
where do I sleep to get to work
will my phone sorta go
what visa do I need
what language do they speak
how to not get arrested
five minutes on Viator tours page on the plane
do I need a coat
which wall wort for usb c
I don’t really bother to look up safety because everyone thinks their city or town is the most dangerous, and I would never go anywhere.
I have all the rideshare apps and mobile pay 🤷🏻♀️🍸so I don’t change money in advance or anything
This is the way.
MostlyBlindGamer@hacks4pancakes you’ve touched on a few things I love about living in the future:
* one cable does everything
* we all speak Apple, regardless of our actual languages
* money is a virtual construct
* glass rectangles are magic

@MostlyBlindGamer there’s a lot of dystopia but smartphones have made international travel so much easier, especially if your carrier does free international roaming
HTTP 1.1/418 Teapot@hacks4pancakes @MostlyBlindGamer Having a thing in my pocket that I can point at a sign written in a language I don’t speak and I get a translation is magic I didn’t expect from the future and I love it.
@rmd1023 @hacks4pancakes having a thing in my pocket that I can point at a sign, regardless of language, and have it read out to me is wild. (My username is very literal.)
Add to that translation and navigation… unreal.
@MostlyBlindGamer @hacks4pancakes ACCESSIBILITY HELL YES. (I figured it was literal - I've got a friend who's on social media as "BlindGuyBiking" because, well, he is.)
