Might as well compound the assholery... international trip every year or so was a nice part of globalist lifestyle. Nothing like a break in a foreign country to really shake up the brain. I think my last trip outside US was September 2018... so that’s 2 years now.

So probably also the longest I’ve been in the US continuously in a decade. Damn.

Actually no business trip outside of the west coast in 2 years. Seattle, Bay Area, Portland, LA, Sacramento
Personal trips elsewhere for family stuff, but work travel was one-dimensional. Now zero-dimensional.1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

Nomad solastalgia. Homesickness for the itinerant lifestyle, paid for by others. This is probably the end of that lifestyle even after Covid. Air travel limited to essential family stuff and rare vacations. Good for climate, bad for my sanity.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1305252776125947908?s=21 …

I’ll have to see the world in a grain of sand or some such shitty thing instead of on frequent-flyer points

A lot of people are going to be mourning lost lifestyles and a lot more are going to be enjoying grim schadenfreude in the next few years.
