My name is Sean and I’m a travel junkie.
In between trips, I can feel unhinged. I crave ridiculous foods, get stir crazy and drive my coworkers insane talking about travel. They tease me incessantly, saying the best way to distract me is to ask where I’ve been or where I’m going next.
There is some truth in jokes, but I don’t worry about the judgement of hypocrites. I’ve heard their stories just as many times and I stay in the building.
At any and all given times, I think about where to go, what to see and how to get a more authentic experience at a cheaper cost. I love everything about traveling and enjoy swapping stories with others about what we have seen and what we have done.
Imagine the amount of information passing through the bar on any given night.
With the right questions, you can get some phenomenal results. It’s a great way to hear about hidden gems around the world. It’s also a valuable distraction for bar guests if done right.
Everyone is looking for an escape and people love to tell you about that time they (insert random event here).
We all love to share our stories when the timing and topic are right. Behind the bar, you have to have a niche. Some talk sports, I talk about travel. I offer advice, ask it in return and piss off my coworkers while sharing the way.
That’s how I pay my bills and keep the adventure going.
Research random flights at least once a week. Just to see what’s available. I prefer to look around Tuesday or Wednesday night, but the more random, the better. That’s when I have found my best deals in the past.
Have fun with it in your time off and try to keep the spirit of travel with you. When you are stuck in your routine and feel a bit crazy, just ask yourself something of the sort.
“When is the cheapest time to go to New Zealand?”
Look it up and start planning a vacation you don’t plan on taking…
At least, not yet.
