Things I’ve Learned in the “University of the Sky”
People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars getting college and graduate degrees. For the grand total cost of zero dollars, I have learned hundreds of valuable lessons in what I like to call “The University of the Sky,” aka, working as a flight attendant. In addition to a regular paycheck and decent benefits, I get…

I read an article long ago about the things people leave behind on trains. Tokyo is literally crisscrossed with commuter trains that carry millions of passengers to and from various places every day.

Read MoreMystery resolved or Matilde meets James
Being a flight attendant, you don’t always work with same people, but there is a pretty young pilot (and when I say young, I think a couple years older than me) who sometimes flies with me on routes from New York to Amsterdam. We never did a lot of talking, but I knew that he…
Read MoreThe beauty of Berlin
Most times I’m the flight attendant on route from New York to Amsterdam, but my company sometimes gives me other routes to, which makes it possible to see some pretty amazing places. One of the last places I visited was Berlin, the capital of Germany. Even though it is just next to my home country…
