Now that I’m at a major and fly only international trips, I have long layovers and still go hiking, check out cool museums (recently found an amazing car museum in Tokyo), find weird street markets, etc. Most importantly for me, I love exploring and sampling the different types of foods!
A lot of our guys like to just go out and drink and may not even get past the local Irish/western bar. As I grow older, I’m finding that to be pretty boring and horrible for sleep. Anything I can do that isn’t that is my goal.
When I am with a crew with good chemistry, I'll do the same. I also have found that the only truly unique thing about anywhere I go is the local food. I'll ditch my crew if they suggest the "Outback" in Hong Kong. No body got time for dat.
Sadly though, it is truly a global economy and 99% of the stuff you find can be had cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. I try to look for the hand made stuff to bring home.
