Destinatie de week-end: Lumea larga - Ocolul pamantului in 42h

Perhaps this endeavor seems silly—why go to all the trouble to end up where I begin? The answer is simple—I just wanted to get a feeling for how big or small the Earth is. And I felt by doing this, looking down from a plane would open up new perspectives for me. This was about trying to see the bigger picture; having it all in front of me in the best way I could.

I’m back. In only 42 hours, I traveled around the world on commercial airliners, and didn’t sleep at all. Without luggage, I casually entered the arrival hall.

This weekend changed my view of the world. For a long time I thought the world was incredibly vast, with endless space. Now I feel completely different—the world is small, and it’s amazing that we’re still all here after so many billions of years.
