 @0c1a9324 @a68330c8 I find plane hopping and passport / security entering EU to be the worst when we fly from Rio de Janeiro to Geneva. The rest is just boring & tedious and uncomfortable but that part where you have to line up and feel like you’re under arrest and fear you don’t have the right docs etc is the most stressful.

In comparison while also exhausting a 10 hour drive in seems very relaxing (and I don’t like driving particularly). Having no fixed time helps. 
 @b1398a2d @a68330c8 Driving is stressful when you're half blind in one eye—still legal, but it's impossible to relax vigilance because on one side your peripheral vision is shit and somebody might be overtaking in your giant blind spot.

I do not miss driving. (Still have a license but it's strictly for emergency use only.)
