One tip you would give your customers?
On long‑haul journeys with a connecting flight, always pack a spare change of clothes in your hand luggage. If your checked bag gets delayed or you’re stuck during a layover, you’ll be grateful for something fresh to wear.

I’ve ticked off roughly 25 countries, and I’m excited for all the ones still to come.
