"Have you thought about calling your travel blog 'Ben Lee and the Jets?'" - James M.
So I have a flying problem...I mean passion. I did 100+ flights annually for the last few years. However and in no small part due to a courageous young woman named Greta I’ve decided to re-evaluate my ways. In 2019 I’ve cut my flights by 40%. That’s still a lot, but I figured it is a good start.
Here some photos and random thoughts, mostly for myself. You can see my flight history here.
